ANAHATA - Christmas Truce [SABATON Cover]

[@AnahataOfficial]

LEST WE FORGET to play this instead of Christmas carols this year 🤗🤗🤗 WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR NEXT, BRETHREN? 🤘🤘🤘 PS: Mariah Carey will probably dislike this comment 😀😀😀

[@fandemusique4693]

What i would love to see being done would be Attero Dominatus. This song must be done. Or killing ground.

[@AnahataOfficial]

@@fandemusique4693 Those are BOTH great ideas! NOTED 🖤

[@AuraKnight-kn1ux]

Hi there I’ve got some ideas for ya Heats on Fire from HammerFall HootsForce from Gloryhammer Step Closer from LinkinPark My Way from Lintbisket But I’ll be happy with anything you sing Miss Anahata 🙂🙂🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤. Kind Regards AuraKnight 🖤🖤

[@NinjaNitrat]

I would love to hear Ancient Bards - Titanism

[@ronaldfrechette2045]

The Warrior by Scandal would be epic! As would Tonight We Ride by Unleash the Archers.

"It never happened again, any war, anywhere. But for one day, one Christmas, a very long time ago, everyone just put down their weapons and started to sing. Everybody just stopped. Everyone... was just kind." - Peter Capaldi, Doctor Who, 2017

[@NyanGamerPL]

For some reason, this masterpiece sung by a woman gave me the vibe of Valkyries or Angels calling the fallen home. And I absolutely refuse to change this perspective of that song now. Amazing cover!

[@AnahataOfficial]

A mug of mead in your honour, brother! 🖤🍻🖤

[@ditzfough]

Woman?..... You mean Goddess. She is no mere mortal. \m/

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f]

I cannot listen enough to Sabaton's version, now i can add this version to listen too, I would love to see it make the charts worldwide, in memory of all those lost souls from The War to End All Wars

[@DarkMaster351]

let me correct you: "The war to end all wars" *

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f]

@@DarkMaster351 Haha Thank You, I Cannot even blame autocorrect on that one, Edited now

[@memyselfandi432]

It is honestly so hard to do justice to such a beautiful moment in world history, and both you and Sabaton have done such an amazing job of it. At the end of 1914, after months and months hard, brutal fighting, the frontline soldiers decided to simply lay down their weapons and celebrate the birth of a man who went about his life preaching kindness and compassion. No wonder Sabaton literally took years to achieve a song they were satisfied with!

[@ismaeljimenez6562]

The war could've ended right then and there for the western front of the commanders listened to their men

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

I think that this song is going to go a long way. Thank you. I think Christmas came early this year.

[@AnahataOfficial]

It was an honour to do this, dear Evert - we thank you 🖤

[@redlantern6669]

a time that reminds us that war is still fought by PEOPLE

[@Dustinanderson1]

Fantastic cover and beautiful as always! Thank you Anahata!

[@AnahataOfficial]

We thank you for being here, dear Dustin, and for your wonderful words! 🖤

[@nalthael2078]

Wow... That's very nice ! I love how your voice adds a quiet and peaceful meaning to this song *-* Greetings from a French fan 😁

[@AnahataOfficial]

Much love from Transylvania to a French brother 🖤

[@concretealchemist]

Well done. Love this song, your rendition was really well done. Thank you.

[@maxwelljacobs2715]

I never clicked a notification so fast

[@AnahataOfficial]

Sonic the Hedgehog now has some proper competition 😀 Thank you, brother 🖤

[@nicoferguson1215]

Man, the goosebumps are real... Thanks for this cover!

[@vincenzolugli1074]

I was really moved by this video. One of your best cover. Anahata, you're the best!!

[@AnahataOfficial]

Thank you, dear Vincenzo! It is so rewarding to see people cherishing our rendition - it makes all the work worthwhile. Hugs to you from Transylvania! 🖤🤗🖤

[@vincenzolugli1074]

@@AnahataOfficial All your works are worthwhile!! And i know what i say, 'cause I have been following you for at least 3 years. Greeting from Italy and.. Rock on guys 🤟.

