"I'm Yours" cover reveal MLT wonderful acoustic performance talent early on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gmvezk4YeU
I really love the MLT cover of Jason Mraz “I’m Yours” cover. One of their early covers with their wonderful harmonies all over this great song, left a lasting impression of Mona and Lisa’s raw singing talent when I first discovered them. I never heard this song before hearing the MLT cover of it, and I have to say the lyrics are really beautiful and inspiring, and I love Mona and Lisa’s raw upbeat acoustic version of this song.
“I’m Yours”
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill, but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I’m trying to get backBefore the cool done run out
I’ll be giving it my bestest
And nothing’s gonna stop me but divine intervention.
I reckon, it’s again my turn
To win some or learn some.But I won’t hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I’m sureThere’s no need to complicate.
Our time is short.
This is our fate,
I’m yours.D-d-do do you
I’m yours, yeah, yeah, yeahWell, open up your mind and see like me,
Open up your plans and damn you’re free.
Look into your heart and you’ll findLove, Love, Love, Love
Listen to the music of the moment people,
Dance and sing
We’re just one big familyAnd it’s our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won’t hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I’m sureThere’s no need to complicate.
Our time is short.
This is our fate,
I’m yours.D-d-do do you
I’m yours, yeah, yeah, yeahI’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed.I guess what I’ll be saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.
It’s what we aim to do.
Our name is our virtue.But I won’t hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I’m sureThere’s no need to complicate.
Our time is short.
This is our fate,Sky is yours.
So please don’t, please don’t, please don’t…
There’s no need to complicate.
‘Cause our time is short.
This oh, this oh, this is our fate.
I’m yours.D-d-do do you
I’m yours, yeah, yeah, yeah -

Jung: Wow… You ‘ve never had heard of that song before MLT’ s version?!… The song is played quite a bit on a few radio stns here and I’ve always liked it from the getgo… One of the very few rare songs and music that’s currently out there that I like but I do agree with you in that MLT’s version even at their young age when they did it, clearly indicates the evidency of their gift of musicianship… I enjoy both versions and yes, Jason Mraz’s lyrics for the song is clever and catchy in his own unique approach just like in how the gals gave their spin on it!

Hi Jacki, yes I guess I did not get out much musically then. 🙂 There just didn’t seem to be anything contemporary worth listening to then, until I discovered MLT. It was about a year after I heard the MLT version before I checked out Jason Mraz official video and other live acoustic performances. It was a very universally popular song. Jason Mraz’s version is a much slower ballad with a reggae feel while MLT’s version is faster and more rock and roll. But it is very interesting that while very different, Mona and Lisa’s version stays true to the charm and essence of Jason’s Mraz’s original version, that it makes me want to listen to it for it’s own merit and unique experience, even at the very early stage in their musical development.

The only times I ever listen to the radio is when I wake up to it, yes, waking up to music is my idea of an alarm clock…. Lol… I don’t really care much for the majority of music type played on it but I like the radio personalities….
The other radio stns, that I’ll hear music from depends where I’m at, Tim Hortons, or another coffee/tea Cafe, grocery stores, shopping malls, once in awhile a city bus driver will have their own portable radio or…. I’ll get aboard a bus where the bus driver sings, yes you heard correctly, his repertoire is limited… Lol… Has a great voice but he keeps singing same songs over and over anytime I happen to be going on a bus and he’s the driver… As soon as he starts singing, I recognize it’s him…. Lol… There are the odd other singing bus drivers but he ‘s more known for….
I listen mostly to MLT, Glass Tiger, and a few others in my CDs as well as my old school classics of different genres I grew up with as I was influenced by the records my parents had, my older siblings had, what radio stns we had on in the house or car/truck…..
I just know awesome music when I hear it and thoroughly enjoy!!

I enjoyed the radio too. On occasional sick days in the winter, I’d just stay in bed all day just listening to the radio while I hacked and sniffled under the covers. The CBC usually, with all their unique and quirky programming. There use to be an awesome AM station where I live that played a lot of (60’s through 70’s) classics, and on Sundays and late night they played old 1930’s era radio dramas, and all kinds of interesting programs that played on the radio before TV era. But, about 10 years ago it came under new management and turned into a contemporary top 40 pop station, like we didn’t have enough of those crowding the airwaves already. Yuck, my radio listening air time took a huge nose dive after that. I do listen to the CBC or the NPR and BBC on the internet sometimes, but it’s not quite the same as radio over the airwaves with one of these:

Lol… Ah…. The good ol days of hifi stereos, the stereos that came in what looked a long dresser but had lift up door to where then find records and record player inside….. The 8 track tapes Era… Ghettoblaster/Boombox Era…. Portable turntables from the 50s/60s…the old crank up gramophone, jukeboxes, transit er radios, Walkman, I still use a Discman and… I own a cassette tape player/CD player /AM-FM all in one player(It’s not my original one… My actual cassette tape /AM/FM Player gave up the ghost years back…)…. I do have a portable DVD/CD player I sometimes use for my CDs to play on and a separate CD/DVD player thing to use with my old ancient netbook….. I even still have moreso for putting collectibles of knick knacks and dustbunnues gathering,… An actual even more ancient computer concept…. Tower on with both floppy disc drive and a CD Rom drive… 2nd hand given to me years ago….. LolI also still have the last modern at the time stereo system we had bought before the Dept store we bought it at went out of business back in the day, it was a record player with a cassette tape deck and stereo and CD system…
I ‘ve always dreamt to own an old vintage jukebox be it a Wurluzter or something else…. One can dream… The above screenshot is kibda like the old ancient stereo system we had up until we got a more modern one of the day and had that modern one until our last modern one, the one I still own,….
