    After meeting and hearing you perform at Turnebridge Wells Assembly Hall. I am convinced that great music still has a place in this big, old, crazy world we live in. You both have a great blessing from GOD. Please always share with everybody all over the world. Thank-you for just being you and recognizing the great song writing talent that is Steve Harley. May peace, love, and joy always surround you as you experience this great life.

    I hadn't heard this version before today. I thought you two couldn't surprise me anymore. I mean, you're always just brilliant, but Mona... I'm speechless. This is going on favourites.

    This is just a masterful performance. The emotion in the singing, the power of the guitars, and the harmonica to top it off. Just incredible.

    There is no such thing as a song by you two that isn't wonderful, but sometimes, you just blow me away even more. I should thank you for introducing me to Steve Harley. Somehow, across the pond, I'd never heard of him. This is an amazing song that he wrote, but oh my goodness, do you take it where he never could. Mona, this is just so incredible, your vocal is perfect. Evertyhing about this is fantastic. One of my favorite covers you've ever done. Wow.

    There are very few Mona Lisa Twins songs that get only a few views these days. This is one of those secret gems by MLT. They tore this song up, better than anybody. Mona's lead is sublime.

  • @piggly-wiggly
    @piggly-wiggly 2 роки тому +19

    That didn't sound like a cover, it sounded like a song written for Mona to sing. A powerhouse performance with great support by the sis. The Twins never cease to amaze.

      You're right, I was thinking pretty much the same thing. Mona really nails it.

    Wow, some very strong vocals from Mona. Such a natural range, just lets it flow and grow, amazing!! And the harp playing is heavenly. Lisa providing some beautiful harmonies and finger picking. Great song!!

    That is such a great song. Mona you really sounded great taking that lead. Lisa the back up and riffs you put in were just perfect. Ladies I don't know what to say anymore, that was 6 years ago and you had made it then and with your new album coming out soon, I can't hardly wait because you have definitely made it in the Music Business with more to come. I'm so proud of you and I don't even know you!!!! But through your Music its so easy to get hooked!!!

    Dear girls,
    I was attracted to your music a long while ago as I am a huge Beatles fan. I’ve enjoyed listening to you over the years and have watched you mature both musically and literally. It continues to be my great pleasure to hear you perform with seemingly unlimited talent and ability.
    I have all your CDs and a copy of “Orange” on vinyl, plus lots of souvenirs from your gift shop collection. I am a true fan!
    I sincerely hope you both read this because among all the wonderful things you’ve done, this song is first in my mind when I think of you. Yours is the only version I’ve heard but you truly own it. To my ear it stands alone with the promise I believe to be what separates you and predicts your future.
    Best wishes and keep on keeping it groovy!

    My condolensces go out to all Steve Harley fans on his passing Sunday March 17 after a brief battle with cancer. As you see at the tail end of this video, the Twins toured with Harley and Cockney Rebel, in addition to recording this amazing cover. It now lives on in lasting tribute to Steve and his creative spirit.

    @tomlee812 3 місяці тому +1

    I bought the vinyl album (and other Cockney Rebel ones) when first released in 1975 and still have it. This is a haunting song, which I have loved, but your version (which I purchased on download) adds another dimension to it and is magical. You've brought an ethereal quality to the song which is hard to describe but impossible to ignore. magical stuff, for which I thank you. I know this was 8 years ago, but it gets better each time .......

  • @jungroe

    I just can't get enough of Mona and Lisa's beautiful singing in this cover. Oh can they sing, and with so much feeling and depth! I can see why Steve Harley keeps inviting these lovely girls to his concerts. They are absolutely irresistible!

  • @tomcalvo
    @tomcalvo 2 роки тому +13

    Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful song. From the blues harp to the harmonies and guitar, you've managed to strip it right down to its core and still add so many subtle and brilliant touches to it. It's no wonder Steve Harley thinks you're both so incredible!

  • @gliebzeit
    @gliebzeit 7 років тому +18

You can sing anything from Brian Wilson to John, Paul, George and Ringo, to John Sebastian to Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. You two are simply amazing! You can do anything! Plus your original songs are brilliant! :-)

      Steve Harley's "version"? He wrote it, it's the original.

    • @guarddog318
      @guarddog318 7 років тому +1

      orbita12... Lots of people write songs and then let others sing them, so "version" is perfectly correct.
      "Hound Dog" for example was not written by or for Elvis Presley, nor was he even the first to record it. Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller , the actual songwriters, never recorded/performed it at all

      Irregardless, Steve Harley himself was obviously very moved with the Mona Lisa Twins version of his song, as the girls toured all over the UK with Steve and the band himself around the time of this video release, as well as Glastonbury in 2017. Check out MonaLisa Twins Orange Album with all original MonaLisa Twins songs that are out of this world.

    There are times when I hear you two young ladies singing together that I hear similarities to one of my all time female bands, going way back into the late 1970's when I was a teenager. I'm speaking of The Roches. Different music often times but it's the harmonies that always sounded so good to me. Nice work ladies!
