sabaton
Fun fact, Joakim (the singer) originally joined that band to play the keyboard but when they could not find a singer he filled that roll, it is still an ongoing joke that they are still looking for a singer.
And they also have Tommy on the guitar there whose voice is stunning.
"lazy bastards" his quote about the other guys not looking for another singer
@@beleraphon07 well, he also has his own band called Majestica
Thats true. (Im a Biiiiiiiig sabaton fan)
JOAKIM: We need a really special ending for this song.
TOMMY: Maybe a power soprano reprising the melodic line? That would be cool!
HANNES (on phone): Honey, can you come down to the studio?
ROSALIE: let me skip through the ending and not listen to that ending ...
@@saelfaer And she did.
@@saelfaer :D oh that silly Rosalie!
Sorry guys! Truce? ;)
@@rosalieelliottofficial for sure, keep reacting and keep enduring our nitpicking. Enjoy!
I made the mistake of not watching the credits at the end in their entirety (I did hear part of the special guest vocals though). Sorry about that. I know that bothered a few of you. Truce? ;) Remember the lyrics and point of the song :) Lest we forget!
😊
Rosalie, I have ordered that the assault is to be canceled... Truce!
It’s ok. I guest you did it now… 😊 By the way, for your next Nightwish reaction… for some songs it’s also important to go to the very last end…
you are forgiven ;-)
@@andyohil7465 I think I know which song you refer to... 😏 and yes Rosalie, Andy is right. DO NOT skip that one, you thank us and yourself for not skipping ;)
Looking forward to that reaction and to more Nightwish, Epica and Sabaton :D
No Bullets Fly, animated story video...incredible story, bring tissues for that one. Gets me every time...
THIS!
I concur!!!!
Animated STORY video
I concur. And yes, the story video please.
Totally agree!
The wife of Hannes, Sabaton drummer, was diagnosed with breast cancer; surgery tomorrow.
Those of us attending a Nightwish show on the European tour, let’s all wear pink to show Floor our love and support.
how about donate some money for b cancer foundation/research instead of wearing a 1 dollar pink band
@@Belnick6666
You can actually do both👍
She had the operation they removed a tumor and lymph node. It's now the waiting game but according to her and her people doing well and in good spirits
Why pink?
@@margelatutrandafirulgalben3156 A pink ribbon done in a sort of a upside-down teardrop loop is the symbol of breast cancer. Wearing just pink is more visible than the little badge and would stand out more from a distance so that those on stage can see it. You could also draw the badge on a large piece of paper, I guess or have a pink scarf to wave. Hope that explains it :)
You missed it! The beautiful singing in the credits was done by Floor Jansen! The blonde guy that was effectively the main character is the drummer for the band and the husband of Floor as well.
I loved when I found that out. more reasons to like both Sabaton and Nightwish?! Yes please!
I was thinking the same thing when she skimmed through that part. I was like, "NOOOO!".
@@Captain_Kirk116 I’ve seen many reactors do the same thing. Has the mcu taught us nothing? You never know what you could miss in the credits!
Floor!!!!
I don’t respect any “vocal coach” reactor that skims through Floors end credits. I automatically put a reactor doing this into the hack department.
This is not a music video. It is a short film of breathtaking joy and terrible tragedy.
Also, this was AMAZING in concert, with the whole audience singing the chorus.
Every Sabaton show is a damn experience of the soul.
I remember at Graspop. First five rows threw their hands on the shoulders and waved along.
We were all friends.
@@kerlongsjorlejov1945 so true it was truly amazing to be a part of something like that.
@@shawnaerts9919 And I hope it'll happen more during concerts.
It's funny. I am Swedish and I love metal music, but I resisted listening to Sabaton for a long time because I heard they did music about war and though I like history I thought they would be glorifying war. Then I went along to a concert.. and was blown away, as you could have guessed. This is my new favorite Christmas song.
samma sak för mig. Oboy, where we wrong. 😉
I hope you found their Sabaton History channel to learn. 😊
So many people in Sweden who has them labelled as a white power band. I haven’t been able to find that in any of their music so far.
