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 ♡

[@laurakop5446]

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

[@silas6597]

This is still my all time favorite recitation of poetry.

[@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

[@someguysomewhere4280]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@jessicalinares2795]

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

[@DrowGoddessLLoth]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@jessicabenton1639]

I found this video because my English teacher used it in class!! Your amazing!

[@jordynnobrega]

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

[@chrisnelson6763]

Amazing. Thank you for sharing it.

[@JillieBean5]

Listened to this in my AP English class and I started crying in class it's so beautiful :3

[@sspotz13]

We listened to this is our English class today. It's amazing :D

[@gelatinoussire7772]

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.

[@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

[@pauljahshan1138]

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

[@thejonjon5000]

Stumbled upon a little gem from way back in two thousand nine A beautiful musical rendition of 'O Captain! My Captain!' So enjoy and be sure to find Kim Panags, that gives the humble tune and the poet writ famously known as the one--Walt Whitman

[@pinkypinkerton5875]

Thank you. By gods the most beautiful thing I've heard in years. It was something I needed in a time that my life was the most difficult.

[@gracehilley8984]

We listened to this in my chorus class for making connections between music and poetry.

[@ctcboater]

Perfectly... lovely.

[@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]

gamming girl 197 was this a poem you had to do

[@kimdoesmusicstuff]

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

[@luvillap.411]

How sweet your voice is!! I liked the poem by Walt Whitman sung by you even more!.

[@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.

[@craigwall2081]

Thank you. Lovely and touching!

[@nickihutchinson3221]

Beautiful......Just simply beautiful xx

[@mazeyquin901]

[@giverny28]

Truly amazing!

[@Dorthy7]

Well done! A beautiful expression of history

[@jollyrott3nn]

This is so different from how I heard it in my own head, and for that I love your song. Beautiful!

[@brienlp]

Beautiful voice. Beautiful playing.

[@redsoxyeargmail]

I hope your Papa is well, and thank him for me. He was right that you should share that because it was beautiful and even though it was written by Walt Whitman you made it your own, and if Walt had a KZbin account he would be liking that.

[@sophiefoty3169]

U r an amazing singer and I thought that was so cool how u turned the poem into a song

[@saumiko]

Beautiful!

[@p1966kful]

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

[@martinbay7006]

[@puni-mariandcreamiipaigey6817]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOSH

[@atlantiswolf1492]

My English teacher showed our class this today on the projector since we each have to say the poem infront of the class tomorrow. I thought it was so good that I wanted to watch it again at home on my laptop and give it thumbs up. You should really write more songs. :) Wish me luck tomorrow

[@seattleforlife]

Walt would be so proud! I've read this poem many times, but it took a true creative mind like your own to make it anew. :) I really enjoyed this

[@adilkayani]

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

Hi there! I'm an 8th grade teacher and every year we memorize this poem and The Road Not Taken. I've been showing students this video since I first saw it in 2009 and I want you to know ALL my kids love it and have so much respect for the beauty of this song. I'd love to send you a pic of the kids watching it in the pandemic this year. Maybe consider writing one for The Road Not Taken? :) - Ms. Elliott

[@kimdoesmusicstuff]

Ms. Elliott! I love hearing that and would absolutely appreciate a picture of the kids watching my video. Funny enough, the two poems I had to memorize that year happened to be O Captain! My Captain and The Road Not Taken! so maybe I'll work on that for a future video. Thanks so much for your support and also for being an educator! I appreciate you!
