Whoever took this 1960s classic and merged it with 1920s Metropolis deserves an Award! What was considered science fiction a few decades ago has become reality... and it didn't take thousands of years to happen either!
RUclipsr Sanjin put this together.
I have seen this movie with songs from Pat Benetar and others. I have never heard this song.
@@kennethgodwin7769 Glad you finally heard it... One of a kind...for sure...
Amazing movie, 1927 or something? Incredible vision and effects.
⁰
I always took these lyrics as a warning not to lose our humanity in the name of progress.
That's right it's a warning song. I've got them in my top 10 best rock warning songs on my channel playlist.
Yes indeed that was also how I viewed the song, as a warning. Yes this is the very road/path we are on.
What other songs you got on your list? @@marktrail8624
Yep!!!! And look at how crazy it is today. A.I. , they, basically, started test tube baby’s years ago. Things are changing faster than we know
You know a song is effective when you can play it 50 years later and it still remains relevant
🙏⏳
This song will never age
@@stevendickinson1986 wait until they get a load of it in 2525. lol
This song is on my Favorite Songs playlist and I’m 73.
Same here!
Priceless reactions!.....Imagine how we felt 50 years ago hearing this, and now seeing this stuff happen!
This song was ahead of it’s time, most of the predictions in the song have come true, test tube babies, artificial limbs, robotics the lyrics are amazing
Yep. Transhuman experiments are in practice now. Human organ composites being grown in pigs for transplant is a mere distraction from the Fauci+puppies+aborted fetal parts scenario...(Seen any glowing plants, fish, or poisonous insects touted by science? Or any odd new species lately roaming at night, or being washed up on shores?)
you said it ................ and more

More like predictive programming to desensitize people…

Let's recognize the brilliance of the three creators.
1. Metropolis by Fritz Lang 1921
2. In the year 2525 by Rick Evans 1969
3. Sanjin putting the two together in 2015.
Those three people were never alive at the same time, yet results in this powerful message. The span of those three people are 102 years.
This alignment of clips from the original film with the song performance brings me to tears. Remarkable editing.
I sincerely believe this could be the most relevant youtube video ever created. A statement about we need to think about humanity is going.
Thank you so much for the details. I was a little off on when Metropolis was filmed. GREAT FILM IN ITS OWN RIGHT ❤
Metropolis is from 1927
Zager & Evans were an American rock-pop duo active during the late 60's-70's. This futuristic song "In The Year 2525" was their biggest hit in 1969 so they are often classified as a one-hit wonder.
also the space race was on between USA and Russia, Sci-Fi movies were really big back then
Congratulations....i first heard this song 50 years ago when I was 10. It will never leave you. Because it could be true.
I was born 1976 and most of this has come true
Zager & Evans are the only act to hit #1 in the US and UK and not have any other single reach the top 100 in either country. So they’re the *ultimate* 1 hit wonder.
@@TalklikeAPirate Try is true. For example not just testtube babies, but clones. As far as we know not humans yet, but less than 50 years at the most.
To me, this is the epitome of "One Hit Wonder." Such an amazing and catchy song, and almost prophetic. What a shame Zager and Evans didn't have more in the tank.
I was 13 years old when this was a hit and it has stuck with me in the intervening 52 years. Today it is still in my top five favourite songs. Looking back it is frightening how prophetically true the lyrics are.
Amen! It's one of my favorites also and still gives me chills.
I was 19 and just got home from Vietnam in Jan., 1969. I am 100% disabled from the war. I love this song. It evokes many memories and emotions for me. I am 73 now and will be 74 later this year, God willing, the creek don’t rise, and I don’t die before October.
@@jimbreslin4210 I pray that creek doesn't rise until you feel ready for it. Bless you for your service and courage.
In my teens then too ,eerie
Well..what's your other top 5s? Im interested
This song was released in 1969. I was fourteen, and it affected me deeply. I began, at that relatively young age, studying philosophy and sociology and went on to teach these subjects at the university level, hoping I could make a difference. Music is our common denominator and can move us forward in all kinds of amazing ways.
This came out in 1969, I was in college. The US and the rest of the world was in turmoil. Many people thought the world was ending. This song was eerie. Unforgettable. TY for listening to songs from the 1950s and 1960s. You two are dears.
