最近站方在徵文【如果回到1913年,你想遇到?】得及思索回到去,忽然地想起首言未的《In the Year 2525》。
我一直有想不懂,何首歌能在1969雄踞排行榜冠位置六周之久?歌曲的旋律嘛,除了中有升外,似乎也特殊之,歌者的唱功好像也不怎,那剩下的就是歌了。危言式未生活的描述,在於警告科技的限制展境的予取予求,只人失自我及不幸。或因而受到大的目、省思和肯定吧。
首歌是Rick Evans在1964所,1968Denny Zager以二重唱合推出,但行的唱片公司 ( Turth Records ) 只是域性的小公司,後台的播放流,很快的被RCA唱片公司下全性的,歌曲因此一炮而。Zager & Evans人合於1971解散,而自始至,他也就只有一首曲。
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 lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
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 are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing 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' Whoooa
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to 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 then
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 wondering 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 10,000 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
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may thrive
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today ....(fading...)
