Where did the phrase 'march to the beat of a different drummer' originate?

It is derived from the writings of the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who wrote: "If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away. " Thoreau is the author of the expression, which has entered the language and appears in various forms. The form you mention is probably the most commonly heard.

What are the lyrics to the song 'regimental drummer' by Michael English?

He ran off to find adventure At the tender age of nine Like so many other sons Of old Virginia Though he was too small to hold a rifle He would bang his drum and smile As a regimental drummer for a while With a heart as green as summer And a laugh as rich as gold He would polish up the old dreams So long forgotten Somewhere on the road back home from Shiloh He got older than his years As a regimental drummer cried our tears In his eyes I'd sometime see The boy that I used to be For a moment I could leave this all behind All at once the boy was gone Lost on the road we're on Just another Fallen brother I still think of him each morning And I pray for him each night Just a regimental drummer From old Virginia And when I close my eyes I still remember How he'd bang his drum and smile So I march a little farther When I hear the drummers call For the regimental drummer in us all Innocence in me has died Lost somewhere deep inside Like another fallen brother Now the dusty road's behind me To the one still up ahead There's a regimental drummer From old Virginia Who will always fall in step beside me And bang his drum and smile So I march a little farther When I hear the long row start For the regimental drummer In my heart

What does Thoreau mean when he says that some people hear a different drummer?

Essentially - think for yourself, don't follow the crowd, resist peer pressure, and be your own person. Here is a song that says a lot:If a man does not keep pace with his companions,perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.Thoreau, from the "Conclusion" to WaldenI Hear a Different DrummerChorusI hear a different drummer,I hear another beat,I'm marching to a rhythm ,From a distant street.I'd like to stay here Johnny,I'm sure your song is fine,But I hear a different drummer playing mine.It pleases me to think,That I think as I please,I'm bothered not at all,When someone disagrees.He's welcome to his song,And anytime it's played,I'll cheer the man along,But I won't join his parade.ChorusA man at Walden Pond,Began this song I hum,He learned it from his heart,Not from a hollow drum.The note he struck was brave,He sang it loud and clear,When other music plays,Only his song do I hear.Chorus
