I think It Takes Time is a much more intricate song than any of the This is 40 contributions. I mean, even aside from the production, if you strip all four songs down to the core, I think It Takes Time would be more thoughtful and complete than the other three and it has more variation and, I think, development, from one segment to the other.

Now, I can see Lindsey taking the This is 40 songs and making them into something quite different from what they are on the record if he did them live acoustic. I would look forward to that. In fact, I thought that's what was going to happen when he appeared at the Roxy. I thought he'd do the This is 40 tracks, but I was mistaken.
