Guster - The Captain - music video

A music video for the amazing song by Guster, The Captain.

Lryics:
I've come down with something
I'm frozen, tied up, cast in lead
It's simple, so says the captain
Face forward, move slow, forge ahead

I'm earning a reputation
My conscience, mistrust and regret
Courageous, just like the captain
Marching forward with no doubt in his head

Onward
Onward
Onward
Onward

We made this for our English class. We interpreted it as a boy that is "frozen, tied up" and "cast in lead". The captain then gives him a copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People". The kid then wants to "earn a reputation" and is nice to people now because of the influence of the captain.

Searched for Guster after hearing One Man Wrecking Machine by Guster on Paste Magazine Sampler #21
