Mike tells the story of how he came to write Different Drum
Michael Nesmith performs Different Drum. Nov. 23, 2013 at Chicago's City Winery. The clip started with Michael saying a friend asked how songs come to him, especially the previous song (Tomorrow and Me). He said the question is impossible to answer.
Moving on to the next song Mike invokes Paris. Two people sitting at an outside table, staring down, with distance between them psychologically speaking. She wants to be a mother. He wants to be a lover.
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a girl 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
