I found my brother’s journal again today, and I realized it’s been awhile since I posted something about him, so I thought I would do something cool tonight – I hope this works. Some of you may know that Keith actually recorded a song using his laptop and some digital recording tools only months before he died. I actually had it playing on a CD player at his memorial service. Turns out I have stumbled upon the lyrics to the song, and apparently, this blog site has the capability for me to insert audio, so here it is, Keith’s first and last, one and only song. He never gave it a title, but after reading the lyrics, I call it “Control of Me.” This song gives me chills, I hope you all find it a good way to remember him. Just click on the link below to listen to it. Hit me up if you want the mp3 – I’ll gladly give it up.
LYRICS: “Control of Me,” by Keith Minor
Surrounded by my emotions; They take control of me; Forcing me to surrender; Making it harder to see; This path that I should take; Filled with all my mistakes; Simply to remind me; Remind me of all the pain; I try to lock it up; And throw away the key; Somehow it finds a way out; And takes control of me; These thought I cannot take it; My heart, why did you break it?; So many good times shared; And you run away ’cause you’re scared?
