quite rightly so

• procol harumun shine on brightly albumunden cok leziz, keyifli bir parca..
  
  sozleri ise soyle;
  
  for you (whose eyes were opened wide whilst mine refused to see)
  i'm sore in need of saving grace. be kind and humour me
  i'm lost amidst a sea of wheat
  where people speak but seldom meet
  and grief and laughter, strange but true
  although they die, they seldom cry
  an ode by any other name i know might read more sweet
  perhaps the sun will never shine upon my field of wheat
  but still in closing, let me say
  for those too sick, too sick to see
  though nothing shows, yes, someone knows
  i wish that one was me
• procol harum un a whiter shade of pale sı melankolik ve hatta psikedelik^* melodisiyle ön plana çıkarken bu şarkı sağlam progressive yürüyüşüyle dikkat çeker. 60'ların sonunda yapılan batı (britanya ve abd çoğunlukla) müziğinin dünya müzik tarihi ve serüveninin "şimdilik" zirve noktası olduğu tezlerine hafiften destek çıkar bir nevi.
