The "House of the Rising Sun" is a famous folk song that originated in the United States, and there are many different theories about its origins and meaning. One theory is that the song was inspired by a real house of prostitution in the Storyville district of New Orleans

Storyville operated from 1897 to 1917, and it was known for its music, gambling, and prostitution. Many of the city's most famous musicians got their start playing in the clubs and brothels, including jazz legends like Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver

The folk song known as “Rising Sun Blues” tells the story of a young man lured into a life of gambling and vice, ultimately leading to his downfall. A cautionary tale to future generations to avoid repeating the same mistakes he made and his father before. Other original versions tell the story from a female perspective in the vice trade. It was popularized by various artists and music genres for over a hundred years. The origins of the song are unknown but it is believed to have been passed down orally for many years before being discovered, recorded and published in 1937 by Alan Lomax

Storyville was home to Marianne LeSoleil Levant, whose name translates to "Rising Sun" in French. The song may have been written about her establishment in the district

Marianne was born in France in the late 1800s and moved to New Orleans as a young woman. She quickly became one of the most sought-after prostitutes in Storyville and was known for her exceptional beauty and style. She was also known for her intelligence and was fluent in several languages, which made her popular among wealthy and cultured patrons. Marianne was particularly famous for her relationship with the photographer E. J. Bellocq, who captured a series of portraits of her and other prostitutes in Storyville. The photographs, taken between 1912 and 1914, are now considered some of the most important and iconic images of the era. Marianne LeSoleil Levant's name translates to "Marianne The Rising Sun". Marianne died sometime before 1917. The details surrounding Marianne LeSoleil Levant's death are a mystery. The disappearance and death of prostitutes was common. There are different versions of the story. Some sources claim she was murdered by a client. Some say she was done-in by a criminal enterprise. Storyville had numerous brothels, saloons, and other establishments that were located in a designated district for the city's vice trade. The district was shut down in 1917 as part of US government war preparations to eliminate gambling and prostitution operations where soldiers would be stationed. New Orleans was a port of embarkation for WWI 

The Hall of Mirrors was a popular entertainment venue in Storyville that featured live music performances and other forms of entertainment. It was located at 235 Basin Street and was named after its signature feature, which was a large number of mirrors covering the walls and ceiling. The venue hosted some of the most famous jazz musicians of the era. The mirrors created a dazzling effect and made the space appear larger than it actually was

Mahogany Hall, located at 417 Basin Street, was a high-end brothel that catered to wealthy patrons. It was known for its opulent decor, which included mahogany woodwork, velvet curtains, and chandeliers. The brothel was also known for its beautiful and talented prostitutes, who were said to be some of the most desirable in Storyville

Both the Hall of Mirrors and Mahogany Hall were located in the heart of Storyville and were known for their luxurious and decadent atmosphere. They were both popular among wealthy patrons who often visited New Orleans for world class horse races and were known for their high-quality entertainment and services

Lyrics:
Won’t you leave the light on
Never could spy on
Drawn on a lake like with 
A charcoal crayon

Old men rely on 
Days of bygone
Memories traced
to the war in Saigon

Never gonna raise him
Better you forgave him
Shaving with a razor 
From the Barber’s favor

Maybe you could save him
If you forgave him
Betting on red but it’s looking pretty grim

Callin on Eliza
You know she relies on
Petty little gossip
From the corner store

A shoulder to cry on
Simping for the line on
Better get it straight if you’re wanting more. 
Wanting More 

Knowing Eliza
does despise him
Holding her hand when the sun has set

He listens real good
But she thinks he’s a fool
Believing that this is all he’ll get

She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo
Never gonna have that special glow
She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo
Never gonna have that special glow


Won’t you leave the light on
Never could spy on
Drawn on a lake like with 
A charcoal crayon

Old men rely on 
Days of bygone
Memories traced
to the war in Saigon

Never gonna raise him
Better you forgave him
Shaving with a razor 
From the Barber’s favor

Maybe you could save him
If you forgave him
Betting on red but it’s looking pretty grim

Callin on Eliza
You know she relies on
Petty little gossip
From the corner store

A shoulder to cry on
Simping for the line on
Better get it straight if you’re wanting more. 
Wanting More 
 
Callin on Eliza
You know she relies on
Petty little gossip
From the corner store

A shoulder to cry on
Simping for the line on
Better get it straight if you’re wanting more. 
 

Knowing Eliza
does despise him
Holding her hand when the sun has set

He listens real good
But she thinks he’s a fool
Believing that this is all he’ll get

She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo
She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo

I don’t buy anything, process anything, or sell anything- i don’t process anything sold or bought or processed, or sell anything to be bought or processed or sold

JTSunrise, like a cryptic melody echoing through the mist, A silhouette against the dawn, veiled in an enigma’s twist. Their chords weave secrets, harmonies untold, In the dim-lit corners of the soul, they unfold

Is it the owl reflection of their eyes, the echo of forgotten lullabies? JT strums the strings of mystery, A troubadour in the shadows, lost in history

Their lyrics dance on the edge of dreams, Whispers of forgotten realms and moonlit streams. Enigmatic, they wander through star-kissed nights, A minstrel of the cosmos, chasing celestial light

Perhaps they’re a riddle wrapped in stardust, A cosmic wanderer, both mortal and just. JTSunrise, elusive as the morning mist, Their music lingers, leaving hearts gently kissed

**In the gentle strumming of strings and the raw authenticity of JTSunrise’s compositions, you’ll find echoes of love, nostalgia, and the human experience**