The crazy thing is, while "In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)" came out in 1968 and was properly deemed "futuristic" and "visionary" for its day, Rick Evans actually wrote it several years earlier in the early '60s. It was recorded in Odessa, Texas, in one take, in a studio residing in a cow pasture.
Amazing! Thank you for this info. 💥🔥🔥🔥
this song proves that music is not just fun and giggles it can also deliver a message
Just like sound of silence… check out the Disturbed cover. Actually better than the original
@@MichaelBattiste you should also listen to the version from henk poort also very godd
@@MichaelBattiste Yes, that was riveting!
I am thrilled that you actually found this classic!!!! Thank you so very much 🥰✌️❣️🌱
The song has a lot of impact on it’s own but the video you chose, with the footage added by RUclipsr Sanjin, just added to it. This is what he said about his version: “Here's a music video I cut together with footage from the classic apocalyptic sci-fi film Metropolis, combined with sci-fi folk song In The Year 2525 by Zager & Evans. I really found them fitting together in a dystopian transhumanist meets Aldous Huxley's Brave New World kind of way. What awaits humanity after the intense technological and biological developments set in motion? If we ever get there? Thea von Harbou had some intensively accurate visions of the future. And Fritz Lang did the visual masterpiece. All this is now a classic topic about the future of humanity. In this video I wanted to concentrate the idea, the message and the visions of the future. With the classic one hit wonder song and outstanding vintage film footage.” I think he nailed it.
" dystopian transhumanist meets Aldous Huxley's Brave New World" always thought that was the reconstruction of Manchester's terraces into the tower blocks.
A few years ago I had the chance to see the whole Metropolis film at the British Film Institute, on a full sized cinema screen, was fantastic. It fits well with this futuristic song.
Is that Metropolis?
@@sarad2376 Yes
I'm more afraid of the next 10 to 15 years (I'll be gone after that). What will it be like when we have 100 billion people on the Earth, can we or it survive? Maybe a thought by George Orwell, an International lottery?
This came out in 1969 during a time of unrest in our country. I was 13 at the time. It was a scary song if you thought about it. Now, it seems prophetic.
1969 "In the Year 2525" stayed at #1 for six weeks, which was longer than any other song that year and earned it the distinction of #1 record of the year 1969. The song reflected the apprehension of the times and also the wonder of technology: it started its run at the top of the US chart the week before the Apollo 11 moon landing.
I was 9 when it came out
Two years before I graduated from high school. I actually think the song has some really good things to think about!
I was 11 the song has always stuck with me the things were changing so fast technology was advancing so fast man on the moon high tech war.
You're correct on it being #1 for 6 weeks but so was Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In. As far as being #1 for 1969 it wasn't even in the Top 25. Billboard ranked it #26 for 1969 and Sugar, Sugar #1
Wow. Thats spooky. I was only 6 years old.
Listen.... When I was a kid and they used to play the song on the radio, it freaked me out every time. It is additionally freaky that someone put it to a Metropolis montage. Edit: guys are cracking me up with your reaction. I tend to forget that younger people would not be aware of this song.
This song did made us stop and think back then (I was18), and you do have to wonder where technology is taking us, with self-driving cars, basic robots doing factory jobs, drone attacks, space travel, genetic manipulation, and kids that are so addicted to their ipads that they have a meltdown when they're not working.
The walk on the Moon took place in July 1969. I was 9 year's old stuck to the TV. My Grandfather never believed it. But now I live close to the Space coast. Over the years I've watched Apollo Missions, Space Shuttle Missions and Space Ex. I believe if my Grandfather were to have witnessed this that he would be a believer. 😜🚀🤯😎🤔🌴🐊🌞🇺🇲 Hello from Orlando, Florida.
Technology has created a homeless population explosion and all factories have been shipped to China
I love this reaction. I know it's scarry but it really makes people think.
Yes agreed Bro, what ZAGER & EVANS 50 years ago . is now becoming reality. Even until the year 9595 he took everything this earth can give. And he aint put back nothing. and in 10,000 man will no longer exist. I think already in 500 years. really scary that they could think of this. but it will happen. you don't have to be a scientist for that.
This song always gave me chills, way back in the late 60's while in grade school, as you can imagine. I think this song was written as a warning, the writer obviously felt the people were losing their souls. Makes ya think!
