Both Sides Now - MonaLisa Twins (Joni Mitchell Cover) // MLT Club Duo Session

[@RobinVucitech]

I love it when young people sing this old music from my generation especially when they do it this well!

[@dalefischer4654]

Just as great as Joni Mitchell's!

[@fredgundersen5882]

Brought back memories. We sang this song at HS graduation in 1971. Thanks

[@mikepasquale71]

No auto-tune, no processing, just 2 guitars ,harmonica, and 2 angelic voices with harmony and genuine emotion...what music should be!

[@ericdee6802]

This is pure talent, very professional duo!. ✌️

Fantastic, as usual!

You missed the foot tapping percussion.

[@rozzgrey801]

I hear a little compression on the vocals to smooth out the dynamics, but that's OK, but what a terrifically articulate voice!

[@piggly-wiggly]

After being away from KZbin 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.

[@thomastruong8382]

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!

[@arachnipope]

The un-cluttered beauty of a song well played will never go out of style.

[@rb-today]

I think Joni Mitchell would be proud of your work!

[@garyodom474]

MLT is, or should be, the greatest act in popular music. Since they havent sold their souls to make it happen, I think we fans need to srep in and make sure these young women get their due. Pass the word to everyone.

[@briangeorge5935]

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.

Just fabulous rendition. Nothing more needs to be said.

[@joesiebert9738]

WOW, I grew up in the 60's, and love all that music from the 60's, and 70's. I have not heard one bad cover from that era, that the Mona-Lisa twins do. They are also very beautiful ladies.

[@piggly-wiggly]

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.

[@tsfurlan]

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.

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.

[@markmgrdichian6730]

Thank you.

[@johnkerney24]

I was but a child when this song was published and hit the air waves,, I probably heard it and do not recall it during those early years. Enter the 70s The Eagles, Chicago, legendary Singer Songwriters like Jim Croce, Carole King, smooth 70s Soul Music, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton and the louder more assertive sounds of bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen & Aerosmith. I can vaguely recall hearing 'Both Sides", but it failed to gain my attention,,, maybe the opening lyrics were too dreamy & fluffy, maybe the radio stations of the American Midwest passed this song over as well. Who knows? It simply was not on my radar. I was just playing the MonaLisa Twins "Duo Sessions" play list as my head was up in the clouds,,, rather the ceiling fan that I was annoyed with repairing (no parts needed and only a few tools) when this song came on. The opening lyrics again failed to bring me in, but just as my repairs entered the completion phase; "Well something's lost, but something's gained in living every day" sounded in all of its angelic glory. "Well something's lost, but something's gained in living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all" It just all made sense. Good Lord, what have I been missing? Repairs aside and feet back on the ground; this song racked up yet another KZbin view as I listened again, but more intently and with a more accepting mind. Those opening fluffy lyrics certainly paint a surreal landscape background for the rest of the song that reveals a deeper meaning of the duality of life. The ever so salient lyrics suddenly become masterfully crafted poetry, well deserving of the brilliant simplicity of this MonaLisa Twins Duo Session recording. I love discovering anew what was once old. Thank You.

[@tomcalvo]

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.

[@bobmoslow4636]

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.
