Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell Cover by MonaLisa Twins
-------------
We caught the Joni Mitchell bug a few years ago, and her music has been part of our lives' soundtrack ever since.
When it came to these stripped back "Duo Session" recordings that we do regularly over at the MLT Club we knew we wanted to try some of her material for one of them. It's hard not to fall in love with this woman, her music and fearless, poetic, honest song-writing. The song and its words speak for themselves ❤
It is also the first time we recorded something with an open guitar tuning, one of Joni's trademark sounds.
We hope we did the song justice and that you'll enjoy this little clip, filmed in our "Duo Session" corner.

I could listen to these two all day, every day.
I pretty much do.
I love it when young people sing this old music from my generation especially when they do it this well!
I grew up in the 1970's listening to this masterpiece by Joni Mitchell, but hearing this song as a duet, I feel your performance out of this world, Thank you so much the MonaLisaTwins!
I think Joni Mitchell would be proud of your work!
As somebody already said in the comments below, these young women are very special and they deserve all the recognition and acclaim they can get.
No auto-tune, no processing, just 2 guitars ,harmonica, and 2 angelic voices with harmony and genuine emotion...what music should be!
This is pure talent, very professional duo!. ✌️
Fantastic, as usual!
Fantastic
You missed the foot tapping percussion.
I hear a little compression on the vocals to smooth out the dynamics, but that's OK, but what a terrifically articulate voice!
These girls always show the respect to the song. Beautiful
This songs a masterpiece, right up,there with any song by the Beatles , Paul Simon or anyone else. Songs like this made me ponder life as a very small child, and I'm sure it molded my character in a positive way. The golden age of music.
Totally agree
as good as ''changes' by Phil Ochs do check it out...
Joni 🇨🇦👏👏👏✍️👍🏻🥂a great song writer....Neil Young said she’s the best 👍🏻
One of the greats for sure. Was used in an episode of Mad Men and it was spot on perfect.
@@djknox2 I TOTALLY agree you!!!!!
When you can cover such an iconic song by the GREAT Joni Mitchell and it doesn't lose anything in the translation your sublime musical artistry is undeniable!
Thank you Joni for this song. Thank you twins for doing it justice.
they turn classics into classics
After being away from UA-cam for a while, this was the song that really made me take notice of how much the MonaLisa Twins had grown over the years. I was a fan before, but since I've been absolutely hooked.
I love these beautiful twins so much they do wonderful covers of The Beatles, The Kinks, Joni Mitchell and so many other classic acts but they also have a bunch of their own songs for you. If you haven’t heard their original songs , do it; you won’t be disappointed. These girls are very special ❤️.
They do one of the best [ getting better] I ever heard
Love their version of Donovan's "Catch the Wind".
The ease with which Lisa goes in and out of falsetto is incredible. And when Mona backs with "something's lost" at 2:57 my knees go weak. The Twins are rare talents indeed.
Just fabulous rendition. Nothing more needs to be said.
As a musician, I cannot escape this Master Class. As a spectator, it's a balm for the soul. Thank you. The world is a better place because of MLT.
The un-cluttered beauty of a song well played will never go out of style.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and you two did it proud... like we all knew you would!
This cover made me cry.. just perfect!
I cried listening to this.
We in the MLT Club got to see this a long time ago! Now it's YOUR TURN! How awesome is this???!!!
It is indeed absolutely beautiful.
@Tommyr ... I am in the MLT Club also and when this vid started I was thinking they looked younger & like you I actually remembered seeing it before!! Why can I remember this but not all the important things? Partly due to too many brain cells fried along the journey of life. 🤦♂️ 🤟 🍻
@@minutewithmark7564 This was done last year. Not that long ago actually.
Mona, lettuce and tomato? Yummy!
Beautiful just Beautiful, I'm in my 70's and was was brought up with real music and this is just PERFECTION xx
Thank you for keeping these early songs alive for the next generations...you’re both wonderful!
I really admire your work, very good!
Very Good!
