Ferry Cross the Mersey, 1964
Written by Gerry Marsden
This song was produced by George Martin. It's a soft, slow ballad and a love letter to the loves shores of England, where people are accepting and smiling. Huh. I guess maybe it was different back then? "So ferry 'cross the Mersey / Cause this land's the place I love / And here I'll stay." It's more than a bit corny, but the shimmering strings and woodwinds, no doubt arranged by Martin, give it a sweet and tender vibe.
