Literary Hub shared a conversation between Garza and her translator.
Jeff Tweedy talked to the Chicago Tribune about his book How To Write One Song.
"I tried to instill the notion that a song can be anything. If we define a song for ourselves as a moment that we intended to create — that’s what I think a song is. It’s something that you want to hear again, and it’s even broader than that. It’s figuring out a way to make your kids laugh. I think that’s a song. It’s an intentional act of creation using your own imagination."
