David Byrne - (The Gift of Sound) Where the Sun Never Goes Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Not everyone notices
As things drift slowly in and out of focus
Being in the theatre is more important than knowing what is going on in the movie
The sound in the theatre is very loud
It builds up beacause it can't get out of the theatre
The actors talk
We can still hear what they said a minute ago
This happens in any closed room – sound never leaves it
If someone goes out to get some soda or popcorn
Some conversations escape as they leave and enter the lobby
When the movie's over
And everyone leaves the theatre
The accumulated sound leaves with them
And spreads out across the parking lot
To become forever part of the landscape
The film is a gift to the surrounding community
