I understand that as a Finn you become proud and feel patriotism, you have every right to do that. What brave heroes who defended your country. Skål brördrar och systrar, hälsningar från Sverige.

[@jojohammi3992]

Man I know some Finnish history but this is my first time really hearing the language as an American and it sounds so amazing 😁

[@koen2715]

I highly recommend reacting to “Soldier of Three Armies” from Sabaton, it is about Lauri Törni from Finland. An amazing song and great story and person to learn more about

[@carls8286]

One of my favorites! Great song!

[@1320crusier]

I will have to visit him in Arlington sometime soon. Hell of a warrior.

[@Andy_from_de]

I said it last time and I say it again - you need to listen to Sabaton performing in Swedish "En livstid i krig" - live in Gothenburg.

[@annavaskelainen]

I noted it then and so I do now! xx

[@Andy_from_de]

@@annavaskelainen okay. Then my work here is done, and I will relax, waiting for it to happen. 😀

[@Cartis88]

Next stop: White Death if you wanna continue on the Finland related songs. Great analysis as per usual! Especially the machine gun reference haha.

[@annavaskelainen]

I'm so down with this suggestion and I see it has gotten a lot of votes already! xx

[@marcuszaja6589]

There's also a great finnish movie called "Talvisota" from 1986!

[@Revament]

Its super fun to see your reactions to Sabaton! Your knowledge and love for music makes it a lot more interesting. I can suggest Sabaton - Soldier of 3 armies (Another Finland related song) or Sabaton - Bismarck. Greetings from Sweden.

[@annavaskelainen]

Thank you so much for this comment! 🥰

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

Talvisota, it happened from December 1939 till March 1940, we hardly learn from history, how sad we are in the middle of it still today.

[@traviscotrel438]

Great reaction to an important group. They are very unique in the way they tell the story and yet make a strong rock song.

[@yngviifrey]

Hail to all heros who's defending their country. They'll not be forgotten like Simo Hayha. Greetings from Turkey also welcome to Nato.

[@bradt8019]

This will be my first time hearing, I know a lot about Finnish history, but I don't know what to expect. 😏👍🇫🇮

Don't know if I like this song, especially the lyrics. Hearing this song feels like...there's no such thing for the pursuit of happiness but seeing you...there's a discovery of joy.

[@lylemiller345]

I love your responses! I know practically nothing about music, but your comments make me understand part of why the music is so moving and energic. thank you!

[@scottgerrels116]

If you want hold back tears, I suggest 1916 Sabaton. Another song that is really entertaining is "No Bullets Fly." Do the Animated version and it really tells an amazing tale that meshes into a wonderful song.

[@RickINFJ]

🙂 It's snowing here too. ❄️ Joakim sings like a warrior. So nice to see you smiling and basking in the pride of Finland. 🇫🇮 Sabaton is my history professor. I always love your analysis Anna. You disect the entire song, not just the vocals. 🤘

[@jpdunn9020]

This is inspiring music and a true tribute to the heroes of 1940! And as always I love your reactions and videos. Please stay safe and warm.

[@christianmeyer6724]

Story-tellers they are and with great feeling for adequate composition details. Musicianship is great and Joakim's voice fits perfectly to the song(s) - IMO. Also I think he could be a great guy for an Anna-Interview, guess would be most interesting and chemistry will fit as well (remember Yannis). Kiitos Anna 👋🤘👍🙏

[@fysy9989]

I really like this song because it is so energetic and straight forward

[@dougel4709]

I wanted to be here for the premier but I miss it. 😢 This was still a joy watching 'with' you even though I wasn't there live. I got chills a couple times watching you get all proud and patriotic!! I knew this would be a good one!! I pray all is going well with you. ...and with Bala too!! 🤍💙

[@PetterVessel]

This song, along side with Panzerkampf, Ghost Division and The Price of a Mile, are my album favorites.

Looking forward to your reaction about this song!

This is first song I heard from Sabaton and I love the power of it but I would like to recommend next Sabaton song for you ´no bullets fly´ and definitely animated story version

Hi Anna - Great reaction. I could see in your eyes that this hit your Finnish homeland heart. I really hope you and your pup is feeling better now?

[@annavaskelainen]

Things are looking better yes!

[@alancarter41]

Excellent reaction and analysis. And as always, a complete history lesson with a great metal song. Sabaton certainly has the ability to hit all the emotional buttons, making you enormously proud of a country that is not yours. Thoroughly enjoyed that, good luck with the blizzard (ours was two days ago). Stay safe, stay warm, keep rocking.

[@annavaskelainen]

Thanks Alan! We got a lot of snow but it is starting to look like the sun is slooowly melting it all away even though it is not yet looking like spring here at all! 😂😂

Nice video again! 🥰 I hope you are doing well!

[@jonassundell9366]

Finlands sak är vår! Still. I could not ask for a better neighbour. Good sturdy, honest and resiliant people! The swedish military fetched 2 of my kin (15+16y.o) 1939 as they tried to run on the ice over bottnia to join the fight. Their dad hit their bottoms with a whip when they came home. Im 60, walk with crotches now, so I dont think I take the icy way. But! Tack Anna, jag tycker så mycket om dina reaktioner. Allt gott till dig! Kind regards Jonas Gothenburg Sweden.

[@LordOfSweden]

We love the fins in Sweden. Dear neighbour. I would def go to war for Finland. Cute girl. Finnish is a cool language man. It's very different to Scandinanian languages, but I like the sound of it. Peeeece, from Östergötland.

I love the Raskasta Joulua song "1939", too. It's also about the Winter War, from the perspective of a Finnish soldier writing home to his family. It's really touching, especially live. 🇫🇮💙🤍

He stepped on a bouncing mine that blew his leg away at the end of the war, but he survived and was decorated for his courage and for losing his leg ofc. It doesn't matter how many books or documnentaries youi read and watch, when you hear the stories from the front at the Mannerheim-linja! How they would take them out with the Motti tactic.

[@TheWorldsEnd66]

I can’t imagine the demands placed on that generation. Interesting the bass not only illustrated in the mind the march forward, it also reflected the sounds of heavy artillery, whilst the snare seemed small gunfire. Really interesting. I like the breakdown, the vocals too reflected determination.

I arrived here after seeing a reaction to "Invincible" by Floor, a song about PTSD, made by a Russian NW fan, a man with a lot of common sense. He blocked the comments, understandable... I saw the link to your reaction, and it seemed appropriate to continue here. That's right, we tend to forget that our freedom had a price in human lives. I'm glad I visited you, because that's how I found out that the blizzard makes your nose red and your eyes bright :) 🖤

Moi Anna! Annan vain yhden suosituksen. Jos et ole kuullut skolantilaisesta laulajasta nimeltä MAGGIE BELL ,niin todellakin suosittelen, uniikki ääni. Liian vähän tunnettu, ne jotka tuntevat tykkäävät kuin hullu puurosta. Hän taisi aloittaa joskus 60-70- lukujen vaihteessa? Stone the Crows - yhtyeessä, (eläinrääkkäystä), jatkoi soolona. MAGGIE BELL - WISHING WELL , bell-well rimmaa hyvin (bica kanavalla aika hyvä vinyylisoundi). Taitaa olla Free yhtyeen kappale alkujaan. En kinu reaktiota, en pane toki vastaankaan. Bandikin kjulostaa hyvältä, Jimmy Page on guitar.

It's always wonderful to see you getting lost in a piece of music, Anna. In this case, the reason for you getting into the music is a key period in Finland's history. I imagine that all but the youngest Finns in 1939 would remember the fight to be free of Imperial Russia.
