Joakim: "We need a power soprano to close out this song." Hannes (on phone): "Honey, have you got a few minutes?"

This lady clearly doesnt want to cry on camera, noone tell her about the No Bullets Fly animated story video

Please listen to the end of this Beautiful True Video. FLOOR'S husband HANNES VAN DAHL drummer of SABATON is the Wounded Soldier. At the end you hear the beautiful Voice of our FLOOR. And this video deserves a thank you to all these people who made this Video possible 🌸😘

Sabaton focuses on military history as a theme for all their music. They highlight heroism and humanity and each of their songs is a retelling of a historical event. To support their educational mission, they have a separate Sabaton History channel on You Tube. I think you might enjoy the videos for "No Bullets Fly" or "Night Witches." Although I have seen and enjoyed some, I am not as familiar with their live performances. I'm sure others will recommend some.

The cross in the end actually exists. It's located somewhere near Ypres in Belgium. It's a memorial for the Christmas truce and was put there in 1999.

"24. December 1914: Late on Christmas Eve, the British Expeditionary Force heard the German troops singing Christmas carols in the trenches opposite and saw lanterns and small Christmas trees along the trenches. Messages were shouted to each other between the trenches. The next day, British and German soldiers met and exchanged gifts, took photos and some even played soccer. It was a rare but magical moment of peace and harmony in the midst of one of the most gruesome events of the 20th century. "

This song tells of an actual event that took place during various conficts in World War I, as opposing forces held a brief truce, before ultimately returning to their respective encampments and continued fighting. We are all (we are all..) friends. And today we're all brothers, tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers, we drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches, we sing O Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches, a Christmas on the front far from home

Going to a Sababton gig is the most fun you will ever have at a concert, they are awesome! You will love “En Livstid I Krig” live from Goteborg with subtitles turned on, an epic performance!

Floor's husband, Hannes, was a good choice for the starring role in this video.

The sad thing is about Christmas Day 1914, not every section of the western front had a truce. Some sections continued fighting, others used the day to bury the dead that was left in no mans land from the fighting. The leaders of the units that had the truce moved the men around so that the following year this would never happen, they even went as far as issue a standing order that anyone attempting such an act of "treason" would be shot in front of a firing squad. Though I would highly recommend the Sabaton History Channel if you want to know the stories behind any of the Sabaton songs including the full story of the Christmas Truce 1914.

no bullets fly is a powerful song focusing on muterial respect and honorable pilots

I really hope at some point Floor joins them on stage and performs that ending live. That would be absolutely magical.

Old Metal/Rock head here, this band along with Nightwish is my favorite bands. Sabaton has a deep catalog mostly about Military sacrifices heroics thru out history. They are not political but as you said they are really about the sacrifices of the common soldiers citizens, Lest We Forget is their Mantra. They have a Sabaton History Channel ( not one yet for Christmas Truce). They explain a lot of the stories behind the songs. Please check out the Animated versions of No Bullets Fly and Night Witches. It’s a combination of their History Channel and their songs. I know you will go to the end of the videos but it’s really important you go to the end of No Bullets Fly, as it shows the power of music on people. Live show 40 to 1 Woodstock Poland would be my first choice for your first reaction but anything Live , videos , history channel is fantastic. A lot of their videos are ( just like Christmas Truce) are major movie quality ,their official video of Bismarck is epic. Their catalog is deep and like Nightwish they have no bad songs! Also thank you for not stopping Christmas Truce during Floors aura as most reactors do because I believe it emotionally brings hope, sadness, despair & even a hint of joy. Sadly I’ve heard Floors contribution is not on the the Studio version. Which if true I humbly feel is the first mistake that Sabaton has made. Also the soldier that gets shell shocked by the explosion wakes in a daze and walks over the wall is Floors husband. Happy Holidays please Stay Safe Rock On!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

It's not just war, in our societies today we often see each other as ideologies, identities, governments, nationalities, whatever, and rarely as people. We're all scared. We all feel alone. But none of us are so scared nor so lonely as those men in the trenches in 1914, and if they could put aside seeing each other as anything other than people in the same circumstance for one day, then maybe we can all learn to do it forever. Maybe there is a kinder future for the human race, and if there is it starts with the spirit of the German soldier who climbed from his trench to the tune of silent night to seek a ceasefire with men he was told were his enemies.

Aren't you a gem... I landed here "randomly" and discovered a great song and a beautiful soul's channel. We can all choose peace if we wish. Thank you for staying human.

Sabaton is a giant rabbit hole Another song of theirs about the loss of life (but on a more personal level) is SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) (song title means A Lifetime of War) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaijZqpitdzdloE.html In Swedish but has English subtitles - very powerful

En Livstid I Krig next live in Gothenberg about the 30 year war from 1618 to1648. Very powerful and emotional. Be sure to have lyrics on.

