Who would have guessed that 2 teenagers from Nebraska could see that far into the future.

Only 60 years and the lyrics become true.......!!!! Amazing!

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 !  🌎

I'm 71 now and I listen to this in the early 1970 it's a real History lesson thank you

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.

This is one of the most prophetic songs ever written. 🇬🇧

"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. 🇨🇦🥇🔥👍🎯💖

It’s very thought provoking! Your future is in your hands and God is watching!!

The lyrics are so haunting. I heard this song in the 60's. The lyrics have stayed with me since then.

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.

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. :)

In 1969 there was a large group of people who were concerned with social issues... The environment etc.

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.

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.

Rick Evans wrote this song to warn mankind of the dangers of technologie..it was 6 weeks #1 in American Billboards..back in 1969..

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.

Dark, dark song, but I've loved it for years. Prophetic.

The lyrics are absolutely spectacular but the music is actually matching it!

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.

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.
