  • i don't like this version

  • Well, you heard it, didn't you? What more can you comment further? Truly the greatest song of all times to my ears, I meant the original by Procol Harum but this version by Annie Lennox is simply brilliant, excellent and magnificent and certainly stands on its own without comparison almost as if it is a different song as pointed rightly by ronstadtfanaz. Well said!

  • Amo essa musica. amo a esa cancion, i love this song!

  • In August 2010, Annie Lennox has signed a new recording contract with Island Records in the United Kingdom and Decca Records in the United States (both parts of Universal Music Group). His first job is a Christmas album entitled Christmas Cornucopia, published November 15, 2010 .

  • great music

  • mmm..Annie Lennox! :)

  • Canzone bellissima

  • q gran cancion de una gran pelicula: the net

    muy bonita xd

  • Lennox -- and the video makers -- got what the song was about, perfectly. This is much better than the sixties version.

  • Roza la perfección

  • I believe a young Monica Belucci is in this video:))

  • Awesome !!

  • awesome i love this icould watch this over and over

  • Linda música... leva-me amomentos agradáveis de minha vida... que saudades.

  • Ahhhh.. Beautiful ladies, awsome song put together.

  • WAIT! WAT! This actually touched my soul!

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • Nicely done in its own right. Annie has a perfect sultry voice for this melody. (but long live the Procol Harum version!).

  • great video.

    congratulations for your creation.

  • Amazing talent love her

  • Few if any would have the courage to tackle singing an iconic song like this and then have it come off as well as it does. It stands on it's on without comparison almost as if it is a different song. Bravo.

  • I truly understand your feelings and reactions to this great song by Procol Harum. Believe me, I honestly do.

  • It's better than the original. Exactly because of these women. (smile)

  • Love,Love,Love,Love!!!!!!!!

  • Me no like!

  • The original version has a quality that Annie did not manage to capture. Annie you are good but this song is not for you just for Procol Harum

  • Блестящий ремикс на Procol Harum!!! Эта музыка будет вечной!

  • I really like this video. Very modern and well done.

  • good video

  • video,not viseo lol O.o

  • amazing viseo and song,really fantastic,i hav no words

  • Wow, I never knew this song was about a bunch of gorgeous super models walking around a nice hotel. Actually, I'm pretty sure the dudes from Procol Harum were envisioning long legged models dancing in their hotel room when then recorded this.

  • Annie's singing is wonderful, however the string / synth sounds are bad and absence of the rich organ sound is missed for sure.

  • very good !

  • I really don't like this version and video. the original version is a song about a light topic (seducing a girl while both being drunk and high) but it creates a very intense atmosphere, so strong that there are still debates on the "true" deep meaning of the song (some of them being about drug overdose or suicide). this version totally rape that feeling away, casting everything into an aseptic world filled with lifeless mannequins, where the original topic of this song lays trivially as it is.

  • Lennox version, as good as someone may think will be forgotten.... and the original is a capo lavoro to come for centuries Bravo Procol Harum

  • Have always loved the original and always loved this version. Amazing that this perfect song hits you the same way now as it did 43 years ago!

  • This music is wonderful....the lyrics make me dream....

  • a whiter shade of anorexia. Feed those girls a hot dog or something for christ sakes!

  • Such a great song.....a classic. This is great for romance.....I also found this one same style......."Give you my soul"  by Mo'Sean

  • Je! kien se acuerda de esto?

  • Absolutely fantastic .....!!!!!

  • i dont understand the video can sum1 plz explain

  • El video es perfecto

  • good voice, but honey, you are no Procol Harum!

  • original was good

  • The original was good, but I've heard it so many times now, it's very nice to have this as a change.

  • 'd intence perception was truly sung.

  • VOICE

  • amazing on it's own but when played along with PH it just seems kinda..... empty

  • A classic reprised by my favourite voice. Just in another league.

