The line about calling for your mother hits different when you’ve heard someone call for their mom while they’re on their way out. Being a paramedic I’ve heard it more than once and it doesn’t get easier
I’m sorry to hear that 😔 I would imagine that it would never get easier but at least you’re there to do everything you can, thank you for all you do ❤️
This is a cover song, originally done by Motorhead. No, war does not make sense. Other Sabaton songs I recommend - Soldier Of Heaven (Official Music Video), No Bullets Fly (Animated Story Video), Lady of the Dark (Animated Story Video)
"When men were men" Have to thank you for that alone. I'm nearly 70. I was blessed with heroic Greatest Generation parents. They were made of different stuff.
I guess you could have picked a better song to "just chill and relax..." Famous last words... 😉 But I am glad you picked it anyway and I thank you for your honest and heartfelt reaction. Sabaton is doing an incredible job at telling stories that have to be told and I am glad that so many reactors do an incredible job in spreading the word and maybe reach people who otherwise wouldn't notice Sabaton and their important stories at all. So thank you again. "Lest we forget" Greetings from Germany, Prog O'Holic
I agree and if reactor watch this and didn’t shed a tear or understand, they weren’t really reacting, because no normal person could watch that without feeling the way that I felt if they are human. It’s not exactly the relaxing pick me up song, but it definitely reminds me of the fact that I should enjoy the freedom to be able to visit my child because of someone else’s sacrifice, even if it wasn’t this particular war in general. ❤️🎶🤘🏻
As people have stated, this is a cover of a Motörhead song. The bus at the start is a reference to the live album no sleep til Hammersmith by Motörhead The two guys standing in the door opening at 6:12 are Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell, the drummer and the guitarist of Motörhead. The picture is of Lemmy Kilmister, who was the bassist and singer of Motörhead. The guy holding it is Eddie Rocha who was the tour manager of Motörhead and the current one for Sabaton.
Thanks for the reaction! Here's a little tidbit illustrating Sabaton's level of historical references: There's a beautiful early 20th century ecru-coloured convertible standing in the street and everybody flows around it. This car is closest thing there is to the pale horse that death rode in on. It's the car Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wive Sophie Chotek Duchess Hohenberg bled to death in on June 28th of 1914 in Sarajevo right in the sunshine of "Europe's Last Summer", the event that led to the "War to end all Wars", the Apocalypse of the Old World and the first act of the unprecedented bloodshed of the 20th century. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Thank you for a great reaction!♥️🤘The 6th time I watched this video was the first time I didn't cry. Sabaton made such a good cover and music video for this song. Lemmy K (R.I.P.) was a brilliant songwriter! My oldest daughter turned 16 a month ago. It feels weird picturing her in a situation like the describe in the song. I'm not going to request anything this time. A lot of other people here have come with great suggestions already.
Well, thank you for your kind words and support of the channel. I think it hit me a little harder because I just went and saw my oldest son‘s first apartment. I will be continuing down the journey and I do have a lot of great requests so welcome to the Music journey of many wonderful artists. 🤘🏻🎶❤️
World War 1, a war fought by empires using Napoleonic tactics with modernized weaponry, part of the reason why the numbers in those battles were just so very high. Always recommend Sabaton music but if you want to watch a video that will make you cry just from the numbers of the dead, "The Fallen of World War II" is an extremely well done video.
I don’t like to cry 😢 but I just makes me so sad but I respect the band for trying to let people respect a solder and what they go through to a small extent🤘🏻🎶❤️ thank I will add it to the thank you for your comment and your support
Sabaton's lyrics reach you even deeper. They are an epic band. I don't know if he has reacted to his Christmas Truce song Based on a real event that occurred in the First World War. Where the English and Germans agreed on a Christmas truce on the soldiers' own initiative. Don't forget to grab some tissues. A greeting from Barcelona
Thanks for playing it too the end. So all the soldiers/warriors/knights marching are bases on real people/unit that Sabaton has a song about. another team up with Tina Guo also think this was her 3rd? she played with them live "Swedish Pagans- live 2019 Wacken" a must watch video and in the official music video "Steel Commanders"
Yes, I reacted to Swedish pagans, and Tina is amazing. You should watch the reaction. Thank you for your comment and your support of the channel. 🎶❤️🤘🏻
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing must have missed that 1 lol well then i'll add "Cliff of Gallipoli" 1 of their older songs and also suggest checking out "Sabaton History Channel" on youtube
@@2104dogface Will do I have a playlist if you go to my main page that has all the reactions I did to Sabaton to make it easier. I’ll check that out. Thank you for your suggestion and your support.🎶🎶🎶🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
They still find people at the Somme, whom they try to identify and bring home. JRR tolkien (Writer of Lord of the rings books) was there also. A horrible terrible time.
