If I Needed Someone – New Beatles Cover with Mike Massé

MonaLisa Twins meet Mike Massé!

Last week we shared our live version of  “Africa” (Toto cover) from Mike Massé’s show at the Epstein Theatre in Liverpool. Now we finished up the video we filmed together in our studio the day prior … a new Beatles Cover!

Mike suggested to do the 3-part harmony George Harrison song “If I Needed Someone” which we were immediately on board with. It has been nearly six months since we’ve done any Beatles songs, so we think a Fab 4 fix was overdue! 😉

One of the wonderful side effects of being artists and musicians is that we get the chance to meet and work with other creative people, and it was inspiring and fun teaming up with Mike for this little project. We hope you enjoy the outcome!

Why not visit Mike’s Website, Facebook page or YouTube channel and send him some love?

Stay groovy,

Mona & Lisa

  1. This is a superb version of George’s classic. Mike has a lovely voice. As someone who grew up with this music and reveres the original versions in this incomparable songbook you guys hit the mark every time in your own style. You make the songs your own and that is unique. Thank you, Steve

  2. Really beautiful harmonies. I learned about Mike from the Africa video. I subscribe to his channel. And I tune in to his live streams regularly. Thanks for the intro. Peace be.

  3. I’m a big Mike Masse fan, and of course, Mona and Lisa… the combination is magical!

  4. Hadn’t seen this video before and all I can say is …Wow. The harmonies the 3 of you pull together are just Fab!!

  5. I must thank you for helping me “discover” Mike as he is an incredible talent. I can say I’m now an avid fan of his. He is now on my Spotify play list and also in my CD collection! Really enjoyed the collaborations with MLT. Keep up the fantastic work!

  6. lost count how many times i’ve come back to this page, just cant stop listening to this song,
    absolutely fabulous,

  7. comment no 38, this includes all previous comments plus a big fat yes ! brilliant version, much more pleasant to listen to than the original, harmonies are gorgeous !!

  8. Georgous.

  9. OK, this may be blasphemous to say – but here goes: This cover is better than the original. All three of you are the new voices of classic rock, including interpreting the rich legacy of the fab four. Of course, George retains the singular honor of composing this upbeat and [rubber] soulful classic.

  10. Fantastic jobs on drums and lead twelve string Mona!
    Paul would be proud if Lisa’s bass!
    Mike’s lead was great but the ladies harmonies push this song over the top!
    Great cover of a George classic

  11. I do hope you ladies are playing again in May 2020 in Liverpool with Mike Masse when he comes over again

  12. great job, best cover yet

  13. what a great job, A plus all the way. sounds a lot like george singing too.

  14. This is my first comment on your web site. I just have to say again yall drove that song all the way home, George I think is proud of your cover.

  15. Fantastic cover, as usual. So jealous of Mike Masse getting to sing those fabulous harmonies with you. Haha! You really get the harmony vocals perfectly and your arrangement is true to the original. Truly fab! Congrats!

  16. Really like this version, great harmonies

  17. George would be impressed with your version. I absolutely love it!?

  18. Essas garotas cantando Beatles e simplesmente maravilhoso eu como fa deles e delas sinto-me orgulhoso…

  21. BRAVO!

  22. Will never stop listening. Encore. Fantastic from Arlington, Texas.

  23. Beautiful! Thank you!

  24. I was smitten by you girls from the very first moment I experienced your awesome talent. You are so lovely,and generous with your endorsements of other artists too. I look forward to your visit to Canada and hope you can swing by Vancouver on the way.lol. I wish you would team up with some other Beatles girlfriends like Sina and form an all girls cover band, in your spare time of coarse. Lol ??? smitten kitten❤️❤️❤️

  25. Brilliant cover as usual. How about giving ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ a go?

  26. São fantásticas. I need you,

  27. Excellent cover. Keep on progressing into Revolver, why not give And your bird can sing a try?

    1. “And Your Bird Can Sing” is a very good idea!!!
      And why not “Nowhere Man”?

  28. I always thought the best version was by the Hollies…………….however this is so very very good and is the best! More to come?

  29. What a nice way to start off a Friday morning. Thank’s Guys …!

  30. While listening to your rendition, I’m smiling as broadly as the three of you. Few things in life make me happier than listening to you play my favorite music.

  31. Again… Groovy GoosebumpMLTMasseBuzzedWorthy Frikkin Fab… The way you 3 are performing… So natural as though you’ve all been performing as a Trio all along…. Music Magic and it definitely gives off a funky cool vibe… Hoping you can collaborate again in future with Mike… Thankyou for sharing this gem with us…. The Essences just take off and do their thing… Beyond impressed… WhoaWow and Humdinger Dandy stuff… My Thursday is now complete!!!

  32. Fantabulous! LOVE it, can’t get enough. Thank you!

  33. Die Beatles haben es nicht besser hingekriegt! Ich bin hin und weg!

  34. This collab , as the previous 2, is very good. But to be honest I didn’t start following you to hear someone else sing. You two have AMAZING harmony and HUGE talent, I’d like to hear more from just the two of you. BTW, I have no idea who Mike Masse’ is. He’s very good, but you two are very much better!! Sorry, just my 2 cents worth. THis is better than the last one with Mike Masse’ as there is a lot more of you two harmonizing.
    Just remember, you’re not someone’s backup singers, you two are SUPER-TALENTED artists!!!

  35. Great voice of Mike and Twins together !! Nice to ear you. Congratulations !!

  36. Outstanding!

  37. Ann Arbor MI Aug 9, 2019????? Please Please Me…Let It BE true!

  38. Great song!, I love your passion for music, your smiling faces show that. Harmonies are AWESOME!!!, Can’t wait to see the new video dropping on your birthday. I think anything you sing will be amazing!!!

  39. Sweet. Another great George song to cover is “What is Life?”.

  40. Few covers are as good the original; this is an exception. If you close your eyes, you could swear that George was singing right in front of you. And the harmonies are amazing. Well done. I like this version best of all.

  41. wow, great harmonising, a brilliant ‘George’ song , rendered beautifully, having listened to so much of your work, it’s what people come to expect, you hit the mark again Ladies & Gentleman, thanks for sharing

  42. Very good!

  43. Awesomeness! He blends like a brother!
