"Although on the TaunT channel I do already reaction videos, it was time to do some solo as well. Over here I can choose myself (at TaunT I never know what is coming) and I can go deeper into the lyrics from a mental health perspective . I will primarily react as a mom but I am also bringing my years as a mental health counselor on the table"
Most of all, I would love to react to all kinds of music and hope you will offer suggestions for songs you think I need to react to DM me on instagram.

The last one … I was a bit afraid of doing this one , but I am glad I did .
Thank you for all the request and the nice comments and all the love ❤
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
And be honest … did you know about the two countries that have Christmas in January instead of now?
The first time I saw this video, the moment that leaped out at me with strongest emotion and chills was the closing scene where Par is carving "2021" in the cross and not "1914." For me, it echoed back immediately to the line in the chorus, "Our moment of peace in a war that never ends." Par is subtly reminding us, with the current date in the carving, that that war STILL has not ended. And probably never will. 😢

@MommaTaunT. Thank you for your sincerity, and kindness. I wish you a very Merry Christmas (as best as you can) - everyone is deserving of some joy in their life. I do know of the two countries which traditionally do not celebrate Christmas on Dec 25, but on Jan 7. One of those countries is now moving to celebrating on Dec 25 (so as to no longer be the same as the other country), and I too have close family in that country for whom Christmas shall not be as joyous as previous years - likely spent mostly in the dark and cold (ave 4 hours of electricity per day), not knowing when the next attack will come. I hope for the ongoing safety of all those innocents at risk, and that this war shall end soon. 🎄🎅🎁🔔❄ 🙏4☮
❤️
As I know On January 7, Christmas is celebrated in countries with the Orthodox Christian religion, these are Russia, Serbia, Georgia, partly Ukraine, Greece, Belarus and some Eastern European countries.
in my opinion they are modern royal bards celebrating the heroics and sacrifices made through the history and they do it with respect.
Many of the Men experiancing the Truce refused to fight the next day. Some went back to killing each other of course but a lot of them had to be reassined to another front in order to be part of the War again. It is not easy to kill someone you called friend just hours prior.
I went down late in the day on the 24th, struck in the engine I could not press on. My crate nosed over into shell hole, I came to much later. I could do nothing but hide, the madness of no-mans land reigns terror on those caught in it. Darkness fell, and an eternity lay before me as I plotted my way out. But something happened that night, a soul deafening silence fell upon the front, followed soon by a single voice in song. Not believing what I was hearing, I peered over the mangled wings covering my hole. I saw a single man, standing above the trenches, hands behind his back, singing as though his humanity depended on it. It filled me with a chill the night and snow could not give. Then more of his comrades stood to join him, and they walked onward, slowly and un-armed. I heard a heavy Scottish voice say; "Are ye a'right lad?". A highlander with his pipes was standing aside my hole, his hand extended. Without a thought, I responded: "Shaken, but not dead."
"It's Christmas, Lad. C'mon."
I stood, and took his hand for help from the hole. Around me I saw what could be described as a wonderous occasion. Men of all sides stood in the desolation, talking in what tongues they knew as though there was no war. There was no hate, no blood, no malice, only cordial respect and humanity. I wondered then, what we were fighting these men for. It struck me then, that each of us had a job to do, but tonight we all refused to do that job and simply be human. The voices rose again in song, and the piper played as we walked to the gathering. I couldn't help but feel that there was hope for us afterall, that we are all the same, no matter our uniforms, our rifles, or our futures. Tonight is Christmas, tonight we sing.
-Manfred von Schreiber.
The soldiers of the truce were reluctant to go back to fighting. Many were moved to other locations away from their new friends on the other side.
Both sides had to rotate in different troops because those that participated in the Truce spend more time trying to shoot the sun from the sky then aiming at the "enemy" across from them.
It took Sabaton years to perfect this song. The fact they want their songs to be as accurate as possible and that show respect to both sides with out taking sides say a hell of alot about them as a group and as individuals.
Exactly
In a way Hitler/Officers was right this shouldn't have never happened. But it did. I can't imagine socializing with someone that I was just trying to kill moments before.
Thank you for the video, I'm from Russia and I cry too every time I hear this song, this war is a terrible mistake that has claimed thousands of lives for no reason and it should stop as fast as possible. I wish for a peaceful sky for everyone.
