Winterborn- The Cruxshadows

[@MrJimmyLocksmith]

The vocalist lives in my neighborhood. I met him and his daughter a few weeks ago. He's actually a really cool guy.

[@thealchemygothicstieg8243]

Yeah,why not.Is also human.

[@kaykaycarr7786]

Wow! You are lucky! That's epic.

[@justsomeguy3931]

Tell him nobody else in the world has hair like THAT

[@lorenzocoselli454]

The violinist is (or be) the girlfriend of a friend of mine...

[@erinpisani2903]

p

[@johnnycampbell3422]

After a decade as a paratrooper; whose inspiration was a corporal telling a tank commander "if you are looking for a safe place, get behind me, i AM the 82nd AIRBORNE and this is as far as the bastards are going". Yeah, this song resonates.

[@SaintRi]

I shot this video to a friend of mine who is a Methodist pastor. I told him it is currently helping me through a bad time. He later messaged me back describing this song as "Powerful." This means a lot to me coming from a holy man.

[@joed2431]

Ok that is really cool

[@AllieQueenofNarnia]

It was friends from Church who got me into The Cruxshadows in the first place. Might seem strange to some ppl. But it was part of the reason I felt so welcome at that church. We were an eclectic group, and it was amazing. ❤

[@BeanFace-oj2en]

You'd be surprised how many people who have faith are not as boxed as you would, or would not, believe😃

[@johnnycampbell3422]

John Ringo introduced me to this song

[@TheSquishy]

You should listen to the Subway to Sally remix of this song. Far more powerful IMO

[@Pwentt]

Ringo sure knows his music, this is the second good one he lead me to.

[@JohnSobeskthe3rd]

found this great song thru Ghost

[@Damonnanashi]

The guy who wrote the Kildar series, right? That's where I heard of them too lol

[@frostedfur]

I came across this in the Black Tide Rising Universe. Thanks John

[@Ice-Raptor]

And in the fury of this darkest hour, we will be your light. You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am winterborn. Without denying, a faith is come that I have never known. I hear the angels call my name and I am winterborn.

[@zachduncan3752]

This song... Has so much nostalgia for me. Recently, I am about to turn 18. My memories of my years have been popping at random. Random things that are non-important to most. Just now, the single word. "winterborn".

[@nicholasgoldsborough1563]

Dang. Im totally floored. Its a great song and the lyrics are epic. Its just what i needed.

[@vsander09]

It’s born out of VNV Nation and everything that came after

[@left4deadlover123]

The chorus is absoulutely breathtaking

[@decked06]

What does “winter born” mean?? I’m assuming it means doomed. Livestock and children born in winter are less likely to survive. Idk…

[@XBlackTemplarX]

Jesus birth

[@Feck-de-stans]

sacrifice its about been a man

[@sabrinab1212]

I love the "It's a Wonderful Life"-style plot of this song.

[@MartialArborist]

Nah, Ghost. I don't remember it being mentioned in the Looking Glass series, though I do remember Dragonforce was mentioned. John Ringo has damn good taste in music.

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

@martialarborist7918 I don’t know if he had it in his song list, but he definitely referenced it in his Live Free or Die series. Would have to check, but wouldn’t be surprised to find it in his song lists for Graveyard Sky or There Will Be Dragons also. I’ll have to check my collection. Agree on his taste in music.

[@ashleyharris4412]

Ringo mentions their music at least once in every one of his books I've read.

[@CeeCeeObscura]

I've been listening to the cruxshadows for YEAAAAAAAAAAARS :3

[@fridcorrath]

Same, sang this song-to-sleep my youngest he's 16 this year.

[@medicisounds1384]

Ok so i was looking for another song with the same name but came across this, im liking this a lot

[@MerchantOfDeath25]

I came here cause this is a good song from a good group...Nothing brought me here except for a love of music.

[@MMfallendark]

i came here because i wanted to listen to this awesome song that i used to listen before few years and that made me feel better

[@BeanFace-oj2en]

Xmas tune of the year, done the pub, fucking xmas dinner, yay dinner👍

[@SaintRi]

Though I doubt it's about them, this song makes me think of St. Paul and the first century church. Honestly, a lot of this song makes me think of St. Paul's writings to the various churches that were going through strife and turmoil. It's encouraging for me right now.

[@beedrillfreak]

A really big pity the guy took it down. That was one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin.

[@OlimpiaMoll-Arruza]

Timeless 🤍🌹 God bless 🌎🙏

[@Vijzier]

Funny I never picked up on this in the Looking Glass Series but followed it here from Ghost. I owe Ringo for pointing me to this and Cambreadth. Fight for Freedom I found myself before he referenced it in Last Centurion. I'd love to see the playlist on his MP3 player, bet I'd like a lot of the music.