Whoever put this song and edited the old videos with it is genius! Your faces said it all… no words needed 🙃😀
What you just saw was from the movie "Metropolis" [1927] silent movie. This movie was way ahead of its time. The director Fritz Lang created a world where the elites sit atop- skyscrapers and look down upon the working class who are doing all the heavy lifting. They are orchestrating the working poor lives unbeknownst to the masses. Looks like what is happening today. The elites or 1% [percenters] of today are telling us how to live and what to believe in.
Sager and Evans song is based somewhat off of this movie. It is worth watching to get the full picture of how great this silent movie was back in 1927. And what the meaning of the song is all about.
Thing was , much the same in 1927 really (see Charlie Chaplin films similar of man working as cog in machine)
Wasn't this movie also featured in Queen's music video for "Radio Ga Ga"?
Saw Metropolis as a UCLA grad film student in 1969. Guest speaker for the showing was...Fritz Lang.
@@alanfoster6589 Wow, that must have been something. I wish I was in the audience that day. How lucky and fortunate you were to be a part of film history. And being witness to one of the greatest directors ever...
@@footballlover9207 Yes. It was.
The look on you two's face was priceless !!!
Your reactions were so sincere and authentic. When this played on the radio back in the day we all were stunned as well…
I wanted to give you, first this song was released in 1969 in the UK. It reached #1 on the charts in the UK and in the United States!
More background about Zagreb & Evans! If you were around for the time 1999 to 2000 people went overboard with fear, but this song explains exactly what the majority were thinking that Computers were the bad guy and they (computers) we’re gonna take over the World!
The picture video was from a silent film. but "In the Year 2525" stayed at #1 for six weeks, which was longer than any other song that year and earned it the distinction of #1 record of the year 1969. The song reflected the apprehension of the times and also the wonder of technology: it started its run at the top of the US chart the week before the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Time magazine speculated that this was "composed by a computer at the Rand Corporation."
Evans is the songwriter!
Kimberly
This is a great track which is enhanced by the video which is taken from a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction drama called 'Metropolis' set in a futuristic urban dystopia. The silent film is regarded as a pioneering science-fiction movie, being among the first feature-length movies of that genre.
Great reaction guys, keep 'em coming
This song came out in mid '69. It use to freak me out. It freaks me out more knowing how far down that path we've already traveled and it's only been 53 years. The astronauts took their first moon walk just days after this song hit #1.
So much of that is already true! This song scared the daylights out of me! I remember this well- They had the movies out for us to see "Soylent Green" and "Omega Man" which were "this kind of scary " too. Don't be afraid... just love one another and your fellow man too. Here's a song to have the opposite effect : "Moondance" by Van Morrison- album version. You'll be smiling inside & out!
@joyce walbert• YES! I remember seeing Soylent Green and freaked me out! Remember Soylent Green is...! Nope, not giving away the secret ending, just in case they decide to watch it on their own which they REALLY SHOULD. #NYGenXBikerLady
Look up " Love is the answer!" 💋
Wow, so cool to remember Omega man,
very unappreciated 👍
@@OhAncientOne Thanks! I agree.
Yes agreed Bro, what ZAGER & EVANS 50 years ago . is now becoming reality. Even until the year 9595 he took everything this earth can give. And he aint put back nothing. and in 10,000 man will no longer exist. I think already in 500 years. really scary that they could think of this. but it will happen. you don't have to be a scientist for that.
This song always makes my heart jump and brings tears to my eyes.
This song was scary when I heard it as a little girl but it is even scarier listening to it as an adult. This was very deep. 😱.
If the world were not in the state, it's in, the reaction wouldn't be so profound? Could it be predictive programming?
Wow -- I've never seen you two so shook! I like you guys. You seem to have really good hearts.
The all-time best seller for a "one-hit wonder" with 20 million sold. Not bad for a couple of farm boys from Nebraska. Rick Evans passed in February 2018, but Denny Zager is still involved in music with his own custom guitar shop in Lincoln, Nebraska.
I have one of his guitars on order. Their craftsmanship is stunningly beautiful.
Damn! More than spirit in the sky?
@@bobkitten8150 "Their craftsmanship" is imported from Indonesia
@@bigmac51290 in Nebraska.