Merry Christmas
Спасибо и позаботьтесьn❤️
I hope war ends soon
Rest at ease, friend, it's not your fault. Let's hope peace will find its way through malicious orders given by greedy leaders. Stay safe, wherever you are.
I'm glad you did watch and react to this video. Sending you much love and a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you ❤
If you didn't know, the first one up the ladder is Floor from nightwish's husband. She also sings ending credits.
the moment she hear Floor start singing is priceless. "wait? I've heard this before"
Merry Christmas, there's a monument in Belgium for this event. Christmas 1914.
That's Floor Jansen of Nightwish singing the outra. She's married to the drummer of Sabaton. Hannes, the blond in the beginning that gets blown up and walks into no man's land.
It's never the people that want a war, it's never the soldiers who want the war, but it's always the leaders that make them go to war. Also, he who doesn't learn fromthe past is doomed to repeat it. Looking back is never a bad thing as long as you don't linger in the past. I am a major history nerd and I love digging through all the material that is at hand and I know ther are so many lessons to be learned and Sabaton is doing a great job telling me stories I have never heard of and make me want to dig even deeper. Thank you for the great reaction and I hope the conflict will be over soon
Thank you ❤️
old men will talk yong men will die
That's right, but be aware also that alot of history has been twisted and manipulated to fit the narrative of the victor and the forces who make it all happen- it takes alot of digging to get a clearer more truthful picture of what goes on in this world and who and what the real controlling hands are- we live in a world of lies and deceit from the powers that should not be- Sabaton did a great job with this music and video- very emotional !!
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. This song shows real humanity .
I hope your next day, week, year ... is better than last week (before this upload) ... Best wishes to you, your family, relatives in UA AND RU. Please keep true to your style.
Greetings from Ghent , Flanders, Belgium ... roughly 30 km from the frontline in Flanders Fields.
You DID this song justice, no worries.
And although you don't seem to celebrate this year, still... Merry christmas, and thank you ❤
Thank you ❤️
I am over the moon 🤗🤗🤗
My wife, to be thru 32 YEARS 🥰, has given me a ticket to SABATON live in Copenhagen next April 🥰🥰🥰
She is not that happy for metal, but she doesn't mind me going there!!
How come I have been this fortunate to find her, to be my lifescompanion 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰
What a great comment to start my morning with ! Indeed you have a great wife , that is so sweet of her, and you must have been a great husband too to get this lovely present ! I guess you deserve each other 😉. Have a great time in April and both much love an happiness for the year to come 🙏❤️
@@MommaTaunT 🥰🥰thanks a million 🥰🥰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Sabaton - History in the form of music. World of Warships and Sabaton, is mandatory :)
This is one of the best recent Christmas songs. An emotional true story and a powerful video shot in Chech. And then there's is Floor. 💗👸. Merry Christmas! 🎅👍
❤️🎄
@@MommaTaunT🎍
Sabaton have a fantastic team behind them fact checking all the historical themes for songs, this was an event that occurred along about 22 miles of the Front line, it happened when different groups of soldiers sang carols to keep up their spirits, these were heard by the other side and led to a truce (unofficial) along the front, afterwards many could not pick up their guns again and 3 days afterwards were replaced with fresh troops on both sides. Officially nothing was done though many were treat as deserters afterwards, the order went to both sides that should it happen again all involved would be shot for desertion, such a sad ending to a moment of clarity in one of the worst wars (in terms of fatalities) ever. This song gets me every single time I hear it, I wish all a wonderful Yuletide
Thank you
We need more Moms in this world. Thank you.
❤️
I can't get over how effective this is. From the incredible Music and great production.
Very Strong from SABATON 🤘
Christmas Truce was
the Most
Beautiful Christmas Carol 2021 for me....
We're all.....

Joakim asked, we need a singer....
Oh says Hannes I have one at home 🏡🌸
Yes Floor sang on the credits
Nice response from you 🌹
Wish you all Happy Holidays
with lovely people around you.
Dear regards from Volendam 🙋🏼♀️🦋
There are a couple of other songs in the States that are similar to this one:
1) Belleau Wood by Garth Brooks
2) Snoopy and the Red Baron (based on the comic book series by Charles Schultz)
Both songs are excellent Christmas songs, as this one is. It is a lesson of history we should never forget, that even in the darkest of times, whether in the air (see: No Bullets Fly by Sabaton), or in the trenches, that as long as even one person holds onto hope, then the darkness can never overtake the light. That even in the most hellish of warzones, all it takes is one soldier to put down his rifle on Christmas and say, "Today....today is Christmas. Today I am not fighting. Today, shall be a day of peace."
