Can only echo many of the comments already on here. These talented ladies never cease to produce masterpiece after masterpiece. So glad that I recently found them as my life is now richer. Keep up the great work ladies!
I was born and grew up in Hull and played in bands in the 60's and 70's I knew many fine musicians including Mick and Geoff from the Rats as they were before the Spiders and played most of these songs you girls do at one time or another and here I am 69 years old and picking up my guitar again! What an inspiration you are!
Seen Bowie in the eighties in Toronto, Peter Frampton was his guitarist and he did this song as an encore, He is smiling down hearing this beautiful version. You girls never fail to blow my mind.
So this is how I do it. When I'm tired; when I need a pick me up; when life is just a bit too much I watch one of your videos. Or maybe two or three. Your music is beautiful. So many of the songs you sing are beautiful. And your joy in what you do, your joy in each other goes straight to my heart. Thank you. I joined your MLT club a few months ago because I really wanted to find a way to say thank you for all the joy you two have brought me. Maybe when time rolls along a bit you two will find yourselves sitting up there with Bowie's Starman, singing along with him while you wait for us lot down her to let all the joy into our hearts
EVERYTHING you do (covers and originals) is incredible. I'm so glad I stumbled onto your videos a while back. You play, I smile. Thank you so much, and WELL DONE!
It’s not the sparkling talent. It’s not the breathtaking vocals, Nor the lovely arrangement. It’s not those rich guitar tones. It’s not the stunning visuals, Or the joy you radiate. It’s much, much more than just that.
I saw Bowie at Winterland in San Francisco, October 28, 1972. Seeing and hearing you two wonderful musicians play this song brings back great memories of great friends. And a sad memory of a lost love. Thank You.
The twins are beautiful, charming and talented. The version and interpretation of the music by the late Bowie is wonderful. One of the best clips I've seen in my life. Congratulations to all of you.
Agree with you. Have you seen "Morning Has Broken" ? Although I am a Beatles fan, the band with more covers by the Twins, I was paralyzed and catatonic while seeing that clip.
Chills. As proven over and over again, the MonaLisa harmonies are heavenly. This is a gem done to perfection. Starman is a staple in our home and taking on Bowie is no small feat. Only Nirvana had done it right, until now. Thank you for your superb music! Lifts the spirit. ☮❤
That was outstanding. Bravo. I especially love that people of your generation are able to take this classic music and appreciate it, and then reflect it back in a fresh light!
When MLT does a cover, it’s almost always true to the original intent and feel of the song. It usually goes one better by using a more timeless arrangement, so dated instrumentation gets stripped out. That said, they can’t do anything about letting the children boogie. That’s on Bowie.
just found this song on you tube and it's the best cover for me of this song love the harmonic love the voices and the harmony!!! you girls should be proud! David is smiling down on you!
Chills when chorus kicked in and drone pulls out. You ladies are amazing. Love you!!! Rock in Heaven David Bowie! Say hi to my young, new starman, Nicky.
Listening to you girls for the first while writing. Loving every minute and I've been a music lover 56 years. Love your covers and this one is Wonderful! Bless you.
BEAUTIFUL Only the one word is needed. This brought tears of melancholy and happiness at the same time. Video and audio production are "out of this world" great. Mona and Lisa are charming and so very, very talented. Stay groovy!!
My husband passed July 25,2018 so now it’s July 2020 and found your video which I will share to his obit site and I named a star after him after his psssing, so tonight as you sing beautifully THIS song, I’m crying but also happy. The perfect medicine. I love you MonaLisa Twins
The genius of Bowie + the genius of the MonaLisa Twins. In the Lanzarote lunar landscape. So often, I hear the playlist running in the background, out of sight, and here comes that distinct crunch of high tops on gravel. With enough impact to be in front of that howling wind. And after all those harmonies, that swell with the orchestra building, gives way to the simple pure melody, one line on a guitar, vocals but no lyrics, that resolves it. An amazing song. It has everything.
This is hands down the best version of 'Starman' that I've ever heard ... including the original from Bowie! Just listened to 'Africa', with the twins and Mike Masse. Once again ... the best version I've ever heard. Lisa rocks a six string and the base in Africa was perfect. I can't help but be inspired. Clearly, the Mona Lisa twins are something very special.
WOW! As we'd say back in the day: Far Out! What a brilliant cover! I like the cover even better than the original. I love this video, too. Two gorgeous ladies sitting around in a setting that looks like the Moon, and singing "Starman!" I can imagine a group of people sitting around a campfire, gazing up at a beautiful night sky. The music is brilliant, the videography is brilliant, the setting is brilliant and the vocals are out of this world. Fantastic cover!
