BOKO HARAM? PROCOL HAREM? Nigerian terrorists? - 18 Jun 2011 – ... our capability,” the group known as Boko Haram… not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter ...

[ward1957]

[Suprememan71]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[TheMERLIN999]

Almost 45 years since this CLASSIC was released and it's still a CLASSIC

Two thumbs up !

[lorbeeren]

fantastic song

[deanie557]

How the f""k can 91 people dislike this song??? Clearly shows that they don't have a clue about music!!!

[justynaija]

In our stupid " pop" world, bands like this one and songs like this one are like a breath of fresh air.

[guala73]

Datemi la macchina del tempo...

Voglio tornare a quell'epoca...

[aussiesongbird]

Very beautiful! I've always loved this song!

[jporcel100]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[marcospiniello]

Procul harum...la storia siete voi

[marcospiniello]

Questo fa parte del mio passato un brano indimenticabile che ha lasciato un segno indelebile ma non solo,ha segnato in epoca straordinaria di quegli anni...ogni volta che lo ascolto mi emoziono e mi va di suonarlo con la mia kitarra,grandi grandi pazzeschi!!!!!

[primocasadei]

Il nostro bisogno di ascoltare e riascoltare questo grande brano del passato fa sì che esso sia sempre attuale.

[Pedrozambujal]

youtube has a bug... the dislike button

[vulfkhan]

Sacred hymn from the 60's... Perfect.

Couldn't help but feel I was either in church or at a Galaxy Quest Convention tho'... B^)

[boxtie]

different lyrics in this like.....still class...



[boxtie]

Married in May 1973 and was waiting for Susan to appear...all of a sudden the organist knocked a perfect version of this.....I was stunned.....what class.....by the way.still married almost 39 years later.....love music.....and of course Sue.....

[hanes1954]

This song number one!!!!!!!!

[sergioriundo]

extraordinaria cancion de los 60s, como la mayoria de ellas de esa epoca.

[svenska1946]

....Love it!!......a true classic!!

[iphonebrasil2012]

Uma das melhores canções de todos os tempos!

[cathycothy]

THE BEGGINING SOUNDS LIKE BACH'S ''AIR ON THE G STRING''.

[cathycothy]

@cathycothy both songs sound alike



[swede1one]

@cathycothy classic reinvented as a classic

[Ginasong]

@cathycothy I read that the composer had actually been listening to Bach's Air before composing this. "Air" is one of my favorites too and you can hear the influence of the master in this song, I think. Good observation. I'm getting ready to combine the two in a wedding. I had joined them before I ever read what the composer said. I think I felt the connection subconsciously. lol

[jagsfish]

These modern kids know nothing about good music and lyrics.

[ForForm]

This reminds me of the time when I was young and me and my parents used to play this from one of my father's first cd's. They divorced a couple of years ago and this reminds of easier times. Not really happier, but surely it was easier.

[JosephHuntington]

Dr Joseph Huntington has a beautiful mistress.

[lillypuss7]

I can't get enough of this piano...

[santomaryable]

Wonder if Justin B would even remember this?? Not in this life!!!!!!!

[zedster911]

ah ... sooooo many memmories from so many decades

[zywocice]

dołożyć bełkotliwego rapu i po wszystkim

[odysseynz]

The song will be remained the same forever.

[odysseynz]

The song will remain yt

[lauratwo16]

So haunting and enduring this song is to many and myself.

Very glad Matthew Fisher received co-authorship rights even after some 40 years.

English Law is a beautiful thing.

LauraUSA

[HDCSD600]

[theteachervictor]

Still gives me goosebumps 40 years later

[MrMajota]

Csodás teljesítmény!

[1chihira]

beautifull,thanks

[tjaonline]

das ist so gut

[VENTURES79]

Who's on the guitar?

[kykkak]

@VENTURES79 Looks like James May from Top Gear's brother (hehe). Think it is Geoff Whitehorn.

[Spiewaczek]

i love you

[bfandreasyt]

OMFG! They shone on brightly.

