SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) REACTION!!! 

Check out my other Sabaton reactions here: ru-vid.com/group/PLSDmmd5-PlAZGqDWRAXLt93urb5jQSf-O

I’ve seen so many people react to this but not understand the implications. But as I watch genuine tears fall from your face the longer this song goes on, I know that you understand this song to it’s truest form. To this I know you respect the story. To this we honor the service of people across time and nationalities, the backstories are all different, but the story is the same.

A true man never shy away from showing his emotions. Im a big guy 6'6 , 115 kg and I get tears in my eyes every time from this song. Thanks for your service and for this great reaction!

Thank you for your Service.... not all heroes wear a cape, Best regards from Sweden

I was there and I’ve been watching the music video over and over because I WANT TO GO BACK, like please I screamed my lungs out to that song and would do it again 🇸🇪

The bit that always gets me is the line that goes " i fält där fränder faller hörs ingen sång " (in fields where kinsmen fall no song is heard). I always think, well there is an entire stadium singing for them now...

When you said: "I see people"... I thought " Oh you´re gonna hear them too!"

I showed this performance to my gf's daughter. I told her a little bit about the history beforehand. She, a 14yo with zero connection to any form of war, couldn't hold back the tears either. Then she asked me to buy tickets to their 2022 tour. Sadly, no tickets left where we could go :/

This drummer is so talented! Hes name is Hannes Van Dahl... some facts - He is married to Floor Jansen from Nightwish aswell :)

I was there it was pure magic. Joakim conducting a choir of 12000+

This song is about the Thirty Years' War that dominated central Europe in the 17th century (1618-1648). To this day it is one of the longest and bloodiest wars in history, with the death toll falling between 4 million and 8 million. Many of the fatalities were not even from active warfare, but famine and disease also plagued the area, upping the casualties that much more. Casualties reached such a high number that many Swedish men were forced to fight when they had barely reached manhood, and sometimes even before then. Which really makes the title of the song ("A Lifetime of War" in English) hit a little harder. Men basically spent their entire lives at war, no chance for a peaceful life. The was about the battle between Catholics and Protestants, and some point during the war almost every major player/Country in Europe was a part of it. This Swedish version of the song tells the story from a Swedish soldier's point of view. You should also check out the English version; it is not a direct translation from the Swedish, but it rather tells the story of the war from the perspective of the outside people, those not involved directly in the war but were affected by it

A lot of respect for making your reaction REAL man. You should be very proud of yourself and thank you for your service! One of my best buddies in the US, did one tour in Afghanistan 10-12 years ago. His convoy was attacked but he survived. Once again, thanks for your true reaction, showing us what a real man looks like!/Packer Nation, Stockholm Sweden

The swedish version is better than the english one. The english one is about the 30 years war in general, but this one is more personal

The English version is about the event of course, but the Swedish version being about a soldier is much, much more personal. I'd even go so far as to say that other than the line about fighting for Sweden specifically, it transcends any kind of boundaries and simply becomes an anthem for any and all soldiers across history. Men who historically rose up at the call of the fatherland and simply vanished from the pages of history. Men who left a merger few to mourn them and pass on their stories, lest they be forgotten forever. Men who don't even have the luxury to know if what they're fighting for is just, or if their sacrifices actually made a difference. That is what it means to have a Lifetime of War - however short your lifetime ends up being.

That was the most sincere reaction i have ever seen.. love and respect from Sweden!

Thank you for your service and god bless you. From a British Patriot and a Sabaton fan. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I wasn't at this show but at the show in Stockholm a couple of days later and it was the same there. This song they (almost) only play in Sweden and this is how it sounds and looks everytime they play it. You have to be there to fully feel and understand how mighty it is to be in that crowd.

LOOOOVE THIS SONG 🤘🤘 Proud Swed 😊🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

As a Swede, huge Sabaton fan and also been part of the Swedish armed forces for 14 years.. this song and also manny others goes straight to my feelings... I was just at one of there Concerts again a month ago.. And they played this song to.. Amazing... 🇸🇪🇸🇪❤

One line that really strikes me is "Där ute väntar döden, inte hjältemod" (There is death waiting out there, not heroism). Loved your reaction, and I glad you listened to the swedish version. It is so much more personal and emotional then the english version. As an american, I would suggest "To hell and back", "82nd all the way" and Devil Dogs. They are about two american heroes (Audie Murphy and Alvin York) and the US Marines.

I cried almost entirety of song. No matter which country you belong, whatever your backstory is, there is one story that is same for everyone touched by war, death, loss, either that been loss of your home, your family member... doesn't matter, it is sadness, guilt (that you couldnt do anything). Saying "i hope we never exerience war" would be naive since humanity will never be at peace. Even now world is on the balance with all shit that is happening in the world. My naive wish and dream is peaceful world free from war, free from sadness and pain that war brings. But that is only a dream. One can hope but it is everyone that need to make it happen. Sabaton is the greatest band ever, the only that sings about war, and all of what cames with it. I never bow to anyone but i bow to Sabaton, I have such respect for this guys they earn it.