Add the song, "No Bullets Fly" to your Sabaton list. Have a hanky on stand-by.

I definitely would recommend the animated story video for "The Night Witches" and "No bullets Fly".

Floor's husband Hannes Van Dahl was the first man out of the trench!!!!

Watch SABATON - En livstid i krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) Cheers from Sweden.

Welcome to Sabaton! I would suggest their song Night Witches or No bullets fly.

History with a beat ! And floor to sing us out ,it’s her husband who walks out to no man’s land

A very strong message, and based on a true event that took place on the Western Front in 1914......for one night the guns were silent and the soldiers where brothers. I've read about it and I wonder why we as humans never learn the lessons that history tells us...... Less we Forget

Welcome to SABATON. History told through great lyrics & music (what a concept). Sabaton doesn't pick sides or play politics or glorify war. They tell different stories from different nations. But, military & war focus. Their songs & storytelling are a good nexus to history & interesting way to learn history. Where were they when I was in school!

I love this reaction from you for this song. The saddest thing about this song is that people haven't learned anything from it, 20 years later it gets worse.

I am a big Sabaton fan as well as being a Nightwish Army trooper. Sabaton are making musically documentaries of war episodes, like no other band - just as deep as Nightwish's stories, but other subjects, just as important. This is what music can produce and provide... And to be honest - that is what you have lost in the US music industry - it disappeared a few decades ago, sadly enough. And you are spot on about the Celtic, folk and Scandinavian / European vibe. And of course it was Floor. Sabaton and Floor goes back to Floor's ReVamp days, where they toured together - and Floor and Hannes found each other. There are a few videos out there that shows Floor pranking Joacim on stage - being a background dancing girl and another one where she challenged him into a guitar duel. The Sabaton guys loves working with Floor and it's also the Sabaton guitarist who is on some of Floor's covers. She is on at least one other Sabaton song. Merry Christmas to you from Denmark 🇩🇰

Saw them live once when they opened for nightwish at the Greek theater in Hollywood. It was epic. Delain, Sabaton, Nightwish… that was one hell of a show!

That cross at the end of the clip really exists on a military graveyard at Ypres, Belgium (not the place where the truce happened but as a memorial at a place were there were many, many casualties during '14-'18)! Video's like this should slap people in the face, at least certain people, those who start wars but are not in it! But what an incredible production and such beautiful music! I knew Sabaton but didn't follow them..., that..., is gonna change now!

I couldn’t hold back a tear or two… so powerful, touching and full of humanism… these men could have been friends! Play soccer, drink together, but the leader forced them to kill each other… so sad, still happens all over the world… the outro vocals are by Floor Jansen (Nightwish), she is married with the Sabaton drummer… Viele Grüße aus der Heimat, frohe Weihnacht! 🎄👍🤘

To me this is Sabatons master piece song, but well dont get me wrong they got a lot of other very good songs to, this is just the best to me.. and they are also a great live band, i would like to go to a concert with them, because of that fact.. Sabaton is a band that sing about hisrorie of war, and they even got their own historie channel, and it just fits this band very well..

First time here. Great reaction Jacqueline. I hope you have a great Christmas. The saddest part for me is that I know that it only happened 1914 because the officers made it treasonous by 1915. The soldiers wanted Christmas peace, but the leaders wanted war.

The Bismarck official music video Sabaton, awesome 😎

Powerful story by Great Band Sabaton with Floor's Valkyrie call at the end ..... NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

An excellent choice of Sabaton song to start with. Actually any Sabaton song would have been a good one to start with.

The real hero's are the fallen ones, we just are lucky to be alive once a soldier of Worldwar 2 said. I think he was right about that.

En livstid i krig, live i Göteborg 🇸🇪🍻

The truth is that the Truce happenned in 1914. Sadely it was the last time that Humans Madness had a pause!

This video is amazing work of art. Musically it is gorgeous. Visually it is an amazing production. The story telling of a true event from WW1 where the soldier's humanity got a chance to shine is excellent. As a veteran myself this video perfectly captures the "Brotherhood of Arms" that all soldiers, sailors, and airmen feel for each other.

Really, Sabaton more than metal band, they are historical singers! Singers for all of heroes and fallen solders from all wars and countries! Respect! And many greetings from Russia to You, Jacqueline, many thanks for every your reaction and reviews!

A Fight is when you do not agree; a war is when you are afraid of fighting.

Beautiful right? Chills when the piano starts and when Floor sings the outro.

Also the music about the Bismarck is also brilliant one of the best as a video clip it’s really stuff of a movie.

Floor and Sabaton, what an insanely awesome mix !!!

