A secular Franciscan & student of René Girard reflecting on how we desire according to the desire of the other.
"Most High, glorious God, cast Your Light into the darkness of my heart, and grant me a right faith, certain hope and perfect charity, sense and understanding, Lord, so that I may know and do Your holy and true command." - St. Francis of Assisi: Prayer before the Crucifix

In The Year 2525 - 2 Remix versions from the year 2020
2 Haunting Covers of 'In the Year 2525'
First Remix: video featuring 'In The Year 2525'- Zager and Evans - Cover - Remix - Pete Stark
"COVID19 has taken over the world in 2020. We are going through a massive lock-down.
How is life after COVID-19? Is mankind still alive in the year 2525?"
Lyrics:
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 hangin` limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine 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
In the year 7510
If God is 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 kind of 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 throught 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

Director statement:
The way that the old, folksy sound contrasts the dark, dystopian lyrics and how the mercurial descriptions are so susceptible to visual interpretation, forced us to contemplate the current state of the world. We were specifically drawn to how the verses related to scientific/technological advancements and worked to manifest them into a look that is undeniably retrofuturistic.
