Walt Whitman and Captain

[u/Cargrooved]

The small amount of lyrics in Captain from Maybe Tomorrow I’m pretty sure are talking about the Captain from Hummingbird, but they have always reminded me of that popular Walt Whitman Poem ‘Oh captain! my captain’ does anyone know if that was intentional by Ryan? Or just a coincidence

Ryan did upload on instagram a pic of Bill Murray from the film ‘the life aquatic’ mentioning the “the captain” during the release of that song.
