The font was so nice.

What movie was this in??? All I can remember is it was a guy in a white room painting on a huge canvas and this song is playing on the radio.

I think it's "New York Stories"?

@The Batman And again... Batman saves the day!

This song was released 30 years before i was born, still a favorite of mine!

fab... my all time favorite....love it...takes me away to a different time and space..

amor atletico musica pose pessoa Brazil que nao isso ellen por relaxante

My favourite melancholy song!

my dad brought me here

Henrico Smara mine too

Wu-Tang brought me here..

I looked for this song so long! Finally I found out!

We've come a long way in the production of clips

Absolutely one of the greatest songs of the era--I didn't understand it then, and I don't now...

It was supposed to be about the sinking of the titanic from what i've heard

This is a symphony, and the crap played nowadays is garbage.

the mv is 144p but the music is 8k

Bad times back then. A war, hardcore drugs, and now bullshit trying to describe those times as "consciousness raising"; bullshit from people who weren't there.

Les. Plus beau slow des années 60 🍒

Been a long time since I heard this song. Brings back so many memories of High School & College. Was always one of the favorites.

When I moved to San Francisco, I was desperately looking for a new life, somehow wrapped in the sensibility of the Summer of Love. But I was too late, born too late. That kind of warmth, of love and human compassion once so worn openly on the sleeve without apology by the citizens of that city was long gone. The year was 2000, and a very dark era that we have never left was just around the corner...

Cesar Yabor beautifully said, thank you. I also was born too late, and long for a time that will never be again

Cesar Yabor beautifully said, thank you. I also was born too late, and long for a time that will never be again

Beautiful

Can someone play this on my Funeral...😰

Sure, when's it going to be

@mustangpassurchevy .I don't know.. I'm not Clairvoyant

This song in my will,to be played at mine...Love this song!!!

"Amid the search for higher consciousness during the flower power era, the song 'galvanised a congregation of disaffected youth dismissive of traditional religion but anxious to achieve spiritual salvation'"

Truer words...

>disaffected youth

That seems to always be lingo for the elite to shit on us with.

@KentuckyHustler and these days they like to tag on an "s" at the end of "youth" just to marginalize even more.

We vibin'

Whenever I hear this song come on, especially in a public place, Time. Just. Stops.

I have never failed witnessing people look up in wonderment, captured by something pulling at their soul.

Straight up, it reduces me to tears.

Really don’t understand this song but I like it

It's about tripping hard af lmao

Like all art, it doesn't matter one ounce of a flying fuck what the artist made of it, just what you make of it. So if you like something, that's all the understanding you need :D

Any doubts as to what may have inspired the writing of this song evaporate after viewing the 'official' video. Good trip fellas?

Who played music videos before MTV existed?

This was before MTV

@No Name thanks dude👍

@Violet J thanks A lot
I remember seeing one at the old bowling alley during my childhood
I never realized that machine was the reason music videos were invented

@Moose Stubbings That's cool. I never saw one back in the day. I just learned about them after seeing this video and reading Meowbay's description.

Awesome

This should be in the All Time Classical R&R,... world wide Hall of Fame!

Lyrics
We skipped a light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

I bought this when it first came out. My favourite from this decade. I still love it now I am 72 years old. Twickenham is my fave place, Eel Pie Island.

amor vida Felix o amanham descobindo que vale apenas tentar

Homburg!....

si vous écoutez bien cet enregistrement 1967! le piano la bass ! la guitare !sont pratiquement inexistants ! orgue Hammont batterie voix prennent le dessus . tout ceci est voulu....

I don't care about these 16K freaks,
i'm just enjoying

16k humanoid haters !! incomprehensible
Listening "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" on 28 January, 2020.
Good Vibes.

❤️❤️

The piano sounds amazing in this

le piano est pas présent dans cet enregistrement !ou très peu ...ce que tu perçoit c'est le son de l'orgue Hammond de M. Fisher....

It's not piano actually ,it's organ

Piano......piano....well....there is a piano in the song, just very soft. The main part is a hammond organ

The pianist/lead singer is Gary Brooker. The organist is Matthew Fisher. They cowrote the music. Amazing keyboard work here for sure.

Heard this for the first time on a Vietnam war documentary. I’ll never be able to associate it with anything else....

