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 BBC 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.
