So apparently, Im a huge Robin Williams fan. Heres a song I wrote a couple days ago. Steph St. Laurent and I put this here together today. Big thanks to Chris Barna and Katrina Liss. Wish I wasnt so close to tears the whole time, it mighta sounded a bit better, but I think the main thing is to put it out there amidst all the other outpourings of affection for our lost Captain. I think real Dead Poets fans will dig it anyways... Oh Captain, My Captain - A song for Robin Williams It was just like somethin out of a movie Just like somethin out of a movie He was just like somethin out of a movie Wasnt he somethin...? Oh Captain, My Captain Id never have stood up on this desk if not for you And what dreams may come? Now that Genies gone? We got to find a happy thought... Maybe hes just seein bout a girl... Maybe its a sorry statement about the state of man Or about how lucky I am Or just how many movies I watched when I was a kid, goddamn But I never quite felt so dumbstruck or betrayed by the news Than to know that Robin went out all alone Did he know how many times he proved he was the best Friend, the best man, the Champion So does the sun as it shines and gives life to us all feel all alone? How could it be so wrong? Just like somethin out of a movie It was just like somethin out of a movie He was just like somethin out of a movie Wasnt he somethin...? Theyd say Just turn on the camera and get out of his way... What is wisdom if not laughing everyday Bringing laughter to warzones and hospital wards Awakening zombies with music and the sonnets of bards But the blankets we weave will still never be enough And our brightest lights will go on extinguishing themselves If we dont remember that it doesnt just take a village to raise a child It takes a village to bring The Fisher King back in from the wild A village to marvel and to nod and to smile And to value the ones who will never quite fit Into the private school lesson And they make us better for it... You aint never had a friend, never had friend... Just like somethin out of a movie It was just like somethin out of a movie He was just like somethin out of a movie Wasnt he somethin ...? Oh Captain, My Captain, Id never have rose out of this mess if not for you And what dreams may come? Now that Genies gone? We got to find a happy thought... Maybe he... Maybe he... Maybe hes.... just seein bout a girl. Thank you Genie, youre free now from this world.
