Thank You for Your reaction! 🙏🏻❤️ Erik is MASTERCLASS! 🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟🙌🏻🙌🏻 Sings with passion and a very wide range. This version is the best! 👌🏻 Erik really tells the story and lets the listener take everything in. Builds it up. The crescendo like a cry. Then he softens towards the end of the song. The listener can reflect. It almost sounds like a funeral then with the organ in the background. Jona plays superbly! Together Erik and Jona: Dream team! ❤️❤️❤️ Greetings from Sweden! 👋🏻🇸🇪

Erik is truly amazing he won Swedens got talent thing singing a skid row cover. He was later asked to become Skid Rows lead singer which he did and was new life to the great hits. They even made new music and videos, they were great too. He had to leave though because he was in remission from leukemia, although and the lifestyle involved in being on the road was not conducive to his ongoing recovery s d medication. He lived in Sweden and his wife and son were still there. So he put health first and went back to Sweden.

The Beatles, Nina Simone, Tangerine Dream, Leadbelly, The Supremes, Tracy Chapman, Dolly Parton, Kult, Sinead O’Conner, Jimi Hendrix, Toto and Muse all have one thing in common: they’ve released a cover of the folk-blues tune “The House of the Rising Sun.” As one of the most covered songs of all time, the track serves as an exemplar of the folk tradition-music that is passed down through hearing and playing, not formal tablature. The song’s lyrics craft a gothic narrative of some southern haunt, sometimes a brothel, other times an opium den, but most consistently a place where our protagonist is lured and can never quite muster the will to leave, thus beginning the narrator’s fall from grace. Evidently, there’s something beguiling to the human psyche about this precipice, this place of no return, that has allowed “The House of the Rising Sun’’ some indelible plot in our Musical Imagination. As this column will explore myriad iterations and interpretations of the tune over its five weeks, let’s start at the beginning, somewhere in the hills of Appalachia at the dawn of the twentieth century. To specify the origins of a folk song is somewhat untenable; “The House of the Rising Sun” was first recorded under the name “Rising Sun Blues” in 1933 by prominent folk artist Clarence Ashley but, according to Ashley and the eminent folk historian Alan Lomax’s field records, versions of the tune had been played across Appalachia for many generations prior. Idiomatic of the folk tradition, Ashley himself learned the tune from his grandfather. This first recorded iteration is spare; Doc Watson’s fingerpicking sets a stripped-down instrumental setting for Ashley’s croon. Before the famous arpeggiated A minor chord, before any elaborate hedonist allusions and before a slipstream of authorial prerogative took hold, our introduction to the fabled House, said to be nestled in some forgotten corner of the French Quarter, cautions young men of sirens perched on the house’s looming balcony and the woes of alcoholism (note that the pronouns used in this version, this male-directed warning, will quickly change in the proceeding popular recordings). As the foundation of our query, Ashley’s “Rising Sun Blues” is conspicuously sanitized-the narrative is cogent; the chord tones are largely major; Ashley’s voice precautions but doesn’t despair. These humble beginnings portend some kernel of unforgettable intrigue lying in these lyrics that will eventually launch the song into ubiquity. Our quest is to reveal what constitutes this enchantment by examining how the song has flexed and formed to the wiles of such vastly different musicians over the decades.

You should listen to Erik Grönwall sing Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You, it's the best cover I heard since Whitney Huston did her cover. You should even look/listen to him sing Mariah Carey's Without You, John Farnham's You're the voice, Eric Carmen's (Celine Dion) All by myself, Oh Holy Night and House of the rising sun, they are also truly amazing! In 2009, Erik won Swedish Idol and performed the specially written song Higher in the final. On March 23, 2022, it was announced by Eddie Trunk that Grönwall is replacing ZP Theart as the lead singer of Skid Row. In March 2024, Erik announced that he was leaving Skid Row for health reasons after being diagnosed with leukemia. His first single, "Higher", reached gold on digital downloads after only three days. His debut album, self-titled Erik Grönwall, was released just ten days after the finals and debuted at number one on the Swedish albums chart and was certified platinum. Both as a solo artist and band member, Grönwall has numerous top 40 hits.

Another really great version of this song is Bob Dylans acoustic version (1962) with some differences in the lyrics: This was before the Animals did the song popular (there are several stories and, maybe, myths about that). If it was Dylan that changed the lyrics I must say that he was decades ahead of his time!!! It´s a pitty that many of his early songs have been forgotten. By the way, Grönvalls version is also very good! (search for "Dylan house of the rising sun official audio")

And at the end you ask us to follow your channel, you can do that when the song is over. Maybe it's time to put yourself behind the camera and let the girl react herself because she seems to actually be listening to text and music.
