- In this video I will be taking a deep dive into the song "The Carolean's Prayer" by Sabaton. I will be watching four videos including an English lyric video, a Sabaton History, a Swedish Lyric video, and a live performance.

You need to react to "long live the king" by sabaton
Hahaha, I didn't know they made legos and trousers?! This was such a fun reaction video, Touchy!
⠀⠀13:48 - That painting you liked, "Karl XII:s likfärd" ("The Funeral Procession of Charles XII") from 1878, is one of the most well-known pieces of art in Sweden. It depicts how Carolus Rex is brought back to Sweden from Norway by the Carolean soldiers. The Swedish version of the Sabaton song Long Live the King is actually called "Konungens likfärd" ("The Funeral Procession of the King") and you'll learn a little more about its significance in the Sabaton History episode about Long Live the King...
⠀⠀37:09 - Yep, you're correct; that's Thobbe Englund alright!
And, as a side note: Sweden is one of the least religious countries in the Western world and, if I'm not mistaken, surpassed only by Liechtenstein (a microstate with a population of less than ~40k people) and one of the Baltic countries (I don't remember which one, but the most populated of the Baltic states is Lithuania, with its ~1,9 million people) - tiny countries compared to Sweden. So when you see these large Swedish crowds screaming The Lords Prayer, even though religion is kind of a foreign koncept - that's how you know it's a good piece of music.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊
there is a sabaton tank and a great tour stage set from coby blocks. not lego as such but close enough
@@greaper1976 I'd be lying If I said I didn't want a Sabaton tank...
Kings and Generals have done a great and detailed documentary on several battles the Caroleans fought. They would fight almost always outnumbered at least 2:1 but sometimes even worse odds the final part of the Battle of Poltava 10:1. Still they would usually win most battles but sometimes the numbers just made it impossible. During The Great Northern war Sweden would fight Denmark-Norway, Russia, Poland-Lithuainian commonwealth and Saxony. After the tide of war turned Prussia and Hannover (ruled by Great Britain) would also join the coalition against Sweden.
Yes correct.
The kings and generals documentary on the great northern war is one great piece of work with so much detail it’s amazing definitely recommend checking it out if you got the time Touchy. At a battle outside Warsaw in the great northern war the Caroleans smashed a much bigger polish army you can read more here. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Warsaw_(1705)
Yes, you are correct, this was before Tommy and Hannes. By the look of it, it's the members that played at woodstock poland 2012.
So it's Thorbjörn "Thobbe" Englund (you were close) on left side guitar, and I think it's Robban Bäck on drums.
Always great with your deep dive😊.
Thank you M
Nice, one of my favorite songs and eras, theres so many nice stories about swedish army. You were asking about new sabaton history episodes, indy posted to instagram day or two ago that they made new stories
Yay!!!
As usual a great deep dive. This one is an important part of Swedish history, and it is really great. But I just wonder: Is it only I that hear strong influences of REO Speedwagons "Can't Fight This Feeling" in the verse?
Thanks Niklas. I'll have to listen for that next time.
studio version of the album is recorded with the original guitarists and drummer (and keyboard player) but they left basically right after they had recorded the album and was replaced with thobbe englund and chris rörland on guitars and by robban bäck on drums. by the time sabaton was about to go into the studio to record next album after carolus rex, robban bäck had left so he has no album credits with sabaton besides the swedish empire tour in support of the carolus rex album
Ohhh...I really thought you had done the whole Carolus Rex album??!!
According to me...this is one of their best albums ever since the whole album is so tight written and flows from the birth unto the end of the Swedish empire.
Sadly he’s not reacting to it in chronological order but it’s good nonetheless.
@@melkor3496 Of course it's 👍.
Mayby by favourite song by them 🤘
Drummers name is Robban bäck and he’s pretty incredible shame he’s not still in the band but Hannas is definitely perfect too haha
HAHA? wtf is that?
Oops I wrote too soon you did it nice.
May I suggest always reacting to each song in the Swedish empire album both in Swedish version (with English subtitles) and the English version like you did in this video from now on? The reason I ask this is because the Swedish versions always have a more personal point of view while the English are more a general view of something. You’ll notice huge differences if you react to both English and Swedish versions in the Swedish empire album. The songs in both versions of each song is about the same thing but completely different point of views and as such the song is very different in both versions.
Each song in the Swedish empire album has a English and Swedish version except for Ruiina Imperii which is the last song in the album.
I'm glad you liked it
@@TouchyReactions Yes I do.
Just gotta say once you get to the last song Ruiina imperii which you hopefully do last in the album well that song is only in Swedish so get a vid with English subtitles which shouldn’t be too hard.
I'm also an atheist and my favourite part of this song is the Lord's prayer part. I sing along to my hearts content, I see it as a thing the Caroleans said, not me praying.
Good point
If you have listened to the song Carolus Rex, you might understand why the soldiers thought they were doing gods work
I get it. Belief in gods will always be used by the powerful to get the less powerful to do their bidding.
