Song Notes – Keeping Me

By Ben Naught

“Keeping Me” is a song about the push and pull between who we are and the things that try to take us down. Life throws a lot at you, stress, bad habits, regrets, expectations, but sometimes the hardest battle is the one happening inside your own head.
This song came from a place of reflection. There are moments in life where it feels like the world is pulling you in every direction, and you start to lose sight of yourself.

“Keeping Me” is about holding on to who you are in the middle of that chaos.
At its core, the song is about resilience. It's about the fight to stay grounded, stay honest with yourself, and keep moving forward even when things get heavy.

The version you’re hearing is stripped down—just a voice and a guitar. I wanted it to feel raw and real, the way the song first came out when I wrote it. No distractions. Just the story.