@@bobkitten8150 Sorry to disappoint you, but they aren't. You won't find anywhere that straight up says "Made in USA." If they were made in the US, then the Zagers would have it in all caps in the guitar since they are all about advertising. "Made in USA" is a HUGE selling point, and they would make it known EVERYWHERE.
😂when you said I don't want to do any more reactions like that🙃 your expressions were priceless, great reaction. when the song first came out we didn't relate to the lyrics, we just thought it was a cool song. but now to see the video, knowing the impact of the lyrics, and knowing the song was written in 1969 is insane!!
The visual aspect of this video comes from the 1927 German silent film "Metropolis", often cited as the first true Sci-Fi movie. The story is dystopian, and the effects were absolutely groundbreaking.
The Germans were ahead of everyone else back then for films.
The looks on your faces was priceless!!
Another song similar in a rather bleak message is "EVE OF DESTRUCTION" by Barry McGuire (1965)
And each may be even more relevant today than when it was written.
I second that! Eve of Destruction will make you not sleep.
I was a teen in reform school when I first heard it. It's even more accurate and scary today than then.
Thank you for the info, I'm going to find this music.
From 1969...Still puts a tear in my eye....Slowly, things coming true...Now, June 23, 2023..I saw yesterday, motorized shoes, to walk down the street,,don't even need to move your legs,,& today, chicken grown in a long glass tube in a lab.....Love you guys,,,,a perfect reaction.....Luckly, we won't be here....
The scariest part is man is closer to this happening then we can ever imagine.
Thanks 😊 I haven't heard this song since I was a kid. It used to be on the radio all the time. Don't worry too much, after all everything has a life expectancy, even the sun will cease to exist one day.
This song was so prophetic. And scary. I remember hearing this on the radio in my car in 1969 (my first year driving). They played it a lot. From what we know today, it's not so far fetched. Yikes.
Hi, just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your reactions. I'm 67 and wheelchair bound but you two give me life! My favorite cute couple. Keep the music going.
The look on your faces during this video... just priceless. I was wondering who’s jaw was going to hit the floor first. A lot of songs from this era are deep and full of meaning. I really enjoys the two of you, such a mellow vibe..... keep on keeping on.
It's called "playing the crowd".
@@ms-jl6dl Sadly that happens so often it is hard to spot genuine reactions.
Screen Shot at 7:04. S&M 😲Just stunned
I remember when this came out, it was an apocalyptic style folksong view of the future and has several have pointed out, several of the predictions came true, just a lot faster than in the song. Basically, if we don't change our ways this is what future holds for us.
WOW! This song affected you two way more than it affected me back then, I saw it more as a novelty song than your apocalyptic take on it which was affected by the great video, I'm sure, but hearing it through your ears after all that has happened since 1969 when I graduated high school it is kinda shocking. Today, our focus is less on physical aspects of "evolution" than on the computers taking over, making us unnecessary. Back then, it was pills and mechanical devices that brought dystopia but today we have gene technology, artificial intelligence, deep fakes, and stuff we don't know is out there yet so it really is scarier now.
These guys were from Omaha, and I believe they just had this one hit. so much of this has come true. (invitro fertilization, Computers controlling what we do as well as machines doing what used to be hard work). Love listening to you two, great job.
Remember, this song was written in "69". Us hippies not only thought about the present, but the future. I think its the only song I heard from them. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Just imagine how we felt about this back in the sixties! And then alot of this has turned out to come true! Makes me wonder what else of this song might still come to pass! Great reaction even though you said not to ever send you this kind of music again! Ha!Ha!Ha! It's only music Shawn!
This is one of my favorite songs but then again some of my favorite books are 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451. This is a great Sci fi song and is meant to make you think about the path we as the collective human race are on.
Because it's all happening. Thank God I'm 61 with one foot in the grave.
I haven't heard this in a long long time. We ARE moving to that faster than 5555.
#1 for SIX WEEKS! Zager and Evans only had one other song hit the charrts and that peaked in the #86. They are the very definition of a one hit wonder. This song was everywhere and was one of the few songs over two minutes ten seconds to play on AM radio top 40.
I love your reaction to this, gets your attention, they were ahead of their time.
This 60s song is an experience.The lyrics are well thought out.
The look of shock on your faces was incredible. I'm 66 so this song was in the realm of science fiction when I first heard it. What's scary is how much has already come about.
