    ► Lyrics
    We skipped the light fandango
    Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
    I was feeling kinda seasick
    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
    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

      This is an outstanding song without a doubt. There was something brewing at this time when bands such as The Beatles, Procol Harum and others began to realize that Rock music could be more than 2.5 minute love songs. They could be works that actually bordered on Art. During the same era you had people like Bob Dylan who were releasing songs that also were incredibly beautiful. One of my favorites during this time was "Don't think twice it's alright." Years later released in my opinion is also one of the best songs ever written by a human: Shelter from the storm.

    Every time I listen to this it brings me back to me working on a commercial fishing boat in 1980. we had a storm come on us and we headed to a safe port to wait the waves out. There was such a congregation of boats that a party took place on the pier in a big storage area. There was all kinds of booze and accessories available and soon I fell asleep on a pile of nets against the wall, listening to the band play this song over and over as the waves raged around us and the wind seemed likely to rip the roof off the shed.

      The AI-generated artwork accompanying Keith Reid's lyrics and Gary Brooker's vocal is imaginative, even awesome.
      However, the AI seems at a loss when accompanying the organ-dominated instrumental music.
      In this video, AI only shows standard and imaginary forms of keyboards ... not, for instance, an aquatic creature playing keyboards beneath the sea to an audience of tiny UFOs or other imaginary visions.
      Perhaps it was the programmer, but based on the expressive visuals accompanying the singing I doubt it.

      As for subtleness - can you imagine having to differentiate sarcasm in an AI: "Good Morning Bob, I just thought I'd just ensure a peaceful day for you and the missus and terminated the children"
      AI fizzled out in the 1980s and towards the end practitioners insisted on calling it machine intelligence to get away from all the sci-fi stuff and put proper delimiters on the scope of applications. This is I think where it needs to go again very quickly although all that sci-fi stuff does (as then) draw in the investment bucks.
