I'm A Believer - MonaLisa Twins (The Monkees Cover)

[@Charlesheusel62]

These twin sisters are tremendously multi talented singers and guitarists. They are a breath of fresh air to todays horrible fake automated musicians and equipment. You Go Girls keep covering those old hit songs. You all are phenomenal!

[@daveinmilwaukee]

As a 60s kid who is now in his 60s, it is such a joy to listen to these lovely and superbly talented young women doing these fantastic re-creations of the Beatles and other music that I have loved for over half a century. No fireworks, no smoke, no slinky outfits, no armies of backup singers and dancers. Just extreme talent, fabulous sound, and remarkably polished and confident stage presence. And kudos as well to their excellent rhythm section; the bassist and drummer are very tight and right on the mark. Best of luck and keep making this great music!

[@andrenadeau6071]

I agree whit you, I'm 61 love these two ladies wow bring me back to the old day when I played in bars, wasn't has good has these two.

[@horseyhorselips3501]

I’m 66 and agree with you both, oh if only Well I’d still like to meet Jewel Kilcher And Jessica Simpson in person together and have blood tests done with them both if you know what I mean

[@kevinohalloran7164]

I don't think this music is just teenage pop. I mean it's 55 years later and this music still does it for me, we still enjoy this stuff, and these girls, this band are great! You guys said it better than me.

[@may7296]

Your not in your 60s

[@timothyjones3410]

I wouldn't mind some slinky outfits. One slinky outfit. Just one slinky outfit one time for one minute. Just one glimpse of a one minute one time slinky outfit.

[@daviddemar8749]

Ladies I'm 60 years old now so you can just imagine how many times I have heard that song over the course of my life- the original version and covers I've heard it a gazillion times. And yet you amazing musicians made it new for me. You are miracle makers . God bless you and keep rockin! 😊🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎸🥁❤👍

[@neilwilson5785]

When you needed sunshine you got rain. We all did.

[@flybob63]

Ihonestly think they’re the best musical discovery I’ve found on the net inmany, many years.

[@joysblues]

After 50+ years as woman professional singer, musician (lead & harmony, electric bass , acoustic/electric guitar), arranger, songwriter, producer…and having lived thru the original bands that played these covers I have to tell you; I LOVE the MonaLisa Twins. Over-the-top stellar vocals and harmonies, interesting slight chord changes (from the originals) that not only don’t bother me, but really appeal to me. And modernize the song, and…oh yeah…ARTISTIC LICENSE!! Great arrangements, balance, and production. Rock SOLID, snapping, grooving, hand-in-a-glove-tight bass and drums. And that bright, honest, magnetic vibe of joy. 🔥 I have an aversion to crowds (unless I’m onstage - not in the crowd), and I can count on one hand, the acts that I’d actually go see in concert…and I’d go see MonaLisa Twins!!! Yowsah! Yeee haaa! Put this thru your Bluetooth speaker and it’ll sound even better. Bass, balance, and subtleties, I promise.

[@MonaLisaTwins]

Wow, thank you so much ❤️

[@flickwtchr]

Having listened to a handful of songs by MonaLisa Twins thus far, I must say wholeheartedly, I'm a believer :)

[@Charlesguzman-q9u]

Me Too !!!

[@SteveLongo]

I was a teen when Monkees made their first debut and have seen them live twice but MonaLisa Twins is a breath of fresh air. God bless them!

[@michaelbeckwith6177]

Great song and great performance!! I'm 71 and I really liked The Monkees and I REALLY LOVE The MonaLisa twins!!

[@jls1948]

I agree, young man (I'm 73) ;-)

[@Charlesguzman-q9u]

Monkees forever !!!

[@TheStuport]

Deep In Beatle Country Singing A Monkees Cover.....and The FANS and Both Groups are All Singing Along in Heaven and On Earth! Brilliant Ladies As Always!!

[@45mcrosstx]

Received my "Live at the Cavern Club." I love these old school songs. It's a return to real music for me.

[@budsurtees4224]

These are beautiful covers. The fact that they cover so much of the "old" music is testimony to the fact that this music stands the test of time and has become timeless.

[@brucekuehn4031]

There was actually good writing back in those days and this one by Neil Diamond of course!

[@carljonas2798]

So many groups do these covers, but I think the MonaLisa Twins show they really enjoy what they do...well done!

[@allentork1325]

I've been a Monkees fan since 8 th grade. Great job of playing the Gretsch ! ( uncle Peter ha ha ) would of been proud.

[@ricmarquez7726]

These girls are the best

[@HarrySatchelWhatsThatSmell]

The Ladies taste in music is impeccable.

