It's funny.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

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.

[@Fordmister]

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

[@boe_face9047]

Just saw them a little over a week ago and they absolutely don't disappoint in their live shows!

[@frankpuncekar5051]

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!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Templarofsteel88]

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.

[@jonasmandersson]

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 KZbin where someone has tried to make a more accurate translation.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

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.

[@phoenix9448]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPWZHpnhdusnK8 is their most played song for a reason.

[@Hank_E]

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.

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!

[@RandallMorris222]

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.

[@alantidwell7889]

Randall, I believe they are generally put into the "power metal" category. Personally, I put them into the "good music" category.

[@birgersandman2662]

They call themselves a heavy metal band, so i guess they are a heavy metal band.

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?

[@Crazael]

The Yarnhub video is a great way to listen to the song. And don't skip the end!

[@petrini9585]

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.

[@nightpheonix76]

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!

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".

[@Mischnikvideos]

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.

[@MariusLapugean]

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.

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" :).

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.

[@ghstdnsr]

Love this group and the historical telling songs, please check out Bismark.

[@ralph1270]

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.

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.

[@marciusnhasty]

If Artist='Sabaton' then BasedOnHistoricalEvents=YES

[@henrikl4244]

You should check Tommy Johansson, the guitarist in Sabaton. He have alot of video on KZbin when he play and sing cover's. From Disney songs to Elton John and Queen.

[@renevliex557]

Happy to see this song kept you awake. Thanks for the reaction Rosalie. Greetings from the Netherlands.🇳🇱

[@patrik-4163]

Please watch Sabaton's other song called en livstid i krig, it's sang in Swedish language so please turn subtitles on!

[@anderslarsson1289]

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.

[@jemrockton]

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.

[@astral7080]

Your soulfull spirit and wonderful sensivity beauty of reacting with feelings beyond, is overwhelming pure exstatic , and yes. I cry.....

[@ejllamobeolan5025]

the guy injured by the grenade is Floor' husband. She is the female singer at the end of the song

[@fnglert]

Oo can't wait for this one. Hopefully she listens to the whole thing through~ And maybe she'll even recognize the special guest.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

I needed some help, but it was epic :)

[@sandyegun3780]

@@rosalieelliottofficial Why did you skip over the ending. That was Floor singing spectacularly.

[@thedarcbird]

@@rosalieelliottofficial I trust you are going to listen to it again, only this time all the way through

[@mathias577]

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

[@jennienoppers2499]

Thank you! after i discovered Floor Jansen and Nightwish Sabaton came along! Next time you watch this beautiful movie you will be aware to listen to the beautiful outro!🤪🤪❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@scottgerrels116]

Joakim has never taken voice lessons - his voice is so unique

[@krisdavis3888]

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

[@fredriknilsson6042]

Sabaton has great videos that blow your mind. But be sure to watch until the end so you dont miss something to the story. No bullets fly animated STORY video. Lovely story

[@Crazael]

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.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

thank you for that information :)

[@stefansveman4658]

You must check out En livstid i krig live from Gothenburg! Great song and powerful lyrics!

[@chesterzimmerman7752]

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

[@stanleyarmstrong2898]

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...

[@jimilgenfitz6998]

Thanks so much for covering this song....the SABATON rabbit hole is deep, as you will find out! 👍💖

[@artohumppi1855]

Sabaton is the best way to learn history

[@jamesstaplesv]

1000 listens, same tears from entry to end of credits, man's highest achievment followed by his lowest

[@lenaengell8528]

Great reaction on this Swedish band. Thank you!

[@dorlonelliott9368]

10+ albums of Sabatonic Metal to go - History taught with Metal. Check out the Sabaton History Channel for expansion of the stories behind the music.

[@pathadley9945]

Try listening to Tommy Johansson. He’s one of the guitarists for Sabaton. He has a PHENOMENAL voice!!!!!

[@dandyprime5338]

I know this video is a bit old now and you may already know this, but a sabaton is just the fancy name for the armor that medieval knights wore around their feet. So it's just pronounced like this phonetically: SA-buh-taun Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

[@remoteobba]

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
