Tim Minchin is one of my heroes. He has so many layers, he makes you think. Genius

Nice reaction.

It's too dark. Sorry I can't watch it.

Thank you for your reaction. Greetings from Sweden

Maria gives me goosebumps

Thank you brother. You get it - your reaction is the best! I also loved Iggy Pop!

Till to this moment Franz Stigler had 29 enemy's shot dow... For 30 he would got the iron cross/knight cross... Thats why '...said good bye to rhe cross he deserved...'

Nice reaction, from a person, who's (presumably) been throu ... more or less of those situs @ battlefield. Kudos ... !. As a FINNJÄVEL ,🙂this swedish version of this marvellous piece of Sabaton's production is closer to me, than an english version ... 'cause the swedish was the 1st foreing language (mandatory), which we had to learn @ school (from 7th to 9th grade). And yes .... I had forgotten most of the vocabulary and grammar, until i opened the swedish lyrics and sang along this piece. To me, it's a kind of a sad story, told by a young boy's (15-18 yrs) perspective, who propably? was an orphan (diseases and famine), or was given a way to a foster parents as a young child (that btw, was a very common thing, back in those days). ... "Men, vem saknar mig?" = But, who's going to miss me?. And "Men, vem sörger mig" = But, who's going to mourn me????. This song, if possible, is the most emotionally touching piece of all what Sabaton has made so far. Finally.... a word from finnish veterans mouth of yrs. 1939-1945 ... "Kaveria ei jätetä" = "Leave No Man Behind". Applied, not only in a battlefield ... it did continue during a peace time aswell. The band of brothers is for a lifetime, 'till the last roll call. All the best, from 🇫🇮.

I think, this one, and Norupo are Heilungs best videos. Glad to see your reaction to this band!

Disable vet here. TACP 2002-2009. We hit an IED on patrol in Afghanistan. 6 killed me and one other injured in 2007. I understand what this is like to have people by your side and gone the next minute. Death in war never leaves the heart of those who have experienced it, and songs like this will make every vet cry because they know someone who was killed. Bless you brother and every vet dealing with the issues of war. May we all find peace one day.

6:29 The woman was dead, brought back to the village, and prepared for burial. In harsh Siberian Winter the ground would be hard as concrete, so they would leave the body in the cold to “preserve” it until they could properly perform the burial rites. In the lyrics you can read she’s praying to her God, He answers (the dead woman’s arm raises and catches the horn, then her eyes open), and (in my interpretation/opinion) the throat singing is their God (Tengri in this case) greeting her and welcoming her back. That’s how I see it

Semper Fi!

Nice reaction.

The fact that the commissar took it on herself to find every crashsides where one of 'her girls' was downed always gets me.

HOG forever! From a brother from the other side of the pond.

Thank You 💖

And to think this little dynamo would go on win Drumeo's drummer of the year, 11 years later.

The most gut-wrenching part of the line "and now there's nobody remembers our names" is that in some cases it was very literal within just a few decades. The "Pals Battalions" being massacred at the Somme literally destroyed entire communities, like Lemmy said. That was largely it for the men of an entire generation, and within a few decades you'd have entire family lines that completely disappeared as a consequence. For all too many of them, no one remembered their names because there was simply no one left who knew they ever existed.

a great song from an awesome band

Try reacting to Kuchotka. Beautiful, or for a different style, Khan Blues. I found Otyken about 2 months ago, and just love everything they do. Fascinating beautiful indigenous music and instruments.

This is one of the best reactions I've seen to this video and I've seen dozens.

did he just say german?!?!

Very good reaction. Liked your thoughts and insights. Take care 😊

Love watching new people experiencing Epica for 1st time and enjoying the music I've loved for years. But I especially like reactors who deep dive into the lyrical content & meaning. Good luck on the rest of your recovery, you have done the work and started on your journey. RESPECT. You have a new sub my friend. Once upon a Nightmare from Omega Alive- Epicas streamed show during covid. I think you will love it.🤘🤘

I WAS THERE!

So glad to see that you’re back. You have been missed. If you haven’t seen it already, you need to check out disturbs video on drugs and suicide. I’m sorry I can’t remember the name of it but go to his website and you can’t miss it. Congrats on your 11 months ! 🎉 that’s a huge achievement. This is a great song too by the way !