1967 Summer of love this song takes me right back there happy memories!!

I’m so confused why are most of the comments here from a day or two ago
What happened

You have it sorted by that, the video defaults to that now. The guy changed the font on the title like a weirdo.

It's a timeless song.That's it ;-)

@Forbid Mable what the....why would you do that

They were talking about it on the Howard Stern radio show.

Scott Vermillion omg thank you i was so puzzled

Thank you

This is a Great Freakin' Awesome song to get high too.

My favorite song

Hello Jeannie. This is for you!!  Hope you are well!      Awesome song!  I wish I could convey to you all, the meaning this song. 30 March  – 27 July 1967. I was dating and deeply in love with a beautiful young woman (18), from Eden, NY. I was also 18 and from Holland, NY.   After enlisting, I was destined for Marine Corps Recruit Depot, (MCRD), Parris Island, SC.       Using my “time tunnel”, I can relive those days. I will never, ever forget how happy and sad I felt!!  Sad, because I knew, deep inside, that I would be going off to Viet Nam. Sad because I knew we would have to say goodbye.
   God only knows how much I truly loved her. This song takes me back to a totally different time in my life. It is inspirational and supportive. No, sadly this story did not end well. I did leave for Viet Nam. Gone for 16 months. Combat for 15 months, in country. Changed me forever. I am, for the most part, okay.  Yes, this and so many other songs of the summer of 1967 help.  
   This is one of those songs, in particular.  As if this and other songs, were written for me. I was and still am, at 71, a hopeless, hapless romantic…and a warrior! Purple Heart and all.

I have boyfriend at 16. I think about him every minute. I am sixteen years old. God bless you and your love

I just read somewhere that John Lennon loved this song, and that he was listening to it over and over on a cassette player in the backseat of a car, and when he got to wherever he was going, he asked the driver to wait until the song finished. What a timeless song.

Do you know where you read it? I would like to read it as well.

@George A. I'm still trying to find the source again, but here is a mention about how Lennon loved to drop acid and listen. https://www.procolharum.com/lennon.htm

@George A. https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/liner-notes/youve-turned-a-whiter-shade-of-pale/ here is another mention, but I can't find the exact story about him asking his driver to wait. I'll keep looking!!

​@George A. https://qr.ae/TD6vHA Found it! It's on Quora but the comment says it's a quote from a John Lennon bio

❤️.

toujours ce titre qui n'en fini pas !...BRAVO !

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bububuuuu para los que dieron no me gusta en te video bubub

Classic Music is the BEST ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Maybe the best song ever !!!

oui complètement d'accord!...

The best song of the century

Nos pasa la vida cual veloz locomotora y vamos viendo por las ventanas, como cambia el paisaje y desaparecen tantas cosas amadas.
Se quedan en el camino, nuestros lugares, los árboles, nuestras canciones, las calles y también las personas que han tenido algún significado en nuestro viaje.
Perdemos tanto y a tal velocidad, , que llega un momento en el que ya no vemos hacia adelante, ya apenas y levantamos la mirada para ver lo que va quedando atrás,entre el humo y los años, lo que no volveremos a ver, a quienes nos dicen adios.
El tren sigue su marcha, no se detiene. Sigue su paso veloz y nosotros, nosotros solo deseamos que las cosas a nuestro alrededor, no se pierdan tan pronto en la distancia. JJ

This song is a legend forever... and that font in the title is the worst ever.

I was a boy at the time but my older brother had the album, even my mother loved this song. So timeless and classic.

essa musica me lembra. muita coisa boa .reunioes na garagem coisa boa.

simply and always fantastic!!!

successful

D novo aqui ,é muita saudades, quem também...

After all these years.. still ask how can this be.. amazing melody and effortless vocals. such a timeless gift.

La meilleurs année pour moi surtout en musique...j'avais 17 ans c'est 1967 , j'écoutais cette chanson en vacances avec mes parents en Italie Rimini à l'époque les filles adoraient les français quelle époque !

100% amateur

I was 10, just a bit young to miss the 60s music and didn't appreciate it till later, it was a long time ago and we don't have artists like this anymore, they are all molded now 1/23/2020 happy new year.

moi 14 ans !nous avons affaire à de vrais musiciens ...

Good music and good video

This was my parents wedding song, that and having me was probably the only good things about that marriage lol, he went walkies a few years into it.

Época de ouro, tava muito querendo saber o nome dessa música

time flies..........

"Life is a mere glimpse."