"Songs like this they really stir up something inside of me, obviously i'm not going to hide it"

You need to hear CHRISTMAS TRUCE from Sabaton. Masterpiece and great video production and Storytelling

Please never cut out anything from your reactions. I love every second of them. Also, Nothing is digitally edited in this video. It is real what you see. Much love BTW... This was the first video with commercials. 2 of them. What's up with that??

I was not at this particular concert, but I have seen Sabaton live 9 times and at 7 of those they performed this song in swedish and the atmosphere in the crowd was incredible, specially at the parts where the band stopped playing and just let the crowd pretty much take over, there's nothing like it, at least nothing that I have experienced in my 30+ years. Sabaton is an incredible live band, one of the best out there!

I come back to this reaction from time to time so I can cry with you. Those lyrics hit on an incredibly deep level.

This video always brings tears to my eyes. The crowd singing, the lyrics, the thumbs up and a bow ❤️🤘 Long live SABATON!

I was one of the many men, women and children who sang along to my dear Sweden's wonderful band Sabaton that day. TODAY when I watch this video over and over it is incredibly emotional. My father fought for freedom in Iraq, Bosnia, etc., and grandfather World War II, who fought voluntarily for freedom in other countries all over the world. I made the same decision and did military service for a time and now as a 46 year ex soldier I do not hesitate to protect our planet from the men of evil. This song is multinational, all countries in this world can recognize themselves from their countries history Continue with your reactions // Hugs from Sweden

I get a feeling about this song, that it can be viewed from a soldiers point of view, a soldier who asks himself "who am i fighting for so far away?", you fight for your land 100 miles away, the soldier asks himself.

I have never seen your channel before, but I could tell you were either a veteran or knew people in the military by your reaction.

since you've been watching alot of nightwish recently a fun fact is that Sabatons drummer is married to Floor from nightwish

thanks for your feelingq, bro. weep it legit

I was there, it was totally amazing 🤘🤘🤘

Thank you for your service. And thank you for a great and very honest reaction. /From a swedish veteran

This is by far the most poweful song ever written! Brings me to tears every time! I just LOVE Sabaton!

Was there! :)

Thank you for your service!

Very good reaction, thanks for your video....

This song is powerful in its own right without understanding the lyrics. Hearing the crowd sing the song back to the band just makes it feel so much more important. Then when you understanding the lyrics, it's hard not to cry.

My oldest son played this song for me. I thought "onoo here we go again 🙈😀 But the song melted my heart so fast. I felt so many emotions and I starten cry. How emberessed🙈😂 The song gave me so many emotions and I can see before me how my two sons has to go to war and maybe I'll never see them again.... so heartbracking song. I just love is song. 🙏 "Caurolus Rex" is absolut one of the best song ever made. Do i video on that one🙏 Thank you for sharing all these videos. 🤘 Love from sweden🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

I was there! it was the best concert ever! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Seen a million times, getting chills every single time. This is one of the most powerful perfomances of Band and crowd!

Damn, I love this reaction. Such a lot of silent tells, they way how you look up during the part "there is death waiting outside, not heroism" as a perfect example. God bless you

Amazing band...the song is very emotional...The Drummer is amazing, the singer have powerful.voice, great reaction 🤘🔥

That show was the best show i've ever been at. Sabaton has this amazing ability to engage the crowd, and during this song i stod with constant goosebumps and tears in my eyes. It was magical!

That´s exactly how I feel listening to this song. I´m from Sweden and they don´t even know how right they are. Keep it up my man

Konungens likfärd or it's English counterpart Long Live the King is one you need to react to. It gets me right in the feels every time.

Thank you for your service

A genuine reaction! Loved it! This is definitely one of the best reactions I’ve seen by anyone!! 😍 Hope you’ll have a great rest of the weekend now! 🙏🏻🥰

Music really has the power to unite. A song like this can affect all of us, no matter where we live and what our own stories may be. This song has been my favourite of the entire Carolus Rex album since it realeased, it really is an emotional gut punch. And I want to thank you for your honesty in this reactions. I believe emotions are a powerful thing and shouldn't be hidden but shared. And I enjoyed being able to share this amazing song with you through your reaction. :) I wasn't at this specific concert but I was at a concert sometime after the release of the Carolus Rex album and when they played this song, the whole audience joined in and we sang the whole first verse as well. It was a very magical and powerful experience for sure.

Check out, Sabaton 40 - 1 (live at Woodstock Festival 2012). Epic stuff, you won't regret it.

Was there. It just about a week before things started to shut down, so last concert for over 1 year now. I keep coming back to all reactions to this song, hopefully things can go back to normal soon 🤘. The song might be about the 30 year war during the 1600s specifically but the core theme is timeless.

Thank you for giving us your reaction. I'm from Sweden and I really like this song. Your reaction makes it even more impactful... a tear or several was shed watching you. The comment you said about "the last flight home" really broke me.

That smile turning into sadness hits hard dawg, thank you for your service man

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gets emotional listening to this song.

Your reactions are overall the strongest!!! Not only this one...but all I heard from Sabaton so far

I was there, it was the best evening in my life

This is energy from sabaton . The world needs sabaton..primo Victoria from polen Woodstock next pls

I was there, somewhere in the middle! It was intense! \m/ :). This was right before covid really hit. Thank you for your service from Sweden.

