Songbird Video Shoot – Photos

Fly far, Songbird …

Last month we filmed and released the music video for our new single “Songbird”.

We got a lot of questions about the filming locations and are currently cutting together a little behind-the-scenes video for it to show you a bit more of where we created the video. However, today we wanted to show you some “behind the scenes” photos already.

The whole video filming only took three days to shoot, and we filmed most of it along the Panorama Walk at Llangollen in North Wales (about an hour south of Liverpool).

As the landscape was already starting to look a bit barren and the trees were losing their leaves, we thought that embracing the rocky parts of that area was a good way to go. On our several camping trips through Wales last summer (here are some photos of Pembrokeshire and Barmouth in the MLT Club Photo Gallery) we truly fell in love with that part of the UK, so we are glad to finally be able to capture some of it in a music clip.

We hope you’ll enjoy the photos, and if you haven’t seen the finished video yet, you can do so here.

  1. Mona & Lisa, 2 beautiful Songbirds – love the song & love the video. Incidently, if ever you want a similar – looking location, but just in a different place, let me know; I could take you all to some beautiful scenery here in Shropshire. All the best, Andy.

  2. Jeannette, I feel the same way. I took the California album with me to work this morning and listened over and over again. It had been a while and man I want you to know it is so good just as Songbird but with a lot younger voices. Your dad is a great producer. You both sound so good and Lisa your licks on Hotel California were right on. Your harmonies are breathtaking!!!! So, what did I do but put it in again for the way home? Go figure. That was 2009? My God what a family indeed!!!!

  3. I am in awe of the all round artistry of this family. It is amazing to have such incredible musical gifts, but the creative vision and artistic nuances that go into videos like Songbird and the photos take my breath away. Put the music and the visuals together and it is magic that reaches into one’s heart and soul. Thank you for sharing your gifts so generously.

  4. It looks beautiful and a little cold. I don’t know if I could live there with the rain and fog. All of you look so great and someone said beautiful, aside from Rudi the ladies are all beautiful and I know your closer to the album completing because another great song was released. YEA!!!!! Stay Groovy!!

  5. Thank you Mona and Lisa for sharing, feels like family. The wonderful thing about the MLT club is I get to meet people from all over the world and to share stories and see photo’s of places I will never get a chance to see and that is awesome to me and this photo shoot your sharing with us now Mona and Lisa is simply gorgeous and lovely. You are so blessed to witness that part of this wonderful world we all live in. There is so much to see in this world and this is so cool to see what you both did for the video and other video’s. I did receive the song lyrics to Songbird and have it framed in our game room with all the family photo’s. I realized that there is another song called Songbird and it is by Fleetwood Mac off the Rumors album, but I must admit your version is so beautiful and so easy to listen to. When I got your lyrics in the mail? I made a cup of tee ( in your honor ) lit the fireplace and sat back and played Songbird over and over and it was so nice and relaxing. Thank you and keep it coming, we all love you in the MLT Club!
    Love

  6. You always pick the most beautiful scenery and this one is gorgeous! It looks like it was a bit cold and you all are such troopers! The pics are great, you are all so good at photography, but your Dad, wow, much respect to Rudi. Such a great family! Looking forward to the bts video. Thank you so much for sharing!

  7. Really enjoyed the photos. Scenery was awesome including Mona and Lisa and Michaela.
    Rudi works hard to get the best shots. Great team effort to bring us smiles and joy.
    Thanks for sharing! Brings us closer to the song seeing the behind the scenes. Beautiful song, I play it many times.

  8. Such a beautiful landscape and great pictures of it! I love how there are balloons popping up here and there and you all seem so devoted to your work and seem to be having fun at the same time.

  9. It’s really kool that you’re only an hour or so away from here. It’s a beautiful area. Like the video, these pictures are amazing. You all take wonderful pictures. We like to play “who took this one?” and try to guess who the photographer is.

    Your team work is very inspiring. You all look so focused in one shot, and then huge smiles in the next. Nice!

    Looking forward to the BTS video,

    Marlo & JP
    (five degrees below zero F tonight…brrrr)

  10. Beautiful country. love the cliffs, looking forward to seeing the behind the scenes video. Thank you for sharing.

  11. Such beautiful scenery. And the song and video fit so well together. Songbird is one of those songs that seem so simple yet is so profound. Set yourself free! On a side note, I received your calendar today. Well worth the wait! Thank you for all you do for your fans.

