| 1 posts | Song comment @ Whiter Shade Of Pale I recently found this song on a cd called "It Aint Heavy - Pure Soft Metal" and it cut out at the end of the second chorus... at around 4 mins. My dad used to have a copy on vinyl (Tour of Duty soundtrack) I was wondering how long the original version of the song was... |

| 3 posts | Song comment @ Whiter Shade Of Pale analysis of A WHITER SHADE OF PALE continued...verse 3-- SHE SAID 'I'M HOME ON SHORE LEAVE' --here, nicholas is stating that allison makes the comment that she's home on shore leave --here she acknowleges that 'nothing lasts for ever' and that there must be an understanding that this is basically a 'fling'--there may also be some sexual role playing here like 'i'll be the mermaid if you'll be neptune'...'so i took her by the looking glass and forced her to agree' --here nicholas is stating that while he and allison are near a mirror, he 'took her' (got sexual)--in the story, it seems he grabbed her crotch before even speaking to her --then he says 'you must be the mermaid who took neptune for a ride'--neptune is the mythological god of the sea--'but she smiled at me so sadly, that my anger straightway died'--here, i believe that nicholas states that allison had such a way of smiling that melted his heart--'and would not let her be one of 16 vestal virgins who were heading for the coast'--here i think nicholas is stating that allison is not going anywhere until after they make love-- while this song does not seem to address the entire story of the miller's tale, it does seem to focus on the nicholas must have been feeling, according to the singer, as he was seducing allison |

| 3 posts | Song comment @ Whiter Shade Of Pale analysis of A WHITER SHADE OF PALE continued...in the 2nd and third verses, i think the singer is speaking from NICHOLAS' perspective as he listens to allison speak and makes love with allison--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 16 VESTAL VIRGINS, WHO WERE HEADING FOR THE COAST, AND ALTHOUGH MY EYES WERE OPEN, THEY MIGHT HAVE JUST AS WELL BEEN CLOSED--AND SO IT WAS THAT LATER, AS THE MILLER TOLD HIS TALE, THAT HER FACE AT FIRST JUST TURNED A GHOSTLY WHITER SHADE OF PALE--SHE SAID 'I'M HOME ON SHORE LEAVE' THOUGH IN TRUTH WE WERE AT SEA, SO I TOOK HER BY THE LOOKING GLASS, AND FORCED HER TO AGREE, SAYING 'YOU MUST BE THE MERMAID WHO TOOK NEPTUNE FOR A RIDE', BUT SHE SMILED AT ME SO SADLY THAT MY ANGER STRAIGHTWAY DIED--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--verse 2--'but i wandered through my playing cards'--nicholas was an astrologer which means he would have been no stranger to greek and roman mythology and the meanings behind playing cards which are based on the tarot (tarot cards) |

| 3 posts | Song comment @ Whiter Shade Of Pale whiter shade of pale by procol harum--there are alot of interpretations of this song--here is mine--i believe it is about the seduction of allison by nicholas--here is why--i was listening to this song one day--as usual--i was trying to figure out what it meant--then i heard the line ' as the miller told his tale'--then i remembered this story i read in high-school called THE MILLER'S TALE by GEOFFERY CHAUCER--author, geffery chaucer--born 1343--died 1400--was the middle class son of a wine merchant and he was the writer of CANTERBURY TALES--a MILLER was a person who made thier living by grinding flour to grain so this would not be a man who would be capable of telling a noble story, and in this particular story, the miller is drunk--***in the first verse, singer-songwriter BROOKER takes on the role of the drunken miller as he begins the song by stating that he is high as a kite while giving a concert performance which sets the stage for his own rendition of THE MILLER'S TALE--the place for the miller's tale is oxford,england--the main characters in the miller's tale are ALLISON--NIC |
