The melody is actually from a very popular church psalm called "Härlig är jorden" (which can be roughly translated as "Lovely is the earth") and it's one of the most well known psalms here in Sweden. Even those who don't attend Church on a weekly basis (which is the majority of the population, as we're all godless heathens) knows this specific psalm.
1. Joachim isn't wearing his sunglasses; 2. Joachim hits the table, not his knee; 3. You, Dave, have got amazing voice, wow! 4. I love your reactions :-)
"För Sverige i Tiden" is the current monarch motto, Means "For Sweden with the times." He is a quite modern monarch, and also quite popular. I don't care so much for my government, but I will fight to my death for my king.
Love your reaction to the song. I did my military service at Livgardet; proud to have been a small part of the regiment. A few explenations: "Anor från blott 16 man" (Originates from just 16 men) = the regiment originates from just 16 men originally. 16 men from Darcarlia originally formed the Life Guard for Gustav Vasa, our king who drove out the Danes. Knä om knä Livgardet går (Knee upon knee the Life Guard march) = The military tactic, they marched close-knited (their knees next to each others knees) against their enemies until "they coukd see the whites of their eyes" before they fired. För Sdverige i Tiden, Det gör vad som Synes Omöjligt = (For Sweden, in our time. They Do What Appears To be Impossible"). First the motto of the current king, and then the motto of the Life Guard.
Absolutely check out the English one :) Just like the album Carolus Rex, every other track originally in Swedish has an English version because they value their international fans. The video for The Royal Guard (the English version of Livgardet) takes place just before this one, its like a two-part video. The English version is an early battle, and then this video follows with the planning and strategy session as they prepare for the rest of the war. There are no parts of any actual anthems (the Swedish national one or any other) in this song but I wholheartedly agree that it sounds like it - it has that epic quality that characterises an anthem. As always, great fun to spend some time with you :D Thanks for sharing your awesome /Lizz
Great reaction! In the past Livgardet was the elite of the elite soldiers in Europe, only the best most loyal soldiers got to join Livgardet. You should check out the English version of this song too named "The Royal Guard", it shows a good example on how elite the guard was as the English version is about the skirmish in Bender that the royal guard took part in.
The first melody you hear is taken from a Christian hymn "Fairest Lord Jesus", also known as "Beautiful Savior". Try to listen to the Swedish version of it called "Deilig er jorden". You'll swear you just heard Sabaton's Livgardet lyrics instead lmao
Love the reaction as always., But Still gonna ask you to react to Sabaton's "Shiroyama" And The royal Guardsmen Snoopy Vs the Red Baron and Snoopys Christmas
Indeed there is true loylty. Their oath is to the crown. Not the king. The king wears the rown, and thus must be protected. But the oath to the crown, regardless of who wears it. Almos the same in Denmark, except our LIvgarden swears fealty to the royal house in its entirety. and that sense of something you mention. Its a sense of purpose. A sense of having found exactly where you belong in life. Between your King/Queen and whoever is foolish enough to threaten him/her.
The English version of the video is more epic, regardless of the lyrics. It is more on one specific fight, while the lyrics remain about the regimental history in general.
From the frozen North, they came Fought for founding father's claim It was then, their tale began Trace their roots from sixteen strong By their King where they belong En tid, Av Krig Wherever he goes Near or far, they are close For the King of Sweden, they lay down their lives For the Swedish crown, they stand By their King at his command Five hundred years, for the fatherland Marching across the belt Crushing blow at Narva dеalt Livgardet, our royal guard Sworn protectors of the thronе Royal doctrine set in stone For the crown you shall give your life By traditions from the past Swedish soldiers stand steadfast I frid, och i strid And if one shall fall Yet another heeds the call For King and for country, they lay down their lives For the Swedish crown, they stand By their King at his command Five hundred years for the fatherland Marching across the belt Crushing blow at Narva dealt Livgardet, our royal guard För Sverige i tiden Dit konungen går De gör vad som synes omöjligt Vad än framtiden spår Wherever he goes Near or far, they are close For the King of Sweden, they lay down their lives Still for the crown, they stand By their King at his command Five hundred years for the fatherland Marching across the belt Crushing blow at Narva dealt Livgardet, our royal guard Thought i moght just as well put the english lyrics up.
you should first have watched the English version this video is kind of a follow-up to that, kind of interesting that they split it like that weaving them together
Sabaton played in occupied Crimea at Putin's propaganda festival organized by the Night Wolves. Therefore, they were not allowed to participate in the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Swedish Royal Guard. Joakim: "It's sad that the fear of Russia lives on"
Только вот Sabaton не заметили, что люди живут при оккупации. Смешно рассуждают люди о том, о чем не знают. Крым отделился от страны У, и только потом провел референдум. В листах для голосования были вопросы: остаться в составе У, стать независимым государством иди стать частью России. Люди сделали свой выбор. Так, что молчите лучше.

