368 – Gerry and The Pacemakers – It’s gonna be all right (1964)

Lançada por Gerry and The Pacemakers em 1964, chegou ao número 23 nos Estados Unidos, 24 na Inglaterra e 36 na Australia. Foi escrita por Gerry Marsden pro filme que estavam fazendo chamado Ferry Cross the Mersey. Tem uma caracteristica de folk-rock. A letra dela pode ser trivial, mas o ritmo era contagioso, com um riff de violão e um refrao que pegava, bem parecido com as músicas que os Beatles estavam fazendo na época. 

Não teve muito sucesso comercial, mas pode ser considerada um exemplo claro da chamada Merseybeat. Simon e Garfunkel prestaram sua homenagem à essa música pegando emprestado o riff dela pra colocar em Ricahrd Cory, de 1966. 

A letra:

It's gonna be all right
All right, all right
It's gonna be all right

The day you came my way
I knew I would stay
Close by your side
To keep you satisfied

It's gonna be all right
All right, all right
It's gonna be all right

When you look at me
In your eyes, I can see
The love that grows each day
That's why I've gotta say

It's gonna be all right
All right, all right
It's gonna be all right

Never thought I'd find a girl like you
Now I have, I know I'll never be blue

It's gonna be all right
All right, all right
It's gonna be all right

Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
And now you're here to stay
You'll always hear me say

It's gonna be all right
All right, all right
It's gonna be all right

Never thought I'd find a girl like you
Now I have, I know I'll never be blue

It's gonna be all right
All right, all right
It's gonna be all right

Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
And now you're here to stay
You'll always hear me say

It's gonna be all right
All right, all right
It's gonna be all right

It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
