Barbra: Look I've spent a lot of time working on this[00:00:05]

Producer 1: Look no one's gonna buy it -- no one [00:00:07]

Producer 2: No one in Middle America anyway That's for sure [00:00:10]

Producer 3: He's right [00:00:12]

Producer 1: Sweetheart it's just not commercial [00:00:13]

Barbra: What is commercial [00:00:14]

Producer 2: It's not what's selling nowadays [00:00:15]

Producer 1: I mean - personally I love it but[00:00:16]

Barbra (sung):Be nice girl [00:00:18]

Producer 3: Nobody's into this kind of material [00:00:20]

Barbra (sung): You have to pay a price girl [00:00:21]

Producer 2: This album needs a hit single we can push [00:00:23]

Barbra (sung):They like to give advice girl [00:00:25]

Producer 1: The whole idea's too risky [00:00:26]

Barbra (sung): Don't think about it twice girl [00:00:27]

Producer 2: The audience won't understand this kind of thing [00:00:29]

Barbra (sung):It's time to get to work [00:00:30]

Barbra(spoken): I disagree Why don't you wait until you hear it [00:00:30]

Producer 3: This is like your old stuff [00:00:31]

Barbra (sung): Art isn't easy [00:00:32]

Producer 3: You've got to appeal to the kids [00:00:32]

Barbra (sung): Even when you're hot [00:00:37]

Producer 2: Why would you want to make an album like this anyway [00:00:39]

Barbra (sung): Advancing art is easy [00:00:42]

Producer 1: I think we ought to talk seriously about this [00:00:43]

Barbra (sung): Financing it is not [00:00:45]

Producer 2: Why take chances [00:00:45]

Barbra (sung): A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head [00:00:45]

Producer 1: Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do but[00:00:46]

Barbra (sung): If no one gets to hear it it's as good as dead [00:00:47]

Producer 2: You have to think about you career [00:00:51]

Barbra (sung): It has to come to life [00:00:58]

Barbra (sung): Bit by bit putting it together[00:01:01]

Piece by piece only way to make a work of art[00:01:02]

Every moment makes a contribution[00:01:04]

Every little detail plays a parts[00:01:05]

Having just a vision's no solution[00:01:08]

Everything depends on execution[00:01:10]

Putting it together that's what counts [00:01:11]

Ounce by ounce putting in together[00:01:13]

Small amounts adding up to make a work of art[00:01:16]

First of all you need a good foundation[00:01:22]

Otherwise it's risky from the start[00:01:24]

Takes a little cocktail conversation[00:01:25]

But without the proper preparation[00:01:26]

Having just a vision's no solution[00:01:27]

Everything depends on execution[00:01:28]

The art of making art[00:01:29]

Is putting it together bit by bit[00:01:31]

Producer 2: Do we really need all these musicians [00:01:39]

Barbra: Link by link making the connections yes we do [00:01:40]

Drink by drink taking every comment as it comes[00:01:45]

Learning how to play the politician[00:01:46]

Like you play piano bass and drums[00:01:47]

Otherwise you'll find your composition[00:01:52]

Isn't gonna get much exhibition[00:01:54]

Art isn't easy[00:01:55]

Every minor detail is a major decision[00:01:57]

Have to keep things in scale[00:02:02]

Have to hold to your vision[00:02:04]

Producer 1: Why don't we talk about this over dinner darling [00:02:07]

What's a little cocktail conversation[00:02:10]

If it gets the funds for your foundation[00:02:11]

Every time I start to feel defensive[00:02:12]

I remember vinyl is expensive [00:02:14]

Producer 3: Would you agree to do an interview [00:02:15]

Barbra: Maybe one [00:02:17]

Dot by dot building up the image[00:02:18]

Shot by shot keeping at a distance doesn't pay[00:02:21]

Still if you remember your objective[00:02:25]

Not give all your privacy away[00:02:27]

A little bit of hype can be effective[00:02:28]

As long as you can keep it in perspective[00:02:30]

Even when you get some recognition[00:02:32]

Everything you do you still audition[00:02:33]

Art isn't easy[00:02:36]

Overnight you're a trend[00:02:37]

You're the right combination[00:02:41]

Then the trend's at an end[00:02:42]

You're suddenly last year's sensation [00:02:44]

All they ever want is repetition[00:02:46]

All they really like is what they know[00:02:49]

Gotta keep a link with your tradition[00:02:51]

Gotta learn to trust your intuition[00:02:53]

While you re-establish your position[00:02:54]

So that you can be on exhibit [00:02:56]

So that your work can be on exhibition [00:02:58]

Be new girl [00:03:01]

They tell you till they're blue girl [00:03:02]

You're new or else you're through girl [00:03:07]

And even if it's true girl [00:03:10]

You do what you can do [00:03:12]

Bit by bit Putting it together[00:03:15]

Piece by piece working on the vision night and day[00:03:22]

All it takes is time and perseverance[00:03:25]

With a little luck along the way[00:03:28]

Putting in a personal appearance[00:03:31]

Gathering supporters and adherents [00:03:33]

Producer 1: Well she's an original [00:03:35]

Producer 3: WAS [00:03:36]

Barbra: Mapping out the songs but in addition[00:03:37]

Harmonizing each negotiation[00:03:39]

Balancing the part that's all musicians[00:03:39]

With the part that's strictly presentation[00:03:42]

Balancing the money with the mission[00:03:43]

Till you have the perfect orchestration[00:03:45]

Even if you do have the suspicion[00:03:47]

That it's taking all your concentration[00:03:49]

The art of making art[00:03:51]

Is putting it together bit by bit[00:03:54]

Beat by beat part by part[00:03:57]

Sheet by sheet chart by chart Track by track bit by bit [00:03:59]

Reel by reel pout by pout[00:04:02]

Stack by stack snit by snit [00:04:04]

Meal by meal shout by shout[00:04:05]

Deal by deal spat by spat[00:04:06]

Shpiel by shpiel doubt by doubt[00:04:09]

And that Is the state of the art[00:04:11]
