    To continue the celebrations of 10 000 000 TH-cam hits, we made another video!
    The week before we asked you lovely people on Facebook and Twitter for your questions and got a whole lot of feedback. We debated doing a Q & A video but decided to answer in a different way this time and sat down with an interviewer.
    In this video, we talk about our journey so far and give you a little bit of a backstory on how we ended up where we are today, covering many of the topics we got questions about. The ones that have been with us on this ride for longer will be more familiar with a lot of it but hopefully there is something new for everyone.
    We raided our archives once again for old footage and found some fun stuff which we included in the video. It was a great way even for us to look back on our lives.
    THANKS to you for watching…. TEN MILLION TIMES. You are legends!
    Stay groovy,
    Mona and Lisa

    Honest to God, is it possible to watch this interview and not fall in love with these two? And if there was a Nobel Prize for parenting... their Mom and Dad would win it in a heartbeat.

    I have a bone to pick with you two young ladies!!! I have just spent the best part of a full day trawling your work since something popped up on my FB. I've not had lunch, only had one cup of coffee, not put the trash out and missed an appointment for beer with a friend - and it's all your fault!!!
    I can't recall the last time i met a youngster (I'm a young 64) who even knew very much about the 6os beat music let alone appreciated it. Yet you whippersnappers have grabbed it by the ears, shaken it down and revived it in your own style without losing the original vibrancy of it one little bit. Throw in your own high quality material into it and it's no wonder that your audience and fan base is so diverse in both age and nationality.
    RESPECT - I want to mention respect. You exude respect in all manner of ways, to your parents, to one another, your fans and to the original artists. You brighten a dark world and long may it continue. You have me signed up!

    I am 72 years old and just discovered you. I formed a band when I was 13 which lasted until I was 20, ending when I myself spent a year studying at University in Germany. We played nearly all the Beatle songs you have recorded and I felt the joy return instantaneously listening to your covers. It truly brought me to tears. I am a physician at the end of my career but have kept music in my life throughout and love to hear young people recreate the songs and feelings of my youth. You have really captured the joy not just of the Beatles but of music itself. I am now yet another of your passionate fans and followers. Vielen Dank und Viel Erfolg!!! Gerry

    Oh, my! I discovered you beauties, just some days ago, when I watched a couple of Beatles covers from yours, and went high. As a Beatle fan, since 1963, I really appreciate your performances.
    Your harmonies are at least as good, as the originals, if not better, as well as the instrumental playing. I can see the same happiness, as the young Beatles radiated. I get goose bumps, from yours.
    When I see closeups, of your singing, I imagine two beautiful John Lennon sisters by the likeliness of mouths and other mimics. Almost spooky, but I love it.
    So Please, please me more.. Warm hugs, from an older swedish man.

    I too am 72 and just discovered you. What a wonderful breath of fresh air you are. Because you’re siblings the textures of your voices blend into one. Truly beautiful to hear. Your joy and youthful exuberance comes through in all of your performances. Your musicianship is very competent and skillful. You execute well. The videos I’ve been seeing were from a few years ago, so I hope they are still representative of who you are. Not that it matters, but I was a musician in the industry for 15 years, so what I’m about to say comes from personal experience. I think you’re wise to avoid the major labels. The only thing they can do for you is in mass distribution of product. You seem to be able to do that yourselves albeit on a smaller scale. I sincerely hope you can stay true to yourselves, have fun with it, and stay musicians, and not become “stars.” That is a road that corrupts and destroys. All the best. I’m now a fan.

  • @TheLenaweeTrekker
    @TheLenaweeTrekker 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    The reason they are so popular is that the music they play with such love and enthusiasm touches the better angels of the spirit.
    Their music simply makes you feel good. Remember when music did that, and it's not only in the covers they perform, but also in their original music.
    And they are correct about the inspirational aspect of their influence. There is a 1970s Magnum acoustic guitar that is being used again for the first time in decades.

I absolutely love the MonaLisa Twins for the freshness of their versions, as well as their original songs. I have their first two albums. it was a revelation to discover them. They have brought their harmonies to a world that desperately needs harmony. Thank you, MonaLisa Twins for bringing such wonderful music into our lives.

These girls are working hard at their music and doing it themselves and with their immediate family and not relying on talent shows or chance to push them in to the limelight.

    I'm new to the MonaLisa Twins, having just discovered them a few days ago by way of a TH-cam video recommendation. As a very discriminating music listener, however, I am impressed with what I've seen and heard. These are two beautiful, hardworking and talented young ladies who are headed for greatness.
    MLT appear to take their responsibilities as musicians and professional performers very seriously (which is more than can be said of a lot of their peers). They also seem to be pushing the creative envelope and advancing their musicianship and songwriting abilities with each passing year, which is vital to lasting success.
    Moreover, I ❤️ the fact that they both finish the other's sentences in this interview. You can't fake that sort of genuine, heartfelt synchronicity, and they are so much the better for it.
    Thank you, ladies. I've subscribed to your channel and will continue to follow your achievements. Be well and take care.