The amazing thing about this song is even as long ago it was written... it is eerily accurate. Technology is so fast growing, who knows what the future holds.
The really scary thing about this song and all the books and songs mentioned in the comments is, we have known about all this ideas for over 100 years, and we still are walking straight into this reality without question.
This song was written back in the 50's/60's and predicted today's world pretty accurately... Scary!
I played this on vinyl just about everyday as a young kid 😁
Mel's face at around 6:55 killed me! Loved this reaction guys! Thank you so much.
Let's just stand back and appreciate.such a forward thinking song utterly brilliant.
Can't say we weren't warned!
Imagine hearing this on a am/fm radio at 1am when your 9 years old and you been watching Vietnam on the 6 o clock news last evening, on a zenith tv.Then 20 years later your standing in Iraq watching the enemy burn along The Highway of Death.
This song came out in the 60s when we were just starting to read a lot of dystopian literature, such as 1984, and Brave New World. This song highlights some of the concerns raised by the authors of those disturbing novels.
Your stunned reactions were exactly what they were going for, just picture reactions back around 1970!
The Story is of Man's Quest for Technology. In the 60's, the fear was that Man would make so many labor-Saving devices that he becomes Irrelevant. Now Think about what we have today vs. back then. This Song becomes even Scarier, Yet More Truthful.
They didn't have Artificial Insemination, Cell Phones (To keep our Attention away from what's happening Around Us), Even our thoughts are being Altered by the Movies we watch and Which News media we choose to Listen to. We've got Drugs to Relax us and Drugs to Energize us. The Bell has Tolled, and We're Closer than Ever to bringing 2525 to Fruition.
This song is crazy. I have listened to it for years... Some of the things in this song have come true. Which is terrifying. That is the 1st time I have ever seen a video of it. Made it seem even crazier! Love your reaction .
Just think about it, if this crap happens, here comes the boogie man he’s going to get you!!!!!Loved y’all’s reaction it looked like this scared the crap out of you!
When this song came out, we didn't even think we would make it to 2000. My town was still having Air Raid drills. That'll scare ya
I've watched a lot of reactions to this song, your guys reaction is easily the best, love it
This song was way before it’s time, another classic masterpiece, it is actually sorta scary
Thank you for reacting to this song. In my opinion, IF we all pull together and make ABSOLUTELY SURE these things do not happen, our beautiful, MOTHER EARTH might survive, and I pray she will thrive. I remember listening to this song when I was 14 in 1969, hearing it as a science fiction story. I see so many things happening now days, I don't see it as an entertaining story any more. I am sorry you were frightened, Mel, but thank you so much for listening. Peace and love, Karen
The look on both of your faces at the end is PRICELESS!
Shawn and Mel. I remember this song played on AM (amplitude modulation) radio stations. Nuts huh? I'm old. Blessings to you both
Trust me, that song gets everyone.
This was written in 1964 by Rick Evans but not released as a single until 1969... I attended Woodstock in 1969 and this song was being played everywhere with battery operated cassette players as the eight tracks were being phased out. A number one hit that everyone even back then could relate to.
I assume you mean 4-track. 8-tracks took over along with cassettes and remained common in the decade of the 70s before being phased out in the early 80s.
I wore out my 45 single record, when I bought this one. The future to me, through this song, wasn't so far away, as a 15 year old. You guys.....we are already walking into this today. And we ain't given back nothing.
The look on y'all face😆😆😆
PRICELESS
This song Always freaked me out since I first heard it, but the look on both of your faces was absolutely priceless, thank you it was put a smile on my face but the way you guys looked it was beautiful, and I always chuckle every time you guys say welcome to the s&m squad yes my mind's in the gutter but I always chuckle every time I hear that I love you guys, keep up the great work.
Their reaction to this song is priceless
It scares you because we can see it’s all headed that way. We can see it could happen. I know this song! I haven’t t heard it in years! This freaks me out too! In 1969 when this came out, it was like sci-fi and out of the realm of possibility.
i LOVE THIS SONG. The bright and cheering melody is completely at odds with the sheer darkness of the lyrics. Pure genius, and somewhat of a prophecy.