Excellent
Yeah!
The MonaLisa Twins are my favorite performers. How couldn't they be? With such sensitive, talented treatment of the Classics, plus their original songs, they provide their audience with the best of past & present. I loved Mona's finger picking on this. Her harmonica is reminiscent of Dylan's in its gentleness. The high harmonies are special, as is Lisa's lead... I'm also pretty sure they keep looking lovelier as time passes. What serious professionals they are.
I seem to recall hearing Lisa say she doesn't get to use her falsetto voice enough. I certainly enjoy hearing it. I hope to hear more of it in the future.
Yes. More sensitivity and vulnerability. She has the range and should use it more often.
Through most of the song, she sings a bit lower than I have heard her sing before. Fits the song perfectly.
Probably my FAVORITE Joni Mitchell song... and there are soooooo many Joni songs to choose from too! Joni's music always evokes emotions with her heartfelt lyrics and music. But I believe you have actually SURPASSED Joni with this one! The emotions and feelings that you pour into this version take this to the stratosphere!!! This could actually be my new favorite MLT song!!!
Very talented young women, beautiful voices, amazing harmonies and they can play those instruments too. Love to see them live when the pandemic is over.
Very nice. I've watched you two ladies grow up over the years on here, singing the songs from when I was a kid. Thanks for helping keep that music alive. You are very good singers and musicians, I've purchased a lot of your music and listen regularly. Heading to buy this one now. Thank you.
Hi Just Moose Mike
@@zlamdat Hi Zlam. Merry Christmas!
Joni Mitchell wrote Both Sides Now....Judy Collins had the HUGE hit with it in late 60s....Judy Collins 82nd Birthday was yesterday May 1, 2021......and now The MonaLisa Twins bring back this great song with their own special touch...great vocal from Lisa ..harmony from Mona and Mona’s special touch with the blues harp beautifully accentuating Lisa’s vocal....WELL DONE GIRLS❤️🧡
Totally forgot it was Judy who sang it! My mind told me it was Joan Baez
What a nice surprise on a Sunday morning! A great cover of a timeless Joni Mitchell tune. Thank you Mona and Lisa.
These ladies are a treasure. They constantly bless my soul with their music. They remind me of a better time and what makes music special. They are part of a minority of artists that are keeping real music alive.
Beautiful job on this song , Thanks Ladies !!
I have followed your progress through the years, and you both have matured into AWESOME musicians. Wonderful rendition of both sides now.
slow music is not that easy as we think, both of you did it perfectly!!
Ladies, you have done it once again! Another beautiful, emotional cover of a normally untouchable song. I’m sure Joni is enjoying this one as much as I am.
I absolutely adore your version of this Joni Mitchell classic. Your vocals Lisa are so beautiful and rich as always, it carries so much character and color. The beauty is breathtaking. Then Mona you join in with your vocals and harmonize, and you both take this song to heights I never thought possible. Absolute beauty. Kudos to Mona's harmonicamagic, provides such a soothing and wonderful voice line alongside Lisa's sublime singing. You honour Mitchell's masterpiece magnificently with your truly brilliant interpretation. 🎼🧡
You two broke my usual attention span of 10 seconds. I just could not stop listening until it was done. That was refreshing like spring water.
So beautifully done! Joni will be proud ❤
two unadorned musicians playing unadorned music, my personal favorite.
So Pure
Great job ladies, singing a song which is not easy from the great Joni who is one of the best singers of all time. Superb vocal from Lisa and her equally accomplished sister Mona.
You two are like Angles sent from Heaven! #Canadafan
As fabulous as ever ladies. Keep smiling and producing these fabulous songs for all generations to listen to.
Beautiful. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists.🥰
Lisa's singing here is superb, further - and beautifully - enhanced by Mona's gorgeous harmonies. I wonder why nowadays I don't listen to anything but the twins in the car? Oh yes; nothing else comes close...
So good I'm out of words
Fifty-five years ago my high school English teacher made us a bring in a poem we'd found every month. This was on of my contributions. Fifty-five years on, it means even more now than back in the day. Thank you for this beautiful rendition.
