Bob Dylan - House of the Risin' Sun (Official Audio) 

He released the above song in 1962, so he's been around for a while.

@@consumerwarrior1267 that's the joke

He should win a prize or something, he has future.

you bet !!!!!!

@James So noted.

he sounds like garabage

@@KingMinosxxvi u mad or nah

@@igottson77 Is that English?

@@KingMinosxxvi is it?

@@igottson77 whatever language it is i dont know what the f it means

He absolutely shit the bed with the vocals on this as he does with every song I've ever heard from him. He can write a song with the best of them and play instruments great, but he sounds like a cat whose tail got ran over by a bicycle with glass in the tires. You would be proving their point dead right if you showed them this in an effort to prove he was a good singer 🤣

I‘m one who has said he can‘t sing & should stick to song writing, but this was a virtuoso performance & I‘m converted! I like how he mixes the lyrics from several versions & really emotes the misery of it all. 👍👍😄

His voice is like the worst. I’m not saying he doesn’t have something but it’s not a good voice. He sold his soul, hence the fame. Check out an interview he did on Utube about that very subject.

He can’t sing

@@ewan1235I’m ashamed that a fellow spurs fan could have such a terrible opinion

He still can't sing. ;))

Actually, Bob's version is an arrangement by Dave Van Ronk who, for whatever reason, did not record it himself until 3 & 5 years, respectively, after The Animals & Bob Dylan did.

This song was written in th perspective it with the girl working there..and yes he still can't sing.. ;))

gtrgod lou yet he has been the inspiration of many influential musicians.

@@olensoifer9901 I'm glad someone else knows this.

I laughed my tits off :D

Smoking do that to his voice

SellMe YourSoul I WHEEZED

Because he is an American troubadour. Thy bard, my friend.

SellMe YourSoul ok boomer

No doubt! 🔥

Shane's Book Corner i'm SO GLAD there are intelligent people to say things that i feel but can't express. THANK YOU

This is probably one of the best covers of this song but unfortunately Bob Dylan stole the guitar arrangements from another folk singer, so that's not cool

@@maxv0085 Lol, it's a cover buddy.. Everything is stolen, who cares.

@@greyk610 nevertheless integrity is nice.

ThatDamnScottishGuy exactly!

@ThatDamnScottishGuy if you remove the word your I feel like it flows better.

There is even a French version where it's a guy seing this place as a prison Just search Les portes du pénitencier I'm not a huge fan of the translation and the changement they made but it's not bad

It's like the case of "Haus im Neu Berlin" from Wolfenstein, one of the best adaptations of this song.

@Modern Savage25 I wouldn't say it becomes flat just because it could be any other place. its still a sad song about a man who cant control himself. his dad was an asshole and now he is, he wastes his all his time and money at the house of the rising sun. he hates the way that he is, but he really cant help himself. and he keeps coming back. honestly i would watch a short film on the different perspectives of this song if somebody made one.

Did the Animals cover this song?

@@clareozcbear2640 Honestly I don't know, I've checked here now en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun

​@@clareozcbear2640 it's an old folk song, there are some recorded versions in the first half of the 20th century as well

Oh un italiano

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️

I know right...but it even shocked me more when I came to know that this song is originally written by Dave Von Ronk.... but i just love Bob's voice here

Bob Dylan's - A woman who works at the Rising Sun. The Animal's - A boy who's father frequented the Rising Sun. Johnny Cash's - An old man who's thinking back on his time at the Rising Sun. Five Finger Death Punch - The creation of a new world.

@@mrunalvora209 - this song has been around a lot longer than Dave Von Ronk's version, Ledbelly, woody guthrie also recorded it but its even older than those 1940's recordings.

dave van ronk created a version of this song that was different from the way people were playing it and it was very popular. dylan and van ronk were friends. dylan recorded van ronk's version on his first album, then he asked van ronk if it was ok with him. van ronk told him he was about to record it in a few weeks and asked dylan to wait til his next album, this is van rock's story, and dylan told him it was already on the record. this derailed their friendship for a while but van ronk got over it. van ronk was never going to have the fame that dylan had, which was already giving off the vibes of something special starting to build, if dylan hadn't recorded the song, it probably never would've got the animals attention, their recording made it a massive rock hit and brought the obscure folk song to the wide world.. van ronk had the pleasure of knowing that was the version of the song he created that ended up with such influence, he created the bass line, he had changed the chords from how people were playing it. and dylan loved it, it got sucked into his hyper creative sponging from the world around him

He sings like shit.....he's doing a crappy imitation of all the folks singers he was around in the village including the great Dave Van Ronk.

r u kidding me ? if i heard a 20 year old kid sing like this or anyone one for that matter i would say they had a bright future

@@jaw444 Whatever. I dont think the animals bit is true. This song has been around along time. The Dave Van Ronk version is the definative version. Bob Dylan doing a cover makes about as much sense jackson pollack making his living as an art forger. That is to say not only is it waste but he would (did) suck. I happen to think that Dylan is overrated as song writer (which is reasonable considering how he rated) and that the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen are far more substantial Artists. So I have my Bias I suppose but there's no denying he was not much of a singer and it's clear here. Not only does he not a have voice but his voice has no soul of it's own. All you have to is listen to this version and then Van Ronk's to prove it.

