A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZbin. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZbin I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZbin won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZbin channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

Eric Burdon’s facial expression is perfect for the song. I am always unpleasantly surprised when people expect him to smile in this vid. He is nothing short of superb.

[@cheampeake1680]

Mothers and the House of the Rising Sun. In 1964 I was in a band and we were practicing in my parents garage. We were working on this song as it was so popular then. My mom (me mum) came and listened and said she really like the song. We said, ya, we just wrote it. She was impressed and went into the house. 10 minutes later she comes out and says (with a big grin on her face) You guys lied to me. I just heard that song on the radio. Busted.

I always interpreted the "to wear that ball and chain" line to mean he's helpless against his addiction and has to go back more than a literal "in prison" ball and chain

[@thunderheads4103]

@@gregcarter9680 exactly, the ball and chain is that you can't get out of the lifestyle. As far as the smile, he knows it's a sinful life but any time at a "house of ill repute" is a good time. Drinking, gambling, drugs, prostitution, it all makes a man feel alive for a moment. Makes him feel empty for the rest of the day, until the "sun rises again" and it starts over for another good time.

[@yourmom9758]

[@bluetopguitar1104]

It is a somber song, like a warning. Eric Burdon had an amazing voice. Very soulful indeed. I remember seeing this on tv, probably the ed Sullivan show when I was a kid. By the way, the guy playing bass later promoted Jimi Hendrix and took him to England. First rock song I learned on guitar.

[@eugenb.8448]

Bluetop Guitar I saw him live a few years ago. He still has it. He sang this and a lot of his other hits. If you closed your eyes you would never guess he wasn't still in his 20s. My kids who were in their twenties at the time could not believe how good he sounded.

The Animals were on the chuck Berry tour- the people's reaction to the song was crazy-they knew they had to record it ASAP-so they took a train to london -with their equipment -went to the studio at 8:30 am -took a short run thru the song--- so the engineer could set the recording levels-- they played and recorded it in one take -got back on the train and went back to the tour and the rest is history

[@peterblood50]

I like your moms' honest reaction. It's a sad story of a life wasted in the same manner his fathers life had been wasted, in gambling and 'other' unseemly behavior. The somber tone of their faces reflected the somber tone of the song. Good honest reaction. I would suggest either "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" or "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" For a great Eric Burton song try "Spill the Wine" which has the group 'War' as the band covering the music.

[@clipsedrag13]

Dont let me be misunderstood isnt as timeless. I just tried again and its a boring listen if not attached to nostalgia

[@LordDiamonds]

Spill the wine is definatly a must listen, Eric really shows off his talent in that song.

[@Fouremyleofceres]

Loved Spilled The Wine. Tied into the LOTR shit that was going on and also hit the hippy movement. It is a great video. Psychedelic and shit. The vid didn't age that well, cause it was nothing but white executives making a vid that they thought the kids would like. However, i can listen to War 24/7

Eric Burdon, it was said by Rolling Stone magazine, had a voice at 24 that sounded like he'd spent 40 years drinking in a smoke filled bar. Amazing singer and version of this song which was first recorded in 1922. Of course the lyrics affect singers, it is, you're right, absolutely the lyrics. It's a sad song. I always thought it was weird that anybody smiled while playing this song LOL.

Old Pete Seeger song. I first learned this on my guitar back in he early 70s. It is from the late 1800s. It is about a brothel. The original song was sung in the female." It has been the ruin of many a poor girl, and Lord I know I'm one." Since it is Pete Seeger it is likely from the 1800s originally at least. I am now 60 and I learned the Pete Seeger songs from my dad.

[@Sp33gan]

Seeger did a great version of the song but The Animals picked it up from a Lead Belly recording. Most UK groups got their start playing Skiffle, their version of American Folk music. The main star of the Skiffle movement was Lonnie Donegan, who mined the Lead Belly catalogue deeply.

Not smiling was a "thing" for the British invasion groups in the latter part of the 60's. It was considered cool to appear unimpressed with anything. The Beatles were the first British invasion group to smile on stage. Some groups picked up smiling, while performing, after that and some never did.

[@RedYoungOne]

I played keyboards with Eric Burdon in 1982, played his 60th birtday in LA in 2001 and rejoined him 2006-2016 and recorded and did many shows with him over the years. Never saw him do a bad show or do the same thing twice. He grew up listening to Ray Charles and John Lee Hooker and approached his vocal style that way. Met all the guys in the group John Steel/drums, Hilton Valentine/guitar. Chas Chandler/bass, Alan Price/organ and of course Eric. They were all friends with Jimi Hendrix as they opened for Little Richard on a tour of England in the 60s and Jimi was playing with Little Richard. Chas managed and produced Jimi's albums. And Eric put together another group - Eric Burdon & War. Many stories I know from my years with Eric too. I'll put them in my book...