@@patrikpersson4626 I've never heard that, only "they sing about war" and that sounded bad enough for me.. they missed adding that it's about historic events which would have gotten me interested at once.
@Solar Warden Foolish? Most likely. Made at bad choice? Definitely.
This is a masterpiece, always chills especially when the piano starts and when Floor sings the outro.
Yes it was "Carol Of The Bells", but in a minor key. Love Floor Jansen's vocals in the ending credits, she is married to the drummer I believe. They sing about historical war events, but they don't take sides. They sing of valor and injustice. I recommend the animated story version of "The Night Witches". If history was taught like this, a lot more people would remember it. The way they say "The snow turns the ground white." to me sounds like they are saying "The snow turns burgund white.", maybe on purpose.
I'm pretty sure the carol of the bells motif is inverted in Christmas truce, ending on the low more sombre note as if to signal that the day after these men would be back to killing one another and this would go on for another 4 years rather than the bright an hopefully note the motif ends on in the actually carol of the bells. Its a really simple but wonderfully clever bit of composition that means the whole things still manages to both sound distinctively Christmassy (as carol of the bells is basically the global culturally accepted Xmas Leitmotif at this point) and hopeful whilst just subtly hinting at the horror that is to come. All achieved by just flipping some of the notes upside down
Sabaton is great! Really cool war stories! I discovered them because Floor Jansen is married to their drummer! ❤
And she provides backing choir for a lot of their songs.
It was the other way for me. I discovered Nightwish because of Sabaton. 😄
@@Crazael She provided the credits song for this music video
@@phoenix9448 I discovered Sabaton because of Nightwish and now I love Sabaton too ;-)
@@fabrizio_prina haha... me too ;o)
Imagine the psychology of the soldier who first stood up and approached the other side. He was probably so fatigued by the fighting that he didn't care if he was killed but longed so much for a moment of peace he was willing to take that chance.
Yes! So well said.
The French soldier, Tommy Johannson, the lead guitarist, is an awesome vocalist in his own right. He has his own band, Majestica, as well as his own channel where he does covers of pop music in Metal form. Check those out as well.
oh wow really? so much talent!! i'll make a note. thank you
Just saw them a little over a week ago and they absolutely don't disappoint in their live shows!
Sabaton mantra is” Lest We Forget”. They are the only band in this niche. They are not political but sing of mostly the heroics, sacrifices throughout history of man. They are a exceptional metal band. They even have Sabaton History channel explaining the stories behind a lot of their songs. Take it from this very old Metal rock head, Check out 40-1 live in Woodstock Poland, or Swedish Pagans ( just put Sabaton Swedish Pagans with Cello). En Livid I Krig with English lyrics. Sorry I can’t give you the links I’m old but you’ve gone down a huge fox hole they have no bad songs! God Bless Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have seen them several times live, and I have never left a show with them disappointed.
Old Metal Rock head here, the right spelling is, Sabaton- En Livstid I Krig ( live-The Great Tour- Gothenburg) English captions. I knew I needed to get the right spelling for the site, because I’m old and can’t send you the links but I can’t spell either! Oh well I know you will become one of Sabaton’ s biggest supporters because they mix emotions, with great lyrics, a great riff, killer drums and a metal rock voice telling stories that are true! It’s why I love Metal/ rock for over 60 years. It’s not just tugging on the heart it’s beating and driving not just your heart but your soul to the edge and back again. Most Metal rock heads already know that metal is human emotions. So it’s great that your seeing that Metal is not just just loud and noisy as you previously thought but a fast & hard journey that takes you on a marvelous sometimes uncomfortable journey but you can’t wait for the next trip! Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@frankpuncekar5051 thank you! :) looking fwd to exploring more soon.
Lot’s of comments already suggesting it, but you really have to react to Sabatons live swedish version of ”En livstid i krig” (a lifetime in war) from Gothenburg. It is really powerful and the lyrics makes me cry every single time. The translation isn’t the best but you’ll get most of it.
