Zager & Evans - In the Year 2525
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2014
- 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. Not to forget Brigitte Helm and her impressive acting. 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.

LYRICS
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God's a-coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
"Guess it's time for the Judgement Day"
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say, "I'm pleased where man has been"
Or tear it down, and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been ten thousand years, man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

This song was so far ahead of its time!!
Yes, spot on with humanity.

3:11 This was one of my favorite songs when I was a teenager.
Got married that year we still are
I’m 76 and I listen to this music every day. We old people grew up in the best of times. Wish I could go back to those days !!!!
Im 16 and i wish i could go back
I’m 20 years behind you, old crusty lol. If you’re listening to this progressive/ human futuristic music at 76. Kudos, brother, one of the few of your generation. Peace, farewell and may your transition from the body be filled with joy at your moment.
I'm 37, and I even agree with you. I grew up in the late 90's / early 2000's, and those were much better than where we are now... Although 1965-1975 is the greatest decade of music ever... British invasion to Vietnam Protest songs, and it stops before disco really takes off.
@@laurentdussault7675it was hella racist back then. If you're WHITE then you could control the world. But everyone else was screwed
@dennistilley3013
your generation sucks(boomers) the silent gen and greatest gen
Won 2 world wars and defeated russias communism
Your gen is leaving mine (Millienials) with a 30 trillion deficit
A border crisis
Inflation
And less posterity and strength on the world stage
My generation will either sink or swim
I’m optimistic
but still your generation (flower children ) is the worst
2023 now and I remember this song when it was released. 'Man has taken everything this old Earth can give and he aint put back nothing' - how prophetic.
It was already clear for them where it's going to...
Now most of us think we would not even survive another 100 years...
Hopefully we can still go a U-Turn
How can humanity make a U turn? Only in our dreams@@Daniel_CH_
Not nothing... poisons
This song was written when global freezing was a thing... 🤣
Nah it's the race of doom like DEVO said.
Seems like we’re ahead of schedule
Yeah, You already know that but I'd guess that they took these years for stylistic purposes only and not because in 1969 they lacked the scope of how fast things would move during 10,000 years.
Unfortunately lol
who's here because deep down they know the conspiracy theorists are right and they dont want to admit it on their Facebook so as to hurt their fake image !!!!
way ahead of schedule
yes, the new world order has begun, look out for the vax, its bad news
When I was a child of the 60s this song was so far into the future it didn't seem relevant, but things appear to be progressing so fast now that it's scary.
rld when it first came out the year 2000 seems to be so far away, and now in 2020, things seems to be moving sooo fast for worldwide destruction
i agree
Yeah terrifying isn't it
you can thank the Beast for Knowledge will abound in the Last of Days
I have (as many other people - but not those who were born after the early 90s) seen the world before the Internet and global mobile networks. It was very different. The world was bigger and information was mostly available from books/newpapers/magazines and maybe audio sources and perhaps Norton help files and text files on floppy and directly from people. Human communication/contact was very direct. I mean, we used phone booths OMG. I, myself, can only imagine the world before the computers and abundance of landline phones. When I was a child, to my fortunate, my father worked for a computer company and we had original IBM PCs at home. But most people had no computers. Some had C64s, Amigas and few had IBMs and some IBM compatibles. The closest to web sites were Bulletin Board System servers that could be reached via voice modems. Even that looked very advanced. Today, it looks odd if someone owns no computers or smart phones.
I can hardly imagine what the future looks like. Say, 50 years from now. A hundred.
Looks more like 2025 for all these predictions.
Unfortunately
I'm looking at a report for artificial wombs for human baby's they are experimenting with today.

