Barbra:Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this | |
Producer 1:Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one. | |
Producer 2:No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure. | |
Producer 3:He's right! | |
Producer 1:Sweetheart, it's just not commercial! | |
Barbra: What is commercial? | |
Producer 2: It's not what's selling nowadays. | |
Producer 1: I mean - personally, I love it, but | |
Barbra (sung):Be nice, girl! | |
Producer 3: Nobody's into this kind of material. | |
Barbra (sung): You have to pay a price, girl! | |
Producer 2: This album needs a hit single we can push. | |
Barbra (sung):They like to give advice, girl! | |
Producer 1: The whole idea's too risky. | |
Barbra (sung): Don't think about it twice, girl! | |
Producer 2: The audience won't understand this kind of thing! | |
Barbra (sung):It's time to get to work! | |
Barbra(spoken): I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it? | |
Producer 3: This is like your old stuff! | |
Barbra (sung): Art isn't easy. | |
Producer 3: You've got to appeal to the kids. | |
Barbra (sung): Even when you're hot. | |
Producer 2: Why would you want to make an album like this anyway? | |
Barbra (sung): Advancing art is easy. | |
Producer 1: I think we ought to talk seriously about this. | |
Barbra (sung): Financing it is not! | |
Producer 2: Why take chances? | |
Barbra (sung): A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head! | |
Producer 1: Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do, but | |
Barbra (sung): If no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead! | |
Producer 2: You have to think about you career! | |
Barbra (sung): It has to come to life! | |
Barbra (sung): Bit by bit, putting it together | |
Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art | |
Every moment makes a contribution | |
Every little detail plays a parts | |
Having just a vision's no solution | |
Everything depends on execution | |
Putting it together, that's what counts! | |
Ounce by ounce, putting in together | |
Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art | |
First of all you need a good foundation | |
Otherwise it's risky from the start | |
Takes a little cocktail conversation | |
But without the proper preparation | |
Having just a vision's no solution | |
Everything depends on execution | |
The art of making art | |
Is putting it together, bit by bit | |
Producer 2: Do we really need all these musicians? | |
Barbra: Link by link, making the connections, yes we do! | |
Drink by drink, taking every comment as it comes | |
Learning how to play the politician | |
Like you play piano, bass and drums | |
Otherwise you'll find your composition | |
Isn't gonna get much exhibition | |
Art isn't easy | |
Every minor detail is a major decision | |
Have to keep things in scale | |
Have to hold to your vision | |
Producer 1: Why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling? | |
What's a little cocktail conversation | |
If it gets the funds for your foundation | |
Every time I start to feel defensive | |
I remember vinyl is expensive! | |
Producer 3: Would you agree to do an interview? | |
Barbra: Maybe one! | |
Dot by dot, building up the image | |
Shot by shot, keeping at a distance doesn't pay | |
Still if you remember your objective | |
Not give all your privacy away | |
A little bit of hype can be effective | |
As long as you can keep it in perspective | |
Even when you get some recognition | |
Everything you do you still audition | |
Art isn't easy | |
Overnight you're a trend | |
You're the right combination | |
Then the trend's at an end | |
You're suddenly last year's sensation! | |
All they ever want is repetition | |
All they really like is what they know | |
Gotta keep a link with your tradition | |
Gotta learn to trust your intuition | |
While you re-establish your position | |
So that you can be on exhibit... | |
So that your work can be on exhibition! | |
Be new, girl! | |
They tell you till they're blue, girl! | |
You're new, or else you're through, girl! | |
And even if it's true, girl, | |
You do what you can do! | |
Bit by bit, Putting it together | |
Piece by piece, working on the vision night and day | |
All it takes is time and perseverance | |
With a little luck along the way | |
Putting in a personal appearance | |
Gathering supporters and adherents... | |
Producer 1: Well, she's an original! | |
Producer 3: WAS! | |
Barbra: Mapping out the songs but in addition | |
Harmonizing each negotiation | |
Balancing the part that's all musicians | |
With the part that's strictly presentation | |
Balancing the money with the mission | |
Till you have the perfect orchestration | |
Even if you do have the suspicion | |
That it's taking all your concentration | |
The art of making art | |
Is putting it together, bit by bit | |
Beat by beat, part by part | |
Sheet by sheet, chart by chart Track by track, bit by bit, | |
Reel by reel, pout by pout | |
Stack by stack, snit by snit, | |
meal by meal, shout by shout | |
Deal by deal, spat by spat | |
Shpiel by shpiel, doubt by doubt | |
And that... Is the state of the art! |
