Hey everybody!
while we are still spending most of our time working on new videos for songs from our album, we thought we'd squeeze in this little cover for you, one of our favorite Beach Boys songs.
"God Only Knows" was originally released 1966 on the legendary "Pet Sounds"-album.
If you like our version, feel free to share it :)
MUCH LOVE,
Mona & Lisa
I like that they can take a song from 50 years ago and make it completely new without destroying what made it so special to begin with.
The orginal was a complex recording here they have simplfied it with an iota lost of the brilliance of song
my world has gotten infinitely better since i found MonaLisa Twins on you tube. i feel blessed. i am at a loss for words and i'm a retired radio dj. i made my living talking for 48 years. i'm rarely at a loss for words.
Me too!
Agreed!
❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🤝
As I work my way into old age, it is a constant joy that new young talent has discovered the best of the 60s and 70s, made it there own and is taking it forward. Thankyou.
How can so much talent be poured into two people? ❤❤
I think they had to be twins because there was way too much talent for one person, haha.
This cover by the MonaLisa twins is absolutely fabulous! They provide a crisp and gentle cadence, a lovely creative harmony, and voices that are exquisite. The Beach Boys must be proud to hear such elegance through this remake of "God Only Knows".
You're 100% right!
Ummm...........I am speechless. I have watched this at least a dozen times and have tried to think of an appropriate comment. I suffer from depression and anxiety and this is the best I have felt in weeks. Harmoniously spiritual, superbly sung and provided a light in my soul I Haven't felt in months. I'm finding it difficult to text my response through my tears, but my world is a much better place after hearing your Angelic voices. Thank you for sharing your gift and lifting my heart. Truly a blessing stumbling across your video.
Totally agree with you, John. That's the power of a truly great song when it's done well. Big hug to you, my friend!
Lord Bless u John
I think Brian suffered the same. "In My Room" says it all. I love this gals. When I hear them I remember how good the 60's was songs were.
The MLT has truly touched a special place in redoing the best of songs from my generation - 60's and 70's - like this one and most of the Beatles they cover
Good luck to you brother John.
My God! So good! The harmonies are as ethereal as the Beach boys were!
Listening to them is such a joy...these women are wonderful
I'm a big Beach Boys fan, and I've never heard this song done as beautifully as this! The great vocal harmony Mona and Lisa are capable of truly shine here. I think Brian Wilson would have been proud to hear his song so beautifully done.
I personally know Brian Wilson and all the Beach boys, and I guarantee he's heard this and probably loves it
A couple of angelic voices singing God Only Knows, I cannot express how wonderful I feel after listening to this. Just an unbelievable cover of this song, I've never heard a better version. Sometimes the right song meets the right voices and magic happens. Thank you for the spiritual experience.
Two musical angels. The harmony in this recording is incredible.
one of the loveliest songs ever sung by amazing young women
God only knows that I wish I had a girl like you. You two are remarkable, and drop dead gorgeous to boot. All I can say is WOW!
Now wonder God made you twins! He couldn't put that much talent into one person! I love the song, THANKS!
Very Well Said Sir!
Both Mona & Lisa were GOD blessed because they both have it but they had to work for their own success !
Gregory, Carl Wilson?
These girls knock it out of the park,
but I am partial to Carl's rendition.
Women can hit the high notes, but
for a guy to do that? Carl!

Rarely is a cover of a masterpiece also a masterpiece. This recording is an exception.
When they were babies, God tapped them on their heads with his magic tuning fork...I am convinced they are angels sent here to make the world a better place with their gift. We are very lucky. :)
Not being a fan of the Beach Boys sound, I never realized how well written this song was.
These two are extremely talented and divinely gorgeous. Divinely
Clean. that's the word. Any cover by the twins is clean. Clean voices. Clean instruments. Clean mix. Sanitized. Hübsch. Rein. Sauber. I'm not being demeaning or whatever. It's like rediscovering the classics. Completely dust-free, crystal clear, in super HD, perfectly remixed. 21st century.
The Twins never miss s note Lisa is a Virtuoso on guitar. Her voice only gets better and better. She and Mona as well, immerse themselves into their craft respectively. Monas back-up vocals are heavenly and her rhythm and percussion skills are spot on. When you see the entire family performing as just little girls you understand the amazing foundation for the beautiful skilled performers today. Heaven sent
You ladles are a gift to fans of classic rock and roll harmony. Thank you so much.
Brian Wilson's writing, Pet Sounds, literally saved my life at 14. This has to be the most beautiful cover I have heard of this song ever. Thank you.
Ditto, Brian rings loud and clear here.
This rendition never gets old.
this has literally taken my breath away...
I don't generally care for covers... but I stumbled across these ladies this afternoon and have been listening to them all day. Great voices, music, and choice of material. It's like finding a load of great oldies I somehow missed. Just amazing.
A perfect cover that honors The Beach Boys. Glad I found this.