Dylan isn't a singer, he's a musician. His songwriting is why he's famous. And this isn't even an original song of his, but it's my favorite version with how simple it is.

I am a fan of Bob Dylan. I saw him live in 1990, and I buy his music.

Well then, I, sir, am your favorite and you, mine. 😄

That's because it was made in the 1600s

smegma preserves can you explain?

@@alisamisayn8349 a musician named Claudio Monteverdi made that bass line in the 1600s. Other people used it such as bob Dylan, nina simone and the Beatles.

smegma preserves thanks!

@@alisamisayn8349 np. We're all on the same team here.

Te acheeeeeiii kkk

Profesor Robério também curte Bob Dylan legal!

Caramba, não esperava encontrá-lo aqui kk

Aí sim em?

It’s not his song though

clearly wrote this one the wrong video, anyways, amazing song.

@Connor Richardson woodshed

LOL

I feel. I'd break a rib in a moshpit to this song. 😂

I was confused

Eric Durr bruh

Thank you! Now I can look at these as I listen.

That's a good summary

Traumatised is a great way to describe this.

give Joan Bez version a go too.

Inspired by Woody

does melancholy have a difference from traumatised effect? (honest question.)

i think the animals did better

Immenso inimitabile

Unfortunately a lot of that is New Vegas based which was mostly created by Obsidian. Since Bethesda only cares about making profit off of micro transactions, and own the rights to fallout, it's a good possibility there will never be a good fallout game again, or possible even a fallout game in general.

Yeah they really chose boston out of all possibilities lol boring

Bob actually "pinched" this arraigment from Dave Von Ronk. There is a funny interview with dave on how it occurred in Scorsese Biopic on Dylan. It was an old blues song with many different versions from artists long before Van Ronk.

@@hammer44head thanks. I'll check it out. Have a blessed day

Yes he did swipe the song for this, his first album and all songs on this album were done with only one take.

Same here!

Today I am one those new learner 😊

Powerful??? Are you shitting me??? Dylan's vocals are fucking AWFUL !!!

@@politicaloutsider413 not really. He sings how he sings. How many Grammys do you have?

@@murialgoldman5670 What's the link between the grammys and his voice ? I'm sorry but Dylan's vocals are médiocre.

@@arcali6378 you don't win a Grammy if you aren't good. And that's your opinion

@@murialgoldman5670 The Grammys are about the song itself, not the voice. Surely he is a genius composer, but he surely isn't a good singer. And it's not just my opinion, it will take me a long time to explain it to you because of my shitty english, but try to find power in his voice... He doesn't have any power.

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️

Zoheb Basheer so well said

I get that....its dark.

One feels the truth and reality of this woman's life and story. It was this music that brought Dylan to light and acknowledgement.

same

Me too. I turn 71 in February. I totally agree

I beat you by 1 year 1950 & today its all bubble gum crap ey !

I keep thinking that our grandchildren's children will "discover" him all over again. But then maybe not. People can make fun of folk music or protest music, but at least the singers were addressing powerful issues. Here we have a Russian War, problems in the middle east, abortion rights being taken away, and some politicians who are free to slur ...well, anyone. Where are our singers? Our young people? American Idol and the Voice made every singer into a person chasing his/her own "brand". The only issue with Taylor Swift is her love life. Good for her, but there are not going to be the same kind of discussions about her music 60 years from now. (We bought the first album when I was 18 in 1966 not knowing it had been put out in '62.) Crazy beautiful times...

I find it ear-hurting to listen to. Also it seems a little affected. It does have passion, though.

the animals version is the definitive version bro, come on. this is also excellent

same here man

@@nutsackmania The Animals version is the most widely heard, but it's a cheap knock off of this.

You hit it right on the head there: no one should ever question the quality and power of Dylan's singing--this song in particular, which must be from an old folk blues ballad, explodes from his soul from the top down and toes up.

Eric Talkington I’m 26 and still remember those days. Burn a bunch of songs on a CD then go to school with my CD player.