[@LordZeromaru]

This is my song--- my life, described so beautifully...

[@Feck-de-stans]

Paladin in the shadows

[@rizackdoom9453]

i love this band i wish i was Winterborn was born in April but i dig the Winter :)

[@humanforklift1]

Go John Ringo.. Good music and even better Books..

[@frostedfur]

Papa Wolf's Floating Circus and Rescue Squadron brought me here. We may be in different boats, but we are all in the same storm.

[@tamimet1056]

the royal knights of digimon 😎

[@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223]

We stand in and with the Crüxshadows!

[@liliththeblack]

Love this song 💜

[@MrWayne1701]

Wow...that's moving, and deep...

[@glytchd]

+dom uncl Heaven shall remember the Silent & The brave. Bear the Truth with Pride; let no one take from you such Faith in These, the Faithless ages They did warn us of; 20yrs & counting ;) makes ya think, eh?

[@sethbailey4031]

[@XBlackTemplarX]

Digimon The Royal Knights

[@TabBAtMAMA]

Big shout out to Rogue and Crew 🎉🎉❤🎉🎉

[@meagana6226]

❤❤❤

[@unrulychalice2854]

Love it~

[@TF1Akrata]

did anyone else come here after reading the Looking Glass Series?

[@rainbowelcome]

This song this band xoxo

[@rainbowelcome]

beautiful

[@NocturnalLovers]

Is this a song about Jesus? Like from Jesus' point of view? He made a heroic sacrifice to better the future of the people, and He risked his life, and He was born in the winter.

[@KBAFourthtime]

No, it was for the Trojan warriors who stood and fought so thst the rest of their people could escape out the back gate, as was said in Virgil's Anaeus (?).

[@zazieproductions]

I’m 12 and I love this band! In 2018 darkest hour trump to be clear

[@vsander09]

If that’s your darkest hour, you’re not paying attention.

[@Drisanna]

He (Ringo) even put a playlist at the end of Unto the Breach.

[@chinghue]

@darkspider4444 that sounds like the best book ever, they shoud make a film of it....

[@Ryuujin1988]

That and the Paladin of Shadows Series by John Ringo =)

[@DaveRicin]

Such a Hipster.

[@lvrsnaynay]

@TF1Akrata One of the best series of novels I ever read

[@lydieluck7753]

I am winter born, January to be exact haha. I dunno about this book that everyone is referencing but the lyrics to the song are definitely interesting.

[@flounder2760]

i came here after reading claws that catch and having seen this song referenced by many of ringo's other books

[@somejoshthing]

except for the lame url near the beginning, that was freaking amazing. Spot on!

[@DaveRicin]

The "Accidental" link at 1:51 was understandable, had you not done the same thing once again at the end of the video. We know your channel, it's your video. Stop advertising it around like we aren't aware of who made the video we're watching.

[@WindwalkerOldwolf]

Excellent series...though I am still a bit upset about Gretchen

[@evivappa]

sorry but does anyone know in which album is this song included?

[@Uhlgarth]

It's the sixth track from the Ethernaut album

[@evivappa]

thanks a lot :)

[@evivappa]

Kira Sakeme thank you :)

[@triwan]

@TF1Akrata Yeap can't wait for the next one!

[@Ryuujin1988]

Good series of books! Wish the series had a few more parts...

[@karasutenka]

[@Wizard4169]

Ringo originally turned me on to Cruxshadows. So, I owe him one.

[@johnwargo1121]

[@Valthek]

@TF1Akrata Ghost series, actually

[@MrBookman90]

Depeche Mode weeps

[@vsander09]

In fairness, Kraftwerk plus early industrial begat DM… and now DM begets modern electro industrial. It’s a circle not a line.

[@ForfeMac]

@TF1Akrata Ghost series, actually...

[@chinghue]

@darkspider4444 I've read the summery, is it true that there is an entire chapter out raping a prostitute?

[@BenCDBrown]

John Ringo fans, stand for anthem.

[@rainbowelcome]

Yeah

[@WindwalkerOldwolf]

Nope...but I did get inot the band after the first book in the Paladin of Shadows series (Ghost)

[@RuleOfThunder]

@TF1Akrata Yep. Gotta admit, I see his point, too.

[@MMfallendark]

[@keisukekitada4093]

[@glytchd]

[@Fabian-qi1jd]

Me too

[@fbrdj]

@CyberBlackRose lol

[@guardiangarasu]

I pity you

[@krautdragon6406]

ô_o These statements are so arrogant, I'm utterly disgusted. It doesn't really matter when you've found them, or where. What is more important to differentiate is what of them you like.

[@triwan]

@TF1Akrata Yeap can't wait for the next one!
