Two Girls React to - SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Music Video)

[@brucenelson4332]

In case you were'nt aware, this storyline is based on an actual event during WW1 when British and Germans forces stopped fighting for a few hours on Christmas day and met in no mans land to play soccer and sing Christmas songs together before going back to their own lines and begin fighting each other again.

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Behind each song , a story.

[@davidbush1852]

This just shows that no matter how much we hate each other or different we are, we still can find time to have peace with each other even if not for a long time and that why this story is so beautiful and important.

[@Denozo88]

@@davidbush1852 The men in some parts had gotten along so well they had to be forced a gun point to fight again.

[@jespermeisel9799]

yes i knew this too

[@brucenelson4332]

@Solar Warden I said that for information to these 2 young girls but haters gotta hate right

[@jean-francoispirenne6518]

The cross is a copy of the one erected in the city of Ypres to commemorate the 1914 XMas truce on the western front. Also, if you happen to visit Liverpool, a small monument represents a british and a german soldier shaking hands above a soccer ball, as a remembrance of the XMas truce.

[@DawidC.909]

Great reaction. There are so many epic things about this song: 1. Band members plays soldiers of opposite armies 2. Joakim plays piano 3. "Carol of the Bells" 4. Great topic and great lirics 5. Guitar solo on acoustic Guitar 6. Pär visiting the cross 7. Floor Jansen singing in outro (8. Floor is Hannes' wife - Hannes is the blonde guy who were hurt by granade in the beginning)

[@metalcrusader6666]

Could've said Drummer for Hannes..

[@liys540]

And Tommy Johansson

[@DawidC.909]

@@liys540 yes. All in point 5 is about him

[@glstka5710]

The singing on the end credits will really "Floor" ya.

[@BuckeyeIn541]

get chills every time i hear this song...

[@Flokarl1]

Have a great time at the Sabaton concert ladies!!! Pls react to some more Sabaton songs before/after the concert please !...Perhaps even sharing with us your favourite songs at the concert

[@Hammarspiken]

Hi Reactors 👍🏼 Cool that u 2 liked this ❤️ the singer in the last opererett at the end text was FLOOR JANSEN from Nightwish she is married with Hannes the drummer in SABATON..THX for a wonderful reaction on (Christmas truce) And Mia Woow you are growing up to a realy clever lady 👍🏼👏👏 i think your friend ship is very important for you 2 i hope you are friends forever ❤️👍🏼❤️ i hope SABATON sing the song (En livstid i krig) in swedish language that is a Heart breaking song🤘🙏🖤 in English (A lifetime at war)

[@cosmicdebris5260]

We too often forget we are brothers and sisters. We are all part of the whole of Humanity. What harms one is hurts all! Peace and Love to all!🌿💗 Yee!

[@redguern]

Great reaction girls. Your faces said everything about this true story. A little tip: never stop a Sabaton video, or indeed any metal groups videos before the very end as you may miss something. Indeed you missed Floor Jansen singing the full outro. Enjoy the concert - I'm jealous! Are Epica performing as well? If so I'm very jealous.

[@johnellis6615]

Queen Juliet and princess Mia are back

[@SimonJM]

Bittersweet was the first thought I had before this started. The dichotomy between the music and the underlying situation - trench warfare, etc., makes this a very powerful song.

[@jimkenpig]

were they singing ?? were having christmas with the wrenches ?? :P

[@SimonJM]

@@jimkenpig Of course, bots have christmas too! :)

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

In this already incredible song Floor Jansen, 6Ft Valkyrie Goddess of Metal, is a cherry on a cake and makes it epic with her operatic touch at the end.

[@johngillespie3409]

I might be going to the show in Chicago. There's a movie called Joyeux Noel about this that is awesome. 40 to 1 live at Woodstock Poland where they played in front of 600,000 people would be a good one.🤘

[@johnellis6615]

YEE Girls YEE Nation. This actually happened at Christmas my uncle Clarence was in the first world war he told the story to me. And the Germans the British and the Americans all sang the same Christmas songs.

