A song about redemption. This was talent on loan from God. I was 8 when this song came out. Loved your reaction. You’d like the song “Conquistador “ they sang at the same concert.
Another great Procol Harum song is A Salty Dog. I kind of like the original better than the orchestral version in 2006. It's basically Gary Brooker and the organ. It's also a very powerful song, with religious overtones.
There are many misconceptions surrounding the meaning of the song -- see th-cam.com/video/Pf73XwjZIFQ/w-d-xo.html for the interview w-writer Keith Reid & composer/lead singer Gary Brooker, founder of the band began in '67 who passed away in Feb. 2022. It is also said that Reid was "going to reveal the true meaning before he died" but he died before he explained anything. Many people believe it was about a drunken one-night stand. Procol Harum is supposed to have been the name of a friend's cat -- the name is a mis-spelling of the Latin phrase Procul Harun (roughly meaning “far beyond these things”), or that it was a corruption of Procellarum, a vast ocean on the Moon. It was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's “Sleepers, Wake!” and “Air on the G String” but contrary to popular belief, the song is not a direct copy or paraphrase of any music by Bach although it makes references to both pieces. As per Reid, the line "as the miller told his tale" is definitely not a reference to Chaucer's Miller's Tale. Reid has repeatedly explained he'd never read The Canterbury Tales when he wrote A Whiter Shade of Pale. In Roman Times Vestal Virgins were priestesses and acquired their name after Vesta, the goddess of the hearth and home to keep the home fires burning. It was their duty to not only remain a virgin for 30 years but they were to keep Vesta's sacred fire burning. This is the Danish National Concert Orchestra, filmed by Ledreborg Castle in Denmark. The song has been the most played song in the U.K. for the last 75 yrs. (There is one problem when you show a video on the side -- it cuts off much of what is going on in rhe video - we do not see everything -- i have seen other reactors do it this way also & much is cut off -- thanks)
Gary's voice was something else. R.I.P.
magical voice of Gary
Gary Brooker has the most charming voice.
As close to a perfect live performance as it gets! Great reaction. This song touches me too.
