Deep dives
Nick Lowe's Love Starvation song inspiration
While recording with the Straight Jackets in New York City, Nick Lowe felt the need for a song with a specific tempo. Upon returning to the UK, he woke up with the idea of the song title Love Starvation, which then wrote itself. Lowe admitted that he writes every day, although not everything he comes up with is good. However, when inspiration strikes and he has a fresh idea, he goes into a focused writing trance until the song is complete.
