Captain, My Captain is the tenth track (Disc 1 Track 10) in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack.

Overview[edit]

The track is a new track based on the reversed first section of Dust and Echoes from Halo: Original Soundtrack.

Appearances[edit]

The track plays in place of the reversed first section of Dust and Echoes in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, during the mid-level cinematic of Keyes, when John-117 retrieves the Flood-assimilated Captain's neural implants from the Proto-Gravemind.

Production notes[edit]

The name of this track alludes to the death of Captain Keyes, but most likely also references the poem by American poet Walt Whitman, "O Captain! My Captain!", which lamented the death of the sixteenth American president, Abraham Lincoln.
