I'll Follow The Sun" has always been one of our favourite melodic Beatles songs. It sounds so simple at first listen yet it's anything but. The chords are complex, and the way the melody loops around when the verse repeats has always fascinated us. Add Paul's sweet voice and it's a timeless masterpiece.
We remember vividly a time, many years ago, when we were about 14 years old and riding on a bus through Austria on a group excursion with our grandparents and a whole bunch of their friends and their grandchildren. The two of us spent the entire ride in the last row listening to Beatles songs. It was at the height of our Beatle Mania phase when we were in the middle of discovering and devouring their entire back catalogue and learning all songs by heart.
"I'll Follow The Sun" came on on our mp3 player (no iPhones back then), and we put it on repeat at least three times. Then we walked through the aisle of the bus to our grandpa, made him listen to the song, got our mp3 player back and continued our Beatles listening session while driving to some castle or museum - The Beatles seemed much more important at the time. Frankly, they still are! 😉
For some reason, it was especially important to us that our grandpa listened to that one song in particular, because we couldn't believe how beautiful it was and just had to share that with someone. He'd never heard it before but he said he liked it so we were satisfied. Mission accomplished.
Now we hope you like our humble take on it!
We initially recorded this song a while ago for one of our biggest fans and supporters. It was a birthday surprise for him and we loved creating something that we knew would make him smile. Now he and we are excited to share it with you all.
Please let us know what you think about it.
Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

Right! We are exactly like that...full emotions of a life burst out seeing Young generation feeling and singing the same way!

[@MrOldhoot]

And I thought it was hormones for prostate cancer that had reduced me to an emotional wreck:) This is a terrific cover of this song which has always been one of my favorites. I've been playing guitar since I was aged 14 but never really managed to crack the picking for this one, not that I've given it the practice I should have. Maybe I'll have another go, I expect there's a video somewhere.

[@ScottMorgan88]

When I was in Grade 6 in the 1960's the teacher said the class could listen to music while we worked on a project. We voted to listen to "I'll Follow the Sun" over and over again, on repeat.

[@michaelross8794]

"One of the most underated, beautiful Beatles songs out there." THIS!!! I've been saying this for years. Finally! Validation! From actual professionals, who nailed this...no, they MORE than nailed it. What an amazing performance.

[@raimundwessinger9700]

it is an interesting chord progression anyway! a good song is a good song is a good song. But to cover the beatles is a hard job.....

[@pabloguerrero7582]

I'm 68 now. I grew up listening to the songs of The Beatles and I'm still a big fan of the unforgettable Fab Four. As someone said this beatiful tune has been unfairly underated for decades, as well as the whole Beatles For Sale album. Even though this song was written by Paul McCartney when he was 16, I feel that *_I'll Follow The Sun_* shares with *_For No One_* the same sort of disenchantmet filling Paul's mind when he wrote these beatiful songs. Thank you Mona and Lisa Wagner for gifting us this wonderful cover.

[@rogeliovillanueva396]

I am 65 years old and the Beatles have been part of my life. When I hear you perform your songs so professionally, all kinds of happy memories come to mind. Thank you very much and I'm already a fan of MonaLisa Twins! Congratulations and greetings from Mexico!

[@mattikarjala1216]

At 71, I'm totally amazed over the perfection of the twins' renditions of not only the Beatles but so many others too. I never thought these immortal tunes could be covered the way these young ladies have done and so naturally too. Great music indeed and my humble thanks for the gift that is you.

The best beatles covers band is the bootleg beatles , these girls are on another level they make the songs their own and sound as fresh as they were in the 1960s

[@rgfisher21]

I agree that it is one of the best Beatles creations ever. You ladies did a beautiful job on it. When I moved from my home in Vermont home at age 63 to join the rest of my family in North Carolina, I felt a part of that song and had it on repeat for about an hour as I left home on my drive to NC. It was so symbolic of my leaving behind friends and family for a new life. I was a very good move and that song reminds me of that moment in my life like it was yesterday instead of 10 years ago.

So glad the twins slowed this down a bit. I've listened to the Beatles' version for 57 years now and have never gotten over how it feels rushed, like "Hey guys, our studio time is almost expired and we've got this one last song of Paul's to lay down."

[@dougmacmillan1712]

Hey cousin MacMillan! I bought "Meet the Beatles" the day of release. I was 14. I' bought "Beatles '65" on the day of release as well. I still have them. I agree with your assessment of their version, it is more relaxed. The Twins knock everything they do out of the park!

Very happy to see these 2 highly gifted young women are staying together as a singing duo. Must be no sibling rivalry going on. They just are so good together, with all their little interactions.