  12. What a beautiful setting you filmed the video! The camping you did last year along Wales really paid off in giving you a brilliant idea for scene to shoot music video. Especially loved the gorgeous shots of you both on the rocks with your guitars. Listening to Songbird while looking through these photos felt especially special. It’s amazing how you created such a magnificent video and song in such a short time span. Thanks for sharing these photos. Looking forward to the behind the scene video also. ????????????????❤

  13. Songbird is a great song.
    I love Lisa’s outfit, very cool. The scenery is beautiful. The drone explains a lot.
    Wow, all my sentences are short and choppy. Maybe I should go back to bed.

  14. The best part of every Friday is whatever MLT has for us Clubbers…the scenery is beautiful and it is always a pleasure to have Papa Rudi and Michaela get in the picture….thank you all for what you do❤️????

  15. I didn’t realize the countryside was so beautiful there. Lisa you look like an Irish lass with your red hair flowing under you cap. I know the wind was blowing where ya’ll are singing- was it cold? It looks it. Peace be

  16. Thanks for sharing the pictures of the shoot. It’s always interesting to find out just how much time goes into the making of a video. Obviously the whole MLT team is very good at this now. If fact, you all are so good you make it look too easy!! The behind the scenes pics are a beautiful glimpse into the days of the shoot and your lives in general. Much love and thanks for all you do for the Club.

  17. Hello ladies, I want to thank you again for taking the time to chat with me. I enjoyed it very very much. I hope you fine the time to watch the Star Wars movies…lol. I did save the girl in my game but we have been through a lot more adventures together so I am still working to get to the end…hehehe. These pictures are absolutely beautiful, the two of you always seem to have so many wonderful adventures. We’ll happy Friday and stay groovy,
    Your friend

  18. Breathtaking scenery to begin with, but then to put you all in it just leaves no room for words. Thanks so much for sharing!

  19. I love these pictures. The countryside is absolutely gorgeous and the photography is so well presented with the shots of Lisa and the balloon that everything just feels like it belongs together. Even in the absence of the magnificent song, the photography makes you beg to know the story being told. Nothing could be more lovely.

  20. Great pictures as always and everyone looks so happy. Special treat to include Michaela as well! It looks a lovely rural part of the country with dramatic cliffs which makes all the difference.

  21. Hello Ladies,

    These are stunning! Such beautiful scenery!.
    The perfect spot to film Songbird. The time of year is perfect, and captures the song.
    There is a picture of Lisa and Michaela bending down with the red balloon ???? but I can’t tell what they are doing. not even with the picture blown up
    Thank you so much for sharing these with us.
    Hope all of you are well.
    Best always.
    Rick

  22. The energy of the song, I suppose the deeper feelings of it, not only come from your fantastic arrangements and actual song writing /performance, but also where you are located. It is such a beautiful spot, fantastic creative people in it with their wonderful music and the various photo’s show this.
    Thank you for sharing MonaLisa Twins team 🙂

  23. Essences Groovily, Enchantinly, Vividly , etc captured and you all have tge keen innate knack of choosing the perfect locations, to perfectly go with whatever tge song and the whole concept of it just intertwines complementary with each other….A wonderful welcome for into this wknd with, Thankyou and Kudos, wishing it was that kind of weather here, instead of Insane DeepFreeze my area is experiencing for time being, this makes me think of warm Summerery weather type thoughts …. Thankyou for sharing the BTS photos and look forward to the BTS video of this whenever you have completed it to show …. ????

  24. All the lovely Wagner Women looked beautiful, however, Lisa you looked Stunningly Beautiful.
    Lisa along with that breathtaking scenery was about as Amazing as you can get.

  25. I always love seeing the photos that go to make up the videos. It breaks down the amazing process into appreciable parts, especially where there’s so much going on in every video with the family’s experience and Rudi’s drone talents. I also love how your whole family is so close and focused and together. I must agree with Tim about how lovely my favorites Mona and Lisa look, but I’m glad all the lovely Wagner ladies are represented! This has been a long week for me waiting to see what the MLTers – I was totally spoiled by the Advent calendar…

    1. I know what you mean about the Advent calendar Frank. I still end up visiting the club every day for at least an hour. I do miss them.

      1. There isn’t a video or duo session or radio interview or anything they do that doesn’t captivate me.

        They are such magnetic people – so talented and so beautiful inside and out…

  26. Thank you for sharing! The only way to improve stunning scenery is to put a Wagner girl in the photo. Both of you look wonderful but Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, you look marvelous! So gorgeous in the way your hair accents the color in the photos. And on the pictures on the rock, it looks darker. True glamour!!!