My absolute favorite Beach Boys tune!! You both did it justice. Thank you for such beautiful vocals and music!! Brian would be sooo proud of your rendition, l bet.
As would Karl.
Beautiful version girls for what it's probably one of the greatest love songs ever.
Very true
After all this time this is still incredible!! Lifelong Beach Boys fan and this is so amazing! I still listen to this version as much as theirs.
Whenever I hear this song, it just makes me happy. I heard the original today and, well, the MLT cover is waaay better. Nicely done ladies!
Some heavenly vocals going on here. The bass player is pretty good too.
Well? The "bass-player" is their Dad! Lucky man he is too!
@@martinbachmann6283 Yep, he plays keyboards on some of their songs too. They are all very talented.
You gals nailed this song! This is a complex song to cover, and you all did a masterful job. The video work is pretty awesome too!
Wow- stumbled on this -- instant fan here!
This is one of the best songs of all time. This is the best cover version. Fantastic stuff girls.
The most beautiful song ever written, sung beautifuly
You are both so talented and beautiful. Your version of God Only Knows made me cry.
simply divine...
These girls do such a great job in covering all the old classic music.
Brian Wilson took an absolute eternity trying to get this to sound the way he wanted.The harmonies in the BB's original are complex, but MLT's version remains true to Brian's original, despite the fact there are only two of them. Guitar work was delicately handled, loved the ukulele guitar. Once again the Twins proved to be more than equal to the challenge of really doing justice to an iconic song. Well done.
Ladies, I have to tell you that I just came back to hear this song again, because I have had a very tragic three weeks. I lost my best friend for over forty years. We played in a band together for many years, shared so many experiences. He was in great health and we never could have imagined he would die from a pancreatitis attack, but he did. He loved this song and many others that you two have done. In fact, he was the one that told me about you. Thanks again for not only doing this song so beautifully, but thanks for being the two, beautiful, and outstanding women that you are. It is so good to see people like yourself, performing and writing songs. You two ladies have so much class. Thanks again. It's a very sad time, but I know that we will all see each other again one day.
God bless my friend. I'm at the point right now where I know more dead people than live people. It happens to us all, of course. I encourage you to live your life to the fullest, and remember. It's the best way to keep our friends' memories alive.
Absolutely stunning in every sense of the word.....harmonies and your own take on such classics.....what a talent!!!!!!
Perfectly done, this is perfection. I've listened to this a hundred times now.
Vocal harmony is more beautiful to my ears than any instrument in the world. The Beach Boys and Beatles had this gift, and so do The MonaLisa Twins.
Great job!
And also ABBA, they were also very good at harmonising too which helped them with their record sales,after all they are now the second most successful band of all time after the Beatles and their comeback album Voyage was very successful.
This is not an easy song to cover but their beautiful voices make this a lovely version...greetings from the Uk
It certainly is not. However, possible.
What a beautiful rendition of this song!
make a concert here in the philipines
Exquisite harmony singing.
Chills, goosebumps, tears and a smile...all at once. How beautiful and well orchestrated this is. Wow! Thank you for this gift for my ears and heart. Peace...
You took a tough song and nailed it. Your vocal harmony is beautiful.
Wow...!! This is really... Haunting... I've got... Goosebumps...
A stunning rendition of a Beach Boys classic. :-))...
Just shows how music, regardless of which part of the world you hail from, vocals sound the same. It, like reading music.... is universal. Great version!
I am in awe of your talent, your music lifts our spirits, enters our soul and does not want to leave ... ever.
absolutely awesome. A great song. A great cover. Great singers. Great video. Wow.
Do you know what really makes this song and this video? It is Papa Rudi joining his daughters in the video. What a trio! It is like Mona and Lisa are singing directly to their Dad while he keeps his steady bass line. Papa Rudi's bass line is like the constant positive influence that he has provided to the ladies during their entire lives. Thank you to all of them, including Michaela!
In the late 60s I had that same model Hofner bass guitar. I didn't much like it, and with its soft 'plonking' tone it certainly didn't have the presence and bite of a Fender. But I have to admit that it works really well in this 1960s cover, there was a lot of good music using that less aggressive sound
the harmonics are hypnotising crazy beautyful !
Beautiful.
Fantastic rendition of the greatest song in pop/rock history. I like 99.9 percent of it. I'd fix a note or two on the guitar whenever it progresses upward in the intro and during breaks. I'm a huge fan of your Beatles covers.
This is the video that brought Mona and Lisa to my attention.
I was checking out some Beach Boys vids and ran across this.
I fell in love with them right then.
Simply.........priceless. I enjoy many of their renditions more than the originals.
How can anyone not like this? The voices are beautiful, and it's an absolute credit to the original.
Yeah, I wonder what those 15 people were thinking (if anything at all)...
Jealousy!!
Possibly a lack of brains.
It is an awesome version!!!
Impossible to thin =k that some bonehead would listen to "rap" crap instead of this - isn't it? THIS is your - brain - THAT is your brain on drugs!!!
