Reaction to SABATON En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg)

[@andrewludwig9251]

This song is about the 30 years war in Europe in the mid 1600's. Some young men were born and died during the same war. Hence "A Lifetime of War".

Sweden and Denmark/Norway had a little side war between 1643 and 1645.

the Thirty Years' War (as well as the war situations in Afghanistan) automatically came to mind, but through the audience choir also the idea that in our latitudes similar songs were probably sung 2000 years ago.

[@kepanoid]

As a Finn, I "had to" learn Swedish at school. Our languages aren't related at all, but we have a complex history between our lands. I'm very happy that I can read Swedish books and understand this song and Swedish films and TV. And they were there for us in 1939, when the eastern bear invaded. Not statewide-officially, but their help was invaluable. I hope we (all) can do the same in the current situation. And a big thank you for your reaction! About the song, and everything else. ☺

I think Sabaton gives better history lessons with music then most teachers

[@CeruleanChurch]

I definitely think they provide a better springboard to look into it more. Especially with their very own history channel

[@HansenSWE]

I understand what you're saying but the pragmatic truth of the matter is this; You have misunderstood the entire purpose why all civilized nations find it necessary to teach their young citizens about history. They teach you about the past in order for you to better understand the present, so that you may become an informed adult that understands the nuances required of a citizen of a democracy. The mandate and curriculum of your history teacher is decided upon by elected officials and ultimately your entire people. Sabaton, while being the greatest band in the world, simply wants you to masturbate to someone else's past glory. So be nice to your teacher. They are not rivals in the slightest.

[@MichaelB2L]

God damn right!

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

And way worse than any good teacher.

[@BioCrushed]

I think their way of teaching using music is just better. Using media or being actually interested in what you are trying to teach to others makes it easier for people to hang onto what they are learning.

Sabaton is overall a FANTASTIC live band, easily in my top 3 no doubt! And yes, Sabatons "thing" is to sing about military history, and has been for some time, some of their very early material has other themes but the majority is about military history

Hi Sabina, once again a great reaction. As others have already said, they do sing about historical events or persons during various wars. The Great War was the name of their tour (referring to WW I) during which this was recorded. They also have a Sabaton History channel on YT where they have correlated videos to many of their songs in which they explain the historical event that the song describes.

All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal. A few prophetic words that sum up the futility of current events. It’s not difficult to be moved by current events. I take a great amount of pleasure when I see the selfless acts that others perform in order to bring some relief to the victims of one persons crass stupidity and thirst for power. I’ve really started to enjoy Sabatons music. Okay, so it generally has a war theme. However, they don’t judge…they let the listening audience do that. A powerful song clearly enjoyed by the audience. I loved it. It’s only a pity that it evokes a background of sadness given current events. A brave posting Sabina. But, a necessary one. I thank you for that. I’ve also loved the comments that people have so far made on the posting…it’s good to see that we have people with a moral and compassionate compass. One again Sabina, you have used great judgement in posting this track…a refreshing change to many other reaction channels that jump on the reaction bandwagon without any obvious care for what they post.

This song works for literally any war but Sabaton is specifically singing about the 30 years war in this song which was in the 16th century when Sweden was involved in a big war that cost us an extreme amount of lives. If you wanna learn more about the history Sabaton has a history channel where they make a video for each song explaining the history behind it. Since this is a Swedish song I’ll link the history video for this song which is in Swedish. Since you are a Dane I assume you understand or if not you can put on subtitles or watch the English version of the song called a Lifetime of war and the history video for that version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIWVd3-Eq9-ihrM