  • Very well done by Annie Lennox to be fair. Very innovative, stylish and refreshing! She got style and class of her own but nothing beats the original, Procol Harum. I certainly and truly think this song, "A whiter shade of pale" is the greatest song of all time.

  • @8118325 ..AS long as she stays out of politics I will love her music..

  • @8118325 Since JEAN SEBASTIAN BACH AS YOU KNOW, the musica still alive. honor to Bach and the Procol Harum por re revisited in the sixties and later Annie in a great reacretion.

  • @8118325 I agree, this is good , but procol harum s version is superb and I must say as a teenager in the sixties I had a fantastic variety of singers and group's to listen to, if I cold take only 1 record with me when I die , it would be` whiter shade of pale by procol harum.

  • @8118325 Definitely timeless! Never sounds dated- it's impossible!

  • Her voice has always had that fine rich sound...

  • I love this version, but I prefer the original by Procol Harum.

  • Nothing beats the original, not even with Annie's lustrous voice.

  • Something so hauntingly beautiful about Lennoxs' voice; she is beseeching those whom are "a whiter shade of pale!"

  • Una cover ben fatta come questa meritava qualcosa di meglio di questo video che non esprime emozioni, se pure ben confezionato.

  • NICE

  • entra e violenta l'anima con passione immensa

  • zapomniałem o tym pięknym utworze...

  • I like the video,nice :)

  • This video doesn't fit the song but the movements of the models do... Doesn't anyone hear the song  for what it is!!!

  • Completely agree with you....

    i love this cover Annie is one of the most great singer...but video (beautiful on his own...) is completely disconnected with song

    have a good day to anyone

  • Reminds me of New Years eve. Except for the whole pool scene.

  • skinny is awesome i hate fat it stinks and looks gross they sweat and there toes make windows when they open them

  • you will get fat one day from age, and balx-toady!

  • @Howardtripper oh the pathicness of you !

  • 'THEIR'...... having a bad hair day....

  • Thats right but give me rich white skinny people to fat poor thugs anyday.or skinny poor thugs that are too lazy to get off there fat arses and work.

    Criminals take advantage of the good peoples understanding of indulgence,remember that.

    Bring back Capital Punishment.

    Nice video,they all look like my ex-girlfriends.

  • Is this a song track original from The Net of SAndra Bullock?

  • Yes it is, but this one is slightly diferent version though.

  • thanks for the info strker99, like the ending with song as background, so touching and stress releasing.

  • No problem and I agree it fit the movie perfectly. Especially after all that she been through.

  • sweet....

  • La Kno+~+~*e checking all the way in with the "Messenger"~*

  • A world without McDonalds!

  • I have fantasies about her, I know that is juvenile, but her eyes, her manner, her personality in these snapshots of herself.

    They.....move me.

  • öhm bis morgen, hab noch eine verabredung, mein schatz ruft, soll leute geben die auch geliebt werden :P nachti :D

  • hihi, kam aber spät , denke es ging an mich, dann sag mal an herr unbekannt :P

  • geht gar nicht, annie lennox ist schon cool...aber den song hat sie versaut

  • Wie bist du den drauf kleiner/e möchte gern nick ? Ich verzeih dir deine Drogen, nimm bissel mehr, dann werden wir von deinen scheiss Kommentaren verschont, sorry...

  • Respekt und Umgangston zeugt von Charakter!

  • Zarombiste! Mogę tego słuchać non stop.

  • LEANDRA... vc está em mim de um jeito tão intenso que jamais irei te esquecer ou deixar de dizer que te amei intensamente um dia mesmo não estando junto. Nossos sentimentos são diferentes de paixão, é mais que isso, é espiritual, pq é divino e belo. Eternamente Taima.... seu sempre: Will

  • Tout un cover. Incroyable.