[@ramicabj1905]

Amazing. I'm Argentinian and I can't believe the good music they make. Thank you very much for your music, keep up the good work, you will go a long way. They really play too well and they were able to take this opportunity to play so well at the Cavern Club. I love you so much and long live MLT ❤💛🎸🎸🎵🎶👏👏

[@ramicabj1905]

I'm sorry they are already far but hey is what I came up with😄❤💛

[@annedegand7934]

Hello girls from Belgium. My husband played guitar in a little orchestra and played that song so often. Now we are old but seeing you playing I'm a beliver remembers me so good moments, thanks.

[@timtv2826]

I just love their energy. Looks like they're having a lot of fun

[@thedave2429]

It must have been an honor and a thrill to play sets on that hallowed ground. You just rocked that stage and did everyone who came before proud!

[@donnyj53]

I thing that when you are as talented as these young ladies, you can have a lot of fun with music. I can see that the MonaLisa Twins enjoy making music together.

[@daviddemar8749]

My "antidote " to the pandemic in partially locked down NYC is to send great music to people that I know who need to be uplifted. Of course The MLTs are on the list . Now I'm sending you much love during the Thanksgiving weekend in the United States. I'm thankful that The MLTs are in my world. 😊❤🦃🍁🍂🍃

[@billloraff9132]

Can you imagine having this much talent that these girls have, I have probably watched all of their videos and they can play all of the different instruments !

[@RobinAngel61]

Just got my "live at the Cavern Club" & Christmas CD's....LOVE THEM....thank you for the gift as well....PLEASE KEEP THIS MUSIC ALIVE!!!

[@johnhorazy12notes]

MLT makes cover songs as though they were their originals, they make them their own. Just wonderful music

[@claudelamoreux8543]

As all good "covers" should be.

[@angelmartinbaezaornelas]

I agree

[@davidmacphee3549]

They got me into the heart of makes KZbin great!

[@TeleCaster66]

Made it thier own? They play fine but this is a straight cover, how did they make this thier own if they didn't change anything?

[@Hazzie2722]

As good as the originals..MonaLisaTwins remastered these songs in their own style..making the 60s still fresh till now..with new younger fans..great job girls..ladies

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

You two young ladies are pure sunshine!

[@chrisludlam-GrecoThai]

What an amazing rendition! Thanks ladies. I bought the Monkees Single all those years ago,but this is WOW!!

[@jakesoriedem4747]

I'm a believer in the Mona Lisa twins. I believe you are the all time best duo I've seen and heard. Thank You and the entire band.

[@ricktwomey8439]

In a recent interview in the Parade Magazine Neil Diamond was the featured story...I’m A Believer was his first #1 as a writer and he gives great thanks to The Monkees for making it a world wide #1...he said he was able to eat for a couple weeks after that..you know how these struggling songwriters are...don’tcha girls !! Great job and Lisa your wailing toward the end was perfection...Thanks and love you 😍

[@auramac]

Lisa has the true edge. her upper register vocals on this really surprised me. She needs to wail more often- would love to her her go nuts on Zeppelin's Rock 'n Roll. This proves she can handle it. Project more soul and emotion than we've come to expect. On guitar she's always a revelation- with exquisite harmonies between the two. But would love to hear her out of her comfort zone. This song started off as another pleasant entry, then shifted gear and had me sitting up.

[@MrSpookyHook]

Ein echtes Konzert mit Publikum.... Ich brauche sowas ganz dringend wieder!!

[@poulmadsen7969]

OMG! That song is sooo iconic and no wonder - the sound is cracky and you got it spot on. Thanks for sharing. I am a big fan of you ladies

[@davidbrewer8719]

Heard these lovely ladies on Sirius XM The Beatles channel the other day. I emailed Peter Asher (From Me To You show on the channel) about these ladies and he wrote back and said he is very fond of them. Way to go. Credit from one of your covers singer (A world without Love)

[@MonaLisaTwins]

Peter is the best! Glad you found us through the SiriusXM Beatles channel ♥

[@DPMConnacht]

As you may already be aware, "A World Without Love" was written by Paul McCartney. Peter Asher is the sisiter of Jane Asher (Paul's girlfriend and one-time fiancee). John Lennon hated the song (referring to it as "another one of Paul's silly love songs"). John rejected the song and wouldn't allow it to be a "Beatles" song.

[@jacksonfl]

So much fun! Wish that I were there.

[@ronmann802]

you girls are just awesome beyond words

[@beckiebuist803]

Yes they are, both absolute sweethearts, and astoundingly talented, they're here for a reason, there is no evil in their direction.

[@antoniolima1712]

Hi Mona and Lisa .. when you play it is not just a cover .. it's as if the song is reborn with all the original emotions and added to the beauty, joy and the magic MLT touch. I loved it. I need to have the álbum about your Last gig at the Cavern Club . wow.

[@kevinohalloran7164]

Yes! Very well put!

