Oh my god, this song brings back memories! (And it's STILL one of my favorites.) I loved this song from the first time I heard it, and I begged for the LP for Christmas... And my sister bought it for me!
(She also bought the first Mamas & Papas LP for me for my birthday when I was 12. Great sis, huh?)
Okay, I was a kid and had no idea what "House of the Rising Sun" meant. I mean, Elvis lived in a big house in Memphis called Graceland, so a house in New Orleans called The Rising Sun... I figured some very wealthy Louisiana family lived there. It wasn't until high school that it suddenly hit me as to what the "house" actually was... And how it ruined a young boy...
Yeah, I can be very naive sometimes. I mean, there are still some lyrics to rock songs I grew up listening to that even now I don't quite get...