We have to give credit to George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, JFK for trying to expose “Watergate”. Malcolm X for his drive, Hendrix, Cobain, Bob Marley for their musical talents. This video as well.
Ik there’s better examples then this and many more people that has stated this years before, also years later.
Dark, dark song, but I've loved it for years. Prophetic.
@williampatrick2971 Thats actually already happened. Freaky.
@@williampatrick2971 and what's so disturbing about it? It's a new way to procreate, way less risky and way more efficient than live birth. Give it about 30-40 years, and humanity will have divorced its organic components and switched to artificial synthetic bodies. That is if advanced AI wouldn't have already replaced us as a species by then. Only good things can come from that, the way we are living right now is a literal nightmare.
The idea of humanity making it to 2525 is the most optimistic thing I’ve heard in a long while.
As that's just over 500 years away, i'll tke that bet!
Dude 500 years is nothing. Humanity had been around much longer than that. We've found that modern humans may have existed longer than we even thought. Thousands and thousands of years. Modern humans have existed for at least 10,000 years... imagine what the ancient peoples thought of it being our time. They never imagined we'd be around in 2021. Some of them thought the world would have ended dozens of times by now..
Hell, even if we nuke each other, some small pockets of humanity will survive. Have more faith in your species. A lot of us are fucked up, but there's also so much potential for good in us.
@@I_am_a_cat_ The Bible says the world is about 6,000 years old and I believe what he Bible says.
@@1223jamez You're not very smart then, are you?
You know the bible says some other ridiculous stuff too? Like.. "Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material" yet I guarantee that you're doing just that right now.
Like come on dude. You cannot say you believe one part, but not the other ridiculous things. I could go on and on and on about all the stupid made up shit in the bible.
If I wrote down a bunch of stories, Put them in a book, and then said book was found buried in the ground 2000 years later.. Does that make everything in the book true? No? Of course not. Just because it was written by ancient humans, that doesn't make it real. You're trusting the accounts of people that didn't even know we live on a planet. People that didn't even know what makes rain happen. People that were superstitious about EVERYTHING.
You're going to trust those people with your eternal soul? LOL.
Lets try this. Here's some ridiculous stuff you like to ignore.
What about "When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean." Leviticus 15: 19-20
How about "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves." Numbers 31:17-18
Ohhh how about this one eh? So you believe in owning slaves then? Because the bible says that, too. "You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT
Get your head out of your ass. It wont kill you to admit you're wrong.
@@I_am_a_cat_ we get it. You think earth is more than 6000 years old, no need for the walls of text.
I'm 60. I listened to this song in the 60's, and now... here we are!
2525?
I'm 82....loooong way to 2525.
Yup, with AI and the government telling us what to do....
We're not dead yet!

I was one when this was released I’m now approaching my 55 birthday an I’ve seen the world change in my short time an in my opinion I certainly wouldn’t want to be around in 2525 . God help us all ! Greetings Portsmouth England 🏴
I don't think humans will be around then. At least not in the way they are now. We are slowly but surely trashing this planet. Soon we'll be on the way to extinction. And why? All because of money 💰. It's all about the bottom line. That sums us up.

I remember when this first aired in '69. Lots of changes in society and the world and it scares me! I feel so sorry for the younger generation. Blessings from an old guy in America.
50 years old music and 100 years old video they're a perfect match!
@Khamasin 2020 we are here
Ahem, you mean 1,050 year old music
Indeed. Much of it has already come to pass.
Today we are here.
2020 the start of a BRAVE NEW WORLD. And 2021 isn't going to be any better, if the elitists, and the government's of the world get there way. This wasn't just a song it was a prophecy.
Still a perfect song. Man's emphasis on technological advancement while neglecting his moral growth is stunning.
Morals are cultural.
People comparing story books to real life will always windge moral decay.
@@nick4506Menschen, denen Eitelkeit und Gewinnsucht wichtiger sind als ihr Gewissen und die Ehrfurcht vor der Schöpfung begründen den moralischen Verfall ...

What a song people should listen to this 2023
Claus Schwab's vision for us.
I am 66. When this was released it was a fantasy vision of a far off future. Who could have imagined that everything prophesised in the song would become a reality within60 years. Stunning visuals.
My thoughts exactly. (I had the 45 rpm single)
Just think, we could've pushed so much further. Instead we decided to collapse in on ourselves.
We gave up going to Mars like 40 years ago. Probably for the best. I've heard the rivers caught on fire 20 years before that.
Can't take people anywhere.
1955 that's when I was born trust me we will never see 2525
I remember loving this song as a kid in the 70's
Sounded so clever and great song overall
I know they have nothing to do with each other, but this song (which my older brother turned me on to when I was very young) always reminds me of The Time Machine with Rod Taylor, one of my favorite movies.
No better song can describe the times we live in right now.
Amen to that.
TRUTH! 😥
China is exactly this rn lol
@@jessicajohnson8631 It's not just China.
@@Aerojet01 ik but china has way more robot stuff going on over there than most countries.
I watched Metropolis, once. Now I've seen some of the more prescient, disturbing imagery again. Always liked this song, now it's married to the perfect imagery.
It's almost year 2525 and we're still alive. Yay.
This is the scariest song I’ve ever heard
Agreed, I'm particularly spooked by the "ain't gonna need your teeth" line
It was scary back in the day, but its terrifying in today's world!
You create what you fear.
Don't let fear ever enter your consciousness. What you focus on you will manifest. Focus on love. So many people are awake now to the Truth that it won't be long before humanity is going to set things right. Believe it, we're in good hands!!
We ignored Huxley, we ignored Orwell and of course ignored Zagen and Evans. Therefore we will get, "the great reset"
This was supposed to be a terrible warning, not advice.
Excellent answer, well done
Problem is people are not heeding it this is all coming.
This is allready happening. There is a shift in human consciouness. P
It's only 2024...... Another great song from a long time ago!
What year did you write that post in?

I am 63yrs old and I remember listening to this song as a child. I just simply loved this song...It had something in it...It was the truth about our future...Is it not so today and its 2021...

Ever seen the "dayz of noah" channel ? This song is Totally prophetic. Time travel is relative. Are we done with "wuhan 400" yet ?
I'm 55 and can genuinely say, I feel deeply sad for humanity in 2021.
I'm 66 and feel exactly the same
Don't be sad, very few generations can say about themselves that they fucked things up as much as yours did
@@BelviGER You should have said: F***ed things up LIKE NOW !
I concur.
you are suffering from nostalgia. take a moment to consider how far society has progressed since you were younger (medicine, communication, information, geopolitics, rights etc) and be happy. People who think 'things' were better before are stuck in their own memories. Probably have some deep regrets
My grandma just recommended this song to me, love it.
501 years to go...yet we're aleady there
The 1927 movie Metropolis had special video effects that were way ahead of it's time. Excellent use of scenes from the movie along with the music!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Building actual sets and models take a long time and money. But they tend to have a better look. Think the original dune costumes and inside sets, or original blade runner. Cgi has it's place like in outer space or dinosaurs. But a lot of stuff that could be done with real sets, just looks really fake with CGI it seems very lazy and cheap. Digital sensors can't complete with film quite yet. They remastered this film, look how good it stands up to video especially from they first changed over. Tv programs shot on video lets say in te 90s look horrible to say even Bonanza shot on film. Especially when remastered to modern video standards. I can only imagine how good the original film looks.
Looking for this movie
@@carriedominguez6921 It's up for rent or purchase on Amazon - amzn.to/2WVixCm
Looks so real in time
The older this gets the more prophetic it becomes
💯💥 true
no, please no, don't say that!! :'(
So true and dumb man is well on course
A smart man.
And dreade shal be the age when word progres become curse and future bring only place full of despair.
I've shared this to so many friends who "get" the connection to Metropolis. Just so perfect. Thank you thank you thank you.

Being 72 years old, I have seen a lot. That being said, I'm not sure we will make it to 2525 much less 10,000 years. I have always enjoyed this song, even though it is a little dark.
Agree sound very dark
I can't believe people even worry about things like 10000 years from now. People are just another critter in a long parade of critters to go extinct. No biggie.
I remember a time when we all assumed nuclear war was a given, not an if but a when. When they drop the bomb it will all be over.
People don't realize how the Cold War was a key change in history. It was the first time that apart from religious beliefs, the End Of the World was a real possibility. We could really do it and we still can and now we'll always be able to.
But we got through. Maybe it's always going to be like that, and people will find a way to muddle through one day at a time.
The song has more meaning today. But we are not going to make it. We are well into the Sixth Mass Extinction Event. We are also experiencing a Civilisation Systems Collapse. I'm in the same age bracket.
@@robertfletcher3421 chill my guy. Nobody knows the future. We maybe alive for only 20 years or 10,000 years. We maybe living in an extinction event or we may not. People have predicted the end of humanity for centuries and yet nothing has happened. For example, people predicted the end by nuclear war and yet, we made it through. Don’t believe everything the media or politicians say about the future because they sometimes tend to over exaggerate things. Look, what I’m trying to say is that even if the end is near or not, we should enjoy everyday of our lives like it is the last, because we don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
This is 2022/23 and this song is reflective of today's society.
So is Game people play by Joe South
Still fresh! VANGUARDIST! AND GENUINE!
I remember listening to this song as a teenager. It gave me a very bleak view of the future and left me with a crappy feeling. I am 70 now. We're just about there right now. A.I. technology is very dangerous. Either things will change or the human race won't make it. Forget about 2525.

This was a masterful pairing of two dystopian classics. The scary thing is that as I was growing up, they were just Sci-Fi visions of a possible future that would never arrive. Now, near the end of my own life, I can see those days arriving.

In 1969, this song was a prophesy. Now, it is a dire warning!
you will not live to see the year 7510
This prophetic song ends with...
"In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find"
The word "man" is used as a reference to mankind, not men..
And now today, no one can define what a "woman" is. Woman are being erased.
How did these song writers get this so accurate?

@@TheWieger01 damn I sure hope not
As a kid this song was a bit scary. Now it seems it was prophetic.
This song, Fire by Arthur Brown, and Some Velvet Morning by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood all used to frighten me as a child.
Yes...prophetic...and time keeps coming, faster and faster...
"Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.' Percy Shelley.
Choosing scenes from the silent classic Metropolis was genius on your part! Directors of today should all watch a few silent films and learn a thing or two about artistry and expression.
their way of expressing things is so of its time and fascinating. The scene with the men pondering over the tower of babel looking structure really stands out
2525 we will be lucky to see 2025,

i HEARD THIS SONG FOR THE first time in Germany when I was 13 years old like you have been. So you must be 63 or 64 years old but this realy doesn`t matter. I wish you the best for you and your dear ones. I am sorry for my bad english. By the way, now I am living in Thailand for about 2 and 1/2 year. Many Greetings where ever you are.
Hey fellow old folks, same here - turning 64 this year (in the year 2021). Seems like this is turning out to be a remarkably prescient song, wouldn't you say? If they came up with an eternal life option I would politely decline at this point.
@@andreasschicke8493 My friend, I do not know you yet because of the Internet-I feel as if I’ve known you for years! I’m in the state of Ohio. You said you are now living in Thailand. Maybe Bangkok? Anyway you express yourself well. We are all fellow travelers on the River of Life. At times the current will be slow or stagnant. Other times it will be fast and turbulent. But onward we go to the conclusion. And then? As a Christian I know the answer to that and what must be done now. I think you and many do too. May the Almighty God be with you and your loved ones as well. Peace
@@usaturnuranus I hear you-prescient indeed. That 13 year old is alive and well in all of us because he or she is part of us. I think a little prescience would would have very useful back then. As you turn 64 may you do so with good health and wits along with the love of those special to you.
I'd have been 12 (ish!) and I can honestly say that this song MUST have been written with input from a greater power... ;-)
Perhaps the most famous one hit wonder of all time.
it's 2024 and i love this song! ❤
This is genuinely one of my favourite videos on RUclips, whenever I think of this song, I think of Metropolis and whenever I think of Metropolis, I think of this song and that is extremely high praise
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Your welcome!
@@RocasRocks ?
The song is so relevant to today's world. 😢😢😢😢🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
No Doomsday...we all survive..
Hi hello there, your Absolutely right, Zagar and Evan's song in the 2525, Although where not quite there as of yet, mike LONDON UK
See also BALL OF CONFUSION by the Temptations. ✌✌✌
Sure it is unless you’re cynical
Metropolis was so far ahead of its time. It's almost ahead of _our_ time
It will be ahead of the times way ahead of ours
true
I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing it in our lifetime.
So true
almost ahead? A blind mans' view.
This song terrified me as a child, I just heard it on the radio and still gives me chills, incredibly prophetic, we're on our way for sure 😞
Anyone getting shivers?
This song is such an unsettling prediction of a future that I hope we never see.
Agreed.
JsaBuilds sits nearly here.not long now
To Live is an Act of Courage
“I saw not my own courage in dying, but his courage broken by the loss of me. So I said to myself, ‘You must live’. Sometimes even to live is an act of courage” Seneca (4BC-65AD) #suicideawareness
It's so depressing!
The future is here ...
The year 2525 has arrived a lot sooner than everyone thought.
of course when this song was written the internet was just a pipe dream.
It's not here yet!!
Sure! 505 years from now is practically right around the corner!
Yall didnt get the metaphor
@@josipananas1220
Your funny
Imagine having a manager who declines a Woodstock invitation 😳.
Now they only had this one hit song, but what a song it is!
❤I dedicate this song to the only man I have ever truly loved. Good times and rough times. He is always there 😊❤❤❤
Love is strange and a Blessing ❤❤😊❤
I remember this song so well. I believe it was 1969. Not many of us ever thought this would come true. Now we are seeing the coming of this!
In 1969 I could not imagine being here in 2022 and I'm damn sure not going to be here in 25 25 thank the Lord
Very true, it is coming a lot earlier than 2525...
Summer of 1969. 2525 is here!!
Looked into geting the book. Just did not have that kind of money.
@@elmastro-ye9lw ok, Go read To To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
Kind of underestimated it by five centuries, Zager and Evans, but you did predict it. It's already here.
This song is something we need to take seriously the way things are going around us today
How fitting this song is, considering the world we live in now. Salutations to the year 2525, from 2023. I hope there's still someone alive then.
I used to listen to this in the Nam. I turned 21 over there Nov 4, 1969 on guard duty on bunker 9 on Camp Eagle. A tune with a lot of memories and meaning for me. Stay well folks.
Happy birthday 🎂
Even if people back then didn't appreciate what you did (Even if it may have not been by your choice), I want to say now thank you for putting your life on the line. I'm glad you made it back home. Be well.
Brigitte Helm, the actress playing the Robot/Maria in Metropolis survived until 1996. She was 90. She was 20 yrs old when she made the movie.
She did her contracted 10 years in the film industry then married and settled down in Switzerland. Not many get out of the industry before it's too late.
"My whole film career is a matter of indifference to me. I would much rather be a housewife: to cook, bring up children and look after my husband."
- Brigitte Helm
She was astonishingly beautiful. What more needs to be said.
i loved the song as a child and still love it and 2025 was soooo far away and now i will experience it
It’s 2525 not 2025 a 500 year difference lol
Listing to this in 2023 and it still scares me 😢
In the year 2021, Metropolis has not been redone. The original still holds strong, cgi would be so wrong.
Starring Lupita Nyong'o as Maria.
Doesn't need to be 'redone'. Will be reality soon.
In the year 2022, we truly are through. Animals are going extinct fast, and all because of the price on gas. Woah!
I agree!
This will be played at humanity’s funeral
My wife just bought me a Zager guitar and I’m learning all about Denny Zager and Zager and Evans. And I love my new guitar! Thanks, Denny!
This song is a sad prediction for humanity.
People in 1927: in the future we gonna have machines doing everything for us
People in 2021: go bacc I wanna return to monke
Uhm, it's not actually machines doing the work in the movie, it's slaves.
WEF.
World is retuning to monke
Some people will go back and some people will go forward that's up to them monkeys have more fun while we making all this useless stuff anyways toys and stuff that we really don't need that pollutes the world
@@bogusmogus9551 well if existed for millions and millions of years don't you think this already happened already that goes to monkey to modern to monkey to modern remember destroyed a few times already
Who else is banging this in 2020 whilst beeing still alive?
It is 2020, I'm banging this but I'm doubting that I'm alive anymore...!
Still here.
Right there with you! Humans are quite the interesting species.
Nope I died 7 years ago. Greetings from 6 ft under.
@@dimitrivukasin6867 anyways have a good time down there
THE VIDEO for this song. It was No.1 in Germany when my best friend was born...i listen to it daily to honour him and the fact that i m allowed to know him and share our time beeing guests on this planet. I cry a billion tears of joy ...and i will love him till eternal night ends . From him to Eternity ❤...Best wishes from Hamburg/Germany.
Lost my best friend too...know how that feels...
This song scared me when I was younger... Now it's 2023!!!
When I first heard this song at age 13, I assumed that humanity was wise enough to avoid such calamity. Now I'm not so sure. Have mercy on us.
@bowecho - LOL Yeah . . I remember hearing this song when I had to go to summer school that year. Got up to #1 in L.A. in July 1969. Also remember listening to the radio, how the song meaning use to freak people out.
@@oldschoolrr6077 now is all real so real
The writers knew better.
Lets work for a future that is sustainable and worth living
yes scary
You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too, from the bottom of a long glass tube. How prophetic was that 😮
It wasn’t prophetic, it’s planned by “them” it’s old technology being brought out to use against us. Seriously.
Yes. All started with Louise Brown.
Won't need a husband, won't need no wife
@@kingkoi6542 One of my kids was made that way (through IVF). Not exactly a "long glass tube." More like a petri dish.
@@theeclectic2919 I think the concern comes from trying to pick and create "perfect" children, so they are grown and tailored in glass tubes. I wish you and your family all the peace and blessing!
All this is already happening. I think they were really singing about 2025. Get ready.
I remember hearing this song on my 16th birthday. I was sat up in bed, having had a lie in, a little birthday treat for myself when "In the Year 2525" came on the radio. So apt was the fact that at very moment, I was reading the science fiction story, "The Machine Stops"!
It's like seeing both the future and the past at the same time. Unbelievable.
So true
yea
the movie is from the 1920s and the song from the 60s
Well said; a rather dated silent movie with its grim, sometimes frantic visuals combined with the pessimistic angst-ridden song are perfect.
♥✞♥Jesus Christ is Lord.Hallelujah
i'm a Soldier for The Lord!
i'm Truly Blessed though weak.
On September 27th 1990 i was assaulted which put me in a coma
[Mom was a Prayer warrior & my exgf kimsaw!]
i sat up & said Jesus twice.
He Changes me inside out and Continues to Daily!
Whomsoever shall call on the Name of The Lord shall be saved.
Were His messengers♥✞♥✞♥
“He’s taken everything this old Earth can give and he ain’t put back nothing.”
That is so true today
I am glad I am 56, pity the teenagers today, nothing to look forward to only a world destroying itself, thanks for the last 100 years of progress, progress towards oblivion
NO WE have!
And whose fault is it that the world is crappy for teenagers? Their parents, grandparents, the baby boomers. Their fault
Same here
Mr. Beast says otherwise
Glad the full version of Metropolis was restored for this video to be made.
This has always been the creepiest song of all time for me. You have captured exactly what goes on in my head!
Props. Live long and prosper . . .
This was prophetic gospel. This is where we are at now in 2022.
Fritz Lang is a genius and this song is terrifying. Brillance on part of the songwriters and performers.
I im ok i oo że oo😊😮😅o😮
@@wojciechwisniewski1947 🎉😂
In the year 2510 if God's a comin he oughta make it by then he'll look around this whole earth and say Guess it's time for the Judgement Day
Who else is listening in 2526!? Timeless classic!
One of the all time greatest! A great shame they never released another hit like this.
Scarry how we already have most of the stuff said in the song.
True
It makes you wonder about the year 1million and 1/2. Will people be enslaved by giraffe?
@@josephclegg3562 humm, and i ask my self why it's the only silent animal ? Interesting, they are preparing smth
My thoughts exactly
When I first heard this song in the 70’s it was science fiction.
Listening to it now... it’s scarey
We got literally nothing of that stuff tho
Metropolis (1920s) is one of the best science fiction films, after 100 years the foresight of a genius like Fritz Lang is clear.
yes! and queen bought it, for radio gaga!

Der Film stammt aus der Feder und dem Geist seiner Frau. Er hat ihn nur auf die Leindwand gebracht.
Nun fragen wir uns wer war diese Frau Thea von Harbou das sie in die Zukunft schauen konnte ?
Sie wurde vom F..... sehr begünstigt.
This song brings back great memories thank you so much 😊
Everything in this song is already happening even the endtimes.
This movie is Metropolis, a silent movie worth watching
i`ve seen the full re-master its brilliant.👍🍻
I was wondering, thank you.
This song is a masterpiece and even more meaningful today than ever before.
PEOPLE DONT YOU HEAR THE MUSIC LYRICS , WE ARE LIVING THREW THIS 😊
one of the most profound rock songs of all time
