Garbage's latest album, 'Let All That We Imagine Be the Light,' resonates deeply with listeners, featuring lyrics relatable from the first listen. Frontwoman Shirley Manson shares her struggles following a hip replacement and the isolation she felt while recovering, leading to a remote collaboration with the band. Despite the physical and mental challenges, such as brain fog from medication, the band successfully crafted an album that debuted during an impressive UK gig. Manson recalls the incident that led to her injury while conveying a sense of vulnerability and strength throughout her journey.
"I felt really isolated. My band are not communicative at the best of times, and I was completely cut off from them."
"No, I say firmly, one fiftysomething to another (she is 58), I don't relate to that at all."
"I was thinking about lyrics, I was thinking about my body, and I tumbled into the security barrier."
"The physical recovery is surprisingly easy, she says. I mean, there's a lot of indignity involved."
