The lead singer, Eric Burdon is still alive and kicking and turns 83 this Saturday. A real cool dude.

[doreybain]

This song is a traditional folk song with many variations. This modern version was first done by Clarence Ashley in the mid 1930s. The Animals' version is the song is it's finest rendition by far. The superior vocals, the organ fills and rhythm mess perfectly. This came out in 1964 and I was eight years old. I had just started listening to pop music that year and this song blew me away. I heard it at least 200 times in my life and it still moves me. Every time. BTW, at 5:48 in your video, the guitar player starts to smile and it expands into a big sheepish grin. He had bumped his guitar neck on one of the prop pillars as he passed through and they had to go back and do another take. You can see him lift his guitar extra high when he passes through the opening on the second take.

This song is a cautionary tale. "Mother's tell your children not to do what I have done."

Love Eric Burdon & The Animals. They were part of the British Invasion along with The Beatles, Rolling Stones & others. People are always shocked that Eric has such a different unique deeper voice. The Animals had a lot of great hits in the 60's such as "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", "Baby Let Me Take You Home", "I'm Crying", "Boom Boom", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Bring It On Home to Me", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", "See See Rider", "Monterey", & "Sky Pilot". Eric later joined the funk rock band "War" & they had a few hits "Spill the Wine" & "Tobacco Road".

All bands during that period 1964-65 wore suits...it was a "thing." The Beatles and other British Bands started all that suit wearing thing and the Beatles particularly started the long hair.

Hi, can you imagine hearing this for the first time around 1964, it absolutely blew my mind at the time and must have listened to it a hundred times back then. Alan Price on the keyboard was phenomenal. It’s great to see you youngsters appreciating the music from this era.

[michaelbailey]

One take in the studio & no auto tune

[MartinGsl]

This version is from 1964, but its originally a traditional folk song written more than 100 years ago. It's written from the perspective of a girl, maybe that's why the lyrics are a bit confusing.

[olaspaz]

If you liked the 1960s organ sound you might like "Hush" by Deep Purple from 1968. Or "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (also 1968).❤️

[joet.]

It's played in a 6/8 time signature, which gives it an unusual feel.

[BrandonCuciurean]

One of my favourite songs of all time. The lead vocalist of this band has one of the most amazing voices. It fits this song perfectly

[bryankoziar]

That was an organ not a piano. Great song. Mid 60's british rock, they were part of the ''British Invasion'' so called because of the many bands coming to the US from England starting with the Beatles.

[azachman]

Great song. Great band. Biss also check out Eric Burdon with the band War, singing Spill the Wine and Low Rider.

[rondemery]

you were not even thought of when thi song was made. Bisscute you are Beautiful.

[iggystompbarnyard]

the bass player for the Animals would "discover" and become Jimi Hendrix's manager a couple years later.

[ricknbacker]

Recorded in one Live take on18 May 1964 and released 19 June 1964, House of the Rising Sun Hit #1 in Great Britain in July. 1964. Two months later it hit #1 in the United States. Staying there for 3 weeks. It has the distinction of being the first non-Lennon/McCartney song to reach #1 in the States during the first wave of the British Invasion sweeping America that Autumn of 1964. RNB

[DrStrangelove]

Not the original, but the best version. The song is more than a hundred years old, nobody knows who wrote it. Dylan covered it on his debut album, and the Animals heard that version and changed it into an electric, more rock version.

[kittensmakingcandles]

For me it's this profound hitting of message and messenger. Of sound and lyrics and delivery. Of being in this moment with this person (played by Eric Burdon) and them relating this epic hard lesson tale of pain and living and trap. And their hyper awareness of being in that mess and of knowing what their world before was, and reaching out as they drown to call out warning. And all that also being within this madhouse mix of instruments and melody as they race madly to portray the manic madness that lies behind the words and their emotion. And that manic madness itself being its own established institution. This House Of The Rising. Totally stable, in the uniform and calmness of the performers and this looming and consuming predatory place of the lyrics.

[vikingjohn]

This was from the 1960s the band is from my home city of Newcastle upon tyne in the UK

[paulgardner]

Bonjour. Thank you for putting this up. Favourite song ever. I've no doubt someone has explained this lyrics for you.
