Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark

Procol Harum performing A Whiter Shade of Pale with the Danish National Concert Orchestra and choir at Ledreborg Castle, Denmark in August 2006
The song explores what it means to be wrecked, in more than one sense of the word. A nervous seducer sustains his courage with alcohol.
As he becomes more drunk, his impressions of his unfamiliar partner become confused by stray thoughts, fragments of childhood reading and his own faint-hearted aspirations.
The song's recurring metaphor is of maritime disaster, and a parallel is drawn between romantic conquest and the allure and peril of the sea.