When this song was released, it seemed like the radio station I listened to (WABC New York) played it every hour. A great song. Combining it with scenes from the 1927 film "Metropolis" is genius. LOVE the look on your faces! :-)
Came out in 1969 by Zager and Evans 'In The Year 2525' was a single I bought at age 14 that we used to dance to. We had so much music that kept us busy we didn't think about the warning of its lyrics. We were ignorant children LOL. I liked the beat and I give it a 90 hehehe! Wink. I hear it now and I still love hearing it though now I get the meaning of the warning through it's chilling lyrics. It was a big hit in its day.
Film clips are from Fritz Lang's silent epic 'Metropolis' released in 1927. It is beautifully restored to its 1927 theatrical release and out on Blue-Ray disc featuring its amazing original orchestral scoring. Set in 2027 The film is a warning about middle class disintegration and rule by the upper classes to oppress the poor to work the great machines that run the Metropolis. The scientist ruler's son discovers how his dad has been ruling all with an iron fist and decides to find the why of this persecution of the poor. The girl of a poor worker enlists his aid to help her people who are kept in an underground city where they work to total exhaustion. There are many special effects that have been borrowed from later films such as 1982's 'Blade Runner.' There there are many hair raising adventures and horrors with the famous last minute rescue. 'Metropolis' ranks up there with some of the greatest films of the Twentieth Century.
It was a bit scary to my 9 year old self at the time. Listening to that coming home from visiting my great aunt in the nursing home. Even then as unsettling as it was, it made me think about what we do here. So from then on, I've always appreciated this song.
I can't believe you found this! I haven't heard it since........high school? Love it - and so fun that you enjoy weird, too!
Yes, this song was meant to scare people , inc the scenes from Fritz Lang's futuristic movie, Metropolis". 1984 tpe prophecy on steroids!
Great reaction guys Same reactions in 1969 Everyone was like you got to hear this!!!
The movie playing in the background of this looks like Metropolis. A silent movie from 1927 that portrayed a Utopian world....for those that lived above and a nightmarish existence for those who toiled below to keep the facade of that Utopia in place. If you ever get around to reacting to movies, that would be an excellent one to react to someday. Also, there's a book by Aldous Huxley titled Brave New World that has a lot of the elements of this song in it.
Wow, I didn't know this, thanks. So I'm guessing the movie Elysium is maybe a take on Metropolis?
@@AK00777 Have never seen Elysium so I couldn't say, but I didn't mean that BNW was based on Metropolis, just some of the thematic elements in Metropolis, but then so does Orwell's 1984 with its proletariat masses that are kept under control.
@@Rebel9668 ok. Yep, I thought of 1984 too. This song was crazy. Don't know how I've never heard it at 52 years old 🤣
@@AK00777 I dunno, lol. I'm 53 myself so maybe that extra year...😂😂
@@AK00777 No comparison in my opinion. I have seen them both. But, that is just my opinion.
It should be in the year 2025. Great reaction. This songs been scaring people.
This is 69 I think and whilst I loved the sound of the song, the lyrics scared even Jesus out of me! And I'm English!! Digital, video, mob phones, these were things not even to be imagined yet... yet I "got" this song immediately. (I was going on 9). Soo prescient. And still scary. There's a great b/w video they showed with this when it became a hit, I'm sure.
Wow. That was really well done. Metropolis is amazing, and this song is another example of art imitating life or vice versa. Very well done indeed. Quite eye opening.
To purge the scary memory of this song may I recommend “Don’t take away the music” or “Heaven must be missing an angel” by Tavares..love them
The first time I heard this song as a child it gave me nightmares. The test tube baby happened and is happening now. Crazy!
Love this song. There was a TV show called Cleopatra 2525 that used it as a theme song, if I remember correctly,
I am so happy that I accidentally found you two…
I first have to say I LOVE YOU and wish you were part of my family…
My children would love you….
I have seen a few others that REACT,,,,,,, there is no way to compare you two to them,,,
they just don’t have what you two give to us. Honest feelings, you stop when you need to take in
what they are saying… I will WATCH YOU instead of listening to you…..I also rewind to see your reactions,!!!!
I see in you two, family, love, honest caring, true feelings. You may be surprised,,,
but I think you were sent to me from THE MAN ABOVE…. I DO, REALLY BELIEVE THAT….
