I'll Follow The Sun" has always been one of our favourite melodic Beatles songs. It sounds so simple at first listen yet it's anything but. The chords are complex, and the way the melody loops around when the verse repeats has always fascinated us. Add Paul's sweet voice and it's a timeless masterpiece.

We remember vividly a time, many years ago, when we were about 14 years old and riding on a bus through Austria on a group excursion with our grandparents and a whole bunch of their friends and their grandchildren. The two of us spent the entire ride in the last row listening to Beatles songs. It was at the height of our Beatle Mania phase when we were in the middle of discovering and devouring their entire back catalogue and learning all songs by heart.

"I'll Follow The Sun" came on on our mp3 player (no iPhones back then), and we put it on repeat at least three times. Then we walked through the aisle of the bus to our grandpa, made him listen to the song, got our mp3 player back and continued our Beatles listening session while driving to some castle or museum - The Beatles seemed much more important at the time. Frankly, they still are! 😉

For some reason, it was especially important to us that our grandpa listened to that one song in particular, because we couldn't believe how beautiful it was and just had to share that with someone. He'd never heard it before but he said he liked it so we were satisfied. Mission accomplished.

Now we hope you like our humble take on it!

We initially recorded this song a while ago for one of our biggest fans and supporters. It was a birthday surprise for him and we loved creating something that we knew would make him smile. Now he and we are excited to share it with you all.

Please let us know what you think about it.

Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

I am a 75 year old English guy, and I know all of the Beatles songs. You two ladies put your own personalities on it, and you nailed it. It was lovely. Thanks.

Harmonies don't get any better than this, what a beautiful sound.

Older men cry a lot. I am 70. Your music makes me cry with your perfect renditions of the Beatles great, great music. Thank you.

[mattikarjala]

At 71, I'm totally amazed over the perfection of the twins' renditions of not only the Beatles but so many others too. I never thought these immortal tunes could be covered the way these young ladies have done and so naturally too. Great music indeed and my humble thanks for the gift that is you.

I am 65 years old and the Beatles have been part of my life. When I hear you perform your songs so professionally, all kinds of happy memories come to mind. Thank you very much and I'm already a fan of MonaLisa Twins! Congratulations and greetings from Mexico!

Mona playing the chair! Lisa in a Beatles sweater! Papa on bass! Magical harmonies and fine guitar work throughout! I've never used four exclamation points in a row, but this video deserves five! Thanks, Twins. You really are tops.

[jedimasterrimtouri]

I've been a Beatles fan for 54 years and you young ladies are by far my favorites when it comes to covering them. Please keep them coming!!

"One of the most underated, beautiful Beatles songs out there." THIS!!! I've been saying this for years. Finally! Validation! From actual professionals, who nailed this...no, they MORE than nailed it. What an amazing performance.

Only sisters can achieve this uniquely beautiful pleasure to hear The MonaLisa Twins gals.

When I was in Grade 6 in the 1960's the teacher said the class could listen to music while we worked on a project. We voted to listen to "I'll Follow the Sun" over and over again, on repeat.

I'm a 57 year old American and I love listening to your covers of the Beatles. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

[pabloguerrero]

I'm 68 now. I grew up listening to the songs of The Beatles and I'm still a big fan of the unforgettable Fab Four. As someone said this beatiful tune has been unfairly underated for decades, as well as the whole Beatles For Sale album. Even though this song was written by Paul McCartney when he was 16, I feel that *_I'll Follow The Sun_* shares with *_For No One_* the same sort of disenchantmet filling Paul's mind when he wrote these beatiful songs.

Thank you Mona and Lisa Wagner for gifting us this wonderful cover.

Beautiful voices, beautiful harmonies, beautiful songs, beautifully played, by two beautiful ladies with beautiful hearts! Thank you both. You've never failed to put a smile on my face, and joy in my soul!!! 😊💋💕

I agree that it is one of the best Beatles creations ever. You ladies did a beautiful job on it. When I moved from my home in Vermont home at age 63 to join the rest of my family in North Carolina, I felt a part of that song and had it on repeat for about an hour as I left home on my drive to NC. It was so symbolic of my leaving behind friends and family for a new life. I was a very good move and that song reminds me of that moment in my life like it was yesterday instead of 10 years ago.

[wagonmaster]

That smile after the flute solo...she is beaming! Lovely rendition of the song.

I grew up listening to the young men from Liverpool
There have been a lot of bands paying tribute, but I truly believe that you are the first to capture the true essence of their music and their messages
Thank you

[andrebotha]

I don't know how they do it but their voices just keep getting better and better.

[normanlyons]

Absolutely superb version. It is joy to listen to. I have listened to it countless times. Your close harmonies are glorious. Honey for ears.

[bloomefree]

These ladies are incredible!!!! The musical genius of Mona & Lisa just blow my mind. So glad to see younger musicians actually performing beautiful music. LOVE YOU & Thank You