  • Einfach nur wunderschön, das ist doch alles was heutzutage zählt .. Augen zu und geniessen. :-)

  • denk ich AUCH SO ;))

  • "daha kötü yorum olamaz" derken denk geldiğim yorum

  • interesting version of one of the most beautiful songs ever...

    but procul harum sounds more like real tragidy...

  • I really like Annie Lennox, but nobody can top the original.

  • dont get me wrong, I love the original, but I think that Willie Nelson does the best version

  • have you heard Zakk Wylde's version

  • @eachna indeed

  • nice song of course, but what's this video about???

  • This is played at the end of The Net (1995)

  • Nice - very nice...

  • ich liebe dieses lied....

  • Já somos dois...também viajo !!!vou até aquele tempo bom em que descobri o que é estar apaixonada... em que choarava de saudades ... ...

  • esta musica e maravilhosa, viajo no tempo

    quando a escuto. magnific.

  • Amazing version but the original is better. This is in The Net movie as I was watching it last night on DVD. The piano pieces in this are great.

  • LOL that's not a piano its a harpiscord

  • Haha, forgot I wrote this comment last night - I was very drunk! :)

  • This song is definitely one of my favorites. And I prefer Annie Lennox version, whose voice is just incredible though the lyric is very conceptual and non sense after all.

  • lol it's good but original is better.

  • NOTHING compared to the original. Okay, but nothing compared to Procol Harum's original.

  • You mean that Zakk version I heard on Youtube..

    yeah that drunken version,sorry it too overblown version that sounds like he is drunk and passing out...

    Just an opinion ..

  • i love it!!!!

  • 1 word.....FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Can't get enough, remastered with great professionalism

  • truly this is the best song ever

  • My favourite song!!! I love it!!!

  • My all time fav song!

  • ahahah yeah as procol harum....but probably they are on some dope 24/7, guess they dont even know what they sang...

  • So true! :'D

  • i like the top model in this video-clip . 10/10 for this song  . ilove it

  • (sigh)

     is such an emotional song for so many reason to me...........

    thankyou for sharing...

  • Przepiękny utworek! Przypominają się stare czasy.

  • Mnie też :)

  • Just keeping the Silence Revolution of Truth!

    Thanks so much for posting this wonderful music-art performance.

    Best regards,

    Javier V. Maldonado

  • tato pisnicka je ok awe mohlo by takowich byt wic...

  • Wish the video had some shots of the beach and Annie, because both are very beautiful.

    anyway, I thought the movie "The Net" was even better because it had this song in it.

  • While annie lennox does a fine job singing the song, this video makes about as much sense as the lyrics. I have never figured out what it's about.

  • Ask Procol Harum

  • Annie lennox I LOVE YOU!!!

  • The best version since the original which remains unique.

  • No to jest dobre dla panów, ku ich przestrodze :) Aby nie byli naiwni. Dziękuję Annie Lennox ;)

  • Procol harum is the orignal

  • i love this version, the best version of A whiter shade of pale. 5 stars for annie lennox

  • I first heard this version during the end credits of the movie "The Net" with Sandra Bullock. It sounds great there. But I enjoy it a lot less when I have to actually see Annie Lennox singing it. Kind of ruins it for me when I see the expressions on her face as she is singing it. Otherwise it's great.

  • this version is...uum...intresting? weird but i guess its pretty kwl,

  • LOL!! ThePsychedelicMoose:)

  • Haunting..i LOVE this version........!!:)

  • hermosa música

  • wow.. what a women

  • My favorite version has got to be Black Label Society's

  • i am not dying i am going i am sick of ths world i will head northeast on a horse i wil ride with the inuits

  • pfill; You have an interesting take on the song, not one I've seen before but very astute. The Vestal Virgins were venerated priestesses of Vesta (the Roman goddess of the hearth fire) and guardians of the luck of Rome who could intervene on behalf of those in trouble. I've read and heard interviews about it's meaning from Brooker himself, who admits he's not quite sure where some of it came from. There are a couple of verses that are rarely heard but they make the song over 7min. long.