The thing was, it wasn't as though the army was going out and recruiting 16 year old men. Back in that time, they didn't have a way to check if someone was lying about their ages when they enlisted.
I know they were because they were just trying to protect, and they wanted to fight and help. It’s just sad that at such a young age to sacrifice so much very brave young men, which you don’t seem much of nowadays. ❤️🎶🤘🏻
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing You also should take into account how much they glorified war back then. When the Great War started, everyone was excited. It was seen as a great adventure, a few quick battles and it would be over by Christmas. But as Christmas came and went, and the reality of trench warfare sank in, then people realized that war isn't something that should be treated lightly. I think I may be misunderstanding your comment. Are you meaning that it's sad that men aren't showing that same level of dedication these days?
@@lokiodinson2326 I did not mean dedication because our current military men do show dedication but if we had a draft or really needed young men around my sons age like 23 years old they would not be brave enough to defend us in my opinion, but that’s just my opinion. I don’t feel like we should be going to war at all if not needed because it seems to solve nothing but if we needed to, and it was just the young generation fighting we would be in trouble is all that I was saying. I have an incredible amount of respect for our military and I don’t feel like they get the treatment and courtesy that they deserve.
I did some researching and found that all the names of the soldiers, knights and Spartans in the end were real people. Many of the soldiers were Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Victoria Cross or Croix de Guerre recipients. The soldier pulling himself out of the mud, at first I thought he was a member of "The Smoking Snakes" (Força Expedicionária Brasileira, FEB, nicknamed Cobras Fumantes), but doing some more research with the patch on his shoulder as well as his helmet, that's Sgt Henry Johnson of the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, aka "The Harlem Hellfighters". Medal of Honor recipient and recipient of French Croix de Guerre avec Palme, France's highest award for valor. The Medal of Honor was awarded to him in 2015. Sgt. Henry Johnson is "one of the five bravest American soldiers in the war." Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in his book "Rank and File: True Stories of the Great War" The Asian soldier with the cocked-hat, that's a Nepalese Gurka named Havildar Gurung (per the credits) who earn the Victoria Cross in the Burma campaign off WWII. Sgt Awal Nur, who did a secret mission over the Himalaya. Lt. Audie Murphy, Sgt. Alvin York are both medal of honor recipients from WWI (York) and WWII (Murphy). I also notice a soldier with the Croix Lorraine on what looks like a French flag arm band, meaning he was a member of the 'Forces françaises libres' forces in WWII. Doing some reading I found out that a large number of French colonial troops from territories such as Chad had joined with the 'Forces françaises libres'. I suspect that soldier is Lt Comba, but I can't find anything on him. As I've been working my way through the names listed in the credits and found another one: Private George Stringer, Manchester, Awarded the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Es Sinn in Mesopotamia. Capt. Dobson, 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion, Killed on 9 July 1916 in Flanders.
Wow much respect to those men and I thank Sabaton for making it into Music to get the word out because it makes learning about history a lot easier for people that aren’t history buffs. ❤️🎶🤘🏻
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing Some of their songs are sad, like this one. Others, like "No Bullets Fly", "The Last Battle" and "Hearts of Iron" affirm your faith in humanity. Others still, like "40-1", or "Defense of Moscow" fill you with national pride for other countries.
The youngest on record was 12, I think. I have heard accounts where if parents wrote to the Officers about their kid being under age. I can't imagine being 15-16 and being so board with home life to go volunteer for a "adventure". And to think had the allies not insisted that Germany bear the brunt of the cost of the war. Then maybe just maybe WW2 would never had happened. There where Officers that thought the terms where setting up for 2nd world war. And to think whole towns lost all of the fighting me at the battle of the Somme leaving Widow, and orphans.
Many peace associations around the world, protesting against war and militaries and claiming that militaries love violence and war. Haven't realized that most soldiers have great empathy and they choose to go out and defend and protect their countrymen against evil soldiers, they are prepared to sacrifice their lives to protect others and these peace movements don't think about this. As in this video talk about and military men then in 1916, as well as those who were former military men and those who have been and are military men. They went into battle to defend their freedom and like many do today. A good example is how Ukraine screams against the dictator Russia, because they want to live in freedom and not under a crazy dictator, who murders and throws people in prison who don't think like him.
