Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on TH-cam, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on TH-cam. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on TH-cam, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

We are well underway toward almost everything in the song.
Little did they know it came a lot sooner~
These guys missed it by 500 years. But nobody woulda' believed it if they had written, In the year 2025, if man is still alive, if woman can survive!
Doesn't rhyme
The first test tube baby was born less than 10yrs after this song in july 1978... always loved the song i was 7 in 69
yea, a bit sooner than 6565. Jessica I think is her name
@cjgeel1 Louise Brown I was fascinated by the story I was almost 16 and remember all of the news stories and people talking all sorts of garbage about this test tube baby
and we shouldn't be playing God it was crazy
This song was on the radio constantly in 1969. Everybody had a different songs and different views and ideas for songs. This is a good example.
I turned twelve in 1969. That summer of ‘69 (in large part due to the music) was possibly the best of my life. Whenever I reflect back on that summer from world events to personal experiences the music is ever present and connected. And this song was a part of that.
Great song, a great request, and a great reaction!💜
One of the most memorable songs of that era. I was 9 years old when it came out and will never forget the meanings and impact it had on me and most people of that tine.i believe that many people realized what man was doing to the earth and fellow human beings. Us kids thought we could change all that though we just became our parents with so much regrets!☹️
This song scared me when I heard it on the radio as a kid.
I grew up in the 60s/70s and my parents thought my generation's music was so "weird" and meaningless. They couldn't hear the messages of love, peace, understanding or forward thinking. They didn't recognize the genius of songs or the bands that played them. It was beyond them. I'm so thankful that I grew up with the music I did. It kept my eyes (and ears) open to different views and reality. Thanks for your reaction, Shawn. Take care and be well. Peace.
Denny Zager has been making guitars for years and he is retiring now. I own of his guitars. Plays nicely.
Wow! I've heard this many times as a young child. Never "heard" the words until today! Eeriely, accurate.
We always appreciate your thirst for knowledge of the music that you react to ❤❤❤
I was 14 when this came out. I had the ’45!
Year of the moon landing. I remember it well.
Another one I haven't heard forever
This is a prophetical song. Love your reaction! ♥
Relatively new subscriber here and I absolutely love watching and listening to these songs with you. Keep up the terrific work, friend, and thank you for making these.
The video that was done with footage from the silent film "Metropolis" is perfectly adapted. Much of it is a cautionary tale of what can and will happen if not careful, and some things have already happened.
This song came out around the time of the moon landing. The war in Vietnam was going on while being protested at home and the Cold War was a concern for everyone. It wasn't long after the Civil Rights Act passed. And there was Kent State, etc. A couple movies of the time included "Planet Of The Apes" and "2001, A Space Odyssey" and "Lost In Space" was one of the popular TV shows. This song was a reflection of the times.
I do remember this song when it was out, but I have never seen this video of Zager AND Evans. The line about 'your arms hang limp by your side, some machine does it all for you' kinda freaked me out, a very bleak future for mankind. And I don't mean Mick Foley, LOL. A great cup of coffee request, Thank You.
I think the studio recording was dubbed over this live performance
Great one hit wonder 👍
Great Song.
- Another "hidden" gem from the 60s :)
awesomeness
6 weeks at #1 !!! That is a very long time in the summer of 69. Amazing. Yeah, people were talking that summer -about lots of things. Moon landing… Woodstock.. Nixon… VietNam.
For more forward thinking you should listen to Paul Harvey " If I Were The Devil " . Mr Harvey had a radio show every day back in the 60's. You will love his insight to the future.
My God!!! 70=year-old-Hippie, who's loved this song since it came out..........but how in the world DID I NOT KNOW that this song was recorded in the town I grew up in!????
I was born and raised in Odessa!!! I have always been almost unbeatable with Boomer-era music and culture trivia, but I did not know this song was recorded there!!!!
As I think and read more about it, it really astounds me to think that I was never aware of this; I mean, I can imagine that every Odessa AM radio DJ MUST have made reference to this fact, every time they played the song - which was A LOT!!!
I mean, yes, there was a LOT going on in the/my world at the time, such as the moon landing and my 16th birthday and my drivers license and my first car. my first real boyfriend, and more. But still, all things considered, I just am flabbergasted that I didn't know about this bit of trivia!!!!
Gotta thank you and your generous requester for this one, and for teaching this old know-it-all Hippie something new!!!!😊
As for the content of the song? Obviously, it's all happening much faster than the song predicted!
