Strong Points: Without a doubt…...vocals. Outstanding.
Lyrics were well written and natural. The song’s title was clearly
identified throughout the song. Melody line was good with a nice change in the
chorus.

Needs Improvement: Nothing

Summary: This is an excellent example of a piano/vocal demo. No flashy
productions, no gimmicks, just great talent. Nice job.

06-Bobbio   Kneena, Kneena, Kneena.....this is fine. You had me at the line "where are you now?".....from there the song takes off....lyrically it's pretty abstract...I read it over and over and still couldn't grasp the relationship...the line "And are you melting my words away
Then you will feel your heart begin to stay with all my love" stumps me.....that being said.....It's great work...I'll just have to live with the fact that I'm dense...lol....because the performance was wonderful...I've told you before that you have "star quality' and this is more proof of that. Your phrasing and those subtle vocal surprises help to carry this song...
Maybe the song isn't as good as the performance...but, it sure didn't feel that way...feels like a great song...
05-Todd   Classic. What can I say? I would buy this... it's that good. I'm always a sucker for female pianist/vocalists though (Sarah, Tori, Norah). This is in that league. I'd like to hear more of your stuff, when I get the time. Put you on my favorites list at AP. BravissimO!
07-Jens   Good melody, singing, production, playing.
Your voice has a lot of expression; you know that!
You surely have potential.
A new Carole King with your own style.
Amazing what someone can do with just a piano (or guitar etc.).
I can spend days on a songs 8 miditracks and the result is still only a rather poor demo... :-(
If you should improve something, I would like more dynamics/expression added. If the song had a part (fx the middle part) where you played louder and particulary sang louder, the song would benefit from that - it would also emphasize the more quiet parts of the song.
I'm not sure if it is suited for this particular song, and I don't know if you do sing out loud at all. I have heard your two other songs at AcidPlanet, and the same goes for them.
You should have at full symphony orchestra to back you up!
A minor thing: I found the ending a little abrupt. What about slowing down in the ending and spread the notes in the very last chord?
04-Markus   Beautiful lyrics sung with a beautiful voice! Hey that is a wonderful song! Lyrics and music go together so very well. Maybe the ending rushes in a little surprisingly (so if some bars are missing). But beside this, this is my absolute favorite song. Thank you for sharing it!
02-Nancy G. Firefly   Kneena, You seem to be a beautiful person as reflected in your music. I really enjoyed your song. Everything is great with our song, vocals, lyrics and the sound. I loved the way you reviewed each song with a phrase. So Thank you for sharing the sounds of your heart.
"Sounds of the heart make this moment unwind..true love never dies, it rests within this vine"....

Thanks for sharing,

Firefly

03-Brian   Wow! Simply beautiful! Litening to this brought back the emotions I felt when I wrote Dragonfly except lyrically this song is so much better & more touching I think with it's references to daily observations that are present when someone you love is no longer there. My eyes started to tear a little!!! Musically it's perfect I'd say. The melody & changes perfectly emphasizing the emotion of the lyrics...and that VOICE! Very good production as well. Will you marry me?!!lol
11-Dave C   Beautiful vocal and piano performances . I found the words a bit confusing though . and why does Iggy rate a Teddy Bear and I only get a Box of Chocolates? (plus, I'm on the Atkin's diet).
08-Kris S   I'm a sucker for any song, regardless of the singers gender, where all you hear is a voice and a piano. If I only knew how to play all those keys!!! I liked the song very much and could relate with the lyrics. Thank you for the music.
91-Solpig   Ahhh.....My millions in the Pa. state lottery are safe!!I'll be e-mailing you with my address to send my tickets!!
I love listening to kneena,just to remind myself that you can be really good and still be obscure.It kinda' keeps my hopes up!
tens across the boards.simple,picturesque lyrics,barebones flawless performance,great music.
Kneena is a big fan of the descending bass note through the diatonic sequence of the respective key,starting from the root.Elton John,David Bowie,Marc Bolan,Piggy,and many others have made careers of this simple,beautiful and timeless move.
Vocals are A1.If I wasn't such a pig,I'd probably cry.
Kneena RULES.