You’re such an angel thank you for the reaction! 🖤

Hi bro ❤ I love this,her voice is 🔥

I love the storytelling in these songs.

Great reaction. Good analysis. Thanks

Dont worry abort the graffiti, in Norway It sometimes is art, also I dont think you offend any Norwegian by reacting honestly. Wishing you all the best.

So cool to see these cute girls setting their roots in classic Rock. Very inspiring! Good reaction brother. ⚡️🤟🔥

❤❤❤❤

Вокал Азян потрясающий!

Otyken круто! Азян-великолепна!

Thanks for reacting to Sabaton's tribute to Audie Murphy and other soldiers with PTS. Yes, the guitar solo by Chris Rörland is mezmerizing. Audie's son heard about the song, and liked it so much that he attended a concert and met the band. If you get a chance, read Audie's book To Hell and Back. Audie locked himself in a hotel room for 5 to 6 days to get of the pills, and he did. That's what Sabaton's video is about. Audie wrote the book with another author, a friend, but so much of the writing is Audie. During the war, he began writing poetry (in his book, he attributes this to another soldier, but Audie was the poet/writer). Audie heard from another soldier of an older soldier saying that hell is 6 feet deep. Audie was impressed with this image, and worked it into his poem "The Crosses Grow at Anzio." It's really something to see Sabaton play this song, frequently as the last song of their concerts. It was strange to see huge European audiences sing along with this song, know about Audie, while many in the US don't know about him. In the film, Audie plays himself, really hard to replay a scene that you've lived in war. The film includes the famous event of Audie and his command encountering a hundred of more German soldiers and six tanks. Audie's two tank destroyers were both rendered unable to move, one on fire. Audie sent hi men back, and stayed alone, calling in artillery strikes. When the artillery asked over the phone how close the soldiers were, Audie said Just hold on and I'll let you talk to one of the bast ards. He then got on the burning tank destroyer, found the machine gun to be working fine, and starting shooting German soldiers. The tanks and Germans retreated, mostly because they couldn't figure out where the machine gun fire was coming from, due to the atillery smoke, and no one thought anyone would be crazy enough to be on the burning tank. If you get a chance, look at the simple but well-kept memorial that the French put up in honor of Audie and the other soldiers who freed Holtzwihr, France, from the Germans.

Thank you for your service. I do appreciate you.

👍

Really great reaction, Thank You! This song, and the other Sabaton songs and History Channel about Queen Christina intrigued me, so I did more reading (Starting with Wikipedia). I didn't realize the history of New Sweden in the American colonies. In the middle of this war, in about 1638, settlers were starting New Sweden, on the Delaware River. My dates are sketchy, but Gustavus Adolphus died in 1638, leaving his little daughter as "King" then "Queen Christina." Though her father died fighting Catholics, ironically Christina abdicated her throne in 1654, to become Catholic. There's a film Queen Christina, with Greta Garbo. It's historic fiction, but the palace scenes are cool, with Garbo as Queen, steering the country towards the end of the war, the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.

Sabaton Concert in Houston, Texas 10/1/22 : This is a smaller venue, and shows Sabaton with the same incredible energy, plus it shows the short video dedicated to the WW1 Dough Boys. Thanks for your great reaction for this 2012 Woodstock! As far as feedback, I never ever noticed it. And in this concert, I think Sabaton, Joakim Brodén and Pär Sundström had just found 3 new musicians: Robin Beck on drums, Thobbe Englund, and Chris Chris Rörland on guitars, and the energy of the band just ignited.

Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed it!❤️

Love you brother! New sub! Great reaction hang in there hopefully screw tube will learn some day how to recognize not everything is unicorns and rainbows. I love ANKOR they are my favorite band of all time and I am old as fck.

I know this is an old post but I wanted to tell you that this song really touched me also. I'm glad you started to break everything down inside this song. I also suffer from CPTSD, anxiety, and depression, so I've also dealt with that dark whirlpool. I've only started to rip the bandaids off but I'm am glad you are dealing with your demons also.

Thank you so much Patrick!!