Wonderful. Saw Bowie live in a club in Liverpool in 1972. He ended with a 1hr acoustic set when management turned off the power. Having done Ziggy he got his 12 string and played This Boy. Lennon & Bowie would both be so proud and pleased with you arrangements.
Another fantastic cover. I love how all your music always has the unmistakably MLT sound but you are able to change things up. Your vocals are out of this world.
When I saw Bowie doing Starman with Mick Ronson on TOTP in 72 as a ten year old it changed everything in three minutes rock n roll was totally altered forever
Yet ANOTHER high quality cover from "our" Twins! And we MLT club members got to see it last week! I'll bet David would have loved it! Papa Rudi needs to win some kind of cinematographer award too!
I'm a Bowie fan, mainly the beginning, with your space theme, and this is one of my favourite song. That's why I follow you two, you always bring back the same feeling of when I was young and I heard this, and other songs, for the first time. Thank you. With this scenario, if I were with you, after the song, I would chase UFO in the sky.
I get a kick every time I see one of your videos in my feed, it doesn't matter if its a cover or an original. I know before clicking that for the next week ill be listening to the song non-stop.
A fan from Tucson Arizona! Loved , Love the Beatles and 60s music, Love the Mona Lisa Twins too! Not to easy to cover a Bowie song and maintain the brilliance yet you so easily do it.Why should any of us be surprised, you do it almost every time with the Beatles too! God Bless!
These ladies are amazing and awesome. They're Fun, Love their voices and their choices of music. It's all good, Like them as much as Josh Turner, Kami Waltz, Reina del Cid, Toni Lindgren. Keep it up ladies
Starman has always been one of my favorites and your cover is awesome, the beauty harmonies .. when both together star to sing second verse “then the loud sound did seem to fade,,,” I’ve got chills. Brilliant, on my view your best cover, congrats
Wow. I am so pleased to have found this band. I can imagine the reception they must be getting with their live performance at The Cavern Club. I couldn't live further away unless I lived on the Moon (I'm in New Zealand) or I think I'd try very hard to hear them live. If the COVID-19 madness ever ends ladies, please think about touring 'down under'.
You two never fail to impress me with your musicianship and entertainment value. This is a winner and a refreshing slant on this iconic song. Thank you for the music ladies. Best wishes.
Hi Mona and Lisa! Absolutely brilliant! I love this song and you girls give a such a phenomenal performance. I've been following you for years now and you never disappoint! Excellent! 😊
I bought (and still have) the original Bowie vinyl when it was first released. I was also lucky enough to have seen him live at Earls Court in London in 1972, with my then girlfriend. I loved the original and this was a beautiful rendition and a lovely video. Can't believe I missed this one before on your channel. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic cover! I am always so impressed that Mona and Lisa can take my favorite songs, improve them and make me love them even more! Bravo - such a fantastic cover! - Ed Brown
Wow! Just sublime ladies. I remember when I first heard Bowie’s ‘Starman’ in the early 70s - I’ve been excited with the anticipation and as usual, I haven’t been disappointed with this very pleasant, if unexpected cover. That's a great bass line throughout (hats off to Rudolf, or Lisa) and it is enhanced by Mona's understated, gentle drumming and haunting harmonica. The music is the perfect backing for the twins to weave their magic with their vocals.
@@MonaLisaTwins I think a tight rhythm section is essential to any good band and between Papa Rudi and Mona, I think we have perfection here. But we've come to expect that from MLT!
Great! Keep doing it every day even if it's only 15 minutes when you first begin again. God bless you 😊👍🎶🎶 I haven't played for 2 years because of MS but I'm gonna start again also
I would go as far to say that you two girls are even better than the originals you cover! Great harmony, impeccable playing, and you're more attractive than Ringo. (No offence) xx
I dont know if you will read this but i want to say that i love all your covers and your original songs. I am very happy everytime i see your videos and listen to your songs. Please keep singing and doing your best!!
You are my heroes! I love you, and want you to know that I heard Him. He told us not to blow it, because He knows it's all worth while. Great vocal recording, Great Guitar and Harmonica recording, Great location and timing for video, Great aerial shots (thank you!), Great hair coloring!! Perfect for a favorite Bowie [the first Starman] song!! Thank you!!
Its absolutely perfect! you have me in tears on how good your voices meld into this song. absolute perfection and you now have me as a fan. thanks for making my day MonaLisa twins .
Can only echo many of the comments already on here. These talented ladies never cease to produce masterpiece after masterpiece. So glad that I recently found them as my life is now richer. Keep up the great work ladies!
Thank you so much ☺️ Glad you found our music! Welcome!
@@MonaLisaTwins Thanks a lot for your kind comment.
The harmony on the voice melodies is insane.
You've given me joy and hope the last 2 hideous years. Thank you. You young women shine.
I'm a 911 operator and there's not enough love and happiness out there. You guys bring a smile to my heart during these trying days.

