a whiter shade of pale lyrics meaning annie lennox

Weskipped 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. AnnieLennox performs 'Whiter Shade of Pale' from her album 'Medusa' in 1995 on "Steve Wright's People" on BBC1 TV. Thestory goes that Reid was at a party and overheard a man say to a woman that her face turned a "whiter shade of pale.". Reid thought that was a fascinating idea. Lyrically, the dreamy poem he wrote references a room spinning out of control and the roof flying away. Fans assumed that he was writing under the influence of marijuana. Itseems that many have their own interpretations to the meaning of this song. Anywhere from drugs ,death ,lost love and some just plain comical But accordin Vay Tienonline Me.
