Gerry & The Pacemakers - Ferry Cross the Mersey 1965

Life goes on day after day

Hearts torn in every way

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

'cause this land's the place I love

and here I'll stay

People they rush everywhere

Each with their own secret care

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

and always take me there

The place I love

People around every corner

They seem to smile and say

We don't care what your name is boy

We'll never turn you away

So I'll continue to say

Here I always will stay

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

'cause this land's the place I love

and here I'll stay

and here I'll stay

Here I'll stay

Bellísima canción que me retrotrae a a los años de mi adolescencia cuando oyendo Radio Gibraltar creía que otra realidad era posible. Eran los años de la estúpida dictadura del General Franco

I was only 9 yrs old when I first saw the movie with my mother. What caught my attention was this song . So every time I heard it on the radio I would ask my mother, what's the title of the song.? She would quickly reply in a gentle way "Ferry Across the Mersey" :-) This brought me back into my childhood days and great memories with my Mother who always like to sing. She's 87 now. Thank you Gerry Marsden for this wonderful captivating song !!! ♥

First of all, prettiest song ever written - it's a dreamlike, kind-hearted and eminently singable tune written by the lead singer, Gerry Marsden. And this gem of a video is a live performance, not lip-synced, with a killer piano part starting around 0:40 that takes the place of (and really improves upon) the flute part in the official recorded version.And that voice! No AutoTune here folks, just great singing straight into 1965 microphone technology.

True professionals, nearly always performing live on TV, unlike the Dave Clark Five.

Today is a historic day. I do not know for certain because I was not there, but way back in 1765, two years after the conclusion of the French and Indian War, known as the Seven-Year War across the pond, the British parliament needed some money because the War had been so costly. So they passed a Stamp Act. Which meant that every slip of paper such as used in trade and business would be subject to a tax. You stamp the paper for a fee. A tax. The effective date was November 1, 1765. This was not looked on particularly favorably by the colonists, especially since it only affected commerce here in the colonies, not back in England. This pissed off many tradesman up and down the East coast. And on November 14, 1765, it pissed off enough guys that they got together somewhere in the Massachusetts Colony and decided to protest the Stamp Tax to the local Viceroy or whatever the title was of the Englishman in charge of the colony. The local Viceroy apparently understood the protest very well. He did not want to disturb the trade of the Massachusetts colony which certainly kept the British merchants on the other side of the Atlantic rather busy. So this Viceroy got together with some other Viceroys and agreed to take the colonists' protest directly to the King of England. Now the King was sort of like Barack Obama, or perhaps Obama is like the King. The King loved to stick it to everyone and the Viceroys knew it. They had to devise a scheme whereby the King would be totally relaxed, in a good mood, perhaps filled with wine and brandy, so that he would sign the document that would repeal the Stamp Tax. And that is what happened. It was repealed the next year, in 1766. But this was the date that those outspoken colonists met to begin their protest. And how, you may ask, did the Viceroys bring the King to such a relaxed state of mind that he gleefully repealed the Stamp Tax? Well, I shall tell you. The event was memorialized in a song that was released in 1965, 200 years after the Stamp Act was enacted. And this song is on the chart, the supplemental supplemental chart. At # 3286 on the chart. From Gerry and the Pacemakers, they took the King on a "Ferry Cross the Mersey".

Great sound, when guitars sounded like guitars, not like the over digitised synthetic noise today. Big thumbs up to anyone who likes the natural sound of that beautiful 12 string rickenbacker in Gerry's hands!
