Is Iggy really Ozzy??Beatles meets ozzy love song.Great turns and sweeps,Simple and concise lyrics,the way all great songs should be.
We all know you're a great musician,but I feel as if you're being "careful" when you sing.If you sang as confidently as you played keys I would have given you tens in everything.

LLLLLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGGG intro.good song.
I have a very short attention span.If that was on the radio,I might have switched stations,and missed an otherwise really good song.Lyrics are a little buried(I'm becoming my mom) but the styles of today allow for that if you're melodies' good,and yours is.
Good production,great pop guitar sounds.Well done.I don't know about the "love" song part,but It's related somewhere,so there it is.
Good work.

I don't watch a lot of TV,but we get asked to score a piece every now and then.If you lived here,I'd bring you in on 'em,cuz you have a knack for finding that piano riff that's familiar without being a rip=off.
The Music and production is all aces,but the vocals(I listened to both to be fair) are a little lackluster.I read your posts,so I know you make no claims to be a vocalist.
I went to your homepage about a month ago,and your music is all top-notch.You'd probably do well in film and TV scoring.
I only know a few words in danish,and none I'd post here( I learned them from danish construction workers)so I don't know if the lyrics might be more cohesive in Danish.The english translation is a bit spotty.
You are really a good composer,so I'll leave my judgement on the rest out. 9+

Kris S.???
Now I'm really scratching my head.My best songwriter-friend here in LA is your musical doppleganger(Twin).His name is Pat Millius,and you two sound so much alike,it's scary.I love his music too.
I LOVE this style of passionate,non-conformism.F the people who want you to beat a hackneyed chorus.Leave that for people who are cheesy and contrived like me.
every twenty songwriters you come across the Jimi,Lou,Kurt,kind of writer who doesn't have to use the formula,and my friend...You're number twenty.
This is so off the beaten path that I feel awkward using a rating system on it.You get a 10+ just for being this twisted.
Keep it up.

With All My Love

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.
