"A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Procol Harum - Cover by Emily Linge
I'd like to pay tribute to Gary Brooker with this timeless masterpiece by Procol Harum. This song was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach.

 
Special thanks to @OvidioDeFerrari for helping with the piano arrangement
Thanks also to @elvisgaragic9104 from @SoundStruckStudios Dubai for the mix/mastering

Lyrics:

We skipped the 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
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've 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

It's 530 am, woke up and saw
this on my feed. The way she sings one of the best songs ever written floored me, I'm a disabled veteran and I used to use this song to sleep at night, it calmed me. This version is angelic. I have a tear running down my cheek hearing this..Thank you young lady for respecting this beautiful song..

The original version of this classic is still my favorite (I am 82 year old), but it warms my heart to hear this talented young musician cover my all-time favorite.

This song has been playing periodically in my mind for over fifty years now. My dance partner and I closed out the High School prom with a slow dance to this very tune. For us, it was a shining moment, we left the dance floor and went on to marriage and life. Never had to look back because we always had that moment, that tune, in our head. We talk about it from time to time. You brought all that back. A testament to your talent.

A very talented young lady. I've always loved this Procol Harem song. It's been a favorite for many years. I'm 72 and still enjoying cover bands from my era. God bless. Cheers from eastern TN

I love to see the young people keep our “golden oldies” alive. This is a particularly excellent version!

Admire people who can play an instrument and sing along with it, and then manage to capture meaning and express emotions in their vocalizations.

This girl knows how to present a classic song properly. Totally sublime.

I love the modesty in her voice. A little shyness makes the performance really lovely.

Gary would be proud at such a sensitive rendition of his signature song.

She knows how to play piano very well. It flows like water in the river. God bless her.