I had to listen to a whole lot of Bach and read Chaucer in the sort of original and a lot of the Beat Generation just to get half of this song. You are easily looking at 2 years of instense education just to scratch the surface of it.

What a masterpiece!

[kcmet79]

@bfandreasyt what's to "get"? it's not exactly a complex composition. no offense, just curious

[Lauramicol]

Uno dei più bei lenti degli anni 60.

[ujalbhatia]

quite simply, one of the greatest rock songs ever.

[JRP020563]

TOCANDO MEJOR QUE NUNCA. FABULOSO VIDEO

[MsYatesJ]

I learned to play the organ first before the piano. I remembered it took like 5 minutes for it to warm up. Love this song to, it can draw you in and just calm you.

[marybeek]

you can download it from the internet

[lakesidecyp]

One of my all time favourites - I never tire of it from the original to the latest. Wish I had it on CD but cannot find it anywhere over here. Thaks guys for bringing back so many memories of a fantastic era.

[aldegundis25]

m'encanta aquesta cançó.

Rosa p.

[MsAquamarine61]

I am impressed that Procol Harum sounds still as fantastic today as yesterday, great work!!! It sure sounded good to hear this song again! Your fan,

[jimincairns]

Eighty-six punks turned a whiter shade of pale when they heard REAL music for the first time..

[russtommy1]

クラシックハモンドを弾くマシュー・フィッシャーが最高です。

[osmoon]

@russtommy1 I agree with you, it sounds fantastic (thanks google translate).

[awaken77]

I love that disturbing Leslie effect in the chorus. Probably the most important hammond organ record in pop music

[THEMOJOMANsince1959]

@awaken77 RIGHT ON !!! gets right into your feelings

[Charline1151]

LOVE this song!

[MrDomeDoyou]

One of those songs you remember where you were hearing it for the FIRST TIME....A CLASSIC!!!!

[SuperWilima]

this song is something,,,,,,,,

[canids]

Who remembers the bay city rollers, David Cassidy. They were fluff. This is music.

[glencoe1962]

SUPERB! My past, my present, my future! Fantastic Chrismas if closed with this poem! GREAT!

[c2lion83]

C'est de superbe souvenirs (pour chasser les filles ) a l'époque du vinyl et 1974 ; C'était le bon temps .

[sipapito]

Best song total classic made me cry just remembering all my past life...

[spillerxxxxx]

@sipapito my friend, that will make u cry:  Rolling Stones-Wild Horses

[profgyland]

Well, we all get old and so is the old Hammond B and so do I having been deeply involved with the Hammond organisation.

[kosmosban]

just,,,the best KEYBOARD and the best music from 60 years.......when i start to play here in Brazil, São Paulo/SP in 1969. Today after many years i followw to play and sing in the balls

and people really start to cry remembering good times of their lifes. KOSMOSMUSICSSHOW

[metjovi]

Hey Gary, 8696 people called out for more.

[Mansfassade]

[THEMOJOMANsince1959]

@Mansfassade This one AND Kentucky Rain by Elvis AND Reflections of My Life by Marmalade.

[soonfreeman]

So atmospheric, melodic and calm!

86 people have a see sick even when they are on a land!

[zackii90]

2011 and You are here just to press like

\m/ Long live music

[czerwonyrus]

Вечная мелодия.

[Macromol20111]

Thank you SO MUCH for upload this timeless song!! Actually, I have been looking around for this song, because I knew its lyrics but NOT its title. Today, I eventually found that on youtube. This song has special meaning to me. The first time I heard it when I was in the teenage around 1968 in Saigon, South Viet-Nam during the VietNam war. That was the time the war entered its climax with B52, napalm etc., saddening the mind of a young kid. Today, this song brought me back to meet that kid.

[MsSherrie65]

My favorite of all times.

[Derukugi2]

They are still playing the songs from that era today. That wont happen with the crap that is produced nowadays. What happened? Where did the magic go?