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing You haven't seen war and what hell it is, support children and women who have been raped and the children have been as young as 4 years old. See dead civilians innocent people that Russian soldiers have killed for fun. The stench of corpses. As well as then in Kosovo where they carried out ethnic cleansing of people.
@@ingvartorma9789 I’m not saying I have seen war by any means, but just what I’ve seen as enough, so not trying to be disrespectful at all. Please understand that I’m just saying that I couldn’t, nor would I want to imagine what people that go to war or people that are involved that don’t need to be involved have to endure that’s all I’m saying. Sorry if I offended you in someway wasn’t my intention.
@@ingvartorma9789 it’s OK that’s why I hate text messaging. I’m old-school talking face-to-face is so much easier because messaging can be taken the wrong way. Thank you for your comment and if you have seen war or been exposed to it in any way I thank you for your service.
Unfortunatly... this is what men do... if there is a war, we will go in front... die or kill.... we will do what we can do defend our country and the people we love.... The men in both ww1 and ww2 where some of the best of us, and deserve our highest respect....
Historians have pegged the number of horses and mules that served in the British army on the western front at 350,000. Millions served in the entire war, both sides, both fronts. The Animals in War Memorial, located in Hyde Park, London 'commemorates the countless animals that have served and died under British military commamd throughout history...' '
War makes no sense, and this one made less sense than most. I bring this up every time...in the words of my high-school history teacher, this war started because "someone nobody had ever heard of killed someone nobody liked over a piece of land nobody wanted."
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing It should be noted that this is NOT originally a Sabaton song. Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead wrote and recorded it first, which is why you see the Motorhead flag flying in the parade, and the remaining members of that band carrying Lemmy's picture. Considering how hard & heavy Motorhead was known for playing, you should listen to their version. It's a swift kick in the feels. Still, Sabaton more than did it justice, especially with Tina Guo's cello playing during the history lesson. Sabaton don't take sides when they present these tidbits of history. They simply stick to the facts.
@@n5iln I did see their flag, and did see the credits where Motörhead members were present during the recording of the music video. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to the first version. I’ll have to listen now 🤔
Hard hitting song. Get teary eyes the moment the cello kicks in. Another very heavy one according the US vets, Wrong Side Of Heaven from Five Fingers Death Punch. Tissues needed! War by the way NEVER makes sence!!!
I had another request for that as well even though I’ve heard the song I’m still gonna do a reaction because it’s always the same no matter how many times I hear it 🥺😕❤️🎶🤘🏻
I looked at the music videos you've reacted to and discovered that you haven't listened to Sabaton's guitarist Tommy Johansson's cover, which you just have to listen to. Because he makes these into his own rockier versions and elevates the songs. A little about Tommy: Tommy "ReinXeed" Johansson, born October 26, 1987 in Boden, is a Swedish multi-instrumentalist, singer and music producer, best known for his work in the bands Sabaton and Majestica. Participated in Rhapsody in rock at Dalhalla together with Robert Wells, among others, July 2023. So in Tommy's cover video, it's just him and he plays all the instruments including drums, as well as computer and camera. All are recorded at his home. So the first song I think you should listen to is: SHE'S GONE - STEELHEART (Cover by Tommy Johansson)th-cam.com/video/CC0EJpUq-Os/w-d-xo.html YOU RAISE ME UP (1 OCTAVE CHALLENGE) - TOMMY JOHANSSON th-cam.com/video/zoGJ7mxNq0M/w-d-xo.html THE POWER OF LOVE (Celine Dion/Jennifer Rush) - Cover by Tommy Johansson th-cam.com/video/yGLuPiqHAR0/w-d-xo.html SARÀ PERCHÉ TI AMO (Metal version) - Tommy Johansson th-cam.com/video/QG2ETO2ML10/w-d-xo.html I promise you will like Tommy's Version of the songs and not be shocked by the voice he has and the breadth of his singing voice.
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing It was nothing. Tommy Johansson did during December 2022, 24 covers of Christmas songs one for each day and in one of them he imitated the voice of various celebrities including Mariah Carey
if you want to be impressed by the story you should do white death history version, 40:1 (live woodstock 2012) and the unkillable soldier official music video if you want to be impressed by sabaton you should do bismarck official music video or soldier of heaven official music video if you want an amazing story with a beautiful song you should do no bullets fly official animated story video if you want overall amazing music you should do anything from sabaton if you want emotions you should do the cliffs of gallipoli (live woodstock poland 2012, the price of a mile (official lyric video or live wacken 2019 or live woodstock poland 2012, christmas truce (official music video) or the hammer has fallen (fan made lyric or music video) it is also very underrated
I want you to imagine you're a scared shitless 16 year old who has lied about his age and is now in the trench. You are then told to go over the top and charge the enemy while they shoot at you with almost no cover or anything to protect you. If you refuse you will likely be shot on the spot for cowardice/desertion. Think about that next time you wanna complain your amazon order is late.
