The word 'feeling' should be plural 'feelings' because it refers to multiple emotions being communicated.
× I really had knowledge about singing that was rather than just about vocal and speaking thoughts.
✓ I really had knowledge about singing that was more than just about vocals and speaking thoughts.
The phrase 'rather than just about vocal and speaking thoughts' is awkward and unclear. 'More than just about vocals and speaking thoughts' is clearer and grammatically correct. Also, 'vocal' should be plural 'vocals' to match the context.

✓ I would like to sing songs that carry and convey the emotions that I have held for her for all the years that I've been with her.
The word 'survey' is incorrect here; the correct verb is 'convey' meaning to express. Also, 'have hold' should be 'have held' to use the correct past participle form. 'Emotions' should be preceded by 'the' to specify particular emotions.
