Airwaves is by far my favorite Thomas Dolby song. Didn't get nearly the attention it deserved.

One of the early hits that made Thomas Dolby one of the New Wave stars of the 80’s

This is a hidden gem from the 80s. Captures the early 80s in particular so well.

I have vivid memories of his greatness from my childhood, though it’s taken me this long 41 years later to get into his music now, this track is on my repeat list currently, what an incredible example of synth and electric music to come ❤

21 yo. OMG, who else can write like this. He took analog synths to a new home. Musical genius. Bruce Wolley and the camera club, Foreigner, Lena Lovich, Thank you TRMD

Brilliant track, the whole concert was awesome. I loved Tom's contribution to Live Aid with Bowie,who knew he had a genius on keyboards.

Lyrics: Strange how the scale forms In tiny patterns On my antenna And the Five O'Clock Show, 'Hello hello'... Brooklyn is crawling with famous people I turn my vehicle beneath the river, west from south Through the airwaves People never read the airwaves Do we only feed the airwaves? I really should've seen through the airwaves... Electric fences line our new freeway Here in the half-light, the motorhomes leave, eh-o, eh-o Knee-deep in water under a pylon How slow my heartbeat How thin the air I'm breathing Through the airwaves People never read the airwaves Do we only feed the airwaves Or stamp them out at street level? Airwaves-dampness of the wind The airwaves-tension of the skin The airwaves Control's enabled the abandoned wires again, but The copper cables all rust in the acid rain That floods the subway with Elements of our corrosion Cabled in to me Yeah, cable them to me Cable them to me Be in my broadcast when this is over Give me your shoulder, I need a place To wait for morning No, it was nothing-some car backfiring Please don't ask questions I itch all over Let me sleep Through the airwaves People never read the airwaves Do we only feed the airwaves? Or stamp them out at street level? Airwaves-dampness of the wind The airwaves-tension of the skin The airwaves I really should've seen through the airwaves People never read the airwaves Do we only feed the airwaves? Or stamp them out at street level? Airwaves...

I love this song and this live version is a good as the studio's. Wonder if anyone could clarify this: at 3:36, playing the Roland Jupiter 8 , Thomas Dolby hits repeatedly the split button from Keymode section, and we hear a percussive synth sound. Was the Jupiter 8 really able to do that?

Where's the excellent Cloudburst On Shingle Street & why wasn't it included in Live Wireless ? ? ?
@blueroses79353 жыл бұрын
Agree; that's my favourite from the album (along with Europa), so it would be nice to see it performed live. Surprised it's not included in a concert film from that time.

I would be really disappointed if I was at this show and heard this stripped down version.
