    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @thomasgassett7157

    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! 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.
