SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour) | METTAL MAFFIA | REACTION | LVT AND MAGZ

[@TheNightOwl11683]

This is quite possibly one of their most powerful songs, especially in Sweden. As a former soldier myself, plus with several cousins & a few long time friends in the military, this song hits home hard for me & it's damn near impossible to not tear up (honestly, Sabaton has that effect on me). Even today, there are men & women in the military that have grown up hearing about & seeing war all their lives, although the difference is that it isn't at their doorstep like it was 400 years ago in Europe. It's no surprise that their Carolus Rex album went double platinum, as it is one of their best albums. To think that the Swedish version of the album was basically a bonus, yet it was the main reason most people bought it. The last time I saw Sabaton live in Houston, even that crowd of Texans wanted to hear some of their songs in Swedish (they ended up singing Got Min Uns in Swedish). Every time I have seen Sabaton live, I have never left disappointed.

Synd att vi inte har "Veterans day" i Sverige. Det är många (inklusive min bästa vän) som riskerat sina liv för att upprätthålla fred i oroliga områden. Tycker det är synd att det nästan aldrig pratas om dessa hältar. Märkte på min vän att det tärde på honom och vi pratade om sakerna han varit med om utan att vara alltför specifik. Ville bara säga att jag uppskattar och respekterar alla som utfört exempelvis utlandstjänst. Och varenda gång jag hör den här sången känner jag en överväldigande tacksamhet för allt ni soldater gjort för Sverige. För Sverige, för världen, för medmänsklighet, för ära. Ni är vad jag försökar att bli. Tack ♥

A lot of soldiers brought their families with them. They made up the rear of the army. So you could be born close to the battlefield, grow up in the rear until you were old enough to join the army. And you might be buried in a mass grave and have the blessings read by the same priest that baptized you. That's a life time of war. Make sure to see the Swedish version of Sabaton History.

[@Ultramares]

What a horrific story. To think you could bring up your own son to only suffer the same fate as you. Omg I can't even imagine.

[@ninocuric5290]

"Price of a mile" is another sobering and deep song from Sabaton

[@FrogmanAnime]

The band was playing in Sweden to live Swedish audience it’s only natural they would sing one of their greatest anthem like songs they have on their Carol is Rex album; this is one very powerful song especially to the Swedish people and, even the German people will sing along to it. However some interesting news atthe Sabaton KZbin channel; they have announced that in a couple of days, they will be entering the recording studio and they will be recording the latest and newest album so we all have something to look forward to in 2021. Personally I can’t wait

Yeeesss! Finally! I've seen Sabaton I don't know how many times but I was there, in this crowd, for this show and it is the best performance I've ever seen them do. It was almost deafening to hear everyone sing along, throughout the whole song, just incredible! Great reaction, keep it up!

[@Razzlion]

Agreed, my entire row sang as we cried

[@REVAN2338]

That deep emotional connection is really the core of Sabaton. They can make you cry, push your self harder, inspire and depress.

[@jmetallover]

One of the most gut-wrenching songs ever done by Sabaton. It maybe about a 30 year war but as usual they bring the human touch that impacts any war. As a veteran this brought me to tears remembering buddies who died during firefights in Nam, those that never made it home and having to visit their loves just so they could know how they died!! The cost for those who fight is well known but those at home pay a toll and even those innocents caught in the middle of such conflicts pay an even higher toll. How many families did we destroy on both sides of those conflicts. Sabaton never ceases to amaze me how they distill the human experience of those historical events and bring to life the dead history you will never get by reading a book. Sad to think of all the experiences since this 30 year war and those today who are going through the same experiences I did as teen dragging my a$$ from rice paddy to jungle and back again. Plato is right only the dead known the end of war. Great reaction as always guys. Hannes just gut punches here like his wife, Floor does with De Beelden Blijven (A Song for War Child) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2eQZ4GMqMeabLc), honestly 2 of the most gut wrenching songs any one touched by war will ever experience.

[@Mustaschy]

Thank you for reaction to this song! As a Swede I just love the song. All the lyrics and the memory of our history. Looking forward to your next reaction. Happy new year from Sweden!

[@andrewludwig9251]

The first time I ever saw Sabaton live, I was lucky enough to get meet and greet tickets. I asked Chris Rorland how old Tommy was. Chris said why? Does he look young? How old do you think he is? I replied 17? He laughed so hard and said he hears that a lot and that Tommy indeed has a baby face! Hahaha!