I think there is a version on TH-cam where someone has tried to make a more accurate translation.
I showed a friend of mine who is in her 70's, and she cried, that's the power of this song.
First of all thank you for this video. I could tell that you were genuinely taken aback by this masterpiece. I just seen Sabaton for the first time a couple of weeks ago . They were amazing . They performed the Christmas Truce perfectly . Theses five guys are all good friends who enjoy what they do . They are true history buffs who want to make sure history is truthfully told . They are more than a band . They are historians as well as musicians .
You should listen to Tommy Johansson (Sabaton guitarist) singing O Helga Natt on his channel
That one is insane! Tommy is an awsome musician even outside Sabaton. Quiet crazy, just like Chris, but talanted like few! 😁
The band also have channel called Sabaton History where they do about hour long documentaries about the subject of each song 🙂musically not really my kind of metal but I really really enjoy watching the documentaries and seeing people reacting to them.
That may be the best description of Joakim’s voice I’ve ever heard. The dude is an ancient oak, both in his voice and physically. XD
Sabaton would best be classified as Power Metal, a genre known for big, grandiose sounds often quite theatrical in nature and focused on story-telling.
An oak cask that has been used to store whiskey. Deep, rich, smooth with an edgy (growl) to it. Love his voice.
As a Swede I'm obviously partial BUT their Swedish songs are the best performances they have.
Different languages sound more or less agreeable (German/French 🙄).
This live of 'En livstid i krig' in Gothenburg/Sweden th-cam.com/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/w-d-xo.html is their most played song for a reason.
@@boek2777 As a swedish speaking finn I've listened to swedish music all my life but (nr 1) I don't like "rock" in swedish but (nr 2) Carolus Rex album is so much more powerful in swedish so that's the exception.
I tear up every time I hear it. I saw them ten days ago, and this song live was my favorite part. ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!
Saw them in Phoenix last month. So awesome when we all turned on the flashlights on our cell phones, waved them back and forth and sang along, "We are all friends."
Every time i hear this song, the lines "we were soldiers. carried the war on our shoulders for our nation. is that why we bury our friends?" makes me emotional. such a profound line
It is incomprehensible to me why one do not play a video to the end. There was no musical interruption to the credits. So one know that the song is not over. Just because credits are running then one decide to end the video.
People used to leave when the credits roll at a cinema (remember them?), so they could get to their way home quickly.
Then along came a few choice cult movies with snippets revealed in the credits.
@@ev-1832 You can't compare. As I said, there was no musical interruption. This makes the credits associated with the song.
In the end you can hear Floor Jansen singing. Her husband is the blond guy.
Thank for reacting to Sabaton they are amazing I would suggest you react to their song”En Livstid I Krig “ A lifetime of war truly a emotional song💙
Agreed, live version from The Great Tour, Gothenburg. Turn on the subtitles as ut is in Swedish.Epic song, epic lyrics, epic crowd.
Need to make sure it is this one, the concert in Swedish with subtitles switched on; th-cam.com/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Sabaton
Hope you listen to the Swedish version then, the lyrics in Swedish is so much stronger then the English version.
Oh,nice! I really hope you continue down this rabbithole! Sabaton is writing about war and historical events/persons,they are huge historybuffs so if something is in a video you can be pretty sure it's how it actually were in reality. They even have their own history channel. To recommend a few other songs I would go for En livstid i krig (A lifetime of war ) from the great tour in Gothenburg,make sure to turn on CC as it's in swedish. Soldier of Heaven, Lady of the dark or No bullets fly,animated story. Lovely reaction,keep doing what you do!
The blonde dude that was hit by the grenade and later went over the trench is Hannes Dahl Floors Swedish husband 😎❤️🇧🇻
Sabaton Is a swedish power metal band, almost all their song is about historical battle, see No bullets Fly (animated video), Swedish Pagans (live with Tina Guon), Last Stand (live with orchestra) & En livstid I krig (live)
This was an event actually happening just because of 1 brave soldiers. He just crawled out of the trenches and this whole chain reaction happend.