WOW!!! Brian wrote this for his late brother Carl.....Carl would be proud of this wonderful cover
thanks
Carl sang this song. Brian wrote it with Carl’s lead vocals in mind waaaay before he passed away.
Beautiful ladies, voices of angels.
God only knows where we'd be without you two making such lovely harmonies xx
i never paid attention to the lyrics until I heard this version . Beautiful !!!!!
Sweet Angels Singing !!! Thank You................,
No one comes close to covering this song as good as Mona & Lisa. Absolute perfection!
This cover was pure magic.
love how this builds up - simple and yet so rich
Can harmonies get any sweeter? Absolutely beautiful!
Covering what is possibly the best pop song ever written is risky. But this version honours Mister Wilson and is competent in its execution. It captures the essence and lights up this truly brilliant composition with respect.
... stumbled across the MonaLisa Twins - I'm hooked.
Yes just tonight I found them, they are great singer's and Looking. GOD BLESS Them.
They are quite addictive. Watch some of their interviews...
My life is better from me stumbling, but it often makes me late to the show.
Me too!
Yes they are the greatest since the 60's originals ! Hope they make a fortune, they deserve it !
Exquisite.
This is actually a very difficult song to sing and play; Brian Wilson at his best of songwriting; but very intricate chord progressions and key changes; He would be very impressed with You ladies, as am I....you two are just soooo good !!!
This women are incredibly talented keep up the good work mona liza
This is the ONLY cover of this song by anybody but the Beach Boys that I can listen to. Great job, MonaLisa Twins!
Second that. Beautiful voices. Original and fresh take on this all-time classic - but it also manages to remain true to its spirit. Awesome rendition!
Listen to the Fendertones, they are amazing with Beach Boys songs.
try the Bioshock Infinite version
Kayla Williams does brilliant Beach Boy covers. If you like this you'll love Kayla as well. Look her up on You Tube.
So in love with you two. Wow. Can't find the words ... You are incredible.
Speechless....
Super!
You girls are incredible!
This song is a masterpiece.
It is.
Indeed! Even Paul McCartney calls it the most beautiful "rock" song ever written.
I think Reflections Of My Life by The Marmalade is as good if not better.
Have a listen if you don't know it.
@@CB-xr1eg not sure if i know it but will look it up thanks
@@vidviewer100 Listen to it by Puddles Pity Party as well.
What a beautiful harmony, God only knows.
No words. Pure perfection ❤
It's great to see people from your generation playing these songs. Exposure to them from someone besides parents and grandparents is sure to keep these gems alive for another generation!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and your rendition gave me goosebumps.
I saw the "original" Beach Boys several times [including the TAMI Show in 1964], just saw Brian Wilson in concert last year. My high school played against the Wilson brother's high school [Hawthorne High] in football and several other sports. I've been listening to them since 1962. This version is GREAT!
Nicely done. There's hope out there.
I still keep coming back to listen to this song. I'm going to refer to you as the "Mona Lisa Angels" from now on.
Oh my. These ladies are simply fabulous. What a wonderful rendition of this beautiful song. True to the original, yet uniquely and masterfully new. Such beautiful harmonies,
Most musicians agree that this is the most beautiful love ballad ever written. You did a wonderful job here with sensitive vocals throughout which sounded absolutely gorgeous to my ears. Wishing you all the best for your musical future:))
just perfect.
The MonaLisa twins have done all the covers I did with my old band in the 90s and early 2000! Then the war came and now they are gone so its with sorrow in my heart and mixed emotions I listened to these very gifted girls! Rip Chris, Carl and Marc!
A divine rendition of perhaps one of the greatest songs ever written
My favorite Beach Boys song. You ladies are FANTASTIC!
Amazing how you are able to, as a duo, recreate the harmonies of this wonderful song. Brian Wilson would be proud!
These young ladies do a great job on this song
Another MLT triumph! Thank you for being on this world and making us smile.
Can't stop watching you two. Wow! Amazing! Next best thing to the Beatles. Good job! Stop being so cute! And, talented. You inundate my dreams. I'm 67 now. Still ride my Harley, play a little guitar... Actually learned a Beatles song that you two covered. You guys are so amazing... I spend hours, just listening to your voices. And, when you mix your voices to your photos... Wow! You two girls are awesome. Makes me feel young again. True talent. Thank you.
The more I listen, ....god Lisa has a beautiful (lead vocalist) voice. And, Mona is always perfect in harmonies and their voices blend so well together. Perfect duo. They remake almost and maybe some, better than the originals.
I'm at a loss for words....this is so beautiful............so much talent in this world...it's unbelievable......
Erneut ein multi-instrumentales fulminant melodiöses Werk höchster Güte.
Y qué me dice ud de la canción "Salgamos un rato"?
OMG. I have been listening to music for 50 years, and this is a new high.
I can only say wow.
Natural talent with natural beauty in MonaLisa twins is GOD's blessing to the world ...
Beautiful! Carl is looking down from Heaven with a smile on his face.