@@TouchyReactions Well Carolus was fighting alongside the less powerful and he himself was as devouted in god if not more than most others.
@@melkor3496 True, he was highly respected by his soldiers for fighting on their side and even deciding to sleep in a normal tent on a soldiers bed instead of a "luxury bed" in a bigger tent and more stuff like that
No doubt about that. I respect that.
Carolus Rex imo is Sabaton's best album. Still. And that's despite some of the other albums being excellent in their own right, I think this one is still the one with the highest overall quality of songs. There's not a song on it which I don't like, as opposed to other albums where there's always a few that I feel are filler.
As for the history, well some of the other Sabaton History pieces talk about other songs. But there's a reason why the Swedish way of war wasn't adopted by other armies no matter how efficient it was for a time. And that reason is also on the album.
On an entirely incidental note for computer gamers familiar with the Civilization series, the latest version includes the Swedish civilisation with it's special unit being The Carolean. Including a possible quote from this song (although I think it's actually a historical quote, used on the song as well as in the game).
Tim, thanks for sharing this with us ❤️
SWEDISH EMPIRE Finally.
Sorry it took so long.
After all looking through the 70 video long playlist for Sabaton. I noticed that somehow Purple heart hasn't been done.
I don't know if this one has managed to stay under the radar or you're just keeping for the last.
Either way, to me it's in my top 5 & giving how close this song could be to you as someone who served and lickely knew people who received a purple heart. I really want to see you react to it.
And who knows, you might learn something knew about it. After all, there are few who know how old it actually is.
I've put it in the Patreon polls but it keeps losing
The songs not the one that's losing. It's the voters.
😆 🤣
I believe Indy has been busy getting married for the past few months, you can imagine how the planning must have been when the dude lives in Sweden, works in Germany and his family is from USA and with pandemic... They are also working on a massive special coverage for D Day as they approach it on their WW2 channel with weekly videos (which i wholeheartedly recommend to check out, although it is probably not best reaction content as it is a series of over 200 videos by now, not counting all the specials and other series on the channel). So yeah I can't wait for the new Sabaton History videos myself, but Indy is a busy guy.
That makes sense
@@TouchyReactions Dont worry one should be out within a month and a half. They will come just have Patiance. :)
Plenty of things to watch in the meantime
Ha Ha! Does this historian teller actually live in Sweden???? His Swedes language skills are flawless! ...Well, at least the few words that he actually say in Swedish .
Anyway - The Carolus Rex album is to this date , according to me, the most majestic Sabaton has done so far! "Gå På Sabaton" = March on Sabaton!!!
Oh ! Hannes Van Dahl didnt join Sabaton until 2013 . This is Robban Bäck . Also one of the guitarrists was changed . Tommy Johansson joined 2016 . Before that (in this clip ) it was Thobbe Englund playing the guitarr in Sabaton (together with present member Chris Rörland)
Indy is an American Swedish, as in he is an American that became a Swedish citizen. So yeah, he lives in Sweden.
He sure does. I remember one day at the central train station in Stockholm. I was trying to connect to the wifi of one of the trains and in my phone Indy Neidell's iPhone popped up. I couldn't see him on the platform though, so I suppose he was on one of the nearby trains 'cause the signal was strong enough.
Behind the scenes on how Sabaton made the marching in the end of the songs 🤭
ruclips.net/video/_n0Ihhl7o5Q/видео.html
Poltava is a great song from this album
Cheers from Sweden. Remember that swedish warfare was epic at its high time Gustaf Adolf II made artillery mobile to move with infantry advancement a thing also using cavalry to move light infantry around the battlefield on the back of the rider. In this case Charles the XII or more like is father and grandfather veterans of 30 years war made a very tight and highly trained army. While bringing in faith as a pillar of disciplin remember this was back when faith was the most important thing apart from ffin and eating. The thing is Sweden wasnt very populated apart from the baltic states that joined sweden we where very poor in case of population. So every soldier had to have the grim warlike personality of enduring all even godlessness. So faith and big anual trainings werte common to drill the poor swedes into deadly vikings(American woke transaltion). The marching into war until u see the white in their eyes are exactly what swedish trooopers did. They knew accuracy of that time of weapons didnt reacy good enough kill distance until like 50 metres . So they kept marchin g then only shot once and ataacked. That same tactic the redcoats of England incorporated.
Thanks Peo, I could understand just fine.
TBH there is a Live version in swedish with reeneators on stage that at the end of the song the officers turns out to be Chartles The XII.
Nice reaction video.
Thank you 😁
Wooh
The Caroleans view on gods role was actually quite fatalistic. They had the view that god had already decided who would live and die, and so there was no real reason to worry oneself about it. Quite different from thinking god would protect them.
Intriguing
@@TouchyReactions Well I was a bit quick to answer and realised it was covered later in the video.
This is after the thirty years war
Thanks Minna
The word "ock" in the lords prayer is actually spellt wrong, it should be spellt "och", how did this happend????
Nope, "och" means "and" while "så ock" is another way of saying "också"(also/aswell)
