Different Drum was composed by the great Michael Nesmith aka "Papa Nez" of MONKEES fame and made famous by Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Poneys in 1967. The original version of this song was recorded by the Greenbriar Boys and was included on their 1966 album, Better Late than Never!. I don't who actually sequenced this midi file however they did an incredible job of reproducing the Linda Ronstadt version. I produced this instrumental in Nuendo using VST intruments. Of course I had to use compression, limiting and EQ as needed like any normal studio would to make it sound good. I created a slideshow to pay tribute to Michael Nesmith and Linda Ronstadt.
Different Drum Lyrics written by Michael Nesmith
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
Wo-oh
You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees
Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me
Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me
Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
