my grandfather always sang this song for me when i was young, i haven’t been able to see him in a year, thank you for sharing this video, it really made me feel safe
I work in the casino business as a table games dealer and this song hits much different than it used to. Over time I have realized that gambling is the exact same as taking drugs. Every time a gambler wins, their brain releases dopamine and seratonin as a reward response. At first it is all fun and games and sometimes you win money. But when you're an addict, it's no longer about the money; it's about getting the next win, that next hit of dopamine. I have seen many sad things occur in the business. People waiting for their check to clear the bank at the table. I saw someone win $10,000 in less than a few hours, and proceeded to play every single penny back, then later asking other customers for loans. They say if you see someone with a gambling problem, then let a higher up know. But they have to want to quit, and many never will. I have seen the ruin of many a poor boy, and I thank God that I'm not one.
Magnificent ! If he took part in the television show The Voice, the four judges would immediately turn to him ! And it was probably he who would teach them something !
I just found this channel and can't stop listening to your music. You are incredibly talented and clearly pour your heart and soul into it. Please keep it up
I really wanna thank you. I haven't really been singing in a long time, but when I listen to your videos, I can't help but sing along with you - feels so freeing to let my emotions out.
Gotta say this was probably one of the best versions I’ve heard of this song. As always you did a great job sir and it was a pleasure to listen to you.
My dad loved this song and used to sing this to me on the guitar when I was about 3 years old. It was the first song I learned all the words to. (Including nursery rhymes 😂😂😂) He passed away 15 years ago but I can imagine him loving this if he were still around. Thank you. ❤
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 blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's all 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 Songwriter: Alan Price, Traditional
Hi Frank... big fan. Just letting you know me and my friends are in awe of your talent, and you have been such a gift during this global event. You are a treasure.
You do a wonderful job of capturing the true essence and sadness behind this song. This was the very first song I ever learned to play on guitar when I was 14, so I have a particular fondness for it. ❤
Wow! These covers are comforting and cleansing the tears of my longing heart ❤️ this Christmas 🎄 I wish I could be with my crush 😞 but these covers make my longing lonely heart bearable 😊
This has only just found it’s way to me frank. So glad it did though. This song , good as it is, has been done to death, but this is the first time I’ve heard it as a heartbreaking ballad with such raw emotion. I don’t know where you are living Frank but hearing that it should be in the heart of New Orleans . Brilliant as usual
@@FrankWatkinson that may be so Frank but listening to this I’m sat with you on a stoop in the Deep South somewhere with the crickets chirping and the swamp steaming away sipping bourbon and chewing the fat. You’re a top man!
Hats off for your consistency and love for music, if you can please make another cover of Death with Dignity, it was so so beautiful with your voice, I would love to see you sing it again! Love from India!
I like it mate, but you have a really nice vocal tone that you're not exploiting. I wish you would've maintained the whispering element but maybe sung a little more. That would've put your version in the same echelon as Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt
Your covers have been absolutely mesmerizing and emotional to watch. I can't help but feel like I am listening to a cover done by a famous artist like Johnny Cash. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. :) Can I possibly request a song? You should listen to "I Have Never Loved Someone" by My Brightest Diamond
This is one of my favorite songs to cover as a late- in - life beginner singer. YOU TUBE: TOM KITCH " THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN" (THE ANIMALS). You do so well with all of your songs, Frank, including this one.
I first heard the song my dad used to sing it playing the guitar for the longest time I thought he made it up you my friend did a perfect job the best cover I've ever heard
I truly enjoy your channel. It would have been even better if you could zoom out the video recorder a bit so that your guitar fretboard and fingers show up also.
This is a terrible song for me to fall asleep to - but only because your voice sends too many chills up and down my spine for me to feel sleepy. Thank you.
I love your covers and originals. Radiohead was a good one! You should check out Kurt Vile, you may like him. Wakin' On A Pretty Daze is a great album!
@@FrankWatkinson oh! Glad to know that. Definitely gonna watch them! I discovered that you did covers for many songs that I love! So excited to listen to them since I love your voice so much. Please keep spreading this beauty on us❤️

I can actually picture this playing in some movie trailer
Captured the mood of this song perfectly, Frank. Nice personal interpretation.
Thank you.