I have actually seen this video many of times I have much respect for five finger. Death Punch and I have seen them live. They’re an amazing band. I normally don’t do reactions to videos I’ve already seen because it’s really not a first time reaction but if you would like me to do it, I will out of respect for our military 🎶❤️🥺

@@treintje1001 “easter eggs” is what we call it in my house but I guess technically it would be called a teaser… but I do like when music videos or movies put things in there that link together the next video or movie to come.

World War 1, a war fought by empires using Napoleonic tactics with modernized weaponry, part of the reason why the numbers in those battles were just so very high.

A good example is how Ukraine screams against the dictator Russia, because they want to live in freedom and not under a crazy dictator, who murders and throws people in prison who don't think like him.
I understand that war is necessary. I just hate seeing it…😕
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing You haven't seen war and what hell it is, support children and women who have been raped and the children have been as young as 4 years old. See dead civilians innocent people that Russian soldiers have killed for fun. The stench of corpses. As well as then in Kosovo where they carried out ethnic cleansing of people.
@@ingvartorma9789 I’m not saying I have seen war by any means, but just what I’ve seen as enough, so not trying to be disrespectful at all. Please understand that I’m just saying that I couldn’t, nor would I want to imagine what people that go to war or people that are involved that don’t need to be involved have to endure that’s all I’m saying. Sorry if I offended you in someway wasn’t my intention.
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing Sorry I misunderstood you.
@@ingvartorma9789 it’s OK that’s why I hate text messaging. I’m old-school talking face-to-face is so much easier because messaging can be taken the wrong way. Thank you for your comment and if you have seen war or been exposed to it in any way I thank you for your service.
Unfortunatly... this is what men do... if there is a war, we will go in front... die or kill.... we will do what we can do defend our country and the people we love.... The men in both ww1 and ww2 where some of the best of us, and deserve our highest respect....
I agree just sad that is the way it has to be but I have the highest respect for our military ❤️
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing Men is and always will be willing to lay down their lives for the people they love.... thats just a fact...
@@CoCooMa11 true, men are the protectors of the family ❤️
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing most of us DO try you know :(
@@CoCooMa11 I meant true as I’m agreeing with you that men do protect us
Historians have pegged the number of horses and mules that served in the British army on the western front at 350,000. Millions served in the entire war, both sides, both fronts.
The Animals in War Memorial, located in Hyde Park, London 'commemorates the countless animals that have served and died under British military commamd throughout history...' '
🥺🥺🥺
From veterans of many wars, wounded and dying don't ask "god", they ask and yell for their mother.
🥺🥺
War makes no sense, and this one made less sense than most. I bring this up every time...in the words of my high-school history teacher, this war started because "someone nobody had ever heard of killed someone nobody liked over a piece of land nobody wanted."
I mean to me there just has to be a better way 😢 but I’m glad the band does this to make people remember 🤘🏻🎶❤️
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing It should be noted that this is NOT originally a Sabaton song. Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead wrote and recorded it first, which is why you see the Motorhead flag flying in the parade, and the remaining members of that band carrying Lemmy's picture.
Considering how hard & heavy Motorhead was known for playing, you should listen to their version. It's a swift kick in the feels. Still, Sabaton more than did it justice, especially with Tina Guo's cello playing during the history lesson.
Sabaton don't take sides when they present these tidbits of history. They simply stick to the facts.
@@n5iln I did see their flag, and did see the credits where Motörhead members were present during the recording of the music video. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to the first version. I’ll have to listen now 🤔
❤
❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶
Hard hitting song.
Get teary eyes the moment the cello kicks in.
Another very heavy one according the US vets, Wrong Side Of Heaven from Five Fingers Death Punch.
Tissues needed!
War by the way NEVER makes sence!!!
I had another request for that as well even though I’ve heard the song I’m still gonna do a reaction because it’s always the same no matter how many times I hear it 🥺😕❤️🎶🤘🏻
💯💯💯✝️❤️🔥🛐
💜🎶🤘🏻🦋
I looked at the music videos you've reacted to and discovered that you haven't listened to Sabaton's guitarist Tommy Johansson's cover, which you just have to listen to. Because he makes these into his own rockier versions and elevates the songs.
