Song information
This song chiefly happened as I had been checking out Thomas Dolby's "The Golden Age Of Wireless," which, in my opinion, might well be one of the best 80's synth pop albums ever made. What really hit me hard was the song, "Airwaves," which is a super cool song and lyricwise seems to either be about being addicted to a radio broadcast or the actual life of one. I thought to myself, what if there was a tune that was about the life of a computer app or program or the song was sung from the perspective of such a thing. There's a lot of effects in here which was me trying to emulate the style on that album. The falsettos in the chorus, I think, were inspired by Jeff Lynne's vocal style with ELO. The name of the song comes from the model of TV we had when I was a kid. It was a Zenith System 3. Simply added a number. Originally recorded in 2018, it has been recently, for the most part, rerecorded and redone.

I like the progression of this song from what I at first thought was going to be a singer songwriter thing with a guy and his guitar, to a nice double tracked vocal and then whole orchestrated work, sounding dreamy and wonderful.

I really like this song. Though the 80s is the decade of my youth I cannot remember this song. I will have to check out that album you mention sometime. Your version is super well produced. You have a wonderful bright vocal. And lovely work on the piano also

Thank you for the kind comments and listening KennethLavrsen, but just so you know, this is an original tune and not a cover. Thomas Dolby was merely the inspiration for the song.

Fine tune. Nice concept, and what I here is a nice melding of classic 70's rock and pop hits that I have always enjoyed.