Sabaton is actually french, its the armoured shoe of a medieval knight
I saw Sabaton in concert for the first time this past Friday, and they legitimately are one of the best bands I've ever seen; and I've seen Rammstein. Definitely recommended to check them out when they're around you.
Rammstein can't compete with Sabaton what comes to live performance. Sabaton has a lot more energy and the most important: contact in the audience.
I loved your reaction and analysis. Thanks. In response to your request, this song is both representative and, at the same time, not representative of Sabaton's music. Their themes are always focused on military history and they always showcase valor and humanity. They do a lot of research so their stories are historically accurate. They even have a separate You Tube channel discussing the historical background of their compositions. However, the symphonic element you noticed is usually not as prominent in Sabaton's music. It's often there but they are generally heavier and more focused on traditional metal instruments. I'm not enough of a musicologist to name the metal subgenre; others will probably do that.
Randall, I believe they are generally put into the "power metal" category. Personally, I put them into the "good music" category.
They call themselves a heavy metal band, so i guess they are a heavy metal band.
@@alantidwell7889 Bassist Pär Sundström said in an interview: "I don't think Sabaton can only be categorized as power metal, as the two main attributes of power metal are high pitched vocals and fantasy lyrics and Sabaton have neither of those. We simply play our version of heavy metal-what heavy metal is to us.
the ending credits is floor singing..she is married to hannes the drummer of sabaton..the guy that got hit with the grenade in the beginning
yes it is Carol of the bells, but played backwards (except for at the absolute end where it turns around)
I am speechless. Sabaton is one of the most epic Swedes that have ever existed, in my view.
Flor is a person who deserves more recognition for her voice. She is amazing.
I love most of Sabaton’s songs but this song just gives me so many emotions. They are amazing story tellers of history.
You should react to Solider of Heaven from the same album. Sabaton is epic and brings light to events, battles and people we hardly ever heard of. They have some really hearbreaking songs mixxed with all the epic headbangers, all based on military history.
You should react to Tommy Johansson The guy who played the guitarsolo He have his own youtubechannel with a lot of amacing cowers His voice is amacing and the range is cracy
He is an multiinstrumentalist and play all the instrument himself
Maybe The show must go on Queen or The power of love Celine Dion No it's not a joke 😏
Or Gary Moore cover.
And his band majestica
This lady is a singer...she needs to hear Tommy Johansson covering Josh Groban's You Raise Me Up (One Octave Challenge) ! A really fine performance by Tommy!
If you want to listen to more Sabaton, to see their range, I'd suggest "En livstid i kring" (live from Gothenburg) and also "Carolus Rex" (Swedish version is best).
Sabaton is an English word with its origins in Provençal. It refers to an armoured boot consisting of solid heel and toe sections with a number of articulated steel strips - called 'lames' - which protect the wearer's feet in battle.
They stopped the battle for about 9 hrs. They sang, drank and played games them the battle resumed. Beautiful and sad. RIP to all fallen soldiers🌹
Sabaton does history - it's all true stories and they don't "pick sides" and show heroism, valor and mercy by good people in the worst of times.
If I may suggest / request - try "No Bullets Fly" (it's 8:50 long - w/Yarnhub) - a true story about valor and mercy. Would you be up to do a reaction to that one?
The Yarnhub video is a great way to listen to the song. And don't skip the end!
I think a great representation as to their music (and what type of Rock they are) is Sabaton.
Personal recommendation, however, is En Livstid i Krig , filmed live at Gothenburg. Shows just how moving their music can be, if Winter Truce didn't show it enough already!