A little about Tommy: Tommy "ReinXeed" Johansson, born October 26, 1987 in Boden, is a Swedish multi-instrumentalist, singer and music producer, best known for his work in the bands Sabaton and Majestica. Participated in Rhapsody in rock at Dalhalla together with Robert Wells, among others, July 2023.
So in Tommy's cover video, it's just him and he plays all the instruments including drums, as well as computer and camera. All are recorded at his home.
So the first song I think you should listen to is: SHE'S GONE - STEELHEART (Cover by Tommy Johansson)th-cam.com/video/CC0EJpUq-Os/w-d-xo.html
YOU RAISE ME UP (1 OCTAVE CHALLENGE) - TOMMY JOHANSSON th-cam.com/video/zoGJ7mxNq0M/w-d-xo.html
THE POWER OF LOVE (Celine Dion/Jennifer Rush) - Cover by Tommy Johansson
th-cam.com/video/yGLuPiqHAR0/w-d-xo.html
SARÀ PERCHÉ TI AMO (Metal version) - Tommy Johansson
th-cam.com/video/QG2ETO2ML10/w-d-xo.html
I promise you will like Tommy's Version of the songs and not be shocked by the voice he has and the breadth of his singing voice.
I will add it to the list. Thank you for the suggestions. I appreciate it. ❤️🎶🤘🏻
@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing It was nothing.
Tommy Johansson did during December 2022, 24 covers of Christmas songs one for each day and in one of them he imitated the voice of various celebrities including Mariah Carey
@@ingvartorma9789 wow 😯
Life was cheap back then especially for the generals.
if you want to be impressed by the story you should do white death history version, 40:1 (live woodstock 2012) and the unkillable soldier official music video
if you want to be impressed by sabaton you should do bismarck official music video or soldier of heaven official music video
if you want an amazing story with a beautiful song you should do no bullets fly official animated story video
if you want overall amazing music you should do anything from sabaton
if you want emotions you should do the cliffs of gallipoli (live woodstock poland 2012, the price of a mile (official lyric video or live wacken 2019 or live woodstock poland 2012, christmas truce (official music video) or the hammer has fallen (fan made lyric or music video) it is also very underrated
Thank you for the suggestions I will add them to the list. 🤘🏻🎶❤️
I want you to imagine you're a scared shitless 16 year old who has lied about his age and is now in the trench. You are then told to go over the top and charge the enemy while they shoot at you with almost no cover or anything to protect you. If you refuse you will likely be shot on the spot for cowardice/desertion. Think about that next time you wanna complain your amazon order is late.
Please react to Five Finger Death Punch - "Wrong Side of Heaven" the official video.
I have actually seen this video many of times I have much respect for five finger. Death Punch and I have seen them live. They’re an amazing band. I normally don’t do reactions to videos I’ve already seen because it’s really not a first time reaction but if you would like me to do it, I will out of respect for our military 🎶❤️🥺
Thank you for your reply. I will leave it entirely up to you as this is a reaction channel and not new to you. May I suggest No Bullets Fly or Christmas Truce by Sabaton.
I am enjoying your reactions.
@@redguern they are on my list but since you asked I will do it because no matter how many times I listen to it still the same reaction 🥺
😊
And women shamed men not in uniform with the white feather of cowardice. I mean these boys where 16 years old, and they wanted to go to war and fight.
I don’t even know what to say to that 😞
All because a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich
Wow 😯 that’s crazy 😢 I was trying to read everything, don’t know if I missed that but that is sad 😞
Note the planes flying over near the end reference to two other of their songs Night witches and no bullets fly 😊
I LOVE Easter eggs to another songs 😯🎶❤️🤘🏻
Is that a fact, or is it just something that you believe?
@@treintje1001 I like when movies or music videos do what we call an Easter egg with technically is a teaser to connect the next video or movie that’s gonna come after. Is there something wrong with that?
@@treintje1001 “easter eggs” is what we call it in my house but I guess technically it would be called a teaser… but I do like when music videos or movies put things in there that link together the next video or movie to come. There is another artist I listen to that does that a lot and if you don’t follow his music from the beginning to the end, sometimes you won’t understand what’s going on which I find interesting.
The Bomber that flys over is not the B17 from No bullets fly it's the British Bomber Avro Lancaster
