Begin Again (2013) Soundboard Edit

A guy like that falls on his lip for a couple of years,

Absolutely, that's when the magic happens.

Ah, he's home.

Ah, you had them. You wound him up.

All these banalities,

And I had. And...

And I know that there's a lot of people

And I was thinking we can get the first track

And I wasn't celebrating tonight.

And I'm not Judy Garland just off a Greyhound bus

And I'm telling you, it's exactly what that

And now the police! Come on, let's go.

And then I found God.

And they were gonna spend the rest of their lives together.

And...

Because I know him.

Boo boo, you know how to pick 'em, boy.

But, you know, ultimately, that's... that's up to you.

By an amazing songwriter and an even more amazing woman

Can I keep this? Show all my friends?

Clean out your locker.

Closing up about this audio commentary piece.

Come on in, guys.

Dano, what's up, man?

Did you hear about that, Katie?

Did you?

Every song we do in a different location.

Everywhere.

Fill in the guitars underneath.

Fireworks. The whole bit.

First cello, then violin.

Fuck it, I'll pay them.

Get through this, get through this together.

Give me the name of one artist that you think passes your authenticity test

Goddamn crazy, fractured mess of a city, New York.

Hey, don't listen to anything he's saying. It's bullshit.

Hi.

How many followers does he have?

I couldn't have signed you if I wanted to, all right?

I don't know.

I guess I want to know... how does this work?

I know. It's amazing when you're not actually that interested,

I left my home about a year or so ago.

I recorded in various studios on the road

I sold all my interests due to emotional difficulties

I technically started when I was four.

I think everything's changed.

I thought there were no answers,

I want it to be punk meets...

I want to sign you. We're meant to work together.

I wasn't trying to win you over, I was trying to tell you to fuck off.

I went to some botanical gardens.

I... I think that you've lost the songs in the production.

I'll see you.

I'm gonna do it right fucking here.

I'm gonna write a song, I don't give a shit.

I'm not a performer, I write songs from time to time.

I'm not asking for much.

I'm not giving you access to my music library. I'm really not.

I'm thinking Norah Jones, singer songwriter thing at a piano

If l did, you'd be the first I'd tell.

If you'd like her to come up here and play one of her songs.

Ignore him.

Is suddenly invested with so much meaning, you know?

Is that OK? Yeah?

It must have been fairly tense for you to leave,

It's because he liked her, all right?

It's gonna go online, and publicity would be, what, word of mouth?

It's like he's holding a guitar,

It's like that old joke. You put the key in the door, you break a window.

It's not fucking Vivaldi.

It's not too loud. It's good, it's good,

Just hear the song. I want you to see...

Let's hear that bass, my brother.

Like me, is a long way from home.

Maybe people in the music industry just don't make good life partners.

Maybe she's booing.

Maybe they were private dreams.

Mim.

My assistant, Mim, the beautiful Mim. This is, uh...

No One Else Like You]

No, because I thought that you'd be really upset.

No, I haven't produced in a long time.

No, I like my music. Who cares if they don't get it, right?

No, no pole. It's just, it's one..

No, no, I mean, I'm just saying.

No, she purrs at Leonard Cohen, too, and she has very good taste.

No.

No. Don't you touch me. I will kill you. I will.

Oh my God, is that the Empire State?

OK, all right, so how, I mean...

OK, here's the truth.

OK, in the subway, in fucking Harlem, everywhere, OK?

On the list to play tonight, but I was wondering

One more?

Or prove anything. These guys are serious musicians.

People don't want that. They want authenticity.

People send us their demos. It's not the other way around.

Plus, you're beautiful.

She says you're a pathetic loser.

Shit.

So what did happen?

So, this is a new song, so it might be kind of rough. Um...

So... If she's here, I'm not sure that she is...

Sound good?

Steve, beautiful.

Take that.

That I hate you a little bit.

That is the most cultivated artist you could've thought of.

That was fun, right? Don't smile.

That's Gretta. Great singer and songwriter.

That's something. That's good.

The European Series.

There she is. That's her

There's nothing strange about you, all right?

These beautiful, effervescent pearls.

Throw in a box of cigarettes and a lighter.

To come up here and play one of her songs.

To meet everyone and say hi,

Troublegum, my brother. My troubles are over.

Uh, I am probably busy doing something awesome, so leave me a message

Uh, I'd love her to come up and join us on this one.

Uh, just give me a moment.

Uh, no, traffic was actually pretty good. I was just passing by.

Uh, so this is a new song, so it might be kind of rough.

Um, I do, but I won't.

We ain't fucking around.

We had... We had a different view of it here, though.

We're digging for gold.

Well, guide her! Guide her!

Well, I think Dan needs his job back.

Well, look at you. A vision of pure class. There's my daughter

Went back to his life, turned his phone off,

What's that smell?

What's up, kid? How you doing, brother?

Who is this?

Who really don't have that much to say, and that's the good ones, right?

Why don't you come, too?

Without something terrible happening. What? What happened to you?

Would you throw it in the ocean?

Would you... would you want me to?

Yeah

Yeah, as long as it's not fucking Vivaldi.

Yeah?

You all... motivated now?

You always win the hand.

You can't know.

You certainly found a beard, anyway. Look at that thing.

You know, but don't feel like you have to overdo it

You think it would be cool if she came and played guitar

You think you have a meeting? Do you or not?

You waltz in here like a fucking clown,

You want to do... Don't do this here

You're gonna be amazing.

All right, here we go. Speaker.

Bye. Thank you.

Cool. Good night.

Doing this, doing that. Waiting for the next move.

get in the way of your entire life. Oh, babe, babe.

Get your sexy self in the pool. Come on.

Gmm. Yeah

I don't even know if I'm gonna play. Whatever.

It was fun, Dad. Yeah. You had a good time

It's about sharing it with people. No, not that song, Dave.

It's bloody genius, it is. Where do you want to go?

It's good. Come on. Will you produce it?

Jesus, you're tricky, aren't you? No, I actually just think

Major seventh... Got it. I love it.

No. No, no, no. No, I... No?

Thanks, guys. Great meeting.

The Korean restaurant thing? Oh, I certainly did.

This is huge for you. Yeah, but, I mean,

Turn down that motherfucking music! Give us three more minutes!

What do you write them for? What do you mean, what for?

What happened to your pocket money? I spent that on condoms.

What say you give me some love? This is it, gangsta paradise.

What... what did you do? Uh, nothing, really

Why don't you come with me? 'Cause I hate your fucking songs.

Why? Why? What kind of question is that?

Yeah, it's great. The Wind's good, right?

Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah? Yes!

You have your key? Yep. I got it.

You hear things? Arrangements.

you know... Anyway, would you like to go hear it?