@@S0nyToprano yep! His /ride are

My favorite version to sing.

This is great but I don’t think anyone can beat the 1964 Eric burdon version

The animals version is better.

He is singing out his nose.

I suppose it's an acquired taste

J LORI put cork plugs in your nose holes and try to sing like hank snow and you’ll have it down

Gay? He killed this shit

Dimitris p this version of the song is from the perspective of a woman you cretin

Bob got this arrangement from Dave Van Ronk who crafted it from hearing many versions of it by original blues singers, and Dave brought it it a change of timing and chord structure he credits as coming from having been into jazz before he totally got into blues. i'd never listened to Davd's version before, check it out. Dylan loved how Dave played it, and when he was recording his new album, he recorded his version of Dave's version. then he came to Dave and said "Hey is it ok if record your House of the Rising Sun? And Dave said "i'm about to record it in a couple of weeks, can you just wait until after that?" and Dylan said "Uh oh." he told Dave he had already recorded it. They had been really good friends and Dave was mad and they weren't talking for a while. It got patched up, their women were good friends too, they hung out. Dave's wife got him to get over it. But check out, you can see how it influenced Dylan, and if you'd been around back then, you'd know Dave had a way of doing it that wasn't like anybody else, he had made changes and he used his own vocal style, and Dylan used that. it doesn't mean Dylan was a thief. People in that environment learned each other's songs all the time---keeping in mind, this was a traditional folk song, no copyright. it was the arrangement that was the creative part, bringing more out of the song. i never knew about any of this until in the past year, i was reading Suze Rotolo's book about life in those days, when she and dylan were together for about 4 years, and she told that story in the book. Today on Facebook somebody posted that today was Dave's birthday and that caused me to do some reading up on what happened with House of the Rising Sun, and to listen to both versions. i dint' hear Dylan's first album until after i'd heard the Animals version so their version was all i knew about the song, and the big deal with that song was that first we only heard the short version, we didn't know their was a longer version. AM commercial radio required songs to not be longer than about 3 minutes because they had to fit all their commercials in, that's how their bills were paid, but when music changed, following the Beatles and all the English groups that followed, i think House of the Rising Sun was the first one where it was learned that there was a longer version, maybe a DJ slipped it out, but after that everybody only wanted to hear the long one which was about 5 minutes i think, it had another verse or two from the original recording and the long keyboard solos

​@Jordan - he is the artist who used it in a way where every word was shot like an arrow that could penetrate to the core, he brought all kinds of songs and kinds of music to more people, not necessarily directly but through other artists who covered his songs, some with substantial star power. Dylan fell in love with music, he's said that and it showed, specific artists and songs and styles, and he grew dynamically from how he experienced the art that drew him in, he idolized various artists, it's well known he idolized Woody Guthrie, maybe not as well known how he idolized Little Richard, but his feelings of wanting to get into their souls and make the effect it had on him his own, were not any unethical kind of theft, the way i think of theft, ripping off. He recreated what he imitated, and this was like a number of traditions which were not commercial, just traded off among musicians performers. Dylan was inspired by the lyrics to a Paul Clayton song from which Dylan created Don't Think Twice it's Al right. That one went to court and was settled out of court. they were two different songs, but dylan used a couple of lyrical ideas from Clayton's song which was called Who's Gonna Buy Your Ribbons when I'm Gone.

Bob Dylan is one of my favorite musicians

@Luke George Evans No ,

Son todas muy buenas! Tremenda canción!!!

Escuchaste la versión de trueno celta?

Celtic thunder

I thought he could, but then I heard this.

haha

I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?

It is....but it's great that they did.

The original version of this song :)

Allan Alexander no it’s not

@@manladan5929 Did someone sing this before Dylan??

@@allanalexander4087 it's an old folk song from the Appalachians. Hundreds of other blues artists have renditions of this song, some recorded, some not. Leadbelly for instance. Song's real old.

@@sriracharamen9283 cool will check out those

Bel hommage !

Dylan could never sing opera. But then Pavarotti couldn't sing folk either.

Pero cual es el original? Dave Von Ronk lo tocaba mas o menos esta version antes de Dylan pero es una cancion viejisima. Existío mucho antes de ser grabado. Es una folk song se reinterpretó muchas veces de muchas maneras por generaciones.

Marc Eibel he’s only a legend because he sold his souls to the devil

Not for nothing he went to clarksdale crossroads....

@@omarhernandez1353 yes man.

@@omarhernandez1353 a guy who has written about humanity and its follies throughout his career couldn't have possibly sold his soul to anyone. BTW, he's a believer.
