alt-J - House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

That cover reminds me of a game on the ps3 that was full of a guy's weird dreams

Dos sky roads

there is... Bm, G, D, F#, G.
my mother... F#, E, G,
keep my gambling... Bm, G, D, F#, G
it's a happy... Bm, F#, D, G

the rest is self explaining. you're welcome!
ps. I achieve the muffled sound via using only my thumb (with skin not nail)

They kept the vox organ, and goddamn, I like how it's quite well interpreted

LSD Dream Emulator album cover? :o

orgasmic.

This isn't a cover of anyone really. House of the Rising Sun is a folk song. That's be like saying someone did a cover I've been working on the railroad or happy birthday

At 3:55 to 4:03 it sound so familiar but what is it from

This version sucks :(

Rubbish.

The best part about this is that it only borrows from the Animals' original classic and doesn't just rework it.

i'm so much more like a philosopher when i hear them

Breaks my heart every time.

it's so beautiful in this simple way..without singing high and loud. it's more pure. more meaningful. thank you:)

It’s been to long we all need more music

The intro reminds me of a startup screen of a retrogame and that cover makes it even better

I love how eerie this sounds
Dont care that people kind of hate this song

Completely lush and completely different than what I was expecting. Two wins for one song.

I’ve been trying to find this version for days

I haven't heard this in months but man....... this is incredible. The entire album relaxer is, but this and 3WW are just..... special

Une chanson, l'addition vous êtes géniaux, je ne savais pas qu'alt-j l'avait reprise , <3

This was fucking dreadful

On the contrary, it is very subtle and very beautiful.

my way to this video: watching a video about LSD Dream Emulator -> searched on ebay for LSD Dream Emulator -> seen a product called "Alt-J - Relaxer, 1 Audio-CD" with a screenshot of LSD DREAM Simulator on the cover -> searched for "Alt-J - Relaxer, 1 Audio-CD" on youtube -> clicked on the video.... any1 got the same way?

If u search "alt j album" u will find all of the unlisted relaxer videos in some dude's playlist

The closer to my stories soundtrack

I'm in the confusing state of mind where I'm not sure whether I am happy or highly emotional

like si estas estudiando y escuchando alt-J

donde puedo dejar constancia de que no solo me gusta, me encanta

Finals for 2018 and we still rather listen to this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🔥 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🔥 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🔥

Do you know the feeling when you're listening to music, get excited and accidentally start crying?

This feels like the kind of music you listen to while taking a life-changing decision. There's something cathartic about it.

so the mother is cheating and she wants her husband to keep staying out and drinking

One of my favorite albums. Also LSD is one of my favorite games ever this is such an awesome album cover.

Many a poor what?

Amo su música😘😘😘

I came back here because the new alt j album gave me stroke

lovely textures

This is the fischer price version of the animals house of the rising sun

My photography teacher always has this playing in class and this is the first time ive listened to it solo. So deep and amazing. Thanks Ms. W...

Ohh this has so much presence when your on painkillers

i hve a strange feeling; i'm missing a time that i never really had

This is terrible compared to original

CRSwift What original? It’s a tradition song. I love this.

This album influenced me in the writing of my new book. The Demonic Virtue... Mainly your new album and Bleezeblocks, but I listened to nothing but Alt-J and one song by Led Zeppellin (Ten Years Gone) while writing this 400 page book a

In love with your songs, all your songs... It's so clear, pleasant, smart and creative. I never ever get bored, amazing guys!

Total Crap

como amo vcsssss aaaaaa

This song broke my heart.

I expected more. I've listened to his other stuff,production and originality are pretty good but this sounds rushed. it doesn't sound like a complete idea, more like a studio demo.

the musical theme reminds me of Sting's Ghost Story theme.

Sorry but I don't care for this as much as any of the other offerings...

Thanks to Jako from "Fewjar" for the Review at "Sorgenschall" here at YouTube

Oh my god this is such a dull album. The ad that played before this song was more captivating than this limp half assed cover

rainesages Well there you have it. Many others would disagree entirely.

I am old enough to remember when the animals' version appeared and was a huge hit. Eric Burdon's voice owned the song. I have only recently discovered al;-j, and this cover is so packed with novelty it has confirmed my impression that they are the most original band I have heard in a long time. The new melody, close to but not identical to the older ones, and trhe very clever largely new lyrics make this a very distinctive song in its own right. It is not a cover really, but an update that stands alone. It should have been released as a single.

When you have a chemistry final tomorrow, but you spend the whole night listening to alt-j instead.....

