A Whiter Shade of Pale

(창백한 그림자)

We skipped the light fandango

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

I was feeling kinda seasick

But 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

And 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

And so it was that later

Episode

판독 불가능한 가사와 소송 사건 탓에 “A Whiter Shade of Pale”은 팝 역사의 가장 수수께끼 같은, 가장 지구력 강한 창작물 중 하나로 굳어졌다. 테크니컬러의 카프탄을 휘날리던 1967년 여름, 이 팝과 고전 음악의 조화를 꾀한 싱글은 영국 싱글 차트 정상에 6주간을 머무는 ‘현란한’ 기록을 세웠다.[네이버 지식백과]