Thank you ladies.
Fantastic. Best version I have ever heard - and no gimmicks. Just two terrific musicians.
Thank you.
I listen this song almost every day. I love this twins. Greetings from Argentina
Amazing song by the great Joni Mitchell.
The other day I watching a vídeo of a commemorative show in honor of 75th anniversary of Jhonny Mitchell where a constallation of artists performed by picking up her songs. Now seeing this cover that you guys did, I came to the conclusion that if you had participated, the tribute would have been more beautiful, and the honoree would have been dazzled just I was now, listening and seeing you again. Thanks.
It’’ me just to correct a mistake: where you read Jhonny Mitchell, read Joni Mitchell.
I cannot understand how anyone could listen to this and press dislike?
This is a really beautiful cover of a song that’s fairly hard to do justice to.
I love your Beatles covers and clicked on this as I love the Joni version and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Well done!
1pm
I will never understand dislikes on beautiful music !! NUTZ !!!!
exceptional ladies!
Wonderful, the secret to cover songs is selecting the perfect match to the singing and performing presentations. This is a perfectly produced cover. Especially commenting from me who was a teenager when this song was first released many, many decades ago.
Bravo & thanks!... May you both find the joy that you bring to so many!...
Bravo! A fantastic cover of a great song by one of the best solo female singers of all time.
Thanks for a beautiful start to my day. This one is perfect. Your harmonies are giving everybody goosebumps.
Every time I watch a Duo Sessions video, it becomes my favorite until I watch a different one.

When a song and performance on this level of beauty garners zero thumbs down, we will have ascended to a higher plane of existence as a species....
Unfortunately, here in Brazil the violence against women has increased during this pandemic. I hope all women have the same respect you gave to this Joni's song. It's very touching.
Nossa.. quem lê seu comentário ficará com a certeza que todos os problemas do mundo e mais este estão no Brasil., infelizmente essa estupida e injusta violência contra as mulheres é um problema antigo e praticamente mundial..um dia será vencido.. mas sinceramente creio que aqui nao seria o lugar para levantar tal assunto,,comente sobre a maravilhosa musica delas., aliás., nem entendo o pq disso., nem a letra desse cover fala sobre esse assunto., vlw mais uma pá de terra na imagem do nosso país.. cada tipo de brasileiro.. arfff.
@@antoniolima1712 Você tem razão não é só um problema do Brasil. O mundo é quase todo machista, mas foi o que me veio em mente quando vi o vídeo e acredito que você, como uma pessoa esclarecida, não pode dizer que é mentira.
@@ademirmanzato8760 Sim, tanto que afirmei .ser um problema mundial, enraizado e infelizmente com difícil solução.. só me referi ao fato de não ser o lugar para .. só isso. mas .. discussão inútil..acredito que não houve uma má intenção inicial..e tbm talvez eu tenha sido muito crítico.. bom..vamos curtir nossas queridas Mona e Lisa..bom gosto vc tem.. Abrcs.
@@antoniolima1712 Sim. Vou procurar ser mais otimista na próxima vez. Abraços!
Superb performance. It's love's illusions I recall,. T'was much fun, so much better than the reality of it all.
This song is one of The 20Th Centuries Great all time songs. Wonderfully done.
I Love it 💕
All the best from Sweden 🇸🇪
Keeping The Spirit of Music Alive
The Genius that is Joni ..
One4 opf the best songs by one of the best songwriters
The fingerstyle arrangement here is so well thought out and executed. It fits perfectly within the fabric of the song. Heavenly vocals. These two ladies never cease to amaze.... And there's that unmistakable joy that seems to shine through in every performance.
Vocal on "Feather canyons” :) wow, gorgeous!
Fantastic beautiful talent & multi tasking displayed by mona harmonica, sing & guitar !