Pretty powerful right =) great that you checked it out!!!! awesome reaction as usual!

I was there, most amazing, magical feeling in the crowd when people started singing along. Last show I managed to attend before covid hit, it was on Valentines day even, best v-day ever! Great reaction bud, glad you're enjoying your Sabaton adventure. Also, when it comes to emotional songs, you should definitely check out 'The Final Solution', about the holocaust.

Sweden here, thank you for this one.....RESPECT

Many hugs to you from Sweden

I love this song, I love your reactions, I love war history - lest we forget. ❤ I really like the variety of your reactions from acapella to metal. 👌🏻

I´ve seen them live like 6-7 times here in Sweden. Usually on their own festival "Sabaton open air". This happens everytime.. and its fricking beautiful. Thank you for your service! much love from Sweden!

I was there 🇸🇪🇸🇪👊

Respect for a beautiful reaction. And great speech. The best one I've seen. Hope you live a long and beautiful life, kind regards from a swede.

Thank you for your service. Much respect to the Corps from USAF.

I'm up there to the left and it was an amazing show. Always makes me emotional when I listen to this song and it feels good seeing you like that too

All the people in attendance on that set represent more people than they will ever imagine. I can't and I won't try to put it in words. If you know, you know.

I accidentally got your reaction in my recommendations. Respect to you for your service. Kabul 86-88, 103 Guards Airborne Brigade.

When I seen the tear dripping down I knew you got it and did same myself when I listen to it

This song always brings tears to my eyes, but when you understand the lyrics is just impossible to not cry. At least to me. 😭 Greetings from Brazil.🇧🇷

Thank`s for a great reaction, you have a lot of songs to go...Sabaton are something else...

OHHHH SABATON ARE SO GREAT. MY SUPER HEROS🔥💥🔥💥🤘🤘 THANK YOU💕SABATON's drummer Hannes van Dahl is married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish🥰

This was one of the last live shows they did before the pandemic, was working just outside and was so bummed I couldn't join the crowd inside. Could feel the atmosphere throughout the city, was a nice evening for sure. :)

I don't think that I can say anything that somebody haven't said before, but I will need to say: thank you for your service! Love from Sweden.

love that honest reaction from you bruh!... love from sweden here

Amazing reaction video!

God Bless you for your service❤❤❤❤Thank you so much for this song!!

About 40,000 in this crowd i think. Suggest ' No Bullets Fly' next the animated version. Another emotional one. BTW have you checked out the Sabaton history channel yet?

"Because war can destroy a man."

Went to their concert last year here in Stockholm, Sweden. This song.... ❤

Thanks for sharing your personal experience and thoughts! Great reaction! And respect to all the all the veterans from different countries. Thanks for your service!

This song always gives me chills and makes me tearfilled, such an powerful song

Greetings from a very proud Swede!! 😊😊😍😍

As a Swede, i’ve had a few of my friends.(i’ve never been) being harrassed(?) by the past of Afghanistan. So Thank you for you service sir. You did great. And your country is i debt to you. Have a great day my friend!

I was there, one of the best monents at any concert ever! Thank you❤️

Thank you for your Service, and made a difference for my family. Kind regards from Sweden 🌍

Good honest reaction to a powerful and emotional song. I am swedish and and it hits hard, but fact is..and you showed this, I think this song can refer to ANY soldier in any war. Respect to you, stay safe

I was at this show ( sitting in the middle of the platform on the left from this view of the stage) and it was a pure magic show. Sadly this was just before covid started canceling shows ( had for once planned around 5 shows and 1 festival)

i tear up when i see Joakim bow to the crowd as they sing, the respect he shows his fans is just awesome

I was there and it was amazing! Even better live ❤👍

In this video when Sabaton play the song i feel that Joakim (the singer) do his best to come on those dead soldiers's place who died and forgotted by history (if this is what song talks about)... but when you hear the lyrics multiplied by hundreds (how big the crowd is?) you feel more than respect from the crowd to those dead soldiers. You feel that the crowd transforms the song into some kind of hymn and then the crowd transforms its self into those dead soldiers. You hear and feel the voices of those dead soldiers like the crowd was a cemetery and the dead who resurrected are those dead soldiers. I think i couldn't comment in other words.

Nice and emotional reaction, the song is about the so called 30year war 1618-1648 but the lyrics sadly applies even today. Haven't followed your reactions so I don't know which Sabaton songs you already dug into but for live audiance check out live videos from Woodstock (Poland) around 550.000 in the audiance. For songs closer to home (US) check Devil Dogs or 82nd all way. Also if noone has mentioned, Sabaton has a history channel here on RU-vid, check it out if you want the history behind their songs. Cheers from Sweden

Just found your Chanel and you felt this song for what it is and that is beautiful and truthful. Sabaton is a great band that really tells history and emotions and lots of recruits and soldiers listen to this band 🙏🏼💙🇸🇪

You're a hero, bro. 👍

Thank you for your Service. Love from Sweden!