You guys. You even wrote the dreamcatcher? In cold blood. I say we do have a blood drive. Macaroni.🎼☺🐫come on thunder.

This is the greatest song to ever bless my ears. I want to bathe in it and die.

I just fell in deeper love with you all ∆

Completely changed the vibe of this song, in the best way possible.

Vivo por esto.

Alt j never fails to surprise me

Relaxer released in spring or summer 2017, but I started listening to it arround christmas time, because I wanted to take my time for it and think over the lyrics etc. Now, everytime when I hear this song, I have to think of dark nights, lights and snow and I feel the inner rest of winter, even though I am still listening to it spring 2018. It is magical!

While this is certainly amazing, could it really even be considered a cover? The only kept the lyrics, but changed literally everything else.

Coconut Head yes

It’s not a cover. It’s based on a traditional song.

Garbage don’t do that to a beautiful song

I’m dealing with a breakup... I obviously turned to music to cope, this is the first band I turned to. This music is great for whatever mood you are in, Alt-J, you are a savior.

arruinaron un temazo, culiados

best music I've heard in a long time...stopped listening to radio years ago

Boys you are fucking amazing! Well done lads this is everythinggggg

So beautifull cover of the original song

Back to the Zelda days aahha

This is the only version of this song I have ever liked. All the rest make me cringe.

1:34 is when the song actually starts btw ;))

I'M SHOOK

Thanks for this gift Armie Hammer.

Armie Hammer brought me here.

You guys are literally wonderful. How come you have two concerts in Northern California bay area but none in LA and southern California?!

Armie Hammer brought me here

shoutout armie

From Armie hammer’s tweet lol

Finally an original cover of "The House of the Rising Sun", and not just another one copy with adding 2/3 things, here we've got all the song that's been appropriated by alt-J, and which is even more wonderful than the original

This song should never be covered but here it is covered by fuckin one of the most pretentious artists out and five finger death punch

hip hop police state You’re talking a song based on a centuries old folk song. Who are you comparing this to? They’re all ‘covers’.

This is what pink floyd would've sounded like had syd stayed. Amazing, but with a good grounding from gilmour.

Not even close. Are you serious? This comment made me go listen to Interstellar Overdrive and No Good Trying just to reinforce how wrong you were. Sorry for being negative, but, goddamn, no. Colours Running Out by Toy might be what you're looking for.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
And lord, my father is the one

My mother, she's a tailor
She sews those blue blue jeans
Keep my gambling father drunk
Deep down in New Orleans

It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

Like a bird flying over forest fire
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
And in debt he yields for another tower
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks

My mother hides from pleasure
Sees the father on her knees
Left it in the arms of God
Away from New Orleans

Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

This is pure love!

im sorry but this is pure unadulearated shit

Jules Darcy Go somewhere else then. I adore it. So do many others.

No. Just. No

I feel as if this song musically captures the dread that the original song created but didn’t show.

It’s different because is focuses on the lyrics of the original and musically generates the pain in the original

Trying really hard to understand why so many are digging this. Seriously, was open minded enough to listen a couple times, thinking I'm missing something. Final assessment...it's a travesty, 2nd rate piece of crap. Taking an iconic song and turning into something different works in some cases (ie, Johnny Cash took Reznor's song to a new level). But this? This is an utter piece of crap.

holy shit , his music is magic

Some of his adlibs make him sound like Lana del Rey! which sounds awesome

Just one of the best songs on what I believe is the best album I've heard in 2017.

The original is by far way better then this piece of crap. This is exactly what vanilla ice got alot of crap from everybody. So screw you all. Yuck yuck yuck ugh. Crap!!

thomas Wise Were you around in the 17th century then? You must be pretty old.

You must of been born slow. Do you even know who Vanilla Ice is. Old enough to know ny first tablet was an etch a sketch. All these guys are doing is copying another person's song. Tells me that they play there own songs. All i hear is maybe just maybe a replaced verse here and there. Im young so lets just copy song and maybe our followers will have never heard the original. Duh...

I want people to play this at my funeral

I don't know why but the start and some parts remind me of "Space Oddity" by Bowie

Alguien que hable español ?

I love Alt-J, but I'm not too thrilled with this cover. Sorry, but Five Finger Death Punch did it so much better. Can't get over Ghost's voice in their cover...

Mikaela Pederson Well that’s a completely different genre of music. Of course this isn’t a cover as such. The song is traditional. The Animals bought it to the public’s attention more than any other . I adore alt-Js version. So soothing.

naweboná marico esto es una obra maestra

Love alt-j, loved the cover.
