Here, There And Everywhere – New Beatles Cover Video

Here, There and Everywhere - The Beatles Cover Thumbnail

Good Sunday, everybody!

Is there a more beautiful love song than “Here, There And Everywhere”?

It captures the feeling of romance and love like nothing else in less than 3 minutes. How did Lennon/McCartney manage to do that time and time again?

We could call it “one of our favourite Beatles songs ever”, but we have probably said this about every Beatles cover we ever posted. But it’s true 😉

Whenever we start working on a new Beatles track we can’t help but appreciate their music on an even deeper level.

We now share our take on it with you and hope it will add some joy to your day.

Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

Little Drummer Boy – New Video!

Purum Pum Pum Pum …

This year’s Christmas cover is really special to us, even more so now that both Bing Crosby and David Bowie are gone whose bittersweet and hauntingly beautiful version we leaned on when recording our cover of “Little Drummer Boy”.

We hope you enjoy our rendition and would love to hear what you think in the comments.

Now that it’s December we think it’s fair to say that the Holiday season has officially begun. Personally, we love it! Sure, there are many, possibly valid things to be cynical about when it comes to the whole Festive Season, maybe starting with the fact that we saw the first Christmas jumpers in the shop windows the day after Halloween 😉 But all in all we still look forward to December every year. Family, music, hot chocolate and cosy jumpers are always a plus in our books 🙂

If you’re an MLT Club member don’t forget to open the first window of the Advent Calendar we’ve prepared. 

Much love to everyone and whether you’re celebrating Christmas or not, have a groovy December! ♥

Still A Friend Of Mine Thumbnail

We proudly present to you the closing track, the only piano ballad and the 3rd single off our album ORANGE:

Still A Friend Of Mine

We loved having Papa Rudi on the other side of the lens for once, and the whole day of filming was one for the books. We want to thank Brigid Hemingway (Viola), Rachel Pugh (Cello 1) and Phil Turner (Cello 2) for being in this video with us, as well as the crew, the venue owners and of course Papa Rudi and Michaela for their endless help and support. 

This release coincides with us reaching 20 million YouTube views a few days ago. Two reasons to celebrate are always better than one!

If you like the song you can get the full ORANGE album here (CD, Vinyl or Download) or get the single song.

Please share the song as much as you can!

Stay groovy,

“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” Reaches 1 Million Views!

Our first 1 Million views on a single video!!!

You did it! “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” was meant to be our first video that reaches this crazy milestone and we couldn’t be happier. 1 Million! Recording this cover was a totally spontaneous idea we had after planning a trip to Germany. We were going to visit the Musikmesse in Frankfurt which is a huge music fair.
The ideas was to look at and test certain guitars for our future MLT sound there! We thought it seemed like a fitting, humorous idea to film the video during our trip. If someone had told us back then that this on-a-whim idea would be watched a million times, 6 years and 1 day later, we’d have laughed. Yet here we are and we’re laughing! In the best way possible 🙂

Thank you, George Harrison, for this incredible song with words that couldn’t describe the world we live in in a more poetic way.
While our guitars gently weep,
Mona and Lisa

“A World Without Love” – New Video!

We recorded a new cover video – A World Without Love!

We’ve always loved the melody and bittersweetness of the Peter & Gordon song A World Without Love. It was originally written by Paul McCartney when he was just 16 years old! We used to play this song live many years ago. Recently we decided to record it in the studio as a Birthday present for a very dear friend.

The video was done on a playground nearby, and as you can imagine we had to deal with loads of children trying to get in the frame and making it “on TV”. Also, to no surprise, temperatures were just above the freezing point but you know by now that we NEVER film outside when it has bearable temperatures. But at least the birds were singing in tune 🙂

We hope you enjoy our version of A World Without Love! Please feel free to share it with your friends and leave a comment down below.

In the studio …

Besides that we’re of course making lots of progress on the album and everything that goes along with it. We’ll keep you updated!

As always, thanks for reading and listening, have a wonderful day and stay groovy,
Mona and Lisa

“Wonderful Christmastime” – Christmas Video!

Only a few more days left until Christmas!

We hope you’re all feeling very festive already and have your presents sorted, roast dinners planned, gifts wrapped (… if you’re anything like us go for SQUARE presents) and plans made for the big day. In short: we hope you are having a Wonderful Christmastime.

We surprised ourselves this year and finished all the shopping last weekend already, ha! This gives us time to soak in the “Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” without breaking out in a cold sweat every time we realize we still have to get presents. Good times!

And of course we prepared a little video for you all, our anual present to you 🙂 ENJOY!

Please let us know how you liked it and feel free to share it with your loved ones! In case you missed last year’s video “Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” you can go watch it here for a double dose of holiday cheer!

You’ll hear from us again at the end of the year! Meanwhile we hope you are spending the holidays with your family and friends and are enjoying the wonderful Christmas season. Even if you aren’t celebrating Christmas we hope you are having a great week ahead.

Lots and lots of groovy, christmassy love,
Mona & Lisa

“Morning Has Broken” Cover to Celebrate 30 000 YouTube Subscribers – New Video!

You did it – and 29 999 others did it too …

This is our Morning Has Broken cover of the beautiful Gaelic folk tune, made famous by Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam to thank you for THIRTY THOUSAND YouTube subscriptions!!!

To give something back as a ‘Thank You’ we thought it’s time for a new upload. We love its hauntingly beautiful melody and melodic chord progression, and filming it in the sandy dunes of Merseyside coast really seemed to fit the atmosphere.

Lots of love to all of you. We are proud of the great family the MonaLisa Twins community has become!

Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

Joining Steve Harley Acoustic Trio / 24th Nov / St. George’s Hall Liverpool

MonaLisa Twins playing with Steve Harley at St. George's Hall, Liverpool, 2016

At around this time last year we were out shooting the music video to our cover of ‘The Best Years Of Our Lives’ by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. This video brings back the feeling of joyful anticipation that we felt before going on tour with them a month later, in November 2015, when we were part of the Cockney Rebel band.

We are also happy to announce that we will join Steve Harley again for a show in Liverpool on the 24th of November. Not only will we be playing together with Steve’s acoustic trio. We will also open the concert with a 30 minutes acoustic set of our own in the magnificent St. George’s Hall.

Get your tickets here!

To get informed about any other future shows or upcoming tours feel free to join our mailing list so you won’t miss anything.

Stay groovy,

We reached 25 000 YouTube Subscribers

MonaLisa Twins fan mail celebrations

We reached 25 000 YouTube subscribers!!!

Not only do we thank you all for being part of this wonderful MLT family but we also apologise for the lack of new videos lately. The making of the next album and new website is currently taking up all our time. But hey, there’s 97 videos on our channel already! With an average length of let’s say 4.5 minutes, that would make for nearly 7 hours of content. That’s less than all ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies combined … anyone up for a challenge?

Thanks for bearing with us, new music is brewing and it’s already smelling super tasty (can you tell we haven’t had dinner yet?). We hope you are all having a magnificent day!

Stay groovy,
Mona and Lisa