I concur
Bah, I meant to suggest Bismark as representative of their more routine Rock songs. :D
I don't understand Americans, the vast majority don't have the patience to watch a video clip until the end, skipping the credits. You like the song you watched, but you don't realize that the video has the quality it has because of the people behind the scenes who participate in its creation. Bands show their gratitude for these people by mentioning them all, and many European bands such as Sabaton or Rammstein, but not only them, consider and treat this part as an outro for their songs. And you skip this part, often losing a part of the piece and often interesting things. In this case, the ending was thought of as an end to the story told in the video and the one who sings is Floor Jansen, the vocal soloist from Nightwish and also the wife of Hanes, the drummer from Sabaton, it's about the blond guy, the one who first out of the trenches. If you ever react to Rammstein's videos, know that many times they also include the credit part in the story, considering it the outro of the song.
I totally conquer.
thank you for the pointers. :) ps. don't assume I am American ;)
@@rosalieelliottofficial Sorry for assuming this, but on your page in the about section it says United States, that would be the first element, and the second, the right much more subjective, most of those who ignore the final part of the pieces are Americans. Maybe others see things differently, but this is what I observed. Let's do more than a truce, let's make peace.
@@MariusLapugean Yes, I live in the US and am a citizen, but I am actually Cuban and German, born and raised in Germany. Came here in 2011. your assumptions and obserbations may be correct, but I don't watch many other reactors in general so I wouldn't know :) And yes, i agree w peace. people seem to forget the whole point of the song within seconds only to address what they dislike. I came for Sabaton and it was epic. :)
The 11th Commandment: You shall not skip Floor Jansen´s aria at the end of Christmas Truce by Sabaton.
Rosalie, you are awesome! …but cutting anything Floor is music listening Blaspheme. Never do that again! ;)
Ya’know, you could do a full reaction just on Floor’s outro.
We would All tune in :)
gave me a good chuckle.. yes yes yes that is sooo true!
Sabaton are one of the most amazing bands out there👍the accuracy they write their songs based on actual historical events is phenomenal 👌 one of the most amazing ones is "no bullets fly" it's truly awe-inspiring the story its paying homage to can honestly say I've never heard a bad song from them also have a check out of their guitarist Mr Tommy johannson on his TH-cam channel especially his numerous cover version of songs 👍have a fantastic one stay safe take care all the very best from Scotland to you 👊 👍
Thank you for your reaction !! Each time I listen to one of their music I need time to "digest them" an d that's why after 3 year knowing them I only listened to no more than 10 songs ...
And I sincerely reccommand them all !!
- No bullet fly (animated story)
- Bismarck
- Night witches (animated story)
- Smoking snakes
- To hell and back (official video)
- Primo Victoria
- 40:1
- The final solution
thank you for the suggestion :)
Saw a story on this...two 20 ish people met in a coffee shop in NY and got to talking. Turned out their relatives were in this war, and that they had exchanged photos with each other. The two that met in NY had each other's great grandparents photos in their wallets!!?
Absolute. Favorite. Christmas song. Ever.
You know what the saddest part about this was? The Christmas Truce was initiated by the soldiers on the ground, their high command on both sides didn't sanction it and when they found out they moved the soldiers around to other places along the front because they refused to fight their comrades on the other side. They also expressly forbid interacting with the enemy again because they didn't want anymore truces. If they hadn't expressly done everything in their power to prevent another Christmas Truce scenario, this war may have ended a lot sooner then it did. It just shows that most soldiers in war have no inherent desire to kill each other.
Your passion pull the listeners in. I was hooked anyway. Great reaction! A song that remind us what it means to be a human and a true friend, We need that message more then ever.
One never paus Floor!
Isn't it amazing how one thousand nine hundred years ago a simple baby born in a manger could stop a war in the heat of its violence and bring peace for a day. Almost all of Sabaton videos are about true stories. We just never forget.
Love that perspective ❤
Gee, if he could have only done something for the millions of others that died...
Sabaton is telling stories of real events or persons, so all their Songs have historical Background
Im sure someone already stated this but their drummer (The long blond haired guy who is first up the ladder) is the husband of Floor Jansen from Nightwish. Floor also sings the closing section.
