alt-J - House Of The Rising Sun (Tuka Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tuka]
You called me today, you told me you were gonna die
(Father, father, father)
What was I gonna say? Sorry, I don’t wanna lie
(My father, father, father)
You remind me of this old folk song that got passed around
You used to sing it
I bet the songs that you sang inside of that pub
Didn’t just pay for your dinner
Party like an animal
It was a party with the animals

[Verse 2: Tuka]
Sink a lot of liquor, kiss a lot of women
How many could you pick up? My money’s six
Sittin' pretty in the middle of a letter
Mum said you’re the reason I stutter
One day she got sick again, it hit her
You could have had it all
Instead, she had enough

[Chorus: alt-J]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor soul
And, Lord, my father's one

[Verse 3: Tuka]
With me and my sister, we had to leave behind mister
My mother was a high planes drifter, she said I could ride with her
We started again as a party of three with our heart on our sleeves
She asked for redemption, in need of a friend
He was charming I guess, but history repeats
Pardon the cliché, it was hard to believe
I can’t pretend like you, he was no father to me
Motherfucker was an animal
Wants to party with the animals

[Verse 4: Tuka]
Strum a guitar, in our house of the rising sun
You beat my mother in our madhouse of the rising sun
Drunk on Monday, was his father’s son
In the background singing, this is the song he sung

[Chorus: alt-J]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor soul
And, Lord, my father's one

[Spoken Outro]
[?], it was in me repertoire for quite a little while, oh, for years
And then I’ve gotta bring the how I could do it in such a way
With little finger picks on a twelve-string guitar, strung six strings
So, I had this huge guitar, really big guitar
With a big lot of noise in it
And I’d do "The House of the Rising Sun"
But you had to wait 'til you had enough drunks around
Can you understand that?
Like, you must have got, you wait until you've got enough drunks And you’d go, "Right" and sing "The House of the Rising Sun"
And they’d be singing away and carrying on
And throwing money in the box
It was a good on

Chillllls 💯

THANK YOU

is there a skippng sound goin on like the song has a scratch on it wtf

Nah it must be your device

This is a hip-hop version of a radical reinterpretation of a song that's been covered countless times, made famous by the Animals and later Bob Dylan, first recorded by an Appalachian folk band in 1928, who learned the song from their grandparents. Its authorship and date of origin are entirely unclear, but it seems to have evolved, one version to the next, from old folk ballads we wouldn't even recognize as the same song anymore.

ამ სევდას ცრემლები შველის?

არა.

ჰაი, არა

სევდა ყველაზე ადამიანური ემოციაა და ამავე დროს ყველაზე მეტად ეს ემოცია გზრდის... როდესაც სევდას დროებით ამარცხებ და რამოდენიმე ხნის შემდეგ ისევ უბრუნდები ახალ გზას ეძებ ,,გამოსაჯანმრთელებლად" და ამ სწორედ ამ გზებს მიყვავართ საკუთარ თავის აღმოჩენა/შეცნობამდე... საკუთარი თავის თანაგრძნობა სიძლიერეა, გადალახული ბარიერებით ვაღწევთ უმაღლეს საფეხურს, საიდანაც ჩვენს ძველ ,,მე-ს" გადმოვყურებთ და ისევ სევდით აღსავსენი ვამაყობთ საკუთარ თავზე გამარჯვებას... და ასე უსასრულოდ, დაუსრულებლად ავდივართ და ჩამოვდივართ ჩვენივე შექმილ საფეხურებზე... სევდას როგორ შველი?! საკუთარ თავს როგორ ერევი?!

BEST SONG ON ALBUM

Last minute of the song absolutely ruined by the nonsensical audio that goes on for way too long. Good job ruining your own song in a vain attempt to evoke more emotion from me

Matthew Lee or maybe it's just not your style, stop complaining about it
They made it so they must have felt something from it themselves

I thought it was Mike Shinoda at first

This is so fucking beaut

I have listened to this song intently at least 2 times a day for two weeks now. I can relate to Tuka's story. The chorus is so haunting, I could walk in the rain for hours.

Wow i passed out

Thanks Alt-J 🙌

It's AMAZING!

Amazing ♥️

Original still better but not as shit as other remixes lol

❤❤❤❤❤

If you haven't ideas about name of your new album so you always can change 2 letters in name previous album

Sorry for my бляd russian englisш

Why not, it’s just a remix album of Relaxer

@Marsplanet 182 really...

@D3Bill Привет 😄

Can I fucking stop getting emotional?

What the fuck happened to you guys? I appreciate my favourite artists exprimenting like anyone else. But this is NOT you guys. Legit, one of my favourite bands and all these new songs suck. Where's that trippy crazy vibe with the psycho lyrics thrown in? Like in cold blood is my absolute favourite song. I'm sorry I'm being so harsh. I was really excited for a new album and even begged my local alternative radio station to play you guys. I finally got them to get In cold blood to play on the radio. Then you all come out with this. What even...

Alastrine this song is beautiful!

La canción empieza en el minuto 0:00 . Denada :)

Ano mames gracias we me salvaste la vida

Это уже не Alt-J, к сожалению 😧

This song, these guys are incredible 💕

If you guys dig this, definitely look into more of Tuka’s stuff. Glad he is getting some big recognition

whats your favourite song?

Got a few man, Nirvana, L.D.T.E and My star

and thundamentals!

😍😍😍😍😍 alt j i love you

I love it! ❤️

This is sooooo bad OMG!!!!

Alt J is really good, but IT has nothing to do with the original and if they have tried to make a new modern version.....sorry but i don't like it! But nobody is perfect ;-)

Found this right before bed. Sad maybe but still an amazing thing to find right before some ZzZz's. Thank Alt, you did it again.

Sens nudes

Buenísima

Party like an enema

Thats pretty funny actually

This is a fucking masterpiece, fuck anyone who is mad at making a masterpiece

Luv ya! :3

Good stuff

In my country Tuka means "joint cigarrette butt"

In my country Tuka means fluke :)

In my country Tuka doesn't mean anything :(

the original song is 'Sun', but this version they've written about a father & his 'Son', so it's kinda both I guess
