YOU`LL NEVER WALK ALONE
Written by Rogers and Hammerstein
for the 1945 Broadway musical 'Carousel',
Gerry Marsden andhis Pacemakers performed
the song in Liverpool clubs during the
birth of Merseybeat. "The audience would
just stop, stand and listen. It had this immediate
effect," says Marsden. Released in October 1963,
YNWA was the Pacemakers' third consecutive
number one and nowhere was it more
popular than on the Kop, as fans sang along
with the PA before matches. When it fell from the
top spot, Kopites continued to sing it and YNWA has
been played and sung at Anfield ever since.
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone |
