Only 60 years and the lyrics become true.......!!!! Amazing!
I'm 71 now and I listen to this in the early 1970 it's a real History lesson thank you
I still listen to it a good song even today
Believe it or not back in 69' on average.... they cared more about each other and the future of our planet than people do today ! 🌎
BINGO! I was a senior in H.S. in 1969. Back then music was designed more to make us think. Nowdays we live in a very selfish world. Back then people were by far much more concerned about our planet. When you have so many who are uneducated all this is very low on the totem pole. Unfortunately. I'm thankful I won't be around to see it.
@@simon2077 Concerned is different than actions, just because you shut your eyes and wont see doesnt mean nothing is happening. If any of you really ever cared about our planet it wouldnt be in this condition the first place.
Zager and Evans was an American duo and this song came out around the time I was a junior in high school which was 1969. I love this song. When you are that young you don't think about how gloomy they are picturing the future, you just love the music and keep singing. Now being a LOT older the lyrics seem to mean more as some of it seems like it may be our future. Thanks for this one. Brings back lots of memories.
Excellent response. Couldn't agree more. Haven't seen this particular video but the imagery goes well with the haunting music.
Same here. I automatically loved it but didn’t especially pay that much to the lyrics way back then. I still love it and now it all makes sense.
Its a warning pay attention 2 it !
Who would have guessed that 2 teenagers from Nebraska could see that far into the future.
What a good reaction , I was working in a butcher's shop in 1969 in Wales. u k and this song came on the radio, I could not get it out of my head, now its 2023 and I regularly listen to it. All the best from Gorslas South West Wales. U K. :)
The lyrics are so haunting. I heard this song in the 60's. The lyrics have stayed with me since then.
Man ,your wife has this song down... She's right on target. Awesome reaction.✌️
The video is from the 1929 silent movie "Metropolis." This great and haunting futuristic song on the coming downfall of mankind was written and performed 54 years ago. Was written back in 1969 and performed by Zager & Evans in 1969 too. It is one of the most clairvoyant and prophetic songs ever written. It boggles my mind of how prophetic they were in this song and how many of their predictions have come to pass. Great reaction to one of the greatest classic songs ever written.
This song came out in my day..And you have to come and realize..It's all in God's hands..Focus on that !!!
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.
they were a 1 hit wonder, i was 11 when this song was released in summer of 1969.
"If woman can survive"? Today there is even an argument about what it means to be a woman. This song was almost prophetic in nature. It is extremely moving and powerful in its message. I would imagine a lot of people are intrigued if just hearing for the first time in the current world environment. 🇨🇦🥇🔥👍🎯💖
The lyrics are absolutely spectacular but the music is actually matching it!
In 1969 there was a large group of people who were concerned with social issues... The environment etc.
The song is from '69. The video is edited copy of the movie Fritz Lang's Metropolis, a silent film in 1920's. Yes, how did they know a hundred years ago? Because similar things were happening on a smaller level
You both are gentle souls, love all your reactions.
That was my reaction when i first heard this song, how did the know because it's happening already.They talk about man in 10,000 years and yet we already know that this planet is dying and we are all living now on borrowed time.
It's like an Orwellian style song (George Orwell) using song lyrics and visuals to send a message to the listener. Thank you for the song choice and reaction. Have a good day.
I remember hearing and liking this song which came out in 1969. what a delightful Flash from the past this was, sad and dark though it is.
I grew up listening to this music on the radio. The Vietnam war was going on. Space travel was going on. I was 12 years old in 1969 when I heard this on the radio. Thanks for the video. What was going on in the world back then made this song apropos.
This is one of my favorite songs of the late '60s. I've been listening to it for over 50 years! Nice to see you feature it among your reactions.
Good morning my friends. I too have never heard this song before and it is going to stay with me also. I want to thank you both for sharing these moments with us. There are those of us in this world who have no one in our lives that are interested in discovering such things with us. I don't say this to be pitied, but to let you know that finding your reactions have brought so much joy into my life. Seeing your love and respect for each other and for the music and artists that create it is absolutely wonderful. I thank you both for letting us see your journey together and for letting us come along. Take care always.
Hello Brenda! So glad you like the song and our video. We are very pleased that you enjoy what we are doing in here. Hope you'll have a lovely day! 😍😍😍
THIS SONG CAME OUT ON July 12, 1969. I WAS 12.🖤💜🤎❤💛💔💔💔.