Sabaton is currently the most successful power metal band. The Symphonic is an evolution, hence the similarities.
The main theme of Sabaton is war. As you've seen, they're not just about heroic stories. Again and again they show the downsides or soldiers becoming heroes through "wrong" behavior like here.
They also have a history channel, where a historian explains the background of their stories and band members talk about the process of making them.
Christmas Truce - December 1914 - Sabaton History 107 [Official]
The album was sent during the pandemic and Floor can often be heard in the background. The end credits of this video are also sung by her.
No mans land (20:10 ish) is a common reference to the part between the trenches. The part of land that is currently being fought over, and therefore belongs to nobody, no man.
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for explaining that :) I’m learning.
If Artist='Sabaton' then BasedOnHistoricalEvents=YES
Dutch suggestions:
Epica - Consign to oblivion (Live at the Zenith)
Within Temptation - Ice Queen
Ayreon - The day that the world breaks down
The Gathering - Strange Machines
Focus - Hocus Pocus (Live 1973)
Not much to add to Troy's comment and your analysis. Spot on. Perhaps that if you have watched the credits to the end you had noticed who sang at the then. She "blow your mind" when singing with Nightwish: Floor, Sabaton drummer Hannes wife. Besides, regarding that sign on the wall behind you (also your reaction to Homefree/Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms) and this song Carl Sagan's famous "Pale Blue Dot" text comes in my mind: "That's here, that's home, that's us .... a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam". Thanks a lot for taking this song and your empathic and indepth analysis.
thank you! :) so special Floor showed up
Yes - pity you didn't bother to listen to her
I got to see them live when they came through several years ago in Texas. I had just gotten into them but clearly the crowd was there for them. The crowd sang along to all of their songs. What a show it was!
Well well well look who finally made it back I love this one this was powerful and the entire thing just grabbed from the begining and kept you till the end. I am sending so much love and all the positivity that I can for you and yours and this great community we have going here. as always you ride or die always here even if sometimes it has to be in spirit for a bit I watched them all and your killing it
thanks so much. welcome back :)
I just wanted to thank you for your reaction. I don't have much to comment on but I just appreciate your thoughtful intelligent approach to these tough subjects
Happy to see this song kept you awake. Thanks for the reaction Rosalie. Greetings from the Netherlands.🇳🇱
Great reaction and welcome to the Sabaton family! I hope to see you again with more Sabaton. You might want to try Soldier of Heaven or Bismarck. A live concert would also be great like Great War in Prague or 40 to1 in Poland.
Please watch Sabaton's other song called en livstid i krig, it's sang in Swedish language so please turn subtitles on!
Great analysis. Sabatons always great, part history lesson, part metal and they often have very elaborate videos. If you want more from them try either the live version of "En livstid i krig" from Gothenburg (it's in swedish, but there are english subtitles that translate the lyrics) for a fantastic live version, or "To Hell and Back" or "Bismark" for a more "metal" sound. This has replaced Fairytale of New york as my favourite "Christmas Song" :).
Seconding En livstid i krig from Gothenburg.
Choir of 16000 people with undertone of "it could have been me".
Operatic on the End was sign by Floor Jensen, and she is also Married to Drummer from Sabaton.
Sabaton is a metal band but focus on historic thema.
#Sabaton are one of the greatest #storyteller bands out there! I thoroughly enjoy their work.
a interesting thing, they keep turning the carol around a few times, from mournful to happy and back, it's really noticable in the end
Joakim has never taken voice lessons - his voice is so unique
all you need to know to understand their song titles is HISTORICAL WARFARE ... amazing music and a history lesson all at once
Great reaction on this Swedish band. Thank you!
Fan Fackt Was haben Sabaton mit Nightwish zu tun. Drummer Hannes hat die Sängerin Von Nightwish Floor Jansen . 2016 geheiratet .
This is one powerful song, in all possible ways. Thanks for a great and insightful reaction.
sorry, that you stopped the outro. With Floor. We like it very much. A great outro to a great song.
