House of the Rising Sun

Thu Jun 18, 2009, 9:57 AM
Hello everybody!

I'm alive, sorry for not posting and not replying to comments and all that, my life is a bit complicated now. I haven't forgot any of you, guys and girls! :hug:

Well, today I was having a song in my head all the time... The House of the Rising Sun (The Animals) and at last I listened to it and decided to read the lyrics too because I get lost in some of the lines. After singing it with the lyrics in front of me I suddendly noticed something. I'm going to write the lyrics and then explain that. Here it goes, wonderful song!

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

-----------

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Well... after reading it I saw a certain paralelism in my life. I noticed that I have never live my life because I had a terrible fear of everything, of people, of what would other people say, to be ashamed of others or of myself, I have never allowed myself to go crazy and be happy with no fear to be ridiculous or do whatever and now I'm 30 years old. I've lost my youth doing nothing to feel alive. The place where the song says "Oh mother tell your children not to do what I have done, spend your lives in sin and misery in the House of the Rising Sun" could be well symbolized in this. The House could represent my fears and the sin and misery the fact of not allowing myself to be happy. I realized this and I felt so sad, 30 years not being myself, all my youth wasted... and now I'm going to start living for myself, my way, as I want, as I always wanted. It's impressive what a song can do to help us with our lives and paths.

It's time to get out from the House of the Rising Sun and have some fun! :D

Thanks so much for reading this! :)
I love you all! :hug:
