The Science of Songwriting - Billy Bragg
Lammo warms up for Roundtable and also continues his look at The Science of Songwriting - Billy Bragg joins to discuss how to write a love song.
From euphoria to misery, music has the ability to change people's minds and lives. With help from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4's Claudia Hammond, Steve investigates the science behind what makes our brain sing. Thursday sees Billy Bragg peel back the layers of emotion in his song-writing and expose how a collection of sound-waves can move people. He tells Steve how to write a love song, what should come first, the music or the words and if there is a typical way he would compose a song of love.
