[@elliegee7334]

Dystopian to the max. One of the most haunting songs ever. This song never fails to give me chills down my spine.

[@kevinhodgins1811]

It's crazy to think that this song is 55 years old. Prophetic.

[@thorgt8197]

Excellent breakdown of this song

[@anthonyblakely399]

Loved this song when it came out! Love it when I first heard it on the radio...... and it did give my generation speculation of the future.

[@richardgreen9330]

There was two singers,, I read that one of them would have dreams and the next day he would write it down and that's how he came up with that song.. Listen to the song very carefully,,, And notice what's going on today..👍👍👍

[@AliasMark69]

Imagine you are a young teenager and this song, The Viet Nam Song, For What It's Worth and Eve Of Destruction are playing on the radio. Makes you look forward to the future. You have done all those songs. Cool

[@AliasMark69]

This song blew our minds when it came out. I know I suggested it over a year ago. Glad to see it done. GREAT CHOICE.

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Had this 45 as a kid... handed down to me from my parents. It always sent a chill down my back. And now... to think it's all coming true. This video that goes along with this brilliant song was added recently and does it no favors. You're better off listening with your eyes closed and letting your imagination take over. Subscribed.

[@LBinsocal]

Been waiting for you to discover this song! Mind blowing

[@robertstoner8244]

U have the best way of doing reaction video 📸.

[@robertstoner8244]

Right on 💯😁

[@threekidzmom04]

An EPIC song from 1969! Hard to imagine!!

[@AliasMark69]

A True Classic. I must Spark Up my Pipe and enjoy this one.

[@tonyGALLO2361-j8u]

[@GrandmaShirley-op4jm]

Joining you.

[@llschnitz]

There is a wonderful video that goes with this song. It’s tsrrifying.

[@GreggoMusicChannel]

Man! I had forgotten about this song and that it is 2025! Time gets by before you know it. Thanks! Be well, Greg

[@williamjones6031]

Here's a OHW I haven't heard since 1977. This song played over the radio in my Consumer Ed class and constantly brought me into my science fiction books. Maybe that's why I only got a D. 🙂

[@dennisflury6942]

Nice reaction!

[@aardvarkhole]

This song was released during the peak of the Vietnam War. The Environmental Protection Agency was formed in December 1970. At the time, there were almost no controls on anything that polluted the air, soil, and waterways, and there was no recycling, except for returnable glass soda bottles. The Clean Water Act was instituted in 1972. A very weak Clean Air Act was signed into law in 1963, but had no teeth to do anything significant. Imagine this song in that context and it’ll make more sense.

[@TheMikeman1971]

Very cool tune love these type songs !

[@williamblakehall5566]

Thank you for this! Way back when I was an eight-year-old boy obsessed with science fiction, this song blew my mind, it was for a while the coolest song on Earth. Zager and Evans get called "one hit wonders" but I bought the album and enjoyed other songs on it. The song "Taxi Man" had a touch of social commentary, "Fred" was darkly comical, and they had a rather mysterious but pleasant love song named "Cary Lynn Javes." For me the verse about 9595 hits hardest -- yes, people are more aware of the Earth than they used to be, but will it be enough? Not just tigers but elephants and rhinoceroses could still die out fairly soon. Thanks for the shout out to WALL-E. If you're interested in movies, two leap to mind. Everyone remembers George Lucas for giving us Star Wars, but before that he came out with a smaller movie called THX 1138, which echoes a lot of this song's vision. An excellent movie about people getting their lives determined at birth because of their DNA is Gattaca. Yeah, I know, weird titles -- THX 1138, Gattaca -- but they are worth looking up.

[@DominikKelly-vh9kv]

great choice,been years since ive heard this

[@Ozarkprepper643]

Thanks for listening. The dates were arbitrary. But they do kind of rhyme. When the song first came out many people were creeped. Yet despite it being much of the Technologies we have today, we knew it was coming because it was currently being worked on. Consider corporations do not always introduce what they discover. And many times by the time it makes it into production they're already on to the next. But you won't see it till they recoup their previous investment. 🤠🐂

[@carolynmorrissey1630]

Was scary at the time, even more now that lots of it has already happened

[@ivansavoie3190]

Still 500 years from now,

[@AliasMark69]

Don't worry JM, we'll be long gone before any of this happens, Have a Splendid Day

[@bugvswindshield]

wow, I hadn't heard this one in a while. Reminds me of reading Asimov. :)

[@kellydelay18]

This song was so mysterious back in the day

[@richardgreen9330]

I read one of those singers would have dreams at night and write them down the next day.And that's how they came up with that song..

[@dow311]

This song gave me nightmares. Still does.

[@beadybaby]

I played this on 45 over and over as a kid. then futurama made it real...

[@lilamuzik3385]

Have heard this song many times....I graduated HS in 1964......have seen so many of these come to pass already. AI is going to blow everything into the next phase of won't need arms and legs from disuse. We need yhe pill so we will stay anesthetized to our situation. Scary shit....and we are on the precipice of seeing the next phase of living with AI

[@AliasMark69]

None of the pills I took ever fed me any thoughts, but they sure had a powerful influence on them and my reactions.

[@donnamikola48]

Another though-provoking song that will scare you is EVE OF DESTRUCTION by BARRY McGUIRE.

[@kentclark6420]

The question remains, is mankind at fault? How could we have known a million years ago when our brains were barely formed, what would cause damage to the Earth, and ourselves on the whole? By the time we were more advanced and more populated, we were still in the dark about the hazards we posed by our consumption. Then it was too late, because we had to do what we could with the limited technology we had in order to survive. And survival also drove us to compete, and wars.

[@Isleofskye]

Terrifying if you watch this , like most reactors, with the usual video of a film made in 1920's...lol

[@kidpoker007]

This is NOT the offical video unfortunately

[@AliasMark69]

"Everything You Think Do And Say, Is In The Pill You Took Today"... and you are a 14 years old who just took a Hit of "Orange Sunshine" LSD

[@laurencaulton103]

Not 2025. It's 2525.

[@AliasMark69]

I'm feeling a "Double Shot" of Santana doing "Searching" and "She's Not There" together.... Request In Patreon. just because they are that damn good together.

[@Isleofskye]

"Black Magic Woman" is a rare example of 2 brilliant versions:Fleetwood Mac's original Blues Group and Santana:)
