WALT WHITMAN | O Captain! My Captain!

[@kimdoesmusicstuff]

Hey, everyone! I just want to say thank you so much for the support and thank you to the teachers who are showing this in their classes. It really means a lot. -Kim

[@cris_daydreamer]

2020 and I'm back here ! I never forget. My class sang this at a collage festival in 2012, using this video as a reference ♡

[@moirahearecour1224]

Years ago, as I was just a teen, I was enchanted by this song. Now at almost 30 I come back and the delight is still the same

[@tiffianyellis9468]

Thank you so much for posting this! I teach and I show it every year! My students always love it, and it shows a different way to enjoy poetry.

[@laurakop5446]

I share this with my students in a college course, every term when we are studying Whitman. Wonderful and beautiful!

[@vx-petia]

I've had this favorited in my bookmarks since the week you published it. I'm so, so glad that you never took it down.

[@vx-petia]

I still listen to this

[@silas6597]

This is still my all time favorite recitation of poetry.

[@WorldWide_RemiX]

Omg, love it! You really brought life to that poem! I have to memorize the poem for my English class too, and I just about memorized it, thanks to your song version. Thanks for !making the poem more entertaining and easy to remember!

[@someguysomewhere4280]

your performance made me, an old man, cry, just beautiful

[@jessicalinares2795]

most beautifully sang. We all love your voice so never stop singing!!!

[@daniep.9110]

Beautiful voice, you sing the song with just enough emotion, and it is a beautiful new way to hear the poem. Really great job!

[@mahautbouchard166]

I firstly knew that poem from the movie "dead poets society", but in french, as I am, and I started recently to learn it in english, and, loving music and speciaaly guitar, I searched for a beautiful version of it, and didn't thought I was gonna find something so beatiful.. thanks!

[@NitsuaLove]

I heard this when I was in 7th grade back in 2010 and I've listened to it any time I have trouble or need to think. you are a true inspiration.

[@jordynnobrega]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I have to recite this poem for English class and listening to this made it soooooo much easier!!!!

[@DrowGoddessLLoth]

My 8th grade students listen to this when reading the poem. They love it!

[@susancrone6638]

Amazing! I was searching for this poem as a song to share with my 8th graders - I listened to the first line and knew it was the best one. We loved it! Thank you!

[@gamminggirl1974]

you are AWESOME at singing. I litterly sang in front of my class the way you sang it!!

[@gamminggirl1974]

which I never have done before

[@jevinmxxxx1712]

[@kimdoesmusicstuff]

That's fantastic! I'm sure you did great!

[@chloebohannon9483]

Omg. This is great. I had to memorize this for English and I has one day. And I just listened to this over and over

[@Peter_Kalve]

Dear Kim, what a beautiful song, performed so wonderfully. Whitman, Lincoln, and the incomparable Kim P. Thank you.

[@valhjim]

Beautiful, full of pathos, a really good tribute to both Lincoln and Walt Whiman. I love the melody, which truly captures the sadness and pain in Walt's poem. Your voice is beautifully clear and does transmit the melancholy and painful emotion in the poem. Congratulations, you are a song-writer and a sensitive young girl. Do not stop composing, playing the guitar, singing, and--especially--reading poetry. All of this will enrich your life and the lives of those around you. :) -- Jim Valero.

[@pauljahshan1138]

Excellent. Best rendering of the poem I’ve heard. 👍

I just listened to an isolated recording of a famous singer. Without any voice editing. You are officially better than Mariah Carey.

[@carolwright2699]

True! She is amazing!

[@gelatinoussire7772]

@Connor L For context: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXysimyqeMaki5I. Also how is a softer voice bad? Personally, I like singers with soft voices.

[@adilkayani]

Amazing. Beautiful voice. Best version of Oh Captain, My Captain. I have ever heard.