The video is from a 1920s German expression film called. Metropolis. By Fritz Lang
I remember when I first heard this. My brother had the 45 record, I knew even as a kid the lyrics were haunting. So powerful, thought-provoking & can be applied every single decade. So glad y'all discussed the meaning of this .
And to think they have found humans that are 10,000 years old. I also remember this when it came out, I was 14 getting ready for high school. You just sing along til one day it hits you. There was a lot of great music come out of the 60s. Does anyone remember Sock hops and bubble gum music?
Metropolis the silent film was done in the 1930s and was ahead of its time re the making of robots. The film is a great start for the song. 1969 was the year my husband, who is now dead, and I made this song our own IVF is tge same as choosing your own child from a glass tube. So many divorces now so many people don't think they need a spouse. We are being told to be worried about climate change and are not to be seen in the countryside or rural areas only in cities. These are just a few things the song is suggesting. That is why both are still relevant.
Metropolis is from 1927
Dark, dark song, but I've loved it for years. Prophetic.
the video is from an old, old movie called Metropolis by director Fritz Lang, which was about the future, and that vid was made in the '20's
The video are clips from a German film made in 1927 called Metropolis the song 40 years later how well they go together
Rick Evans wrote this song to warn mankind of the dangers of technologie..it was 6 weeks #1 in American Billboards..back in 1969..
1969...... adelanta la tecnologia , ciencia excelente tema , estaba en secundaria cuando la escuche por primera vez excelente recuerdo un grandioso tema
I loved watching you both and your wifes reaction was brilliant. You have a cool Mrs.🌻
Really appreciate your perspective on this...
Your reaction shows the same uneasiness I feel each time I listen to it...
Zager guitars are not only beautifully crafted but their playability and sound are superior to most (if not all) top brands. Maybe in the year 2525, and if I'm still alive, I'll be able to afford another one❤.
This song came out in the late 60s. So much of what they predicted is happening today, machines have taken over many of the jobs and we take pills to alter our moods. This was a time when the first sheep "Dollie" was cloned.
I had heard and appreciated this song since it came out in 1969, but I had never seen the video. I would say the question is not how could they predict so much of the future, but how we missed all the clues in the speculative films from the 20's. There was a lot of hope in the 60s about changes in the future, especially if we were warned of a future without those changes. Seems they could have started with "I the year *2025*
I was a teen when this came out. It was on the heels of the tv show Star Trek. I remember singing along to this. Still enjoy it but amazed at the insight. TYFS
I love this version of the video of "In the Year 2525" using scenes from the fantastic silent dystopian movie "Metropolis"; of course in 1969 they didn't make a video for the song so we just heard the audio and made up visions in our head. There is another version that I'm quite fond of which uses scenes from the movie "Lucy". I like both that one and this one.
The Movie in the Video was made in 1925 and the song In the year 2525 was recorded in 1965 the really told about the future
this always has been 1 of my favorite songs. I remember listening to this in my Dad's truck on an 8-track tape. it is amazing how even 53 years ago they actually said a few things that have sort of happened....and looks like we are headed toward it.
I was in 5th grade when this song played on the radio. It quickly became one of my favorites.
The movie is Metropolis (1927). Considered by many as the first true Sci-fi movie. A landmark film of the time.
A song from the past. Made to our days....or to the future to come
This came out a LONG time ago. I was in High School, late 1960's.....................
This song was released summer of 1969, it was all over the radio when my parents, sister and I took a month long road trip across the U.S. I had just graduated from Kent State University, and this song gave me the creeps.....not a great future. It STILL gives me the creeps. The video is scenes from the 1920s silent movie "Metropolis" which was about a dystopian future. I have seen the movie and it is creepy too, but very interesting
I feel the same way. I have heard this song, maybe 60 or 70 times, and still has some eerie, disturbing effect. I think that it actually scared me when I first heard it as a young teenager. It is completely unique. I never thought of it that way, but you are right that the lyrics and melody clash, which makes it more powerful.
Your wife was so on point when she said that when we’re younger we’re not able to understand the message, it’s so true. Another song with a deep meaning is Pink Floyd’s Time, never grasped the message till later on in life.
I took note of this song when it first came out, I'm that old, and it has been one of my all time favorites all these years. One of those where it seemed like someone was seeing the future.
Agreed! Thank you for sharing! 😊

I believe the main message of this song is what happens when people think that mankind should be determined by science, not by a moral/ethical foundation and framework. Just because we can do something through science, doesn't mean we should.
I was 10yrs old when this song came out. the music is so amazing, even to this date. But the lyirics have become so fightening these day. song makes more sence now than then to me. God Bless Us all
. One of my fav songs of the times.
#1 for several weeks!
Remember it in 3rd grade. Played it on music day for my class. Even back then it was profound in my young mind and in some ways influential.
Was actually written by Rick Evans in 1964 ,first produced in 1968
Oh my gosh this was blast from the past!! I was only 8 when this song came out, but I remember listening to it when I was a teenager and honestly, not much since then. Wow...thank you so much for doing this one!!!
Grew up with this song in the '60's. Didn't understand what they were talking about back then, BUT now makes more sense. Their idea of the future, pretty much dead on. Great song!!!
I am 70 yrs old during this time when this song came out, we were not sure of the future, will history repeat itself?
Lol I’m from the future, and your Chanel is still going strong
This is a great song. I was a baby when this came out and I have lived it ever since. The lyrics are indeed very gloomy, I think it was written as a cautionary tale. If we don't straighten up this will happen. Unfortunately, as is true for most of these warnings, it has been ignored and we are moving too rapidly towards this bleak prediction. You can look to the past and see the future, humans tend to live the same story without learning our lesson. I loved your reaction, and this is a wonderful song. I enjoy how expressive you are., I have to say, if English is not your native language, I am quite impressed with your fluency. You are well spoken no matter what.
Thank you so much for your kind words! And we agree with everything you said said above about how the world going in a very dark direction, but us people are missing all the signs. This song is timeless! Can be easily applied to today's world! Have a nice day and stay safe! 😊
I heard it 1970
The 1927 movie was added to the music many many many years later after 1969 they were put together to make this music video.
The ending is what is most powerful. I'm writing this one week until Earth Day. What has man taken from earth, what have we put back? Only our dead bodies.
First time watching your CZcams channel- and I actually was perusing all the video presenters such as your wife and you, and came upon two incredibly, socially relevant songs from the 60's. This one, was released in 1969, and the two individuals (Zager and Evans) who recorded this one hit wonder, (but a masterpiece nonetheless) were like a streaking comet in space, as their releases other than this one, never registered on the charts. The other song, which, you both will enjoy, is a song released in 1967 by an individual named Barry McGuire, called "Eve Of Destruction". Please locate that one, if for no other reason than to enjoy yourself. I loved the sincere interchange between both of you- very encouraging to see and hear.
Boy does that song bring back a lot of memories. I think I have an old vinyl 45 of this somewhere. Yes it was a pretty depressing kind of song and of course at 16 we couldn't even think of being around in the year 2022? 🤣
I bought this record in 1969. Loved it then and I still love it for all the reasons you've said. 👍👍
The video consists of clips from the silent movie "Metropolis". The song is 65 years old.
I remember hearing this as a very young child, such an upbeat musical background to extremely serious lyrics, as a toddler I liked the song, as a 50+ it’s scary. But the condition of the world is scary.
this song came out in 1969 when i was 12 yrs old
I was ten years old when this song came out. I loved it then as I do today. Everything they sang about was a warning of the things to come and it’s been and are being manifested today. I would say that we as human beings have fast tracked this song cause of technology. We’ve fast tracked it by five half a century almost that it’s mind boggling to think that we have cell phone and other electronic gadgets for our convenience today. From test tube babies to AI and robots and soon flying cars to blue beams and talks about going to Mars and space travel its just unbelievable how quickly we’ve pushed the envelope. And to not forget and adding God in the song is letting us know that there is still hope. And hope will save us from this world.
the video are segments from a movie called `metropolis'
The visuals are taken from the Fritz Lang silent movie METROPOLIS, which you must watch.
The song 2525 was released in 1969.
for me to think of the "future" i'm thinking 5-10 years. but to think 10,000 years into the future is mind boggling. the 1st time i heard this song, i became a fan. great reaction to a great song! 👍
The song was released in 1969.
To understand this song you must know the era, and preferable lived it to feel what it mimicked to some. It addressed so many humanitarian issues that it was universal to adaptation.
This was a powerful song to many young men. Eighteen years old and about to be kidnapped into military service. Indoctrinated patriotism. Sinfully accomplished with an unethical lottery that left the affluent children untouched. Powerful men in America found a reason to hate enough to 'fabricate' a war. The war machine agreed. Every boy needed a uniform, a weapon, and ammo. 'Bodies for Bullets' profit was more important than life. (still is today) This song asks for reasoning. The dead look for God's retribution. This song appears to relate in how long that can take.
When I saw Dominica's facial and head shake reaction (7:40 ) to "Maybe it was only yesterday?" it spoke for her. Maybe it is only yesterday?
If humanity doesn't wake up from this mechanical slumber it's in .... yesterday becomes today.
LSD allows you to see the future 😉😅🤣 I Love it ! The song that is 😉
All young people need to watch this video as a warning. But I fear the Genie is out of the bottle.
This song came out the same year I entered Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, NE, where Zager and Evans attended and met each other. The song was on the radio and has been in our minds ever since. Interestingly, not much reference to Zager and Evans on the campus, which I visit a couple times each year. No need, in a lot of people's head.
Not bad for a couple of farm boys from Nebraska!!
It's starting to become popular again because what they said is becoming truth in some way or another.
Interesting contrast is the black and white film they used for this song was a juxtaposition because those scenes came from the 1927 movie, "Metropolis", which was a very long silent movie about a robot that could steal the hearts of men and corrupt them.
05:41 ... And there Lies the Million Dollar Question ... Who are these ...
Love the Reaction (!!) ...

Loved song, very popular in Perú at that time.
We already can pick our children. Machines have taken 1000's of jobs. Using your arms and legs to drive, cars can drive themselves. Make a meal in seconds. Taking pills for a while because it is easier than trudging through life with no goals or ambitions. Etc....
Released in 1969. Fun fact: 1+9+6+9 = 25 ...Two contributing musicians, Q.E.D. 2525
Я обратил внимание, что люди НЕ СЛУШАЮТ МУЗЫКУ и ТЕКСТ, а комментируют видеоКЛИП!
Эта песня настолько крутая, что , ОБЫЧНО, не заходит с первого раза...ведь смотрите в суть, в философский посыл автора...вот это круто - увидеть будущее из 1969г!!!!
I’m pretty sure that you were already told, but man, you look exactly like young Saruman! By the way, one of my all time favorite songs!
Old it’s the truth more now than then a future they want us to have
i memorized every word to this song and still know them verbatim.
it made a lot of people wake up to the price of their actions
The video was an old movie, the song was edited to movie later by by someone on you tube
Such a cute couple!
You guys are funny as hell I was laughing the whole time😂
I was a l child when this came out. I didn't understand the lyrics, but the music scared me for some reason. Now i am so much older i love the music, but the lyrics terrify me because i think the only thing they got wrong is the generous timescale.
I have to say I am really enjoying your channel. You have such a wonderful European view point which is so refreshing for an American of a certain age. Where are you guys from.
Hello and thank you kindly. I'm Polish and Andrei is Romanian 😊
I really enjoyed your reaction to a great song! the song was so insightful and scary!
Whoever decided to pair the video with this song is an absolute genius. The lyrics themselves are creepy, ominous, and disturbing, and so is the video. Paired together, they are a bit terrifying, especially the part where the corpses are playing pan flutes like some kind of demonic pied piper. Terrible warnings about the dehumanization of technology, reminiscent of when Robert Oppenheimer, one of the creators of the first atomic bomb, who when witnessing its detonation, famously quoted a Hindu scripture and said, "“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds".
The video uses scenes from fritz Lang's 1927 classic film metropolis
Hello, the song was made in the 1960's and the film was made in the 1900's. The film it is showing, how men and women know live with lies, how civilization goes to work acting like robots. All ways taking pictures of ourselves. How we look at our phones, more then to communicate with the world. How men and women dress itself. Also, how we as human have departed our self from God. Also, how we rely on technology. If you look around, you will see everything that is happening. That is being showed in the video. It's very sad to see humanity coming short with kindness.
👏👏👍👍
Metropolis! Silent film from 1927!!
And in this oryginal film there was a videocall :o , in 1927...
Those earbuds you are wearing. I made a set of those in 1972.
The film you are watching is made in Germany and it is called Metropolis. It is a silent movie but was very powerful for the audience. Some of the lyrics in the video are actually coming true now. When they mention about machines doing things for people this already happening for example computers, tablets and phones are able to order and send things to your home by pushing a few buttons. I just wanted to say hello from Canada!
The pictures from the movie "Metropolis" 1927.
