Pioneers! O Pioneers!
By Walt Whitman
Vocals By Will Geer

This is the FULL VERSION of the poem that was used in the Levi Go Forth commercial

I added the backing music to spice it up a bit (thanks garage band)

YOU CAN FIND THE VOCALS PORTION OF THIS (and other Whitman poems) ON ITUNES

I DO NOT OWN THE VOCALS HOWEVER to take it down for copyright violation would be to down a little piece of America.... Whitman....America...think about itttt

  • Ar-kansas? 

  • Everyone who is bitching and spewing political crap have missed the moral of the poem. The future is out there, it's ours, we need to continue on our journey through life despite the rough trails in front of us. The world was built with sweat, hard work, and heart, and that is how we must build the future.

  • I still remember this from that pants commercial.

  • @BowskiBig You can mine, log, and farm without ruining the environment. Most modern corporations, however, either don't want to or don't understand this.

  • ummmm... this guys got like a way to epic of a voice... lolz

  • @thatkidvitya Okay, since you're such a saint, go live in Europe. After all, you live on "their" land. This is our land, the pioneers who stronger, therefor, they took more land.

  • soo in conclusion. great poem, cool guy, some people disagree about what the takeaway or context is. im not here for conversation though so we can all stop replying to me? have a great life.

  • @BowskiBig we have to be most critical of the things we benefit from, keeping in mind we can't change the past. just offering a different view.

  • @DarthEggplant that's a disgusting view.