Don't know if you know - the singer is the main composer, orchestrator and the boss in the studio. He writes the lyrics together with the bassist. They're the last two founding members.
And yes - the singing voice is badass. Totally.
The Credits are amazing with these videos, they even give credit to truckers and such, quite a massive production, and the song and video hits you in the feels over and over.
Love this group and the historical telling songs, please check out Bismark.
Thumbs down just for skipping the end! Never do that again! It's MUSIC. That's the reason we are here: we, you! As for the rest, great reaction!
Thanks for your views. This song kind of helped me start belive again (Sabaton are s0o great) , and at the same time made my thoughts of "our leaders" became as before.
Try listening to Tommy Johansson. He’s one of the guitarists for Sabaton. He has a PHENOMENAL voice!!!!!
Did you know that the cross that appears at the end of the video recreates one that is today in Ypres (Belgium) which was placed in 1999 by two descendants of World War I combatants who participated in the Christmas Truce?
Greetings from Caracas-Venezuela, extraordinary video-commentary. Merry Christmas
If you like this you need and realy cant miss Sabaton live in Gothenburg.. with song livstid i krig! A life time in war! Cant explain but its magic! Best regards from sweden
Joakim sings the seasoned warrior. The soprano in the end credits is the wife of the Sabaton drummer. Her name is Floor Jansen. She is an excellent member of Nightwish. Lest we forget...
Actually saw their concert in person back in October in Maryland they played this song and I lost my mind and yes they are a swedish historical rock band
Your soulfull spirit and wonderful sensivity beauty of reacting with feelings beyond, is overwhelming pure exstatic , and yes. I cry.....
Thanks from sweden on your reaction on Sabaton 😍
the guy injured by the grenade is Floor' husband.
She is the female singer at the end of the song
Thanks so much for covering this song....the SABATON rabbit hole is deep, as you will find out! 👍💖
Love that you mention Nightwish. ikd if it already been pointed out in the comment section but Floor Jensen from Nightwish did the end credit vocals for this
Yesss! I'm so happy you know about these modern day bards!
SHE DOES IT 😍😍😍😍🥰 u r the best one rosalie, am thrilled to see ur reaction!
This was lots of fun! Enjoy
@@rosalieelliottofficial Bin froh, dass du es genossen hast :) darf ich noch was vorschlagen? Within Temptation - And We Run ft. Xzibit th-cam.com/video/awvqIi427_A/w-d-xo.html und / oder Within Temptation - The Howling th-cam.com/video/aa5BUDKgzRQ/w-d-xo.html würde mich freuen da Deine Reation zu sehen. 😁
1000 listens, same tears from entry to end of credits, man's highest achievment followed by his lowest
sabaton is eine Metall Band aus Schweden . Alle ihre Songs haben einen Historischen Hintergrund und sind Alle so passiert . So auch der Chrismas Truce. An Weihnachten 1914 an der West Front WW1 in Frankreich zwischen der Britischen und Deutschen Armee . Fakt
SABATON HABEN EINEN eigenen History Chanal auf TH-cam. Sie erzählen die vergessen Storys der Soldaten die dabei waren . Sie geben ihnen eine stimme. . Mein Lieblings Song von sabaton is En Livstid i Krig live time of War. . Die live Version fon der great Tour. LIVE IN GÖTEBORG Schweden. Dann kannst du auch hören wenn die Fans
Mirt sabaton singen .
When you described the song as a steak you have to take in smaller chunks, you were spot on; This is a dense piece of artistry with so many layers and nuances to it, and it has such a strong message as well.
Loved the reaction, definitely sticking around for more :)
Sabaton is the best way to learn history
The cross in the video is actually a reference to a real cross erected in 1999 in France as a memorial to the Christmas Truce that also says "Lest we forget" on it.
thank you for that information :)
So die Finalen Notes . singt Floor Jansen .
This was a brand new way to react , to music. So many doing the same thing , but ...great work. Would you maybe think of doing King Diamond? I think you get the whole picture.