I’ve always loved this thought-provoking song, such beautiful, poetic lyrics. This is a wonderful rendition with lovely harmony as always, you put a big smile on my face. Joni is a Canadian (as am I), and she is one of our most distinguished and beloved singer-songwriters, so I understand your fondness for her music. You definitely did it justice. 👍
Thank you.
So much respect for their talent and stewardship of classics. And their originals are excellent too. Been listening for years. They get better and better. Keep the music coming ladies!
Great cover as always . My mom bought the Judy Collins version a long time ago and I loved it ever since . I miss you Mom
Just as great as Joni Mitchell's!
Just amazing, two beauty and incredible talented women singing a incredible nice song... its a caress to the soul... Thanks Mona and Lisa, from Mexico...
This is one of the greatest love songs ever written. they do it well, brilliantly actually
Very nice! It really captures the spirit of the song.
I keep listening again and again, miracle/magic thank you Mona Lisa.
Beautiful women, beautiful music, no tattoos, just plain beautiful!
Beautiful your vision...your feeling.... I agree with you 🙏🇧🇷
I also hate tattoos! I wonder why so many formerly good looking girls let disfigure themselves. But Mona and Lisa are beautiful and their music is perfect!
Joni is now more a painter than a musician, but that doesn't matter as long as these two sing her songs.
@@torstenbroeer1797 I am a man, and you reference directed specifically to women, disfigurement and tattoos comes across as awfu)ly chauvinistic. Men also wear tattoos.
I am not a fan of tattoos, but I am all in favor of freedom of choice. Some people like art on their bodies. I don't regard them as any less because of their personal choices.
@@jamesdolan4042 Well, I'm a man and I like women. I do not like men (at least not the way I like women) so it is not so disturbing when they disfigure themselves. But regardless of man or woman: Tattoos are ugly!
@@torstenbroeer1797 thanks for the clarity
As a 76 years old chap, I’ve heard many, many versions of this song and loved most of them. This one rises above them all - including Joni’s.
No, but then I am only 70.
Excellent but not better than Joni !!
As a 74 years old chap, Sweet Judy Blue Eyes' version set the standard.
Excellent but not better than Joni....different but not better....
Judy Collins had the most beautiful cover ever! Judy's voice was pure gold!
Actually in some ways, vocally, I preferred Judy Collins cover over Joni's on this song.
You two are helping to make the world a better place!
What a lovely sad song to awake to on a beautiful spring morning here in northeast US. One of your best. Thank you.
Never thought that that there could be a version of this song that is as beautiful as Jonis original! Great!!!!
This is how angels sing.
I saw Judy Collins sing this song in concert. It has been one of my favorites ever since. This version is absolutely beautiful. Ausgezeichnet!
Joni Mitchell was one of my favorites when I was growing up. Parking lots, yellow taxis, and both sides now... Favorites of mine! The realness and feel of your interpretation more than pleases this old man.
They love music.
Well done, ladies.
Beautifully Done ladies ❤
Pure WORLD class. Such incredible talents ♥
The timing and harmonies you guys have are telepathic at times.
Don't you just feel the vulnerability?Great,great,great.
Well done Ladies. Thank you.
LIsa, your vocal range is amazing! Mona, awesome harmonies & harp! Keep it up ladies! 🎼🎶💛❤️🎸🎤
Good job on this classic song! It's cloud, love and life illusions that we really don't know at all. I never felt the somber, somewhat dismal vibe of the song before. I felt it here. I was hoping that Mona would look to the camera but she didn't. Part of the mood desired here, I guess. Left me a little melancholy.
If you never felt the sombre, dismal quality of this song, you may be used to the Judy Collins version. 👎
@@homeyginomolly I am used to the Judy Collins version which is the most upbeat, brighter version. Quite a difference in the different versions, I can see now.
Beautiful ladies. As always.
I think Joni would approve. Lovely indeed.
Back in the days I heard the song so many times but I never followed the words until you to sang this God bless you I love you girls❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤😂Kalani.
Joni would definitely approve! I never realised you had such an amazing vocal range. Just wonderful...