I have lived here in Odessa since the 1980s and never knew this song was recorded here either!
I was still in grade school when this came out and this song was very intriguing to me. Even as a young girl it made me think. Great review and great request!
This was very heavy to a young guy of 10 years old!
Another precautionary tale is Red Skies At Night by The Fixx.
How about Lunatic Fringe!!!
King of the World by Steely Dan also in the same genre.
I had the 45 RPM of this song as late as the mid 1970s. Then I moved to another town and never saw it again. I have no idea where it went.
Zager is still with us and he produces some of the best guitars out there . Check out Zager guitars. I love mine and they really are easier to play and sound wonderful. He still plays guitars (he played and signed mine).
That's pretty awesome!
We see how the world is today with "cancel culture" and AI. This song was way ahead of its time! I was 11 when this came out. Great reaction as always! 🤠
That song always made me sad. Heard it as a kid and throughout my 67 years. I do worry about the future for the children of today and their children.
There is a amazing video made from old movies that is very good accompaniment to this song
Written just as the analog era was coming to an end, combined with the rise of the digital age. I was 11 when this came out, I considered it Science Fiction Rock.
Producer Tommy Allsup of Texas played in Buddy Holly's band ten years earlier. He lost a coin flip with Ritchie Valens for a seat on that doomed flight "the day the music died."
This is the weirdest song to ever go to number one on the billboard charts. Summer of 69.
You haven’t heard it yet Barry Maguire, Eve of destruction, same era late 60s
I never saw the artists before, I always saw the video that was used.
Ya the video you are talking about was clips from the 1927 film "Metropolis"
Great song, isn't it? When it came out, it blew our minds and gave us chills.
"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." Well, we've done that already, taken from the earth, disrespecting the earth and not giving back, and look at what our ecology is, all messed up
🤩
❤💯
Good song & singers!👍👏👏👏🩷🩷
Shawn, some days you pick great songs, one after the other! Strange, prescient song(big word🤣)
This song gave me nightmares.
When this song came out, I was fascinated by it. It makes you think about mankind. I've always thought that greed was the root of all evil, and that might take us down eventually. Having said that, I also think that the generations going forward will do what's right, cheers.
I love this song bro! I'm now eagerly waiting for your reaction to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song!
You need to check out the video version of this song... !
Still freaks me out.
This was all of it!
This song has always been fascinating to me. it never fails to bring a chill to my spine. Great reaction, Shawn. ❤🔥Here's a new female artist to give a listen, if interested. "Natalie Merchant - Carnival" (by the channel: Natalie Merchant) --Natalie Merchant is an American singer/songwriter. She first began singing with a band called "10,00 Maniacs." She joined the band in 1981 and remained with the group for their first seven albums, before leaving in 1993 to begin her solo career. I thought I'd leave a suggestion of her performing with "10,000 Maniacs" as well. Just in case you'd like to hear them too. "10,000 Maniacs - Don't Talk" (by the channel: Natalie Merchant) [Alternative rock, jangle pop, folk rock.] I have missed enjoying your insightful reactions. Thanks for sharing.
👍👍💯❤️🔥
Watch the video with the 1920's German film Metropolis!
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎
Thx for the reaction... one of my favorite songs ever! Terrible dubbing, tho. lol
I was getting ready to hit 2nd grade in the summer of 69...😅😅😅
💫 Shawn, During the same period of time, I believe, was a song by THE BUOYS called TIMOTHY. Given Joe Biden's recent claim regarding his uncle, this song came to my mind.
and another one hit wonder!!
Love the 60's but the video version with the 1920's movie is better to me somehow.
Consider also this was summer of the moon landing. JFK committed the USA to that goal before the end of the decade and it was achieved. So with this in mind people felt like anything possible through technology. Then this song comes along and made us pause to consider just because it might be possible is it wise.
True.....except the song came out shortly BEFORE the Moon Landing.
This is one of those songs that I QUICKLY tune to another station when it comes on the radio!
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.
It’s not 2025 yet. It could be over by then
The song refers to the year 2525.........not 2025. But still......it's all coming to pass as we speak.
Biggest one hit wonder #1 for 6 weeks.
SUMMER OF 69 by Bryan Adams is a great song.
Thanks, Leticia! I do have that one recorded and coming up on the channel in the future
don't forget AI it's around the corner !
I was just about to say that!
Shawn...just listen to these lyrics. That is all I'm going to say.
Should watch the video for this song. Gives the song an even creepier vibe. Great song though!!
