“Now you tell me there’s somebody else in your life that is close to you
And I desperately try to find something that I could reply
I could cry but there’s one thing I have to keep telling myself to get by
Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my.”The lyrics, melody, beautiful singing, and wonderful guitar line of Close To You always moves me deeply. I can really feel where this song comes from. Raises goosebumps always. I don’t know if this is based on a real life experience, but it is a powerful song.

Think I have to go along with Jung Roe there, close to you is a favourite original of mine and it’s the first MLT song I heard on Facebook so that makes it all the more special for me the discovery of MonaLisa Twins.

They are all good. But the one I like . Because it’s a fun song is I want to Kiss You. I like that it’s really a two video song. The making of song and the finish product. I love the blue lips I thought they were cute. The Girls looked like they had fun making. And the words are catchy.
It’s one of those songs when you hear it. It stays in your head all day.

I have a personal lyric hall of fame, lines that really reach me. One of them is “we’re run by maniacs by maniac means” from still a friend of mine. Lovely turn of phrase.

As far as just the lyrics, my favorite is It’s Alright. I’ve always been strongly individualistic, and that song encourages you to be yourself regardless of what appearances others expect you to uphold.

There are so many, Jacki, but I’d have to go with “Count On Me”. The special relationship that exists between father and daughter is related so poetically and sensitively. Following is a sample.
“Sometimes I throw a stone into the darkness
Just to see what sound it makes
I listen closely when it hits the surface
It says a little trust is all it takesSometimes I light a candle in the darkness
I watch the shadows dancing on the wall
And now it’s up to my imagination
What it is I’m making of it allNo matter how many turns a river makes
It will always meet the sea
No matter how many times a promise breaks
You can always count on me
As time will go by you’ll see
You can always count on meSometimes I look for guidance in the darkness
To find the hidden path that takes me home
But by the time I’ve come around full circle
I’m off again to make it on my own” -

June, can you tell me why
We had to say goodbye so soon
Would you come along
And bring my baby homeMay you be kind to me
Our love is meant to be
Oh June, would you come along
And bring my baby homeSuch beautiful longing for someone you miss.

Jung,
One of your favorites, Sweet Lorraine. The lyrics are very well written and very good story to follow. And the Duo session of this song takes it to another level for me. And the little kiss Mona does is cool! But we all have to agree that this music that they do, is well done and done with such good hearted spirit and love there is no way you can not love this music. I said it before and I will repeat, I am so glad I found the Mona Lisa Twins and their music. My life is music and this fits right into my wheel house and makes my days so much better.

Jung,
June was on my mind first thing today when I woke up, it has that Till There Was You feel effect to me with the rhythm and guitar strumming and picking. Love it

Hi Bill. June is certainly a wonderful song to start off the day with. I had a listen to both June and Til There Was You and you’re right, they share a similar feel indeed, especially the sweet guitar work. Love those intricate guitar picking sounds in June and Til There Was You. So masterfully done.

Although it’s a cover, it might as well be an MLT original for me as I never heard this song before and probably never would have if it weren’t for Mona and Lisa. “Aufsteh’n” is one of my favourite songs off the 2007 Concert album. Awesome lyrics kicking off the song. While I don’t know all the lyrics as most of it is in German, the leading english part I think says it all. What a great intro to the world of the MonaLisa Twins!
Hey! This is Mona Lisa and band, just welcome!
Everybody wake up
Forget your strive
embrace life, Yo!!!Come on and check this!
I’m sad
I want to see your funny side again make me laugh and
take me to your heart where it all began
make a new start
I promise I’ll do all I can for this is the very last chance
to let our love light shine againWake up woman
There’s something that I want you to see
A brand new you and me
They’re just waiting to be
Here’s my hand
So meet me half of the way
Sweetheart, we’re sharing this day
And I don’t wish to stay
The way that I am.
I see the circumstances are strange
How I want you to change,
But still stay the same.
The less that we talk,
The more time we try.
And while you were sleeping,
Time passed by.Everybody wake up
Forget your strive
embrace life, Oh yeah!!check this, come on!
Everybody stand up, yeah, yeah
Everybody stand up, stand up yeah, yeah….
Such a catchy and groovy song. Transports me back to my youth! Makes me want to “get up” and dance to life!
