Random Quote:

“‘A Whiter Shade Of Pale’ becomes utterly mesmerizing the moment Matthew Fisher’s Hammond organ pierces the air.

Procol Harum’s singer Gary Brooker was responsible for writing the music, although Fisher’s organ part was so prominent that he also eventually received a songwriting credit after a protracted court battle.

Keith Reid, who served as the band’s chief lyricist, wrote the words that have confounded generations of fans who still can’t help but singing along. In an interview with Uncut magazine, Reid shed a little light on the song’s origin and meaning:

‘I had the phrase ‘a whiter shade of pale,’ that was the start, and I knew it was a song,’ he said. ‘It’s like a jigsaw where you’ve got one piece, then you make up all the others to fit in. I was trying to conjure a mood as much as tell a straightforward, girl-leaves-boy story. With the ceiling flying away and room humming harder, I wanted to paint an image of a scene.'”
