When We’re Together, Oh I am happy as can be
I really love this song and the profoundly meaningful message.
“When We’re Together
Oh I am happy as can be
That you are here with me
I thought I’d never
I thought I’d never feel this way
The way I feel today..”
That’s what love is about and what really matters, being there with the one(s) you love. In the end, those precious moments and memories with the ones you love is what becomes the most precious gifts. This song is so brilliant. Mona and Lisa expressed and captured on the very first track of their very first original album one of the most important messages music can convey.

And the wonderful original video. The true artist nature of Mona and Lisa shine in this video. I love the universal fellowship through music and art aspect of this video. People of all race and walks of life stop on the side walk to take part in a moment of love and beauty. Music and art can tear down the boundaries that separate people and bring them together as Mona and Lisa’s music does, and this video illustrates that so wonderfully.

“When we’re together
I’m gonna take you by the hand
And make you understand
That I would never,
No, I would never make you cry
I’d never say goodbye”

Right on, Jung! When We’re Together is a terrific opener for that album; it really invites you enthusiastically into their musical world. And every time it comes up on the surprise jukebox, I relax and smile for a few seconds.
I’ve said this before, but if Mona and Lisa had their own TV sitcom, When We’re Together should be the theme song.

Hi David, yeah it’s a great song to kick off their album. Has the same effect on me, makes me smile every time it comes on.

Hi Jung,
It just blows me away how young these two wunderkind were when they started on this album. I don’t care where their next live show is, because I will be there!!

Hi Diana. They were just teenagers at 18, exactly 10 years ago. They are both so talented and wrote amazing songs at such a young age, and you can see the evolution of their music from When We’re Together to Orange, to the latest new songs for the new album, never repeating themselves, always innovating.
I love seeing this early video when they worked on When We’re Together, and I am sure not unlike what they are doing now locking themselves in their studio creating their new awesome songs.

I think this is a nice example of their talent. Two guitars, two voices, and the sun shines a little brighter when they begin. I imagine the camera operator and the sound engineer were brought to tears as they recorded this perfect moment in time.

Hi JP. That clip of them singing The Wide, Wide Land is beautiful, you can see the emotions in their faces. They play their music with so much feeling. I love all these docu-vides clips of MLT. Here is another one I found, of them singing I Don’t Know Birds That Well. I couldn’t find a video with English subtitles, but that is OK, because I like listening to Mona and Lisa’s German, even if I don’t understand what they are saying.

OMG This song is so good to kick off their first album and the video to go along with it is super. I love the middle part of this song when you can feel the energy being pushed up a bit and when I listen in the car I crank it up!! And this shows the talent they have at such an early age. I know I am happy as can be to listen to the Mona Lisa twins each and every day.

Jung, thank you for reposting the new album video. The video shows the work that Team Wagner had to do to create that first album…no doubt similar to what is being done today. The “to do” lists, the “checkoff” process of each instrumental part, and the individual recordings of parts within songs was so fun to watch. Finally, at the end of the video, you can see that Papa Rudi and Michaela are good dancers. Mona and Lisa did not inherit Papa’s dancing prowess, lol. But that’s cool, just more musicianship, which is the big thing!

Hi Bill, I know what you mean about that build up of pace and energy in the middle of the song, it is prevalent in their Cavern Club performance I posted here.
Hi Christopher, I love to imagine just what MLT are doing right now working on the album, locking themselves in the studio. I can just see the to do list being checked off.
As for Mona and Lisa’s dancing prowess, I have a strong feeling they are just holding back, you can see glimpses in the What’s On The Table videos when Mona and Lisa groove a bit to the music. I think if they let go, look out! LOL.

I can’t decide whether WWT would be a great opener for a concert or as an encore. Probably better as the opener to get the audience on their feet.
Jung, I love that other TV show featuring the twins in the yard singing about birds. Again, if I was the camera operator I would be fighting back tears just witnessing this performance. Uh, girls? Could you lean up against those trees and sing one of your songs? Wow, of course they can.
“Here I sit watching the sky”????

Hi JP, I think the most wonderful job in the world would be a full time MLT camera person. If that job comes up on one of MLTs future tours, I would definitely apply! I don’t think they would have a problem getting a few of us MLT Clubbers to form a camera crew going on the road with them filming their behind the scenes videos ????????. I think WWT would be the ideal opener song, being the opening song to their debut album, and the perfect encore song I think would be Sweet Lorraine. I can just imagine them doing the chorus over and over in different variations as the crowd goes crazy.