Sabaton has their very own "Sabaton History Channel" on youtube were they talk about the history of the song topic and then alittle about how/way they did the song. they don't have 1 for this song (yet) BTW Great Reaction, for more on this topic there is a decent movie (2005) "Joyeux Noel" (Merry Christmas) shows the German, French & British (well a Scottish unit) , sadly when word of these events got out many units were punished and relocated to other sections of the line were the fighting was more savage. and then they made sure on holidays they would launch attacks and such. but the war took a turn and got more deadly esp once GAS started to be used in 1915 some soldier tried to repeat the event of 1914 but were shot. for another good song live checkout - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) make sure you have the captions on as they sing it in Swedish

sabaton is my fav band in the world its all good

There's an old saying War doesn't make heroes it makes only widows

You have just reacted to the best ever Christmas song JVB, thank you.

If you want another emotional video and song by Sabaton check out "No Bullets Fly". Also shows humanity during a war...

There's a monument in Belgium for this event... yes thats Floor singing the outro..

they have an amazing song about Bismark and extremely emotional is Final Solution. Night Witches is great also and No Bullets Fly is about the Mercy of a German Pilot in WW2

If you want a live experience with them I can heavily recommend En livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) live from Gothenburg. I was at that show and it was truly a magical night.

ДАААА!!! Это Сабатон!!! Люблю их и уважаю!!! Спасибо за реакцию!

Best new Christmas song ever!

All Sabaton songs has a thru historical background.

Only two words JVB, only two words. Wonderfull reaction 🌲🤘

For your next Sabaton watch, I suggest "No Bullets Fly" the "Animated Story Video", which has an incredible story and historical lesson (as many Sabaton songs/videos do)> Sabaton even has a "Sabaton History Channel" here on YT. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtmcgpBkrM3Jno0.html

next song you HAVE to watch from them is 40:1 live at Woodstock Poland 2012: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKipiqyaq6rJonk.html OR/AND En livstid i krig live in Gothenburg: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaijZqpitdzdloE.html first one is pure for the interaction with the croud, second one is honestly pure goosebumps from start to finish. not gonna tell you why though, you'd have to see it, and experience it for yourself ;) merry Christmas JVB! ♥

You felt that one, didn't you. Great band. More!

What an AMAZING 🌟CHRISTMAS🌟 Song by SABATON. The lyrics and the MUSIC inspire You. And the Video, Unbelievable. All Band Members play a Role. Also the HUSBAND from FLOOR JANSEN The DRUMMER van SABATON, HANNES VAN DAHL. He was the wounded SOLDIER. It's also a piece of history. You can learn a lot. It's very...... EMOTIONAL 😢 And at the end the Voice of FLOOR JANSEN, makes it extra Beautiful...💫 This a Gift for Christmas ☃️🎄🕊️ We are all.... We are all.... We are all.... We are all.... FRIENDS 🤝🤝 For Me The CHRISTMAS SONG of the Year 2021...💫 A little PEACE 🕊 and LOVE ❤️ for Everyone 🌹 WARS are TERRIBLE... Let's all think a little bit about 🌟 CHRISTMAS TRUCE🌟 during the CHRISTMAS Season, this is so often FORGOTTEN!!!! Thank you JACQUELINE 🤍 this was AMAZING. Love and Peace 🕊 Wish you 💕 MERRY CHRISTMAS And a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 Love from the Netherlands ️ ❤️🤍💙 🇳🇱 🙋🏼‍♀️😘

Tommy Johansson , the guy who play the guitar in the video has his own band Majestica Please react to The joy of christmas with Majestica He is wery talented with an amazing voice He i also the guy behind the music on Floors covers

So true. You are always fighting for someone else.

About live shows, they are very good and there is some live shows truly amazing. I'd suggest you Wacken 2019, a very special concert, they play on 2 stages at the same time, with the current lineup and the old band members, you can start with the song Swedish Pagans feat Tina Guo, an amazing celloist, but all the show deserve to be watched. Another one is the Woodstock Poland open air, a very massive and passionate crowd. They have some songs about Polish resistence during the WWII, the reaction of the audience need to be watched, the songs to react here are 40:1 and Uprising. Last suggestion, this time a Show in Sweden, their home land, with all the audience singing the entire song: En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) About Floor in Sabaton, they made an entire song with her as leadsinger, but it's a simphonic version, maybe it's better to first discover the band for what they are.

Thank you for watching the whole video. Floor's beautiful outro gives us a chance to catch our breath after such a great, powerful, emotional song and video. Have a happy Christmas!!❄️☃️❄️

Saboton is a band about preserving history from both angles no matter what side they give honor to soldiers who died on both sides they have songs about Vietnam Korea ww2 ww1 BTW floor sings outro on this

Îf you think about reacting to "No Bullets Fly" or "Night Witches" make sure you choose the animated STORY videos for these (NOT the animated music videos). The STORY videos tell more about the background and are done by YarnHub and their team of fantastic animators. They are very emotional as well, so maybe you keep some tissues nearby (these songs make me cry everytime).