[@Roller4x4]

So you are going to see Sabaton AND Epica!!! Nice

[@elvwood]

This makes me cry every time. In the 100 years after the "War to End All Wars" finished, my country sent troops to fight abroad every single year, so Pär carving 2021 on the cross hit me hard. "Lest we forget" comes from Kipling's poem _Recessional_ which was written for Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, but unlike others it was not a celebration of Empire but a warning.

[@terrywellner1497]

I am so jealous sabaton is one of my favs saw them 3 times and they are the best

[@letheas6175]

Ah shit I got emotional again at the last part, why is that so strong and sad? The moment when the explosions go off again, it's just. Damn man. What a strong story and what an amazing song this is

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Great song and very powerful message! True story too from the frontlines of ww1 when the two rival enemies got together to celebrate Christmas and peace for onlist a few hours or a day! Great reaction young ladies! Enjoy the concert!👋😎👍👉♥️🙏

[@seanjames5799]

Sabaton is an amazing band. Floor Jansen is married to the lead singer of Sabaton. How are you young ladies doing today? Trans-Siberian Orchestra is another band who has mastered the art of telling a story in their music.

[@Jedi_Hush]

Floor is married to the Drummer of Sabaton. Not the lead singer.

[@seanjames5799]

@@Jedi_Hush , that's right. Thanks for the correction. 🤘🤘

[@Azraeltheangelofdeath]

I'm pretty sure the cross is supposed to be a reference to the khaki chums memorial in ypres "1914 The Khaki Chums Christmas Truce 1999 85 years Lest we forget"

[@hummelchen6773]

I am impressed that you two young girls give such a sophisticated reaction to this video. 🙂

[@spyder87]

Powerful song, great reaction 🤘

[@jccasts]

I think Paul McCartney has a song like this back in the 80' was a cool song at the time, I was a small kid when I watched on tv. Sabaton christmas truce is epic song, I've been in sabaton concerts since they played in NYC. For the fist time. Epic performances. I recall Nightwish/Sabaton/Delain tour as one of the best US. Tours of this bands, now Epica add to the bill... Awesome reaction! Have blast at Sabaton concert🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@davidmazzell2332]

You girls do a great job. Ya'll go to great gigs so you know whats up.

[@NyeGuy-yv2dv]

Metal girls, right on. Have fun.

[@seetaami5810]

There's this film called Joyeux Noël (2005) telling the story of this magical night of Christmas Truce. One of the most touching moments for me is when a cat from a nearby farm mingles with the soldiers, and it soon becomes clear that the same cat has been equally frequent visitor on both sides for weeks or months. The cat had gotten love and snacks from the Germans, the French and the Scotch, but was, of course, known by different name in all those trenches. I still keep thinking how much comfort and so much needed therapeutic warmth did this simple feline manage to provide to all the very young soldiers of both sides that had to die before that senseless conflict was over? Imho, that film is a tear jerk material for perfectly good reasons.

[@DawidC.909]

If you want to another emotional rollercoster you must react "No bullets fly"

[@najroe]

animated story videos of no bullets fly and nightwitches are both great, for hhe girls I think Nightwitches will be eye-opening and inspiring

[@Northman-from-the-North]

Every song from Sabaton are based on true events.

[@najroe]

not every song but most, some of the earlier are not history, but most are

[@Pantherking916]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

[@malkystoddart2562]

I have absolutely no doubt that when they sing this at Wembley I'll be in tears...

[@TheHellHeadbanger]

Sabaton is going to play on October 15 2024 in Los Angeles. Dana's Faith, I recommend reacting to Screaming Eagles by Sabaton if you want to witness WW2 Christmas special.

[@berndrebhahn9862]

Grandgrandpa 71 here: Girls,you make my Day. Many people are stupid and much older. Great Job. Grandgrandpa love you.❤️

[@tomas5255]

LOVE the airpiano playing on the table. Can't help yourself can you? ;-)

[@carlsjoberg4865]

the important is this actully happend in real life war. 2 leaders hate eachother and start to war, but the humanity is suffering because of it. As we can learn from this song is everyone the same and everyone wan´ts peace and love

[@liys540]

Speaking of sabaton , Tommy Johansson's ( blonde lead guitar of sabaton) , band . Majestica. Check out the Christmas carol . You would love it . Joy of Christmas, ghost of Christmas past, ghost of Marley , glory of Christmas , a Christmas to come

[@dorlonelliott9368]

It took them 6 years to get this one right - according to an interview with Joakim.