The joy you have from hearing this in Swedish gives me joy man.

skämtar du?
dö för vår kung?
aldrig att jag skulle dö för en överbetald statschef som inte ens är vald av folket

@@dsandstrom93 hahaha, helt rätt!
11:30 The hymn sung here gives a sense of freedom to me as it was used when school was out for summer.

This is the swedish version, you should also check out the english one
No Swedish version is superior
I have to agree. There just something about hearing a song in a bands native tounge.
@@whatitdodave it's still good, the lyrics in the English version are different.
👏🏻 my brothers favorite band. Its mighty music
React to The Price Of Mile What it do Dave it's hits different
The first melody you hear is taken from a Christian hymn "Fairest Lord Jesus", also known as "Beautiful Savior". Try to listen to the Swedish version of it called "Deilig er jorden". You'll swear you just heard Sabaton's Livgardet lyrics instead lmao
Deilig er jorden is Danish. In Swedish it's härlig är jorden
@@Skumgummiii and now we know why danish will always be better
Hi Dave, I love your reactions! And I love Sabaton's Swedish songs! All their others too, of course.
Makes my day to see your Sabaton reactions.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
It´s the oldest still active regiment in the world! The Swedish Royal Guard (Livgardet)
loads of people have left delightful comments, so i'll just plonk in: look up the march across the belts, "tåget över bält" in the song :3
Love the reaction as always., But Still gonna ask you to react to Sabaton's "Shiroyama"
And The royal Guardsmen Snoopy Vs the Red Baron and Snoopys Christmas

React to En livstid i krig (live from Gothenborg)
U will get chills
I was there and I can only agree with you.
the english title is royal guard but livgardet translates to "life guards"
Aces in exile
The English version of the video is more epic, regardless of the lyrics. It is more on one specific fight, while the lyrics remain about the regimental history in general.
Vive les versions Suédoises !
you should watch SABATON (the royal guard) its an english version
From the frozen North, they came
Fought for founding father's claim
It was then, their tale began
Trace their roots from sixteen strong
By their King where they belong
En tid, Av Krig
Wherever he goes
Near or far, they are close
For the King of Sweden, they lay down their lives
For the Swedish crown, they stand
By their King at his command
Five hundred years, for the fatherland
Marching across the belt
Crushing blow at Narva dеalt
Livgardet, our royal guard
Sworn protectors of the thronе
Royal doctrine set in stone
For the crown you shall give your life
By traditions from the past
Swedish soldiers stand steadfast
I frid, och i strid
And if one shall fall
Yet another heeds the call
For King and for country, they lay down their lives
For the Swedish crown, they stand
By their King at his command
Five hundred years for the fatherland
Marching across the belt
Crushing blow at Narva dealt
Livgardet, our royal guard
För Sverige i tiden
Dit konungen går
De gör vad som synes omöjligt
Vad än framtiden spår
Wherever he goes
Near or far, they are close
For the King of Sweden, they lay down their lives
Still for the crown, they stand
By their King at his command
Five hundred years for the fatherland
Marching across the belt
Crushing blow at Narva dealt
Livgardet, our royal guard
Thought i moght just as well put the english lyrics up.
you should first have watched the English version this video is kind of a follow-up to that, kind of interesting that they split it like that weaving them together
Please put Carolus Rex on your to do list!