      I just sent them an e-mail from Nashville asking if they've ever done Do it Again by Steeley Dan. Putting Dad on keyboard and Lisa could slay it on guitar. Mona would lay down multiple tracks and back up vocals as she does so brilliantly. I can hear it imaginatively...that would be unbelievable. I really like all of their original music as most times the quality of tribute bands is amateurish when they try writing originals, even by really good singers and musicians because they don't have the skills. They only mimic...but NOT the case with MLT. Mona and Lisa even make a lot of covers better than the originals. Its that "it factor". They've got it in spades. And adorable to watch whether live or video studio or on a radio interview. Mona never misses a beat and Lisa is a Virtuoso. Love love love em!!

    I only came across you guys yesterday ... and I am hooked. You are musically brilliant , just seem so down to earth and genuine girls - not to mention drop dead gorgeous. I love the fact that you create this music with the whole family and that your Dad and Step mum came to the UK to support you. As this was filmed in October last year I am hoping your album has been released by now so I can find it ... Just keep on doing what you are doing ... just magical ...

    I'm so glad I stumbled across one of your videos a week or so ago. I loved the music when it was original and I love the way you cover it. Your own original music is great too. It's been years since I've enjoyed one artist or group this much. I just spent a couple of hours listening to you on You Tube, I've ordered your new CD, and I look forward to hearing more from you. I'm 66 years old and I don't listen much to modern music, you ladies have made me a fan! I'm sharing you all over social media.Thanks!

    Great interview. Nice of you to share some of your 'back story' with us. Two hours of 'Smoke on the water' made me chuckle! I remember practising guitar till my finger were numb! I got to be an OK player eventually - never got as good as you guys. Sadly, my ataxia has led to my giving up guitar - I simply cannot make the chords anymore.
    It seems to me that you really love what you do and you seem, to me at least, to have a very honest and level headed approach to music, career and your supporters.
    Keep up the good work!

    In an age when pop stars are manufactured and marketed like soda pop it is heartening to see people like this creating create music and developing as musicians though talent, hard work and smarts. Certainly they had some advantages in the music biz as this interview describes but still they deserve every success. Their original compositions are excellent. Greetings from British Columbia!

    Welch Überraschung, dass Sie aus Österreich sind, darum erlaube ich mir auf deutsch zu schreiben. Ich bin sehr bewegt und begeistert von Ihrer Musik. Bin 65, eingefleischten Beatles Fan, mache selbst Musik seit meiner Jugend. Jetzt wieder intensiver, weil ich nicht mehr arbeiten muss. Was soll ich sagen, toll was Sie machen, gerne würde ich das Mal live sehen, sollten Sie Mal in Berlin auftreten wäre gut wenn mir das nicht entgingen. Beste Grüße

    "I think that's success"! So wise.
    I was a teen in the 1960's, and despite all the negative we still have, the fact that your story is applauded as inspiring, gutsy, smart (rightly) today whereas in the '60s it would have been roundly criticised as non-conformist, anti-social or whatever indicates there has been some advancement of improvement. Keep the fist up, or whatever is your appropriate metaphors. 👍👍🇨🇦

Thank You Mona and Lisa for your gift of wonderful music. I Really Like your harmonies and seeing the sheer joy that is evident in your videos. This 2016 interview is the first thing on my youtube MonaLisa Twins playlist that i created. In addition to this 2016 interview 2016 interview, there are over 100 of your covers and original songs on my Mona Lisa Twins playlist. I try to introduce your music to friends as often as possible. I would LOVE to hear y'all record Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water and also The Beach Boys Don't Worry Baby and In My Room. I think your covers of those songs would be great. Also, if y'all ever think of recording some Patsy Cline, I think y'all would knock it out of the park. Thanks again Mona and Lisa for your gift of wonderful music

    Yes! Call what you create masterpieces. They are that. Don't be shy about accepting praise for your truly great revival of what The Beatles meant to popular music. I've heard really good musical analysts as well as famous musicians to follow their lead say that John and Paul (Even George had his moments: My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes the Sun, etc.) In a way you're developmental path paralleled that of John and Paul - growing up with music during the birth of rock and roll, feeling the influence of American jazz and soul sounds brought to Liverpool by sailors visiting New York. I only recently discovered your TH-cam channel and I wish I had found it earlier. I adore your sound, both in your originals and your covers of The Beatles and other 'sixties groups. You do them all so well!

    I'm 60 and discovered you today. I have been binge watching and binge singing. My bass has even had a workout! Songs I sang as a kid and as a teen all fresh and new again.
    I notice that in many of your covers, you have inverted the original harmonies; ie, the original melody, you sing up an octave and what was a high harmony is now a low harmony. I found this double fun as it makes it easy for me to follow one of your parts or create another lower part.
    It really is so good to hear (and join) people who really can sing and sound great without autotune etc.
    Between you two and Ladysmith Black Mambaso, I have had a blast today!
    Now for some port to soothe my vocal chords........

    Since having John Sebastian play on some tracks, Mona and Lisa returned the favor and sang on a new John Sebastian CD. Fans will love hearing them harmonizing with a Tennessee twang on “Nashville Cats.” Wait until you hear them sing the line, “Been playin’ since they’s babies.” They’re on at least four songs, so check it out.
