In this beautiful song, although the lyrics may be interpreted as a song about a broken relationship, David Gates of Bread wrote it in memory of his father who died in 1963 before he achieved his success with the band. It’s such a moving song that expresses so many emotions better than any words ever can. It expresses that longing for the one you love, that is not with you anymore. For me, I feel that longing in MLTs songs like The Wide, Wide Land, June, and Close To You. Songs like this has the power to heal, as it lets you express those emotions you need to release. Thus is the power of music.

Hi Mike
Thanks for sharing your story, it is really inspiring, despite all the challenges life throws at you, you never let it stop you. So sorry to hear about the loss of your wife, my condolences. I am glad you found your way here to the MLT Club and discovered the beauty and wonder of MLTs music. Your farm sounds so wonderful with all those beautiful animals, and it’s great your daughter is back with her family at the farm to carry on the tradition, and I hope you get to fill the farm with all those beautiful animals again. 🙂

Hi Jacki
Doing OK here in Vancouver, thanks. It looks like the smoke is pretty bad out your way in eastern Canada and along the eastern seaboard of the US. Stay indoors and safe, and hope things clear up more in the coming days. Smelled some smoke a few days ago here, but cleared up. I guess we’ve been lucky compared to the rest of Canada so far. Hope Daryl in Northern Alberta and others are doing OK. I know the wildfires hit early and hard in Alberta this year.

Hi JP
Yeah you can feel that Paul and John were best of friends first and foremost before the Beatles, and the same is true with Georg Harrison. Despite the rivalry and the bickering towards the end, you could see a family like bond in the band. I remember in an interview after the Beatles break up John said about Ringo something to the effect “we were all worried about Ringo, but after seeing his recent work, we knew he would be OK”. There was a genuine care and concern for each other even after they went their separate ways. What a touching story this video reveals.

David Bennett posted another great video on Bach, the father of all music, past, present and future. Seeing this, I am thinking perhaps to save music for the future, the schools should include Bach in their music curriculum to instill some music appreciation and what great music is. It’s obvious many of the great rock and rollers of the 60s, 70s, and even 80s and 90s realized in the height of their careers the significance of Bach (Beatles, Kinks, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and on and on), and why/how a piece of music can be timeless and move people. Then the younger generations today would be more discerning and seek out good music of the great rock legends of the past, and inspired artists today like Mona and Lisa, and not passively accept the canned pop music being pushed by the music industry. Last weekend I listened to a local radio station that plays only “todays top chart hit songs”, and I almost gagged. It is really that bad, it’s not a generational thing. There was so much great music in the previous decades that music education was not necessary as kids could just listen to the hit radio station and find some good music, but that’s not the case today. Todays music industry is really trashing music.

Thanks Jerry! Mona and Lisa are both geniuses indeed. The fact they could write a song of this remarkable caliber at 13, their first original, says volumes about their genius talents. I don’t know, is it the air or water in Austria as it seems Mona and Lisa caught the Mozart bug at 13, and haven’t looked back.

Hi David
That will be great to see a never before seen asteroid world in November. As more man made probes/telescopes get out there we are uncovering new worlds.
There is another theory emerging, based on observations of the distant areas of the universe by James Webb, that time is an illusion, an illusion created by limitations of the mind to comprehend the universe, but everything that ever was, is and will be is happening all at once. First Einstein discovers gravity curves space and time, and now James Webb may discover time is an illusion. Mind blowing.

That would be pretty cool to have a newly discovered exo-planet named after you. It looks like TESS mission is expanded another 2 years to 2025. It’s astonishing what TESS and James Webb telescopes can deduce about a planets composition, masses, densities and atmospheric make up from just observations of “spectra of starlight absorbed by the planets atmosphere”… TESS’s setup of cameras to pan and observe a strip of the sky is impressive. It’s great TESS can work together with the James Webb telescope to investigate potential new exo-planets. Who knows what they will find in the next 2 years, as the James Webb continue to shatter previously held theories of our universe or now universes! Thanks for posting this cool video.
It will be interesting to see what Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds will discover (Lucy Spacecraft carrying instrumentation utilizing diamonds launched in 2021) with it’s mission expanding to 2033 as it tracks asteroids.
It’s amazing that maybe in centuries from now, if people in the distant future or aliens recover the Lucy Spacecraft expected to be drifting in space indefinitely, the Beatles will be one of the lasting recorded legacies of our humanity.
Onboard the spacecraft is a golden plaque that contains its launch date, the positions of the planets at the launch date, the continents of Earth at the time of launch, its nominal trajectory, and twenty speeches, poems, and song lyrics from people such as Martin Luther King Jr., Carl Sagan, The Beatles, and more. Because the spacecraft will not leave the Solar System or be intentionally crashed into a planetary body, there is a chance that future generations of humanity will be able to recover it.[32]

Hi Fred
It’s great, having MonaLisa Twins on your mind and feeling their music in your heart and soul will color your world every time. Those Mona Lisa socks sounds cool, I want one too. 👍😊
I recall Mona and Lisa received a pair for their birthday too, or was it Christmas.
The next time I find myself in San Francisco I will try to find that Mona Lisa Bar they showed in the San Francisco video and have a pint.

Tim, two bombshells indeed. If I were to draw any parallels to classic glamorous movie stars, Grace Kelly(Mona) and Natalie Wood(Lisa) come to mind.

Hi Tim
Good point, many of those actors are multi-talented and we only see their acting part professionally, but I am sure many of them were great musicians too, like Johnny Depp. I always worry a Hollywood producer might see one of Mona and Lisa’s videos and try to snatch them up to be glamorous actresses. Of course I would be there following them on the silver screen with the same passion and enthusiasm as their music. 😁

Hi David,
I probably did see some episodes with Suzy in it, but I just don’t recall. Happy Days always reminds me of my early high school days. Who could forget Fonzie’s signature “heyyyy” with his two thumbs up. It’s one of the shows like the Brady Bunch where you could see the kids aging and maturing through the seasons, it it kind of felt real at the time as I was going through similar changes, so those shows were kind of special.

Thanks Tim for sharing that video. I can really see the “cut from the same cloth” feel seeing George Young compared to his two younger siblings. I never knew the family link to AC/DC existed in the Easy Beats until MLT mentioned it when they posted their Cavern Club video of Friday on my Mind. There is that lead in guitar sound in Friday on my Mind that has an uncanny resemblance to Angus Young’s guitar part in Thunderstruck. It’s interesting in an interview Angus talked about how Chuck Berry was one of his guitar influences. The Beach Boys always mentioned Chuck Berry too as a great influence, and yet AC/DC and the Beach Boys are so miles apart in style. I like all of AC/DC music, by my preference is their early Bon Scott days stuff like TNT, It’s A Long Way To the Top, Ride On…. Their early days guitar sounds are so unique and irresistible.
