Ferry good music

Does anyone else experience amazing connections between radio music and riding on the ferry. 

On a wild and stormy morning last year the early morning crossing was to the “Entry of the Gods to Valhalla”, with our docking synchronizing almost perfectly with the dramatic final chords. On a lovely flat calm, perfect summers morning “Morning Has Broken”.  Yesterday afternoon I came home to the Seekers singing “On the Other Side”. Today we had serene clarinet floating above exultant voices of Ennio Morricone’s music from The Mission.  

Of course there is “Ferry ‘Cross the Mersey” by the Beatles  more than once.
