EP out in Australia, for U.S. in a few hours

[michelej1]

While the "slow down baby" part certainly borrows from Show You How, musically and lyrically, I don't think the rest of It Takes Time does. To me rather than being a ripoff or retread, it's more of a nod to SYH and the message in that song about finding love and life after the lights go down. I don't know the notes used to see if they copy SYH beyond the "show you how" part, but it doesn't sound the same to me.

So, Miss Fantasy is the one with the piano ending.

the whole chorus of It Takes Time is ripped from Show You How.


Would sound light years better with Christine on the piano. [The piano playing reminds me of a Stevie demo, just different chords. ] Really highlights what's missing from the band. : (

Nice to have something new but overall I personally find it hugely disappointing.

Despite the griping - I have to say I never thought when they reunited for the Dance that 16 years later, even in small doses, they might still release new music. So grateful! That's longer than the period of time they were originally in the band. Of course we've only had the one album (with as many stevie and lindsey tracks as FM and Rumours combined) the Live in Boston DVD/CD and the one ep but still 38 years after joining the band and 26 years after it looked like they had split...

You mean it's the same notes, chords? Obviously, I hear that underneath the "show you how" sentence, but didn't notice it in the rest of the chorus. Although, I see you guys saying so. I don't hear it. But I don't hear that TITN is ISA either, so . . . I have to take the word of the musicians here.
