Catch The Wind – New Video
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind …
We’ve been playing this song for a long time. There even is an old video on YouTube of us performing this song live on a radio station almost 10 years ago, and we also played it during one of our MLT Club Livestreams. Not to mention the hundreds of times we’ve performed it live on stage.
We thought it deserved its own properly recorded Duo Session after all these years!
We’ve had the pleasure of meeting Donovan a couple of times over the years! Growing up listening to his music, we’ve always considered him a significant influence on our own musical journey.
We hope you enjoy this Duo Session ♥
The song is available on CD here, or check out the Download version if you don’t want to wait/pay for shipping 🙂
More Duo Sessions
While you can now purchase this song on CD, we ALWAYS debut our Duo Sessions exclusively at the MLT Club first, sometimes months or even years before they’re available elsewhere! Just last week, we posted a rendition of “Dream A Little Dream Of Me” to the MLT Club that isn’t accessible anywhere else or on any CD yet.
Over in the MLT Club we release a new video every single week ranging from Duo Sessions to vlogs, to Q&A videos, etc. We’re also planning on doing another Club exclusive Livestream in a few weeks which we’re VERY excited about!!
So, if you want to get a ton of exclusive content and also enjoy perks like signed albums, receiving birthday greetings, the opportunity to ask us questions, and connecting with fellow fans, please consider joining the Club. Your support not only enables us to create more videos and recordings but also fosters a closer community around our music 🙂
We’d love to have you onboard!
Wonderful.
I hope Donovan has seen this.
Mona & I have had this discussion before.
I wish you two would consider covering Ilse of Islay some time.
Cheers
“When the rain has hung the leaves with tears”, “I want to hide a while behind your smile”. What amazing lyrics. I was young when Donovan was really popular and didn’t realize what a great songwriter he is. I think the song really suits your style too, as the lyrics of the songs on the Why? album are quite comparable. Catch The Wind sounds like it could be an MLT original.
Moving and wonderful. Nostalgic too, as my best mate Dave Lindop and I used to include this song in our busking setlist.
Thank you for sharing with us, simply beautiful.
So beautiful😊!!!
A great rendition, but every time that I watch it I get the impression that Mona is sad. I’m sure things are better.
I hope Mona is just showing off her acting skills. Her mood does fit the song. I get chills when she starts singing on this one.
Of all the Mona’s, Sad Mona is my least favorite.

I believe that is one of the things that attracts me to these ladies…. They become the song. And I did notice that maybe Mona did take a few seconds to come out of it…??🤔🤓🎶
Yet another reason why Mona and Lisa are so loved by us all. They really feel the music. They’re not human jukeboxes; the music’s from the heart; covers and originals, and you can hear it. Lisa’s vocal on this is amazing; there’s technique, yes, and skill, but there’s also that feel for the music. Mona compliments that perfectly, vocally and instrumentally. I am in awe.
i can remember when Donovan used to sing it he got right into it and looked sad think its just the song
Just beautiful ladies.
On this windy Monday morning I listened to this touching Donovan song. It wasn’t the wind, but Mona’s and Lisa’s beautiful voices and Mona’s wonderful harmonica playing that gave me goosebumps.
This is the best and most beautiful Donovan cover ever.
Dear Both. I’ve hear your versions of the number countless time – it gets better and better. Simple love the atmosphere you to give. Thank you very much🤩🤩
Not only do you make my weekends , you even spoil us with a fantastic video of ” catch te wind” .i knew it was written by Donovan, but , up until now my favourite version was sung by Judith Durham, her mesmerising voice made a deep impression on me. The harmonies of your version are heavenly too. Hope the Duo Session 3 will be here soon .I allso hope the weather in Liverpool will be as nice as it, finally, is here.
You probably know this, Eric, but I can’t resist pointing out that Judith’s version was on an album of cover songs titled “Mona Lisas”.
Hello David, thanks for pointing this out,i did not know this and for sure i will look up the album and listen to it.
Would this ” coincedence” have a meaning? Maybe a hint to Mona and Lisa to cover some songs of the Seekers? I am convinced they would make those covers as heavenly as all of their songs.
Not too shabby. Very well performed ladies.
Thanks for the surprise video, wasn’t expecting it. Please keep them coming.
Lots of Love,
Bobby S. 😎❤️🎵❤️🎵🧛♂️
For anyone who didn’t see it, there is an option to put $2.00 in the “busking basket” for the YouTube “Catch the WInd” release. It’s under the title in the 3 dot options.
I didn’t see that, thanks for pointing it out.
It turns out you can contribute other amounts there also using the slide bar – I didn’t notice it.
That is a great song! The version you did at the radio station was excellent, considering all the things going on around you! From what I remember, I think Mona was a little under the weather I believe she coughed during that session! That’s OK I love that one just as much as this one! Always a pleasure!🤓
Beautiful song and an even more beautiful cover. Thanks for sharing Mona and Lisa !
Beautiful.
Mona once again perfect harmonies and rhythm guitar with some harmonica thrown in as well very talented. Lisa is an incredibly talented lead singer with a voice in a million and her lead guitar is also spot on. I wait for the day the Gretsch is back in her hands in the right song.
Wonderful as always. You seem to bring out the best in everything you touch.
Hi Lisa & Mona,
As usual, I love your new version of Donovan’s song, so thank you!
My comments have been so long lately that I’ll try making this short! I appreciate that you do a variety of Music, from Rock, to Pop, Folk, Jazz Swing, Ballads & Original songs to boot!
You two are one of the few bright lights in an otherwise bleak World right now! We have to fix that, have hope and “Let the Sunshine In!”
THANK YOU! — Bud
Hi Bud, I agree. Bob Marley said “Light Up the Darkness” with music, and Mona and Lisa are doing just that, making the world a better place. Their “Catch The Wind” just melts my heart, it’s so beautiful.
Nice! My favorite Duo Session, well at least for tonight. Like a kid in a candy store, I can never pick a favorite. These Sessions feel like you are in our living room calling us to dance embraced in our loving arms.
Thank you for these Duo Sessions. They are such beautiful moments frozen in time to be played over and over to our heart’s content.
Love,
Marlo & JP
Ich bin jedes Mal hin und weg, wenn ich ein neues Stück aus meiner grauen musikalischen Vorzeit von Euch höre, Eure beispiellose Zwillings-Harmonie berührt mich in der Tiefe meiner Empfindung, gerade wie hier, wenn Monas zarte Zweitstimme den Feinschliff für den Lisa-Diamanten gibt. Unnachamlich – einzigartig – einfach toll!! JA ich liebe es – es gibt mir viel.- ich bin ein großer Fan von Euch – Danke!
A beautiful version of a lovely song. Excellent harmonising, guitar playing and Mona’s harmonica can’t be bettered.
This is absolutely beautiful and stirring. Sends shivers, and pulls at the heart strings every time I hear it. Love Mona’s harmonica, sounds magical.
That’s 2. The number of your vids that I found first on YouTube. The algorithm tapped me on the shoulder and said — dude, check this out.
The first time was when I was looking for the Beatles version of Drive My Car a couple of years ago.
I love what you’ve done with this. Thanks!
I loved your version of this song since I heard it a year ago. Mona 👱♀️ and Lisa 👩🦰 are the best!🎸🎤💖
A joy to watch and listen to love the duo sessions cannot wait for the next one to purchase🤩
Very nice, ladies. Coincidentally, I heard you singing this very song on my MP3 player when I went for a stroll earlier today!
