    "House of the Rising Sun" is a folk/blues song of mysterious origin. It seems to have popped up all over the world throughout history and over time has become the melody we know and love today. I hope you enjoyed this bass-ier version of it. Thanks for watching!

    LYRICS:
    "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,
    Sewed my new blue jeans
    Daddy was a gamblin' man,
    Way down in New Orleans"
    "The one and only thing a gamber ever has
    Is a suitcase and a trunk
    The one and only time a gambler's satisfied
    Is when he's on a drunk"
    "Mothers tell your children
    Not to do what I've done
    Spend your life in fear and misery
    In the House of the Rising Sun"

  • @maeco7
    @maeco7 2 роки тому +2333

    Geoff, you had asked during the premiere why people were requesting this specific song for you, particularly since most covers are higher and more "screamy". My two cents is that there's something about you that feels very old-school and classic - maybe in part because there were so many great old singers who were basses or baritones. This means that you're going to keep getting requests for tunes that are more than just music - they're cultural (well, American culture). 16 Tons and this one are perfect examples. Something about you taking classic songs and bringing them back to life for a new generation just feels right!

    • @joyfulyes
      @joyfulyes 2 роки тому +118

      Yes, exactly this! That "old school" thing is something I see in Geoff as well. Another song of his that's like this is the Headless Horseman.

    I'm always in awe with Geoff's singing. High or low range, he is phenomenal! However, every time there are 4 or 5 Geoffs, I find subtle differences that make me forget for a few seconds that there is one singer. His voice is the gift and the "Geoffs " are the pretty bow. Lame analogy? Perhaps. But I said what I said. 👏👏👏👏

To be quite honest it's one of the only things that keeps me on this Earth. I've been going through some real dark times and I just want to say thank you. You'll probably never read this but just know you're the reason someone is still here...

    Great cover of one of my favourite songs. And I must mention the one tv on top of the other brought a chuckle and reminded me of my dad. He was born in 1921 and went through the depression so he never got rid of anything unless it could not be repaired. At one time he had one tv on top of another. He would turn both on at same time because the sound worked in one and picture in the other. My dad passed in 2017 at age 96. Great memories😊

    I am constantly blown away by the the growth and evolution of Geoff's singing, sound, and arrangement in these songs. I have never seen someone grow so much with each new song they put out on UA-cam. Usually you start to see a pattern, but you do pop, country, folk,... you just grow and change in everything. Your bass parts get more tricky, and the back-up parts get more crisp and precise. Your sound and arrangement stays simple, but it gets more clean and spot on with each new song. And the nuance of each video is just fantastic. Whether it be outfits and background, or heads sitting on a desk, the video work is just fantastic. I share these videos with my whole family, not because of your low bass, but because of the entire magnificence and entertainment in the entirety of the video. Most of my family are musicians, singers, and songwriters, and to know the level of work that goes into something like this, and to see someone do it so well and still grow with each video is just so fun to watch. I am in total amazement, good sir! Thank you for sharing another amazing video.

I used to have a very good range from first soprano to baritone, and sang for the first half of my life nearly every day. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to sing for over 20 years now due to a terrible virus which left me with nodes on my vocal cords, but my love of music still continues to grow, even as I can no longer participate actively in it's creation.
