Zager & Evans - In the Year 2525
Beschreibung
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.

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
Für die damaligen Verhältnisse, ein wahnsinns Film ! Und die Musik ist auch klasse.
In dem kurzen Einspieler waren so viele Symboliken, der Turm zu Babel, der nun FERTIG GESTELLT IST. Das Pentagramm, die künstliche Intelligenz, die neue Religion.
Urlaub in virtuellen Welten (ich weiß, dass es so kommen wird, weil die Natur völlig kaputt ist und sich auch kaum einer mehr das echte Reisen leisten kann). Wir werden in einer Illusion leben, entmenschlicht von uns selbst. Und es wird immer noch 2 Klassen geben.
Die Oberschicht und die Unterschicht.