And this young man was really young. Such a voice for a 20 something. They are good

[@jrlaz0001]

Brilliant! This song is canon. This version is a modern adaptation of an English folk song hundreds of years old. The song is a warning call of a life wasted in addiction which will bring nothing but "sin and misery". The singer describes his mother, the tailor, and father, the gambling man and addict. Who's steps the singer follows. The House of the Rising Sun is most likely a brothel (really any trap house) but thats not the point of the song. The point is the effects of cyclical, generational, addiction and its destruction on the family and ultimately yourself, when he sings "And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God, I know I'm one. Best of luck!

I'm Chinese-American, parents were immigrants here from HK, and I grew up in the '80s hearing them listening to music like this. Though they tended to both prefer the Beatles, and that hippy folk type of music (Simon & Garfunkel, Carpenters, Joni Mitchell, an' on and on), they got into singing early karaoke, on now-vanished laserdiscs, and I learned to sing this first when I was like.. 14. I tended to like early-20th century jazz and blues growing up, to what little extent I liked music at all. And while this song was an old folk song, this is the most popular rendition of it, and probably the longest lasting. Nowadays I'm still generally most into '80s music, but it's only these years/decades later that I realized how much I took for granted.. just how good a lot of the vocalists from the '60s and '70s were: Karen Carpenter, the Righteous Brothers, this guy from the Animals, and.. just how RICH all these genres of music were from the mid-20th century, vocally, culturally..

Just as a little bit of added info, the bass player here with the Animals is Chas Chandler who on the animals last tour of America found a young guitarist playing in a cafe in Greenwich Village. The guitarist was using the name Jimmy James. Chandler convinced him to move to London and let him oversee the young mans career. Soon after arriving back in London Chandler convinced him to use his real name instead of the stage name. the kid's real name? Jimi Hendrix! chandler masterminded the whole of Hendrix's career from there on, recruiting the 'Experience' for him and even coming up with the idea of setting his guitar on fire to close big shows.

Someone said it well below. This is an old folk/blues song about being a slave to one's vices, but also being unable to break the tragic cycles that he inherited through no choice of his own. I actually think that, originally, this was written from a woman's perspective and the House she is returning to is a brothel. Edit...also my answer is yes, id like to see the two of you do more reactions.

People tend to forget about Eric Burdon and his groups, The Animals and War. He also collaborated with Ringo Starr, and was an actor.

The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. "The House Of The Rising Sun" was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors.

Eric Burden said the song is old. Other bands in the early sixties in the UK performed it on stage. The group loved it and Eric changed a few verses and added some of his own. I heard recently Bob Dylan heard it on the radio and pulled over and was taken so much by it he decided to go from acoustic to electric guitar and was badly received on stage at the New Port folk festival a few months later.

From the website, AmericanBluesScene: "if a fabled Rising Sun ever did exist in New Orleans, currently the most likely location to claim the honor is located on 535-537 Conti Street in the famous French Quarter, where evidence of a hotel named 'Rising Sun' was found. Excavators discovered unusual amounts of makeup containers and liquor bottles, and a newspaper ad stating that the hotel was open to “discerning gentlemen”, which could have possibly alluded to (the brothel's activity). Rising Sun is thought to have operated from 1808-1822, when it burned." Because of the way it was used in "Easy Rider", I always thought the song was about regret for the sin and shame of becoming a regular, addicted, guest at the brothel. They don't have anything to smile about if that interpretation is accurate.

I really like your MOM..... She's great!

[@ddiamondr1]

If your lovely Mom grew up with gospel, The Beatles "Let It Be"....and Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Water" AND Queen Live at Montreal "Somebody to Love." I am certain she would love all three. Thanks!

The original "House of the Risin' Sun" was about a "Cat house" in NOLA. This version made it about a man going to prison (going back to wear that ball and chain).

The Animals straight out of the British Invasion with the amazing Eric Burdon! Check out the other Amazing Animals songs We Gotta Get Outta This Place and so many other classics. Also Eric's work with the band War.

And a note: The Beatles had over 40 successive number 1 singles & this song (House of the Rising Sun) knocked them off the charts & took over number 1.

The band was told to keep the tone somber for the show. Remember that this is not a music video, this was a performance on a variety show. That's why they are so reserved and wearing suits. And some of the smiles and movements were their way of screwing with management. If you can find live footage you will see a whole different show.

I called B:S... if mamma never heard this, she didn't have a radio

[@darcisavelli546]

If she didn’t listen to this kind of music she would not have heard it.

Originally a traditional folk song, “The House of the Rising Sun”, also known as “Rising Sun Blues”, tells of life in New Orleans, back in the day when poverty was the fate of many people.

The bass player, Chas Chandler, is the guy who later discovered Jimi Hendrix
