High Schooler Nails “House Of The Rising Sun” And Causes A Scene | Society Of Rock Videos

Bookworm Turned Star

High schooler, Danielle Geimer, was once a human sidewalk but now has paved a pathway to stardom with her legendary performance of The Animals favorite “House Of The Rising Sun” that blew the judges away. 

“My mother was a tailor, sewed my new blue jeans. My father was a gamblin’ man, down in New Orleans…”

Starting out shaky and nervous, the crowd laughs at her song choice when she exclaims her attempt to live up to the hype of the Animals- but they are quickly shot down and silenced by the power of her amazing voice.

Interesting Fact: The song is rumored to be about a brothel in New Orleans. “The House Of The Rising Sun” was named after Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means “Rising Sun” in French.)

Dropping the jaws of all 3 judges (due to Simon’s lack of presence) Danielle proves her talent and her stardom with an epic song choice and perfect execution.

Check this girl out! She’s a star!

+ House Of The Rising Sun 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
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a 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