AND more than that,,,, you know what I am saying..With love from above,, Judith Gorski
Thank you for just being YOU.😇🙏🦋🌈🎹🎤🎷🎻🥁🎸🪘🎼
I remember first hearing this song in my late teens and it really scared me. Now, with the world making as little sense as it does, I start to wonder and worry. It's really rare now and difficult to find but if you can find the original TV version (in two parts) of Brave New World (1980) - there's a trailer here: ruclips.net/video/xfHtPUfwM34/видео.html - it gives an insight into this song I've always thought. Babies created in a lab, the entire population controlled by daily drugs (soma) and worse of all, the babies intellect controlled by genetic engineering before birth, with each baby born to only reach the level of intelligence required for their job/position in society (Alphas, Betas, Deltas, Gammas etc) I hadn't heard this song in so many years and hearing it again today, it still scares me as much as it did in my teens. Sending heaps of hugs for you both from UK xx
Holy s*#t! I remember this song. I never thought I’d be around to see 2025. Thanks❤️🇨🇦
A lot of that song is pretty prophetic, a lot of it already starting/happening *now.* (Sperm banks, in-vitro, no need for muscle with all the machines we have and use, etc.) Anyway, cool, interesting song. Liked it way back when, still do!
Vickie I was thinking along the same lines as you, very prophetic and yes a lot of happening now and will continue. However, God did not create man just to destroy him years down the road. Man is destroying himself, but God has a better way 😉❤️
@@angelbesson5363 Its funny how the more man "progresses," the more mental stresses there are. Physically life may be easier, but deadlines, appointments, traffic, commitments, passwords, glitches, scams, and stresses can wear us (or at least me) to a frazzle. Maybe simple and basic is better after all. And i agree God has a "better way."
Your reactions are as classic as the song… by the way, that video was incredible….nice watching both of you
Helps explain why the Boomers sometimes seem a bit jittery. Also proves that the Wrecking Crew can also scare the crap out of you. Gotta love your shocked expressions on this one. I remember hearing that every morning on the school bus ,very thought provoking to a little kid.
@Bill Mann• My two older brothers are Boomers and they're who introduced me to the song as a kid. I grew up listening to so much different music because there was a 40-year gap between me and my parents. PLUS both my brothers were musicians and they listen to things that was so much older than they were. Zydeco, Santana, Peter Tosh, Lady Day, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Tom Jones, Robert Johnson, Rolling Stones, BB King, Talking Heads, Frank Sinatra, Sex Pistols, Luciano Pavarotti...you get the idea. Plus a lot of classical music because my one brother was trained in classical piano & my other brother was trained in classical guitar. This song was actually one of my favorites even though the video did kind of freaked me out as a kid. Watching it with adult eyes I look at it a lot differently though and can I appreciate his context more. I can still say that it's one of my favorite songs. 😉💜😎🤘

The ‘Boomers’ were born into countries recovering from the Second World War, straight into the days of the iron curtain and real threat of nuclear war. They grew up with rationing, in Europe. They have seen a lot of massive change in their lives that you couldn’t think to comprehend. Also, to be clear, most boomers are dead now as they were born in the 1940’s and 1950’s. I see a lot of ignorant post using the term boomers seemingly without understanding what the term even means. It’s not my generation but my parents and I find the use of the term these days to be quite condescending and disrespectful.
@@cloverite Boomers were born between 1946 and 1965. I know I'm one of them. My older siblings are still living and some of them are war babies, born during the second world war. The rest are Boomers like me, and damn proud of it. Sorry if you're so sensitive that you take it as a slight, but we don't look at it that way. If anyone has a problem with that...tough. Oh, yeah, we are kind of outspoken, and we're at the point in life where we are not all that bothered by a lot of things , but we ain't puttin' up with no crap, either. Show that to your parents.
@@cloverite Hey, Boomer here. Born 1951. Am soon to be only 71. I am not ready for the bone heap just yet. Even those of us born in the 40's aren't mostly dead either. We have been fitted from the advancements in medicine and science resulting in us being and able to stay in better shape than our parents and grandparents were at our age(s). I look at pictures of my grandmothers when they were in their 40s, 50s and 60s and they looked way older than I look now at 70. We. Are. Not. Mostly. Dead.
@@billmann6278 BRAVO! Standing ovation here clapping and cheering my boomer brains out. :0D
I grew up with this song y'all it's amazing how things have turned out