[@Trouble1354]

Yes, it is one of Anahata's best covers. The ones that *might* be slightly better (how can you improve perfection?) are their first (Elan, Nightwish) and Yggdrasil (Brothers of Meta) which was so much better than the original (which is was also pretty good by itself) that the lawyers made them remove it. Shakespeare was right. Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2 (yes, I know, William was conflicted about it).

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

This was beautifully done! Excellent job! 🤘🏻🎄

[@Kanefan701]

Amazing! once more you've shown your amazing talent as a singer.

[@phillee2814]

Great cover, and great descriptive text with the use of old photographs of the actual truce. You add a haunting aspect to Sabaton's awesome song, although you can't manage the depth of the male voices emulating those soldiers at the front as Sabaton do (or what must have been a huge budget for their amazing video). I was a little disappointed that you didn't finish with Floor's amazing wordless solo ending though. I know you can if you reach for it. So something added, and something lost - I declare a tie! And that is no mean achievement for you. The generals were furious, as once the truce had happened, the soldiers could not be forced to shoot at their newfound friends, and whole divisions had to be rotated away from the front lines and relocated because they were just firing over the heads of the "enemy" or at their sandbag defences instead of at them. And it is hard to discipline soldiers who are firing in the right direction but missing. It would not have even happened if the war had not ground to a halt and near stalemate, with opposing sides within earshot and each pinning the other - so close that they could recognise each other by voice, even if it took the truce to connect face and voice. And it was spontaneous, breaking out in a number of sectors and spreading out. A great moment amid the horror of the war.

[@snakes3425]

One wonders when looking at photos of the truce how many of those men who were there on Christmas 1914 lived to be reunited with those who they shared that Christmas

[@constableconstable2563]

One thing the Christmas Truce shows is that there is always light in the darkness.

[@zarkopetrovic7472]

Amazing! Greetings from Belgrade🖤

[@jamiegregg9211]

awesome cover guys absolutely loved it looking forward for the next song you kickass me sharing this defo on Facebook

[@RandomRoss]

Never happened again not in any war anywhere. But one Christmas a very long time ago everybody just put down there weapons and started to sing. Lest we forget we will remember them. 🏵️

[@alexandersvideopicks8735]

Another awesome cover! That beautiful Lady plays keyboard, too? :-)

[@SpiderMan-gv2gd]

So happy you did it so soon!

[@AnahataOfficial]

Well, we simply could not resist the magnificence of the original. SABATON most certainly outdid themselves with this one. We had A LOT of fun 🖤

[@Trouble1354]

Best song of 2022. By far. Köszönöm so much for covering it! (but you forgot Floor's haunting vocals during the credits)

[@k1ll3rcz27]

Nice, I've been patiently waiting for your cover, just like for Christmas :D

[@brientepiorebetshaidden537]

ooooo yeah, definitely one of the best Sábaton releases this year and also, in the voice of this wonderful duet, the emotion is even greater . Another excellent cover, thanks Anahata :))

[@gianfrancopiralli2849]

Fantastic 🥰🤩👏🏻👍🏻🌹 GRANDE E BELLISSIMA / BRAVISSIMA 💪🏻💯

[@DraganGrazic]

Beautiful cover, well done.

[@toainsully]

Welcome back for Christmas. Can you cover Inmate 4859 by Sabaton next?

[@joonasvilen8759]

Now THIS is the cover I was looking for.

[@paulcrowley8587]

Beautiful, superb video, full of respect for fallen heroes

[@failure6728]

This is incredible! Thank you for this cover… You made my day!🤩⚡️ You’re one of the most underrated artists. Keep doing metal covers and great music! I wish you good luck. LEST WE FORGET

[@riptorcareer6410]

I mean... The original one is already emotional but this cover its absolutly fantastic, the emotions are even more remarkable

[@PHSM147]

Good job!!!

[@fabiandariobosio]

Wonderful, congratulations.

[@l.s.824]

So beautiful 🥺

[@БахаЕнкенов-в5ч]

Браво! Потрясающее исполнение!!! Вы воплощение Европы, мадемуазель!!!

[@benjaminA.stantonpun]

There are many who would say that those who do heavy metal Christmas music are irreverent psychos. In reality, it is the ones who have the nerve to state such words that are the real irreverent psychos.

[@schattenwolf0510]

a fantasticsong and as always a fantastic cover. Love it. Thanks a lot for another song. Until now christmas arrived a second time (first time was, when Sabaton released the Song) this year with your cover.

