From what I saw on an interview with the lead singer many years ago the song is about a boy who grows up in a brothel, and is subjected to seeing the worst in life and subsequently doesn't do much with his own life. Pretty crazy to think how old this song is now and yet it's still just as powerful and relevant today. Cool choice girls, thanks as always. :)

Arh Manna you got it right, you know this song well. House of the rising sun means by the french a brothel, its good to see someone else who know the true meaning behind this song. Definitely checkout my responses to it. House of the rising sun is definitely not a prison, and ball & chain is. Just a way of saying the emotional suffering he experienced as a child is still with him as an adult. A lot of metaphors in this song that's for sure which makes me love it even more. 😎👍👍

YES, it's nearly 2 centuries old, and some say it was originally a poem, but the lyrics changed over the years to suit social tastes and tollerance. Many famous people had ecorded this before, like Bob Dylan, who heard the Animals recording on his car radio, and was so impressed, had to pull over and listen to it.

The House of the Rising Sun according to the song is a gambling house (and possibly a brothel). He's going back to New Orleans "to wear that ball and chain" because he is trapped in that lifestyle. It has become a metaphorical prison for him but not a literal one.

Eric Burdon is one of the best belters to come out of England during the British Invasion, or any other time for that matter. The man's voice is unbelievably powerful, and as good as this video is, it doesn't do it justice. I had the pleasure of meeting Eric in 1990 (quite by accident) and I told him the same: that I always thought he was one of the best, most intense vocalists to come out of England. He laughed and asked me how a kid so young would even know who he is. I said, "Cool parents who brought me up on great music." He was a super-nice guy with absolutely no ego about him, and I'm glad he still walks among us today. He's also "the eggman" in The Beatles' "I Am The Walrus." Look it up. :)

I keep both versions on my play list, and love to play both of them for my friends & family from time to time. Many ppl think House of the rising sun is a song about a poor boys upbringing & it is. But what a lot of ppl don't know, is down in New Orleans, a house of ill repute or one that's in the red light district, is called by the french a house of the rising sun. There's a lot of metaphors in this song. When Eric Burdon sings that his mother was a tailor, is one way to say she was a Madam or a prostitute, that worked in a house of the rising sun. As for wearing a ball & chain is just another way of saying the shame he felt as a kid still lingers within himself. If you research this song you'll find many versions and more explanations of what the song is about. After I did I found that I love it even more. As for both version mentioned here, I have pick the Animals version as the best, and that's just for the classic sound the Animals gave it.

Definitely one of my all time favorite classic songs that Eric Burdon, & the animals, have done. Although I believe when he go's back to New Orleans to wear that ball & chain he's singing about the emotional feeling he felt & still feels growing up in poverty at the hands of his gambling father who was also a drunk, while his mother thought to work as a madam who lives in sin & misery in a house of the rising sun, sewed his new blue jeans meaning that his mother just mended his old ones. FYI In the French Quarter of New Orleans, A house of the Rising Sun means a house of ill repute. Definitely not a prison. Another Band who does this song good is a band called Frigid Pink ...check it out!

The guitarist is smiling at the end because he hit his guitar on the fake pillar when he passed by it. They quickly did a second take from that point and you can see him raise his guitar extra high when he passes by the pillar. This was a wonderful staging of a great song. The song inspired Bob Dylan to go electric. The song still haunts me every time I listen to it and I've been listening to it since September 1964.

This song goes back at least to the 30's, and that's just the recorded versions. Some musical historians think it goes back to England hundreds of years before that. The "house" is usually considered a gambling den or a house of prostitution (there are versions sung by women). You are definitely right that if refers to someone being ruined by experience, and encouraging others not to follow his fate.

This iconic recording by The Animals from 1964 definitely brought this song its greatest most widespread fame. However, it is an old American folk song possibly going back over 100 years. This is one of the best reactions I've seen by Las Hermanas - some very insightful comments from both Mia and Juliet. The Animals didn't last long as a band but still left some very good songs behind. Eric Burden went on to continuing success on his own and as a front man for other bands, especially the band War which he founded. He may still be going 57 years after this introduction to the world! I saw him doing some TV work a few years ago and his great bluesy r&b voice was still strong into his 70's.

An he is saying his dad was a gambler and some others are gamblers to, also he learned it from his dad. The ball and chain is a metaphor saying he’s hooked on gambling and he won’t leave the casino. Also he won’t be leaving the casino till after sun rises. Hence the “House of the rising sun”.

This was a UK and US number one in 1964 The animals were one of many bands just below the Beatles and The Rolling Stones The story goes that it was recorded in less than an hour for a cost in modern money of about £10 or $12! The song has a long and complicated history which is well written up on Wikipedia in a very interesting account part of which I enclose “Lomax also noted that "Rising Sun" was the name of a bawdy house in two traditional English songs, and a name for English pubs,[8] and proposed that the location of the house was then relocated from England to the US by White Southern performers.[8] In 1953, Lomax met Harry Cox, an English farm labourer known for his impressive folk song repertoire, who knew a song called "She was a Rum One" (Roud 2128) with two possible opening verses, one beginning……. “

So many of the songs which came to American youth via the Brittish invasion, had their origins in the southern U.S., many in the blues-rich Mississippi Delta region. In 1964, The Animals recorded House Of The Rising Sun in one take while on tour with Chuck Berry. Bob Dylan had released his version of the song in 1962. WOODY Guthrie had recorded it years prior. So we have a band of British Invaders recording a trad folk song naming a house of ill-repute in New Orleans. Louisiana. And apparently, the song had been around, here, since the 1800's. It's actual origins, however, sail us back across the Atlantic to England, Ireland, or even France. A close resemblance is noted to The Unfortunate Rake from the 16th century. So there's a bit about this song's origins.

The instruments (at least guitars and bass) are not live.

I believe the entire performance is a lip synch, but that was routine during this era when rock bands appeared on television. It is certainly possible that Burdon sang live over the recorded instrumental tracks. Regardless, an iconic record that thrust them to stardom as one of the top bands that came to America as part of the Beatles-led "British Invasion".

My late Maternal Grandfather Leslie John Robertson (1928-2021) could play this song by-ear. Couldn't read music but had a phenomenal ear. A victim lost to the Lethal Coronavirus Pandemic on January 21st 2021; aged 92.

It's about addiction. It is an American folk song from around the time of the civil war so it could very well be about opium addiction. The House of the Rising Sun could be an opium den. To wear that ball and chain. Laudanum was the most powerful pain killer at the time, which is made from opium, and was widely used in the civil war.
