I should have also asked here what is your favorite Beatles intro too as well as MLT intro?
Because intro’s are so impactful. Without getting too off topic, I remember in some old management training they say in an interview or meeting, the impression you set in the very first few seconds is so important. Maybe music is like that too, and the Beatles instinctively knew that and did just incredibly wonderful intro’s. Just my theory.

I recall when I first heard the intro to “Club 27” thinking to myself, oh wow, these ladies can do it as good as Hendricks! One of the best hard rock guitar sounds I’ve heard since Hendricks, and the Guess Who for me.

David, I like your description about being transported to “..an easygoing Tom Sawyer mindset..” with Wont You Listen Now. I can see why too. Great intro there with the harmonica and that easy going country sound.
Jacki, yes “I don’t Know Birds That Well” have that wonderful guitar riff intro similar to “Close To You” and “In It For Love”. In fact it is a Ukelele riff , how wonderfully sweet and unique it sounds! The MLT certainly know how to do great intro’s in their songs just like the Beatles. There is a lot of Beatles greatness that carry on in MLT song writing.

The Long and Winding Road is another great one Howard. I remember as a young lad in the 70’s becoming aware of rock/pop music hearing all this truly wonderful magical music on the radio, listened to by siblings, friends, or at school, and I would ask what it was, and the answer was almost always “it’s the Beatles of course”. Their music was so prolific. Later on I discovered others like the Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Super Tramp, Moody Blues, Elton John, Chicago, Eagles, Steve Miller Band etc….,but it seemed like the Beatles were the center of the music universe! Just such a huge music legacy they left.

🙂 Yes hard to be sure which is the evil twin, the Sun or Nemesis.
But yes it’s all only theory of course, but quite amazing how the “power of 2” exists in nature where many or most stars in the universe are theorized to be twins.
-
Speaking of twin power, did you know that most stars in the universe have a twin sibling star somewhere, and in fact the latest scientific theory is that every star when they are born, are formed in pairs, so every star has a sister twin somewhere. Our Sun has a twin star called “Nemesis“, but there is some debate whether it is responsible for causing mass extinction on earth in the past. The latest scientific theory suggests there is no evidence of that.
So the question is which is the evil twin, our Sun or Nemesis? 🙂
A little Sunday evening trivia about twin power in the universe.

Howard. So this was a complete Paul McCartney creation eh. Have to say he is a master of melody. Hey Jude and Let It Be are also credited to mostly Paul as the writer I believe, correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway, Paul’s version is backed by a whole string quartet! Yet Mona and Lisa’s stripped down version of Yesterday sounds so good, with just Lisa on the cello and Mona on acoustic guitar, and their harmonies, does great justice to the song. That is the magic and greatness of our MLT!

The movie Yesterday made me listen to the Beatles “Yesterday” a few more times lately. It is one of their most beautiful songs, and before the MLT, I think I would be hard pressed to find anyone else’s version worth listening to. The Beatles version with Paul McCartney singing, and the beautiful strings in the background was the best. Mona and Lisa of course changed all that and watching and listening to their video of Yesterday, when compared to the Beatles, I enjoy just as much. In the Beatles version, I hear what sounds like a few more strings, perhaps the Cello and a violin, but in the MLT version, Lisa’s singing with Mona harmonizing the highs in the background introduces another dimension to the song. Really beautiful, and was floored to see Lisa doing the Cello so wonderfully while singing.
-
Nice inspiration Jacki!
-
I cant think of an establishment with a Twin or Mona Lisa reference yet in my neck of the woods, but I will keep an eye open.

The USA MLT clubbers must all be out having holiday fun Jacki ? Twas nice and quiet at work for me because all my US colleagues at work were off too.

I hope you do take up songwriting again Brad. I think people are meant to create, and if you have that gift to be able to write songs, that’s special, and it would be a shame not to do it again. I struggled to even read music well enough to play piano by sight when I took piano lessons a long time ago, so song writing is way out of my grasp, but I plan to resume my piano lessons. Even bought a new digital piano for when I start. MLT are inspiring indeed!
-
Agree David. Mona and Lisa have great minds for writing. Lisa’s insight into what music is to her was just AWEsome!

Welcome Brad to the
We’re all glad to have you here. The MLT are a real gem indeed. They rekindled my love for music.
BTW, I’ve been to Idaho. Moscow Idaho to be exact back in the 60s when I was a very little kid and we were living nearby in Pullman WA when my dad was doing his graduate studies at WSU. My parents use to drive into Moscow to enjoy the quaint little town and go to one of the coffee places. I always loved coming along to Moscow Idaho because it meant I could ride the nickle Kiddie Horse ride at the supermarket there. Always remember that! ?

William, a warm welcome to the :
Really enjoyed reading your post. I can’t agree with you more about how special MLT original music is. I listen to Orange on my earphones almost every day to and from work, or else anyone of their other albums.