[ELKARASUCIA]

I wonder if one of Justin Bieber's hits will stand the pressure of time and stays as contemporary as this song in 40 plus years from now, remember that this song was recorded in 1967and still seems to have been recorded yesterday, this is what is call a CLASSIC, THUMBS UP GUYS

[Derukugi2]

@ELKARASUCIA

Exactly.

[TellyComedyAndDrama]

@ELKARASUCIA What a fucking moron you. Music is Music, Beiber is right now, what Harlum was then, CURRENT and POPULAR, music grows, fans get old and boring, You are just an idiott

[sgtpepper1138]

@TellyComedyAndDrama Yeah, but just because it's popular now doesn't mean it'll really be remembered (by the general public) in 40 years. I'm not saying it'll be buried forever and no one will remember it, but by the general masses. Like The Beatles, everyone knows who The Beatles are. But i'm sure there are bands who released a few albums and were insanely popular, but the general public might not know who they are/were. Relax man, no need to get all worked up over a simple statement.

[sigmondball]

@TellyComedyAndDrama justin beiber might as well be in thunderbirds hes a talentless puppet...monkey in fact

[sigmondball]

@TellyComedyAndDrama these are real musicians not some corporate media zombie

[AnOrganCornucopia]

A great song, but to use a Hammond while the chapel's FABULOUS Father Willis pipe organ sits at the back, silent? A tragic missed opportunity.

[althayrmoraes26]

I FEEL SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT EVERYTIME I LISTEN THIS AMAZING SONG, SINCE MY TEN YEARS OLD, FIRST TIME I HEARD IT ! THE TIME PASSED AND TODAY IN MY 54 YEARS OLD I STILL EMOTIONAL FEEL ME BECAUSE THIS MUSIC WHAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFULTO ME OF ALL TIME ! - SANTOS-SP - BRAZIL ( 16 DEC 2011 )

[bengtina]

yes the best song of last century you can be happy and relax to this song and you can be very sad it is allways the same fealing and you allways feel it in allbody and mind

[TheElmerfudd2]

I had my very very beautiful rented R&R girl on the dance floor. Under my clothes I still had my friend's blood on me.. ( no matter how hard I tried there was a spot where you can't see but she does) As the band played this song. There was no joy. Being shot is lest painful. While my friend's were a whiter shade a pale!

[musicox13]

THEY ARE 85 FANS OF JUSTIN BIEBER IN THIS ROOM !!!

[TommyCruze]

'The Boat That Rocked', amazing movie!

[sgtpepper1138]

@TommyCruze I still prefer the U.S. title of Pirate Radio.

[gitans21]

super!

[evrardbernard]

trop beau j adore

[kaam0s]

^not a quarter as good, as bach's "air" (suite in d), but still great

[larryinwashington]

Feeling. Soul. Hearts raw, crying to empty heaven with pain, with life lived in this world of earth: emotion wide open. This is a beautiful song and the lyrics are secondary to the pulling on our souls left in this fallen world.

[Bruce88keys]

I still get weepy- the greatest music !!

[kapuzio7]

zajebisty

[aspence60]

iTs about a Man Loosing his father, and how it makes you cold as Mid Winter, and reflecting on life, Now if thats stupid, you need help friend,,

[theID2]

[sgtpepper1138]

[rusty9091]

[ronrizzi]

@jackducky ... yeah it makes you do that doesn't it!

Every time even 45 years later1

[carlid33]

Que lindo :)

[hannahsamachan]

Wenn ich diese Lied höre bin ich Zuhause. Ich bin noch ein Kind, draußen liegt sehr hoch Schnee und drinnen ist es ganz warm. Mein Dad sitzt an der Orgel und spielt.

Egal wie alt ich bin, zu diesem Lied werde ich immer das kleine Mädchen von meinem Papa sein, der mich an einen wunderschönen Wintertag mit den Klängen seiner Hammond wärmt <3

[gazmanc1]

Top class musicians.. :) 

[wiccandream]

Thank you uploader!! Such a Beautiful Classic!! Memories... a wonderful thing!!

[K500126]

Jsou to léta na střední škole kdy jsme sháněli LP desky této kapely.

