Putting It Together(Live)

[00:03:35] Barbra: Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this

[00:03:35] Producer 1: Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one.

[00:03:35] Producer 2: No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure.

[00:03:35] Producer 3: He's right!

[00:03:35] Producer 1: Sweetheart, it's just not commercial!

[00:03:35] Barbra: What is commercial?

[00:03:35] Producer 2: It's not what's selling nowadays.

[00:03:35] Producer 1: I mean - personally, I love it, but

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung):Be nice, girl!

[00:03:35] Producer 3: Nobody's into this kind of material.

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): You have to pay a price, girl!

[00:03:35] Producer 2: This album needs a hit single we can push.

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung):They like to give advice, girl!

[00:03:35] Producer 1: The whole idea's too risky.

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Don't think about it twice, girl!

[00:03:35] Producer 2: The audience won't understand this kind of thing!

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung):It's time to get to work!

[00:03:35] Barbra(spoken): I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it?

[00:03:35] Producer 3: This is like your old stuff!

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Art isn't easy.

[00:03:35] Producer 3: You've got to appeal to the kids.

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Even when you're hot.

[00:03:35] Producer 2: Why would you want to make an album like this anyway?

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Advancing art is easy.

[00:03:35] Producer 1: I think we ought to talk seriously about this.

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Financing it is not!

[00:03:35] Producer 2: Why take chances?

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head!

[00:03:35] Producer 1: Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do, but

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): If no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead!

[00:03:35] Producer 2: You have to think about you career!

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): It has to come to life!

[00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Bit by bit, putting it together

[00:03:35] Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art

[00:03:35] Every moment makes a contribution

[00:03:35] Every little detail plays a parts

[00:03:35] Having just a vision's no solution

[00:03:35] Everything depends on execution

[00:03:35] Putting it together, that's what counts!

[00:03:35] Ounce by ounce, putting in together

[00:03:35] Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art

[00:03:35] First of all you need a good foundation

[00:03:35] Otherwise it's risky from the start

[00:03:35] Takes a little cocktail conversation

[00:03:35] But without the proper preparation

[00:03:35] Having just a vision's no solution

[00:03:35] Everything depends on execution

[00:03:35] The art of making art

[00:03:35] Is putting it together, bit by bit

[00:03:35] Producer 2: Do we really need all these musicians?

[00:03:35] Barbra: Link by link, making the connections, yes we do!

[00:03:35] Drink by drink, taking every comment as it comes

[00:03:35] Learning how to play the politician

[00:03:35] Like you play piano, bass and drums

[00:03:35] Otherwise you'll find your composition

[00:03:35] Isn't gonna get much exhibition

[00:03:35] Art isn't easy

[00:03:35] Every minor detail is a major decision

[00:03:35] Have to keep things in scale

[00:03:35] Have to hold to your vision

[00:03:35] Producer 1: Why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling?

[00:03:35] What's a little cocktail conversation

[00:03:35] If it gets the funds for your foundation

[00:03:35] Every time I start to feel defensive

[00:03:35] I remember vinyl is expensive!

[00:03:35] Producer 3: Would you agree to do an interview?

[00:03:35] Barbra: Maybe one!

[00:03:35] Dot by dot, building up the image

[00:03:35] Shot by shot, keeping at a distance doesn't pay

[00:03:35] Still if you remember your objective

[00:03:35] Not give all your privacy away

[00:03:35] A little bit of hype can be effective

[00:03:35] As long as you can keep it in perspective

[00:03:35] Even when you get some recognition

[00:03:35] Everything you do you still audition

[00:03:35] Art isn't easy

[00:03:35] Overnight you're a trend

[00:03:35] You're the right combination

[00:03:35] Then the trend's at an end

[00:03:35] You're suddenly last year's sensation!

[00:03:35] All they ever want is repetition

[00:03:35] All they really like is what they know

[00:03:35] Gotta keep a link with your tradition

[00:03:35] Gotta learn to trust your intuition

[00:03:35] While you re-establish your position

[00:03:35] So that you can be on exhibit...

[00:03:35] So that your work can be on exhibition!

[00:03:35] Be new, girl!

[00:03:35] They tell you till they're blue, girl!

[00:03:35] You're new, or else you're through, girl!

[00:03:35] And even if it's true, girl,

[00:03:35] You do what you can do!

[00:03:35] Bit by bit, Putting it together

[00:03:35] Piece by piece, working on the vision night and day

[00:03:35] All it takes is time and perseverance

[00:03:35] With a little luck along the way

[00:03:35] Putting in a personal appearance

[00:03:35] Gathering supporters and adherents...

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

[00:03:35] Producer 3: WAS!

[00:03:35] Barbra: Mapping out the songs but in addition

[00:03:35] Harmonizing each negotiation

[00:03:35] Balancing the part that's all musicians

[00:03:35] With the part that's strictly presentation

[00:03:35] Balancing the money with the mission

[00:03:35] Till you have the perfect orchestration

[00:03:35] Even if you do have the suspicion

[00:03:35] That it's taking all your concentration

[00:03:35] The art of making art

[00:03:35] Is putting it together, bit by bit

[00:03:35] Beat by beat, part by part

[00:03:35] Sheet by sheet, chart by chart Track by track, bit by bit,

[00:03:35] Reel by reel, pout by pout

[00:03:35] Stack by stack, snit by snit,

[00:03:35] meal by meal, shout by shout

[00:03:35] Deal by deal, spat by spat

[00:03:35] Shpiel by shpiel, doubt by doubt

[00:03:35] And that... Is the state of the art!
