This book crosses the literary, musical and artistic references that have influenced the work of the singer-songwriter and closes the volume 'La palabra exacta', an essay on the secrets of basting lyrics and melody in the sung verse.

A song evokes the time when we discovered it. To the one who has written it, it returns to the precise moment in which it was created. Her texts portray the intimacy of those quiet days between tours in which apparently nothing happens and in reality everything is happening. They are also testimonies of a career that has crossed decades, borders and styles with an incorruptible lucidity.

Why has my brain decided that it is worth preserving so many details of those innocuous scenes, in which I am almost always alone, and not others connected to much more important life moments? How is music interwoven with my survival as an animal? While someone answers me, I am going to entertain myself by pulling the thread of some songs to see where they take me. Sometimes it's the exact moment I wrote it, and sometimes it's the day I recorded it with the circumstances surrounding that recording.

I keep some workbooks to complete the reconstruction. What happens once the song is recorded is blurred. Once edited, the song ceases to be mine - the evocative charge is complete for me - and becomes that of others, who come to tell me years later that this or that song is interwoven at a certain moment in their lives. It gives me great satisfaction to know that these songs have become entangled in them as well."
