I don't know what it means to me exactly, but I have this vision of a completely - or nearly completely - abandoned Earth. Maybe a steven-king-esque virus has killed off all of humanity, or maybe we've just all gone somewhere better, but in any case, there's a radio transmitter powered off some very stable and long-lasting source (water cooled solar panels?) and a timer, and every day at 3 PM it plays this song. And then it's not quite so sad that everybody's gone.
Obviously the 'original' Voice Of America was a powerful shortwave station sponsered by the American government to spread pro-american propiganda. But I stronlgy doubt that's what the song is about, since I don't think they ever broadcast in stereo..

I actually really like your idea on what this song is about. Makes me want to write a story about it to be honest.