  • And I have no concept of time other than it is flying

    If only I could kill the killer

    All I really want is some peace man

    A place to find a common ground

    And all I really want is a wavelength

    All I really want is some comfort

    A way to get my hands untied

    And all I really want is some justice.....

  • I played this song for over a decade,this is my fave version

  • this is a great video . like this better than the original video. song will be a classic forever.

  • simplesmente linda sem palavras

  • I <3 this song!!!

  • This is the moset beautiful song ever.

    I wish i knew the meaning.

    The lyrics of the whole song which a rarly song are so beautiful but it sound like this song is about something not that good.

    OMG leave it men to post their sexist stuff and negative comments to spoil a beautiful song and great vid.

    Must someone always cheapen something everything??

  • its about a young girl leaving to california..

    sorry gotta say that 2.. the lennox version doesnt make sense.. she probaly didnt know what that song is about;)

  • I think the song is about a trophy wife having a 1 night stand with a musician. "as the miller told his tale a face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale" The miller is a reference to the miller's tale in The Canterbury tales a story of a trophy wife having an affair. There is a line in the original that says she is on shore leave and a vestal virgin. Vestal Virgins were keepers of the sacred hearth (housewife), shore leave is what sailors get so they can go into town for a night.

  • One of my father's favorite songs was PH's original. I had never heard this version. I regret I couldn't share it with him. Especially since he loved the Lennox. Thank you for posting this.

  • great slow dancing song, not much meaning, but grab your women and dance to this song, cheek to cheek, your hand behind her waist, and her arms around your neck, feel the love.

  • I'm glad you like the song, but i have to dis agree. The song is full of too many meanings.

    It's lovely just the music part, I agree. i hope you have a romantic dance with the one you love.

  • AW!!!

  • who is the girl that sits on the end of the bed when they are dancing??

  • very good,brilliant in fact,really interesting video...

  • here we go again! negative comments just spoil it! english, spanish, french, german or italian or any languages from "timbuktu" - who cares! just listen and enjoy the music!

  • stand corrected, "skipped" is the lyric

  • s/b "tripped"

  • Tre angeli proteggono la tua vita: l'amore, la felicità, la fortuna. Ma se tu avessi bisogno del quarto ricordati di me che sono tuo amico...

  • maybe,the comment was in their country, so french please when replying back

  • b obe

  • The most magnificent song ever written.!!

    theres been comments about the song making

    "no-sense".Song writing is about one-line

    statements.Each statement does not

    neccessarily have to "co-here" to the previous

    everyone has a different interpretation as to

    what this song means to them.!

  • One of the greatest ever tracks...but lyrics are abstract like alot of british lyrics and here they are perhaps substance inspired

  • Isnt it strange whenever the song is brilliant the video is as well no cut every second,just flow and story well done.

  • I first heard this song at "The Net" movie staring Sandra Bullock. It's a classic. I'm still listening.

  • haha me too.... it really rocks... suits the mood and part of the movie where it was played

  • What a wonderful voice she has for this number. Bloody lovely.

  • vorrei tornare indietro al 67 e godermi di nuovo quei momenti! e quella musica...oggi in Sardegna vedo solo montagne di rifiuti!

  • loybillyrock tu a deto lostezo que io sento.

    a capito?,e conociuto en 1967 a mi ragazza,dopo mi affianzata con cuesta cancone ,esposato 1970 fine a oggi

    38 ani de amore.

    Soy de Uruguay ,pero vivo en Toronto ,Canada.

    Si pudiera volver a aquellos tiempos del 67 y aquella musica..

    piacceri ,tante gracia

  • ciao,jaurena47 email per te.

  • Mon pote Roger Counet, qui s'en est allé rejoindre Freddy Mercury et John Lennon me répétait il y a bien longtemps que c'était le plus beau slow du monde.