Tato hudba je krásná i po mnoha letech.

[megabaron69]

Wie gern würd ich die Zeit zurückdrehen, auf Damals 1966, da war ich 9 Jahre alt, in Italien mit meinen Eltern auf Urlaub, Lignano Pineta - Hausmeisterstrand, war in ein italienisches Mädl verlieb! ..... In einem Eckcafe tanzten wir zusammen es war traumhaft schön, ich kann mich zwar nicht mehr an den Namen des Mädchen erinnern, aber an diese traumhaft schöne Musik - es wurde meine erste Single - weiß heut eigentlich noch jemand der heutigen Jugend, was eine Si BKK

[1977napoli]

@megabaron69 Musik ist der Zauber der einen Moment in deinen Leben unvergessen macht. von William Piro

Dieses Lied ist pure Magie es erinnert mich an meinen ersten Kuss, es war auf meinen 17 Geburtstag. Ich weiss bis heute noch nicht wie das Mädchen hiess aber an dieses Lied zu dem wir getanzt und uns geküsst haben werde ich nie vergessen.

[sammi221us]

EVERY TIME I listen to this, it takes my breath away! 

[53lanka1]

Jedna z nejkrásnějších songů, co jsem slyšela. 

[ppdtc]

I still remember the beautiful Spanish girl I danced with to this song...it was April 1967, in Madrid .

[lightcrew]

That organ better never break down!

[jackducky]

friggin awesome, im about to cry.

[Flower7777777Power]

I don't know if you people share the same opinion as mine, but to me,

Gary's voice got better as it used to be...............

[maddadram1]

Phaphinsky..boy you got that right!

[janistabor]

AWE SOME!!!!

[lungbernd]

absolute timeless ! ! !

[ELKARASUCIA]

Music now days is CRAP, is hard to believe that after more than 40 years, this guys will still kick ass to new singers. song stills one of the best of all times.

[HonRevJoWazzoo]

True story. In 1968 at my Fraternity we played this on 45 RPM like 1,000 times on a Saturday night and when the sun came up the record was trashed on the sidewalk. We went out and as the sun Came up, we smashed the remnants on the sidewalk. It was gonzo, :-)

[donnaforena]

after all those years he never lost his voice, still the Procol Harum, i'm only confused on the second verse or I am lost somewhere.

[staycoolfool]

Its the hunting music

[yyl74]

The keyboard solo really touch my heart.

[prohammond]

@yyl74 Man ! It is not a keyboard!!! This is THE HAMMOND ORGAN !!! The most incredible instrument ever, used of coarse Keys. But please never call this marvel -keyboard.

[punkprincessv]

@prohammond I know a Hammond is epic, but an organ is also a keyboard instrument. I guess you are mad about some people think it is an "electric" keyboard.

[prohammond]

@punkprincessv an organ is a keyboard instrument. an organ is a instrument. an organ is an organ Same : Carillon is also a keyboard instrument. Carillon is an instrument- people think Carillon .

[prohammond]

@punkprincessv If band leader needs Hammond player ,he never looks for keyboard player

[THEMOJOMANsince1959]

@prohammond  You got that right. AND it made a hit outa GREEN EYED LADY also

[cqsallie]

@prohammond Exactly! The Hammond Organ! I once bought one. I think it's still there somewhere in somebody's house. A gift from me. And whoever has it now probably knows no more how to play it than I did. I made up for it by buying keyboards and guitars and drumsets and ukeleles and every other instrument I could think of, but I always regret not learning how to play that Hammond Organ....

[Rodzinnearchiwum]

@cqsallie So it is. Many piano and keyboard players try to touch my Hammond. Sounds ridiculous and no wonder.Better try to imitate Hammond on keyboard, but then You have i m i t a t i o n.! Don't try to imitate your girlfriend with the rubber doll.

[justynaija]

In our plastic and "pop" world,music like this one is like a breath of fresh air.

Where have all the real bands gone ?

[TellyComedyAndDrama]

@justynaija Where have all the young fans gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
