This is playing during the closing scene montage. Hurley has it in his CD
player. Jack is getting some water. Sawyer is adding a log to the fire
on the beach. There are people sitting around the fire. Walt asks
Michael when his birthday is. Sawyer, Sayid and Kate are all sitting
together. Locke, Hurley and Jack are sitting together. Sun pulls out a
cute little night gown; shows Jin and smiles. Charlie is playing his
guitar, looking a bit frazzled.

The episode House of the Rising Sun
is centered around Sun and her agonizing decision to leave her
husband. Back in the early 20s, the name "Rising Sun" was popularly
attributed to brothels in our Anglo/American culture. The traditional
version of "The House of the Rising Sun" speaks, not of a boy's
experience, but of a girl corrupted into a life of ruin. This could
metaphorically relate to Sun whose life turned out much differently than
she had hoped, but still clings to the hope that it can change.
