Athens Creek I’m sorry but I really do like this version so so much better. The arrangement with Nate starting out with a lower voice/key really sets the tone for rest of the song. I was hoping the released version would be the same as this.

I'm 67, stuck in a nursing home since March 12 2020. Sanity is only kept by my cell phone I am blessed to have. I've lost my ability to walk as we were confined to our rooms for almost 1 yr and suffering from Covid since the USA has decided to let everyone get Covid to beat it you die or live, I've lived with severe breathing, upper respiratory problems. The point of saying all that is: I was a great singer, now I'm not. But I put on my pap machine mask that provides my filled lungs and I bellar out my favorite songs, one being this one. Amazing Grace as well as House of the Rising Sun.

So I have to point out this song is almost 200 years old. Your belief that songs shouldn't be played with doesn't mesh with the fact that the best music comes from just that.
@voryoung 2 ай бұрын
@@williamjenkins4913 yeah, the Animals completely changed the original lyrics, to make it a story about a man with a gambling addiction instead of a woman stuck turning tricks in a brothel, probably more PC. But i do think it's a shame to actually pay for a cover of a song where nothing is changed - if you're going to do a cover do it better or do it differently. This is pretty cool in part because it's a male/female duet. I'd love to see a medly/mashup of the original lyrics and the Animals lyrics in a duet like this.

I love the juxtaposition of these songs sung together at the end. The desperation and pain of "The House of the Rising Sun" being sung, even as the answer to those pains is delivered in "Amazing Grace." It was well performed by the group, and a huge congratulation goes to the arranger of the piece.

He didn't play the solos you hear i'm afraid. They were clearly over-dubbed in post production. He's not playing anything close to what you actually can hear. I think that's why you don't see much of him when the solos are on. In fact a lot of the audio has been squeezed in the edit room. Still a decent listen mind you.

My mind was caught up in the line, 'to live their lives in sin and misery" when I was wakened by "how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me". There are times when tears run down the inside of my cranium and this is one of them. "The hour I first believed" (trusted) was 10:30 am on July 17th 1999. I didn't ask nor did I want to be saved but I was, I am and I will be raised up on the last day. Amazing grace indeed...

It certainly works well to juxtapose the two ideas of the woman going out like the prodigal son and the idea of the person returning home, accepted by the Grace of God. Anyone with experience of fitting words and music together in Church has probably noticed it that the words and tune fit together, though. You often get words that fit a sermon, but no one knows the tune, so you check the "meter" of the words -- how many syllables per line -- and look for a tune that has the same meter. Or you just select a different tune for the fun of it, or because you don't want to play in five flats. We used to sing the 23rd Psalm to "Washington Square" (doesn't fit so well!) and "House of the Rising Sun" when I was a teenager 60 years ago, and perhaps "Amazing Grace", though that wasn't so popular in Australia until the late 1960s. With a slight change of the words, we also fitted "I surrender all" to the tune of "Who Stopped the Rain?"
