Zager & Evans - In The Year 2525

I have a distinct love/hate relationship to a large part of the music of the 60ies: It draws me in to listen but the more I listen to it the more I tend to ponder the fact that nothing really has changed since. Take "In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)" by Zager and Evans for example: the song bemoans how humanity becomes more and more dependent on technologies. That was in 1968. Almost 50 years ago. And still, humanity becomes more and more dependent on technologies ...
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday ~



In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)
Zager and Evans

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