[@jungroe]

Your stage performance is brilliant, and when you apply the MLT treatment with your wonderful harmonies and rich vocals like that, I've never heard I'm A Believer sound so great! Wow Lisa so much power and depth in your lead vocal there! Both your vocals are incomparable and your live playing guitar work is rock and roll at it's finest, so full of energy, fun and passion, like a well tuned musical powerhouse. Your whole live album is like that, that I have been lucky enough to preview since Friday over and over again exclusively at the MLT Club!

[@maryellecasupanan8315]

Another great song sung by the best twins ever!! Love your music!! Can't wait to watch you guys perform again once this pandemic is over.. Cheers!

[@walterhambrick8705]

This was the first "rock" song I ever learned. Wonderful performance. Thanks for shariing.

[@garycurry4600]

Great Sunday morning music...what am I saying? Great music ANYTIME!! Love your work. Greetings from Florida, USA.

[@smittysmith4746]

I was 7 years old when that song came out, never missed a show the monkeys tour was the biggest tour of 1966 and Jimmy Hendrix opened for them!

[@56dinosaur]

Yes, I was at one of the six shows(Miami Beach Convention Hall) where Jimi Hendrix Experience was one of the opening acts. I was 11 years old. Historical info says the show was in July 1967. The other opening act was an Australian singer named Lynne Randell. She had a lifetime problem with pills (Amphetamines), and in 2005 she died from an overdose in her native Australia, I don't think that she ever had any records released in the U.S.A., but she did release a few records in England. Presumably Davy Jones knew her.

[@davidmacphee3549]

My Wife "to be" was there. Lucky kid! .and .... Jimmy Hendrix, My God!

[@michaelrose3101]

Lynne Randell had a few singles released in Australia a couple being Ciao Baby and Going out of my head. Born in Liverpool England the family relocated to Australia when she was about 5 years old.

[@kevintownsend7469]

@@56dinosaur "Ciao Baby" was released in America but due to lack of airplay this excellent recording wasn't a hit, consequently the B side "Stranger In My Arms" was released as the A side in England and later became a bit of a cult classic and yes she became friends with all of the Monkees particularly Davy and Peter.

[@smittysmith4746]

@Robert Caskie Never missed a show!

[@beagle7622]

If they appeared here again in Liverpool, I would time my trip to see them, the 2 guys are great too. I was lucky enough to grow up watching lots of live music. These guys have so much energy, just naturals.

[@blessedjohn]

Love these girls talent and energy!

[@1moredayof]

Ladies I was unaware that you like the music of the Monkees! And wow! The Cavern Club fans are singing along too! So great! I know that Mike Nesmith and Mickey Dolenz are paying attention!

[@UlloMark]

FANTASTIC... thank you, M&L, for sticking with these original lyrics, which i've Loved for Lo, more than 50 years now: 'and then I saw HER face...' and Yes, kudos to Neil D.

[@Dragunov3912]

So so good especially with Lisa growling at the end

[@Hammerman48]

Always loved this song. I’ve played it myself in many bands and duos over the years. Great job and amazing venue.

[@michaelrose3101]

Good on you. Your chance of getting in the rock & roll Hall of Fame is probably way better than The Monkees ever being included. They should of been inducted eons ago.

[@jls1948]

So much energy, enthousiasm, joy of playing, singing and beeing there ! I love that performance : it makes me feel at least 55 years younger !

[@guilhermezack7376]

Every single video of the songs that you cover or make, i love all of them! You make music better to listen, you're in 1st place of my list best musicians, together with The Beatles, congratulations for what you have build in your career through this years! Thank you for being awesome and make our days Groovy!

[@obbor4]

Playing, or attending a show at the Cavern Club must send shock waves of electricity through the collective bodies of everyone in attendance. It even looks like the spirit of Ringo has got itself into your drummer. Thanks for sharing!

[@thomasodetto4670]

I love watching these two great young ladies. They are both natural performers. I wish that I could see them in London. Sadly , I live in the USA and with the Covid Virus, I will have to wait,

Enjoyed that. Have seen The Monkees live a couple of times (Oxford, 1989 and Bournemouth, 1997). Would like to see the MonaLisa Twins one day - don't know if it'll happen (June is an earworm at the moment) . One thing I notice from that clip: the audience seem to all be around the same age as me! Nice to see the teenagers having a good time ;)

Found MonaLisa several yrs. ago. Love their twist to old songs. Wish they'd come to the US and tour. I really like that at the 22 second mark Mona looses track of where she's at and Lisa notices and turns to her and smiles from the 25-30 second mark. Just love it...

It was written by Neil Diamond. His version is available on KZbin.

[@williewinkles9288]

Neil Diamond wrote it, but The Monkees were the first to record it

[@thomasschmidt9855]

@@williewinkles9288 Exactly. The Monkees recorded the song in 1966, Neil Diamond released his own version in 1971. The Monkees reached number 1 in the single charts (UK, USA, Germany, Austria...).