Bill Roberts Absolutely 🎼same here just a"recommended for you" so glad I subscribed 🎸🎼💕✌️
I SO AGREE with you. I'm so pleased I have discovered them, too.
What is it about their voices that makes them such a joy to hear?! (Rhetorical question. I don't think it can be answered really!)
@@fionaleathart8383 Twins with completely different voices. AMAZING:
Me too!
It’s not the sparkling talent.
It’s not the breathtaking vocals,
Nor the lovely arrangement.

Nailed it! Absolutely nailed it! Enthousiastic without going bezirk, and taking it back at the end with slowing down. Love the video, too.

You know, I've *almost* gotten used to your covers and songs being amazing...and yet I'm still amazed every time. This was *so* good.
Gee whiz! A lovely song that cries out for the accoustic guitar justice delivered here. Beautifully filmed.
just found this song on you tube and it's the best cover for me of this song love the harmonic love the voices and the harmony!!! you girls should be proud! David is smiling down on you!
Totally cosmic! Your voices and the production of this performance are out of this world.
The girls never disappoint doing covers of songs created by geniuses- this is another example of a great Bowie Song..
You bring back the THEN and show us that it still NOW. Tremendous.
Chills when chorus kicked in and drone pulls out.
You ladies are amazing. Love you!!!
Rock in Heaven David Bowie! Say hi to my young, new starman, Nicky.
What a beautiful song. David was a free spirit with a beautiful soul and you two honor him so well. Incredible video location too. So fitting.
Listening to you girls for the first while writing. Loving every minute and I've been a music lover 56 years. Love your covers and this one is Wonderful! Bless you.

Bowie can be proud of you where he is now . Great Job.
No doubt this is still floating through the galaxy for David's enjoyment.

Lennon & Bowie would both be so proud and pleased with you arrangements.
You know Ziggy Stardust was one of Davids best records and so under appreciated. I almost lost it listening to your version. I got it as a gift.
zIGGY iS my Fave ..
@@billybobb7252 When that album came out it was one of his absolute best well produced albums. It is a true classic.
This is such a special song. It means so much to so many. You’ve done it justice. Thank you.
You two always bring a fresh sound to the airwaves. Bowie would definitely approve of this. Your harmonies are unmatched. Thank you for the music!
Omg. Beautiful. I can't say anything else.
Another fantastic cover. I love how all your music always has the unmistakably MLT sound but you are able to change things up. Your vocals are out of this world.
I grew up with that song. Loved David.'s music. Thanks for recreating it. You guys are awesome.
Suenan estupendo!!! Son increíbles!!!

Great version of Starman. David Bowie would be proud. Very cool video also. Loved the setting. It worked well with the song.

I love the spacious outdoor videos, so visually striking, beautifully produced ... and, of course, the music!
I am so glad that you have devoted your lives to making music. Wishing you the best.

Absolute stunning video! I wish I could conceive visuals like that and the music was...well, stunning. So far, this is my favorite video!
Just discovered your videos, and I have to say, they are all brilliant. Your taste of music, your singing, your harmonies. Everything is golden!
Woooooow. Goose bumps! What a wonderful tribute to David.
this video and the cover.. are sublime!
My new favorite version of this song!
Thx for doing all the right chords, keeping close to the original arrangements, then adding harmonies where there weren't any... great Bowie gem

I like the way you stay true to the original tune while making it your own.
Love you girls.. Your both fantastic...
You absolutely nailed this. David smiled when he saw this video. He's waiting in the sky.
I must admit as much as I love your covers I’ve put off looking at this one being such a massive Bowie fan but girls you’ve done a great job
Wonderful dynamic.
Well, there you have it. I really love how you put your own twist on this great classic. 👍
Thanl you for your amazing and fresh covers. These classical songs get a modern air through your versions. Thank you from Catalonia!!

Also.....Nice drone work! Nice colorization and lighting of focused areas..... Kudos to the production guys!!!!!!
Papa Rudy and you made a wonderful job with images, encore bravo 👍
When the Ziggy album came out I was 15. Most everybody had it. Great job girls! The location was the icing on the cake.
:)
wow. i feel so emotional now. Such a beautiful version
Just gets better..and better..I can see this in a major movie..fitting right in..
That's the most beautiful cover I've ever Heard

Videos like this restore my faith in humanity. Thank you! ❤
One of the best covers by the twins.sweet video too
The twins have inspired me to start playing again!
You have no idea how happy that makes us :-)
Great! Keep doing it every day even if it's only 15 minutes when you first begin again. God bless you 😊👍🎶🎶

Good luck!!!🤗🌟🌠
