A couple days ago Steven uploaded this picture, which he marvelously painted, on our Cerulean Jade facebook page. It was a hint for our next cover, but, alas, no one guessed.
We're doing Payphone by Maroon 5, naturally the clean, non rap version. It's a great, upbeat song. And it's not a ballad! We finished recording it this afternoon, and now Steven has the arduous task of mixing/mastering the song, which will be no simple task. Unlike our last cover, All About Your Heart, we're doing a full arrangement, Cerulean Jade style.
The painting above is based on René Magritte's 1929 painting The Treachery of Images. Most refer to it as Ceci n'est pas une Pipe, this is not a pipe. It's simply a painting of a pipe with that statement below, indicating that it's not a pipe, but a picture of a pipe, therefore not a real pipe at all. The painting isn't in the public domain, but you can view it here.
We wanted, for fun, to play off of this famous painting, because the picture isn't a picture of a payphone, but a phone booth. And really, it's not even a phone booth! So we're just being geeky.
The song should be out by Thursday, latest Friday, and if it all goes well it'll be out by tomorrow. I can't wait for you guys to hear it!
Have a great day,
Sarah
Edit: I'm sorry it's taking so long to get the song out. My brother's working on it as I write this. When it does go up on YouTube, I'll write a blog post explaining the problems we've had.
