Different Drum, the final single from The Orion Experience’s upcoming album, COSMICOVERS has a special meaning to the band. When lead singers Linda XO and Orion Simprini met in college, Different Drum was the first song that they learned to sing together at the campus coffee house. Little did they know that this collaboration would eventually lead to a prolific career in music. Originally written by the brilliant Michael Nesmith of The Monkees, and made famous by Linda Ronstadt, Different Drum has been reworked with a groovy 1990’s Manchester beat, and sparkling, rhythmic electric guitars. Linda XO takes center stage with her unmistakable vocal performance that also has it’s roots in a special memory. As a child, Linda XO would sing this song so often, that her Grandmother gave her the nickname “Linda Ronstadt”. Different Drum drops Friday, April 21st on all digital platforms.

Different Drum

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? Whoa
You cry and always say it will work out
Oh, but honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees
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 sayin' you ain't pretty
All I'm saying's I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
to try and pull the reins in on me
So goodbye, I'll be leavin' I see no sense
In this cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me
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 sayin' you ain't pretty
All I'm saying's I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
to try and pull the reins in on me
So goodbye, I'll be leavin' I see no sense
In this cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
We travel to the beat of a different drum
We travel to the beat of a different drum
We travel to the beat of a different drum
