This is one of those rare songs that makes you stop and listen to it.

I grew up in New York City and when we were kids we would take the ferry to Staten Island we cut out of school near my brother, it was an adventure as a young kid, and every time I cross I would think of Gerry and the Pacemakers, because when we were kids these people were singing songs to us that was just so positive and inspiring, when we were growing up we listen to everybody's music we didn't restrict ourselves and Gerry and the Pacemakers the song that they did Ferry cross the mersey oh, that really is the most incredible song that lasts with you for the rest of your life ride the Staten Island Ferry and play Gerry and the Pacemakers it was a while ago but we had some good qualities because we didn't isolate herself and one type of music we yearned and we heard the British came to New York City with the Beatles all this stuff this was excitement as a teenager even young kids oh, but this is a song and it will last with me for the rest of my life

I'm 60 and have always enjoyed this beautiful music since Day one. This by the way is real music. And for all you people out there reading this....Yes they did know the Beatles and Paul in fact was his friend.🎉

Great comment Jim and it's so true and I love all of those artists. I would just like to add one, Roy Orbison. I was out on a date with the sister of my friends girl friend. My friend drove about 15 miles to their house and then we separated. Later my friend picked me up in his car and told me that his girl friend told him, that she was dating his brother and she didn't want to see him anymore. We got on the road and there was a freezing rain storm and the roads were very slippery. Then Roy Orbison came on the radio singing the classic song ITS OVER and with my friend driving 50mph on frozen Michigan roads, because he was heart broken, I thought that it really was OVER ! luckily we made it home only spinning out a couple of times, but not hitting anything. I will always remember THAT NIGHT and THAT SONG. I'm 74 now and still remember all those good songs, but Especially Roy Orbison's ITS OVER !

I’m going to see Gerry’s Pacemakers on Liverpool’s theatre. I’m 78

I once heard Paul McCartney say he wished he had written that song. I understand why. The lyrics speak about accepting and loving one's life, and loving one's neighbor. But it does so in an understated way, which I believe makes it even more powerful. At the end where Gerry does the final, "Here I'll stay," the instrumental ending (with the great George Martin producing) is music that makes you visually think of a ship crossing the Mersey, doing what it is intended to do, and Gerry being at peace with his life. Since we all desire that, I think that's one reason the song continues to resonate so deeply.

I am 70. I love this song and I loved listening to this when I was a kid in high school. This is still so beautiful to me! 👍🏻😺

RIP Gerry Marsden, it’s impossible not to smile when you see him, he radiated warmth and goodness

This morning we sung this at my Grandad's funeral at his request.I'd never heard of these guys before but it seems fitting as he immigrated from Liverpool to New Zealand 70~ years ago. I had the chance to play it for him a few hours before he went. It's been on heavy rotation the last few days.

Jim Roberts it describes the people of Liverpool or better yet Merseyside very well.

Jody Wilke this song has nothing to do with the USA.

I heard this song when I was 13 years old in Malaysia. Now, living in Macau, walking tru You Tube, saw this page and decided to hear one of my favourite songs. Sad to know that he has gone. May God bless your soul.

Gerry & The Pacemakers were my favourite band ( above the Beatles). Gerry Marsden is a legend and will always be remembered which is a legacy we would like to have when we go, RIP Gerry.

Woke up with this song on my mind this morning. Must be true that in our later years we regress and remember our youth and simpler times.

So Sorry to hear of your passing. I remember Gerry and The Pacemakers on the ED Sullivan show in my teens back in the 1960s. What a beautiful voice and beautiful ballads. See you soon Gerry with guitar in hand.

It's a song about home. You dont have to live near the Mersey to get the song. Such a sweet, beautiful tune. :)

@@MThyne-oz2zu Agree it's about home. There is something special about Merseyside in the 60's but it captures something for us all. And as another sweet beautiful tune puts it, Home Is Where The Heart Is (Elvis Presley)...

@@deborahshah9536 Well said. The Mersey beat period was something special. But this song, and I don't know why, always moves my bladder closer to my eye :). Someday I'll make it to Liverpool and Manchester. See The Cavern and the old location of the Hacienda in the same trip. Take care!

Interestingly if you look at the billboard in the Pacemakers video you see the Searchers version of What Have They Done to the Rain? listed. Part of what we had in the 60s was an arms race and songs about fallout from nuclear testing. Some of us realized that at the time - the BBC banned Peter Watkins' War Game, for instance. At times nostalgia seems to gloss over some very evident realities.

Boy! he had a very distinctive and mellifluous voice.

Meine 73 Jahre geraten dabei fast in Vergessenheit. Danke

Music takes you back in a special way RIP gerry

I was born in Liverpool went across that river so much and love songs about Liverpool my sister worked at their club and got to meet all of them