I cannot wait to fall asleep to this tonight. Your voice is so soothing
There are thousands of versions of this everlasting standard. Yours is full of nice emotion. Congratulations.
Thank you , i did read that this song goes back a few hundred years, lol
@@FrankWatkinson the world is going on but the basic problems and truths are still the same
Frank, please sing to us "Dust in the Wind" ❤️
I'll check it out.
Yes Frank "I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone!"
Effortless genius.
Magnificent !
If he took part in the television show The Voice, the four judges would immediately turn to him !
And it was probably he who would teach them something !
I won't be taking part in any competitions .
I just found this channel and can't stop listening to your music. You are incredibly talented and clearly pour your heart and soul into it. Please keep it up
I saw a tiktok about you and I'm so glad I looked you up!! Your voice is so soothing!!
This song took me back 40 years. Instantly!
I really wanna thank you. I haven't really been singing in a long time, but when I listen to your videos, I can't help but sing along with you - feels so freeing to let my emotions out.
I love that this is more of a spoken word piece, it's perfect
YOU ARE AMAZING. OMG. This version is perfect, i have no words to describe the feelings
I think this might be the best version i heard of this song .. im laying alone in the dark on my couch .. and this is hitting me hard ..
Still here
Still....
@@TFFSRADstill here frank.. justva new phone ❤
You sir, are just a gem in a field of dirt.. thank you for your songs.. helped a lot this holiday season...
I really like your covers because you put your own twist on it and sing it way differently and I love it
That ageing raspy mature voice is perfect.
Your voice is just perfect for this, thank you
Thank you,.
Very relaxing. Nice take on a great classic. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you.
Glad you decided to upload this Mr. Watkinson, not what I expected when I saw the title, but it works.
I love this cover, it’s has like a story telling feel to it. Don’t know how to explain it
Gotta say this was probably one of the best versions I’ve heard of this song. As always you did a great job sir and it was a pleasure to listen to you.

This is art
I swear, you make my life so much more happy and confortable. Thank you so much for your existence. A huge hug from Brazil to you
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 blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all 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
Songwriter: Alan Price, Traditional
This actually is the best rendertion of this song. The cadence is perfect. I believe the animals would say so too. I love your voice.
And your style.❤
THIS IS THE BEST VERSION DEAR MR.FRANK!! PERFECT!!
Hi Frank... big fan. Just letting you know me and my friends are in awe of your talent, and you have been such a gift during this global event. You are a treasure.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, so loved 🎉
Goosebumps
I dont usually comment under videos but i think you have a golden voice and sang this song perfectly
You do a wonderful job of capturing the true essence and sadness behind this song. This was the very first song I ever learned to play on guitar when I was 14, so I have a particular fondness for it. ❤
frank this is haunting it really creates a scene, love love love
Heard all kinds of versions of this song. This may be the best I've heard.

Paul i live in a town called Huntingdon just outside Cambridge in the UK, a long long way from New Orleans. lol.

Thanks i would have to learn it again as it was quite difficult and have over 200 other requests so i doubt very much if i will redo that one,
i cant stop listening to his covers, thank you frank ❤
Great! Simply Great!
This would fit perfectly in a western or in Red Dead Redemption, it's absolutely perfect
your mastering that instrument with a humble grace my new favorite channel keep on keeping on brother
Thank you Frank, enjoyed that very much. My band used to play that song every weekend. GOOD TIMES.
All your videos are awesome!
I'm commenting before listening. This is one of my favourite songs. I love Frank's style and it should lend itself well to this song... let's see...
I like it mate, but you have a really nice vocal tone that you're not exploiting. I wish you would've maintained the whispering element but maybe sung a little more. That would've put your version in the same echelon as Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt
this has became my favourite cover absolutely amazing!!
Best rendition
really enjoyed your playlist... they have a nice melancholic, but not too pessimist style. thank you for sharing! love from turkey (middle-east)...
Amazing
Favorite song of all time, wow.
SPECTACULAR FRANK ! HANDS DOWN
That's it. Im a fan.
This is so raw.
This is so good - Frank, could you ever do a cover of “Hey Ya” by OutKast?
Thank you i used to try that one ,if i do it will be much slower.
@@FrankWatkinson If you want to hear a slower version check out Matt Weddle's version. Would love to hear the Frank version, though!
Majestic! I have heard many versions of this song but this one stuck in my head.I really like your rythm and ur voice.

Would love to hear your rendition of any Alice in Chains songs.. Nutshell, I stay away.. Would?
All your covers give me goosebumps, wanted to ask if you have heard of "Love will tear us apart" by Joy Division? Godspeed Sir. Have a good evening.