Here's my translation that also goes well with the melody. Let me know what you think. I turn around to see my homestead fade away I wish I could have stayed there, just another day Not yet a man, though called to arms to do my part Will I see my home again, I wish with all my heart With kinsmen from my village I went out to war In a world of flames ‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man I give my life, for my motherland But who’s missing me? So see me as them the husband and friend the father and son, who’s never seen again But who mourns over me? Went out to war for Sweden, baptized in blood No gallantry awaits us, dying in the mud In fields where friends has fallen, there’ll be no songs Our fate once more we challenge, and marching on Far away from home (To be baptized and die in war) In a world of flames ‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man I give my life, for my motherland But who’s missing me? So see me as them the husband and friend the father and son, who’s never seen again But who mourns over me? And when my time is finally here Who’ll sing my song? They’re fighting on I hope to die without much fear I fall asleep, and fade away And never wake up ‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man I give my life, for my motherland But who’s missing me? So see me as them the husband and friend the father and son, who’s never seen again But who mourns over me?

[@niklasideros2583]

[@hi14993]

I see you trying not to cry. Wiping away the tears while trying to conceal it. It's ok though, this song is an important reminder of the pain, strife, and struggle of those who endured wars without any assurances of seeing the end of the war, let alone coming home. And those that come home still have to put lives back together, whether theirs or someone else's. It is a ballad that, while having the 30 years war in mind, is dedicated to the memory of all those lost and can extend to who may yet be lost. If that pulls at the heartstrings, weep for the losses and pain that your fellow man has endured for the sake of ideas, security, a better world, their fellow man, and more. Weep and learn to respect those who have fallen and continue their legacies to make a better world. Sadly, it took me almost 24 years to learn that there is no shame in tears wept well, only in tears wept in vain.

[@FlaccidToenail]

If you want more ballad type songs from Sabaton I would highly recommend "Price of a Mile" (Talks about the high cost/waste of life in WW1) or "The Final Solution" (Talks about the Holocaust)

[@frankjuggaloheathen1035]

Also "Long Live the King" (the death and funeral March of King Charles

it is in the hockey arean in Gothenburg called Scandinavium and it gives you goosebumps to her almost 11000 people singing

It's also because "who misses me", can be translated into "what are we fighting for", i believe most wars the soldiers think that, like what am i even doing here?.

[@maxviking3210]

Lots of love for this reaction from a swedish soldier

[@Johnnybanarna]

Fun fact, during the swedish empire every village supplied one soldier. One person from every village was chosen as the representative warrior instead of drafting. The village supplied a home , food,clothes ,weapons ,and other provisions. When the call came these hardened and very well trained warriors defeated vastly superior forces.

[@Pih_TV]

This is a song that cut really deep. Especially for a vet like me whos done two tours in Afghanistan with the Swedish armed forces or anyone who served really. This song is about the 30 year war in Europe. If you think about it, let's say you left a 15 year old boy and against all odds you survived the war, you returned home at the age of 45. Hence it is called a life time of war.

[@videoroom4234]

And the thing that makes it when more sad is that allot of them was under 18. The minimal age for the military was 13!

[@lightdampsweetenough2065]

There are examples of families having all males except those under 15 and those above 40 getting "signed into" the army. The survival rate was at times 3 years in army. This one example i'm thinking of is. A women having her husband, her brothers, her husbands brother all signed into the army leaving her with 2 children on her hip and the grandparents. 15 years later those two children she had was also signed into the army, all of them died except for her brother who came back with one leg and one eye.....

[@lightdampsweetenough2065]

It got so bad in the nobility class that the church of Sweden who were dogmatic lutherans, stopped punishing "hor" for noblewomen (unmarried sex) for years after the war. And there are unofficial examples of women sharing one man.

Back then in Sweden you didn't sign up, you could but most weren't. The Master of the cottage/farm you worked/lived at had and obligation too deliver one or more soldiers for the army ranging on the size of the cottage/farm. Or something like that. It was later replaced by the Conscription that is still used to day in Sweden.

[@GremlinHunter]

Barracks is where one would sleep but that would be more or less a bunker or underground section of the trench network. Could be a barracks or a command bunker (most troops slept in the open and only the NCOs got the cozy bunkers unless they were German)

In relation to the population there were more deaths in the 30 Years War than in the Second World War! Whole stretches of land were depopulated and arable land was uncultivated for years. Famine continued to be part of people's lives for a long time.

The 30 yearwar took place in the 1700. It is probebly the worst war ever. The death toll was between 4 -8 million people. Most of them didn´t die from actual warfare but from starvation or desieses. Check Sabaton´s history channel. The war ended for Sweden´s part whe king Karl XII died at Poltava