[@AnahataOfficial]

Thank you, dear Schattenwolf! 🖤 That is exactly how we felt when SANATON released their version. This song is an absolute masterpiece. Props to the guys! 🖤

[@elainecristinaneri7422]

I won't cry, I won't cry... 😢😭🤧 Sorry, but you guys made a point of making this song even more beautiful

[@ericasandberg7286]

Splendid in its simplicity, pure of intent and beautiful in every way. Thank you Anahata and know thatbwe praise you.

[@AnahataOfficial]

Once again, dear Erica, you move us with your words - WE THANK YOU 🖤🖤🖤

[@Aragorn-rq5hz]

I found the perfenct song to play during Christmas dinner, awesome work as always

[@VonSchelzen]

Cada vez que ouço eu me emociono com tamanha perfeição :)

[@zetenyigergo7608]

Good, very good.

[@goldenwarriorrugu2122]

awesome cover guys .. when you hear this a second time i can say that awesome again .. 💪💪

[@matthewle6344]

Please more Sabaton!!! Maybe do Steel Commanders next!

[@weterinar13]

I dare you to try and sing the outro of this song as well. I love your cover, but with the outro, it would be even better.

[@ohhh_hailey]

You are good at singing 😊 Edit: thank you for 2 likes

[@AnahataOfficial]

Thank you, dear Hailey - you are most welcome here 🖤

[@Indoor_Carrot]

What do you think of their new album? You would do a great cover for "Lady of the Dark", I'm sure =)

[@robertwelch3240]

🤗

[@joshuanilsson8508]

You two did it performed well with this one. One of top five of all covers you have done so far. And would be even more epic and legendary? A cover from Van Canto. And to be honest, both of you really need to go to Sabaton Open Air in Falun, Sweden next year. I will buy you two something from the bar right away.

[@AnahataOfficial]

Oh, Van Canto is an old favourite 🖤

[@snakes3425]

If only the truce held

[@PoorMarvoloSawyer]

This was a good cover. I feel if you did it in a higher key it would suit your voice even better!

[@happyness1775]

I have something stuck in my eye. 😭

[@AnahataOfficial]

It's all those ninjas cutting onions! We've always suspected them! 🖤 Jokes aside, thank you for sharing your reaction, dear Rachel. 🖤

[@CatsOverBrats]

Any chance of you covering "Gothic Christmas" by Within Temptation at one point in December?

[@Heartborne7thSeeker]

this is one of those very very rare times where a cover is better than the original song.I am a massive Sabaton fan but for some reason this song is simply better when song by a female singer and I 100% prefer this cover over the original.I must say that I have become a great fan of ANAHATA and I hope she wil do more Sabaton covers,especially Aces in Exile,Back in control,Soldier of heaven and steel commanders would be great.Also covers of King Diamond songs would be very interesting to hear with ANAHATA,like Welcome Home,The family ghost,The candle,Into the Convent,Come to the sabbath and Dressed in white,could be awesome.I would also love to hear ANAHATA do a cover of Dimmu Borgir's,In death's embrace,Mourning palace andStormblåst.

[@AuraKnight-kn1ux]

I love this song it might be early for Xmas songs but this I don’t mind to much cause it’s head banging Badass at its finest thank you Miss Anahata for excellent early Xmas Gift. Now u better be on your best behavior for Santa or you may get a lump of coal. Just joking 🙃 I hope you guys have a lovely Xmas 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤. Kind Regards AuraKnight 🙂🙂.

[@phillee2814]

I think the release date is well balanced for both Remembrance (armistice) day and Christmas.

[@xXlNesTlXx]

Yes sir, you are singing while you are reading this

Coperta grozavă pentru Crăciunul Trece

[@Gyurix]

This is one of my favorite Sabaton songs and you made an excellent cover for it :) I wish you would also make a cover for Sabaton - Soldier of Heaven. Are you planning to do that or is it in progress currently?

[@user-squad404]

I hope they will stop firing when Christmas day has come and I hope the war is end in soon... in war not have a loser or winner it only have a suffer, the death, a loosing, wailing form a childs, people and widow

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Marvelous cover. Gorgeous vocals and a nice arrangement t, well done!
