Billy Bragg - The Science of Songwriting

Steve Lamacq

Available for over a year

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. Here, Billy Bragg peels 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.
