Hi Thomas
Alone is like a precious seed Mona and Lisa planted when they wrote it and played it the first time when they were 12 or 13, and now 15 years later with their powerhouse talents even more refined and beautiful than ever, the song is ripe and ready to explode to it’s fullest potential for the whole world to experience it’s beauty. The new refreshed recording is stunning! Sometimes things work out in unexpected ways, and I am really looking forward to when MLT release this superlative gem for the whole world to experience it’s magnificence.

In this beautiful song, although the lyrics may be interpreted as a song about a broken relationship, David Gates of Bread wrote it in memory of his father who died in 1963 before he achieved his success with the band. It’s such a moving song that expresses so many emotions better than any words ever can. It expresses that longing for the one you love, that is not with you anymore. For me, I feel that longing in MLTs songs like The Wide, Wide Land, June, and Close To You. Songs like this has the power to heal, as it lets you express those emotions you need to release. Thus is the power of music.

Hi Mike
Thanks for sharing your story, it is really inspiring, despite all the challenges life throws at you, you never let it stop you. So sorry to hear about the loss of your wife, my condolences. I am glad you found your way here to the MLT Club and discovered the beauty and wonder of MLTs music. Your farm sounds so wonderful with all those beautiful animals, and it’s great your daughter is back with her family at the farm to carry on the tradition, and I hope you get to fill the farm with all those beautiful animals again. 🙂

Hi Jacki
Doing OK here in Vancouver, thanks. It looks like the smoke is pretty bad out your way in eastern Canada and along the eastern seaboard of the US. Stay indoors and safe, and hope things clear up more in the coming days. Smelled some smoke a few days ago here, but cleared up. I guess we’ve been lucky compared to the rest of Canada so far. Hope Daryl in Northern Alberta and others are doing OK. I know the wildfires hit early and hard in Alberta this year.

Hi Daryl
Over the years, I’ve kept my friends on their toes with my changing music taste, from Beach Boys to AC/DC to Beethoven. Yeah, I find AC/DC guitar sounds so unique when I really got into them in my early 20s. When I hear AC/DC in the background now, I zone out. Their music certainly helped express a lot of crazy emotions for me growing up. Glad they were there.

Hi Tim
That sounds awesome indulging in MLT every morning.
Tomorrow I will be on the high seas heading up to Alaska again, and I plan to spend some quality hours with my headphones and blissing out to MLT music while watching the waves roll by. Back in 2017 when I first discovered MLT, I was on the very same cruise and couldn’t stop listening to their 2017 Concert Album, love every song they did, and that’s when I first discovered ALONE, wow!!!! It was a little later I learned it was their own original. I just assumed everything I was hearing was a cover of great songs, but one of those gems were their own creation, better than most of the original rock classics on the album.
Will be offline for a while, no WiFi, but that’s alright, I have MLT music loaded on my phone, all 11 albums!

Hey Daryl. Hope all is well with you, and hope the fires haven’t affected you too much. What a crazy spring so far in Alberta.

Hi Steve. Yeah this song just says it all for me too about me and my mom. I was watching an old home video the other day and this song was playing in the background, that I hadn’t heard in decades. Listening to it again now, it hit me like a ton of bricks, can’t get to the end of the song without getting teary eyed. I’m glad this song let you feel the love for your parents like it did for me. When David Gates wrote this, he certainly put his heart and soul into it with so much love, and for everyone who ever lost a parent or someone very close, it rings so close to the heart.

Thanks Jerry! Mona and Lisa are both geniuses indeed. The fact they could write a song of this remarkable caliber at 13, their first original, says volumes about their genius talents. I don’t know, is it the air or water in Austria as it seems Mona and Lisa caught the Mozart bug at 13, and haven’t looked back.

Hi David
That will be great to see a never before seen asteroid world in November. As more man made probes/telescopes get out there we are uncovering new worlds.
There is another theory emerging, based on observations of the distant areas of the universe by James Webb, that time is an illusion, an illusion created by limitations of the mind to comprehend the universe, but everything that ever was, is and will be is happening all at once. First Einstein discovers gravity curves space and time, and now James Webb may discover time is an illusion. Mind blowing.

That would be pretty cool to have a newly discovered exo-planet named after you. It looks like TESS mission is expanded another 2 years to 2025. It’s astonishing what TESS and James Webb telescopes can deduce about a planets composition, masses, densities and atmospheric make up from just observations of “spectra of starlight absorbed by the planets atmosphere”… TESS’s setup of cameras to pan and observe a strip of the sky is impressive. It’s great TESS can work together with the James Webb telescope to investigate potential new exo-planets. Who knows what they will find in the next 2 years, as the James Webb continue to shatter previously held theories of our universe or now universes! Thanks for posting this cool video.
It will be interesting to see what Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds will discover (Lucy Spacecraft carrying instrumentation utilizing diamonds launched in 2021) with it’s mission expanding to 2033 as it tracks asteroids.
It’s amazing that maybe in centuries from now, if people in the distant future or aliens recover the Lucy Spacecraft expected to be drifting in space indefinitely, the Beatles will be one of the lasting recorded legacies of our humanity.
Onboard the spacecraft is a golden plaque that contains its launch date, the positions of the planets at the launch date, the continents of Earth at the time of launch, its nominal trajectory, and twenty speeches, poems, and song lyrics from people such as Martin Luther King Jr., Carl Sagan, The Beatles, and more. Because the spacecraft will not leave the Solar System or be intentionally crashed into a planetary body, there is a chance that future generations of humanity will be able to recover it.[32]

Hi Fred
It’s great, having MonaLisa Twins on your mind and feeling their music in your heart and soul will color your world every time. Those Mona Lisa socks sounds cool, I want one too. 👍😊
I recall Mona and Lisa received a pair for their birthday too, or was it Christmas.
The next time I find myself in San Francisco I will try to find that Mona Lisa Bar they showed in the San Francisco video and have a pint.

Tim, two bombshells indeed. If I were to draw any parallels to classic glamorous movie stars, Grace Kelly(Mona) and Natalie Wood(Lisa) come to mind.
