One of my first childhood memories was hearing “House Of The Rising Sun” blasting on the radio as I lied down in my bed, probably still a crib at the time. It was summertime as I remember the windows in my bedroom being open and the curtains were flapping in the breeze. This would have been mid 1960s. That haunting melody still brings me back to my childhood.

"That haunting melody still brings me back to my childhood."

That's kinda cool. It reminds me as lead singer in a band I had called, "The Decades". The intro really set the mood for the melody. Used to really enjoy the chorus where Burden raised the pitch.
