Penned in 1987/88.  Was originally written by a friend of mine. I continued with it and use to play it in the band I was in. Reworked in the early 90's, with Eric Trowse and retitled "Lightning strikes". 
It's been collecting dust for about 20years. Decided to record it for the 1st time.  After years of singing not to well on a lot of my songs I think I finally found my singing voice, so this song being my first song I wrote as a co writer, it seemed appropriate to trial out my newly found singing voice on this song.

This version has a new lead extended guitar solo with additional guitar at the end.
Originally written in the 1990's. It was about my failings in meeting the right person and how it made me feel.

I gave it a complete makeover from it's original concept and this is how it sounds.

Catchy

Catchy [by Family Matters]

Hi Folks, Sometimes I like to follow the crowd, because it's just easier. Sometimes I like to be an individual, usually when I feel strong enough to handle people trying to knock me down. 

Sometimes I succeed, but most times, one would look and say from the outside, I failed. But one thing I don't want to do is quit. I quit once before, I didn't just come last, but I didn't even finish the race. 

I've promised myself I won't quit again no matter where I may finish in the race. There's nothing wrong with being an individual or a being follower, finishing first or last.  As long as your honest about how you perceive yourself with what you're doing, then, if you can live with that, you have already won.

Enjoy the journey and be that your reward.
Darryl Steele.