What a great reaction video. I have seen a few covering this song and yours is brilliant. Love your shock expressions. I absolutely wish we could live in a warless society. I will checkout more Sabaton. I have only known about them from this video and coming from Nightwish and lead singer Floor. BRILLIANT SONG AND FANTASTIC BAND. LOVE IT

What a wonderful reaction! We who have served only wants peace. Thank you!

And now its happened.Currently, we have a war in Europe that may develop into a world war. People do not learn from such images. I have never been afraid until now, but I think the current situation scares me.

You need to see “En livstid i krig”. It’s in Swedish so put on the subtitles and try not to cry.

wowww what a song... goosebumps.thanks

The guitarist Tommy Johansson is a superb singer himself, check out Majestica or ReinXeed for his remarkable vocal prowess.

Feel free to cry if you wish I teared up thinking this is where my grandfather fought, and having to deal with war wounds in my job in the military

you should watch "en livstid I krig" live from Göteborg, it is in Swedish but there are subtitles, the song deals with a soldier in the 30 years war and his feelings and thoughts, wery powerful, how about "becuse war, it can destroy a man " or "a husband,a friend, father and son that will never come home again"

There is a documentary about the Christmas Truce, that just came out a few day's ago. I don't remember what the channel is, but it should be easy to find. It's an hour or so long.

Really liked your reaction. Emotional and very meaningful. Always get teary eyes when I listen this one

And subed for the most heart felt reaction ever ❤️

Veeery late, but thank's god, never too late for Sabaton. They stroll through history, from the Greco-Persian wars on. I highly recommend "Defence of Moscow" This song drastically demonstrates the schizophrenic of war.People go from civilians to slaughtering another, to brothers and friends for hours, back to slaughtering again. Holy madness in one song.

I saw this a couple days ago, it is just so well done, thought for sure we'd get some tears from you, but you did well holding them at bay, excellent reaction as as always

Your reaction is emotional, as usually you have awesome energy. Other band and song you should check out is Dir En Grey - Tousei. Have an awesome year.

The valkyries, collecting the souls of the fallen, that day, where surprised they could only collect so few. So they sang a song in stead (cue Floor Jansen:) 'Aha! Ah-aha ah-aha-ah-aha.. ah aha ah aha.. ha!'

Please ..... more Sabaton reactions :) All their songs are about true stories in the history

Nah, this is a GREAT song to start off with! And I am stating that upfront... the power, reverence before history and heroism, and the manly tear shed all being signature SABATON. Not to understate when the end credits roll along, for me, the manly tears kinda break the dam... The reason is. :)

Excelent job , I'm glad you took a look at Sabaton . Note: to you , remember what I'm about to say to you a year or so down the road you will see world peace and your going to be shocked who gets it done.

Karawang Indonesia hadirrrr

Hannes van Dahl , the drummer of the band brought his wife , the almighty Floor Jansen of Nightwish to sing the end credits ! Legit !!! Long to love their baby !! The most powerful lyrics in a epic rock historic song ... such a touching momment! Merry Christmas to all the world!

Just loved your reaction from dancing to the music the shocked when the fighting restarted near the end

You should see the uprising and 40 to 1 live recording from Woodstock festival in Poland

"War Is A Racket" - General Smedley Butler

😎👍Hi Jacqueline, The way Sabaton sings here is their over all unique sound. Its a great band to do reaction videos to. Your numbers (views) will probably stay the highest with Nightwish but, it will be a free for all between Sabaton, Epica, Within Temptation and afew others. I urge you to check out more of Sabaton. ❤😎👍🍻

This video is amazingly more accurate than most historical movies, awesome job from everyone involved, and no wonder the credits are so long (worth watching and listening to still though, Floor is amazing).

Lovely and moving reaction! You're such a pure soul!

True story JVB. It actually happened. Lest we forget? 💖💎🎄🙏🙏🙏

Lol! 75 500 subscribers in 2023 - May =) Congratulations, dear Lady Jac! (Subbed too... ;) You're so good!

For wat u said and you said it right the wars are not of us it’s higher hierarchy they sing about it 2 “ a lifetime of war” the English version . The lírics of that one are wat you just said . U should listen to that one too

Great reaction, thank you. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

Grandgrandpa 70 here: Everybody was looking in the dath Eyes from Soldiers, think sharply before you start a War! Otto von Bismarck. German Cancelor (1914).🤔

There is also a movie about this event, check out Midnight Clear from 1992.

SABATON !!!

"The heart of men is evil. Who can understand it?" (Jeremiah, in the OT) It's hard to grip. Goodness? No. There´s none. On this Earth exists just bad things. In the dark...