[@markdaube507]

There is so much to explore in the world of SABATON. They are fans of war history and stories of bravery and sacrifice that most of us have never heard. Their albums focus on an era or theme of history, and each song has a true story behind it. I know you two will dig the story of The 'Night Witches', the first all female combat squadron of Russian women on the front lines of WW2. Or 'Bismark' the monstrous German battleship that everyone was trying to sink. 'No Bullets Fly' is a true story about a German fighter pilot told to shoot down a crippled Allied bomber. But, when he saw the poor condition of the aircraft and it's wounded crew, he just couldn't kill them. Against his orders, and the threat of a Court Martial, he escorted the damaged plane out to sea and safety. The two enemy pilots met years later, and hugged as brothers. Many years later, the bomber pilots grandson, listening to Sabaton, heard the song about his grandfather, and told his mother who then contacted Sabaton. They were invited as guests to a concert and met the band. They have a SABATON Music Channel kzbin.infofeatured and a SABATON HISTORY CHANNEL kzbin.info/www/bejne/goS4aHubmbeJfbs so if you want to know more about any song, go there to learn it's true story. They make history interesting and entertaining. Their videos are like mini-movies and their live shows are powerful. FLOOR JANSEN adds her amazing vocals to the end credits of 'Christmas Truce'. Once upon a time, NIGHTWISH and SABATON were on tour together and Floor met Hannes, their drummer (the blonde guy who gets blown up in the beginning). They were married, had a little girl and live on a country estate in the back woods of Sweden.

[@80juh]

Great song and in the after text is the floor jansen from nightwish how sings

[@johnk.2508]

You were talking about how much thought and effort must have gone into creating this song. Here's a quote from Sabaton's website: “Christmas Truce was our highest priority when we decided to write songs about World War One. Not only was it the most requested topic from our fans, but it was, for us, the most emotional story from the war. This song took us years to create since we wanted the music to reflect the mood honestly. It was a big challenge, but we feel we managed to write a song that captures the spirit of this day, over a century ago.”

[@Denozo88]

The men in many parts of the front had gotten along so well in the truce that they had to be forced at gun point to fight again. The men realized the germans were just regular men like them who just wanted to go home when the fighting was done win or lose.

[@eufrasiodelacostaperdida9473]

great band!!!!

[@alexplatov2322]

Спасибо из великой Сибири, спасибо девчат, и целую вас)

[@theskillz]

It's even more incredible live.

[@ТушканчикПолевой]

Girls thank you very much for the wonderful reaction to this strong song. I remember you were in awe of the Bismarck song, I would like to see your reaction to the song Sabaton - Dreadnought, a very interesting composition with a wonderful solo, and a strong voice, the song is dedicated to the first large warships that appeared in the First World War🙏

[@najroe]

hope you are aware of the Sabaton history channel, there they give historical background and bit on how they went about making the songs

[@satoricrush]

The pope at the time made a request to a cease fire on Christmas. This is just one of the stories that each side laid down their guns and shared one day as mankind. The sad part is there were other fronts that weren't so peaceful. Soldiers just kept fighting. One side would make the attempt and the other side just open fired on them. The cross still stands as a reminder. Oh, the underlining piano melody is "12 Bells"

[@ramonalderete3404]

stormtroopers by sabaton is a good one you guys should react to next also the red baron animated music video is as well and maybe sparta by sabaton too just some suggestions.

[@torbjorngunnarsson2986]

This story and video is very concerning. But my favorite is still when they sing a "En livstid i krig" (a lifetime in war) live in Gothenburg in their native language. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPWZHpnhdusnK8&pp=ygURZW4gbGl2c3RpZCBpIGtyaWc%3D don't forget the subtitle Although it concerns a war in the 17th century, it is still a relevant text.

it would mean the world to me if you guys would react to "crazy on you" by HEART kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYOuf4uefJ1pjLc you guys will love this song, it really shows off Nancy's insane guitar playing skills in the beginning with a guitar only intro and leads into arguably their greatest song.