Lest we forget.
And to all those who read this, no matter where you are or what you believe, I very joyfully wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Cheers from America!
Great reaction! Greetings from a big Sabaton fan from Murmansk, The Russian Federation! Keep up the great work! The next song I wanna suggest from Sabaton is The Race To The Sea which is great song too to be perfectly honest with ya... It is about the Belgian forses to flood the river in order to stop germans from advansing further and hep them to defend the last peace of Belgium in the battle of Yaser, as far as I rememeber))
Thank you !
@@MommaTaunT you're welcome!)
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Peace on Earth to all.
Thank you 🎄
Carol of the Bells, the inversion of which he plays in the intro, was written by a Ukrainian composer... in 1914. The year of the Christmas Truce. He plays it inverted to show that, between when Carol of the Bells was released, and the Christmas Truce - the world had turned upside down.
It also has a very old (Ukrainian) root: 'Sçedryk', a folk song about the hope of coming spring.
When I hear this song I remember as if it was yesterday, when as a little boy I always went to my great-grandpa after school and he told me stories from the wars just like in the song. He had to fight both world wars as a soldier. His stories were mostly as moving as your song. Thanks to you I can see him in front of me and hear his voice. Thank you very much for this epic journey through time. His name was Paul, rest in peace .
Merry Christmas to all. What a wonderful and sad Song.😞 And then the outro from Floor. I mean, it is a Masterpiece.
Wish you a merrier end of the holiday. Take care of yourself MommaTaunT. Best wishes from Sweden!
🤓🇸🇪🇺🇦🕊🇷🇺
Same to you!❤
Fine words to end with. Merry Christmas to you and your family and I hope the New Year provides you all with love and peace you deserve. X
Thank you ❤
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece which is so relevant in these times. We told you to bring your tissues!
Merry Christmas and hope for better times ahead for both you and the World.
Thank you ❤
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Never forget the soldiers of the Great war🤘
Beautiful reaction. Thank you ❤
❤️
We also Reacted to this and it was amazing! Great Reaction! Merry Christmas!
Thank you , merry Christmas to you too
Go Sabaton, Go Floor!!!!
Thank you so much for this raktion! The last time i saw that emotional review was a Mother from Australian who did a reaktion for her son on ANZAC Day for the Song "Gallipoli".....maybe you know what that means for the Australians
Thank you
Great job, Much Peace & love to you , Merry Christmas
Thank you so much ❤
yeah give helloween s keeper of the seven keys a try (live at the pumpkins united concert) all past singers present on stage genre defining song. That band did an anniversary album after i think 25 or 30 years of existence where they played their songs in jazz versions or with children choirs etc. Which shows they are great musicians just as you said here. So if people come up with doing power metal helloween is the birthplace for it. Very melodic sometimes fun and cheesy and a great voice / great voices
👍😊 thank you!
das absolut beste Video ever der letzten Zeit
Good observations - living in the present is so hard because we are always pressed to spend all our time regretting or being nostalgic for the past, and fearing or hoping for the future. Actually looking at the _reality_ of the past makes it easier to accept the good and the bad so we can get on with our lives right now, hopefully making more informed decisions - making the days count, as you say.
"Lest we forget" (from the poem Recessional, one of the very few pieces from Queen Victoria's Jubilee to oppose self-aggrandisement; it's about the impermanence of every Empire) may as well be Sabaton's motto. It's a worthy pursuit which has led to some great songs, making the information more accessible, and that's a very positive thing. All the best - hope 2023 is a good year for you.
Songs like these shows how powerful metal music really can be .
Merry Xmas and a happy 2023 and remember…all you need is love and good music!
Wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas from here in Newfoundland (it's 1:30am here). I've been having a rough week myself, had to bow out of supper with my family because of a stomach flu, so it's just me and my Beagle (support dog).
So sorry to hear that !! I wish you well! 🎄
A very Good Yule, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you. War is hell and may they some time all end. They make us all cry.
The cool thing is in 1 spot the truce lasted until new years
God Bless you Momma. Merry Christmas.
❤️🎄
And to think that there is also a trench war raging right now. It would be wonderful if there was also a Christmas peace and lasted indefinitely
Exactly that ❤
Merry Christmas, NY. Here!
They didn't just go back to fighting the day after this. They were tortured, executed, court-marshalled, and everything else nasty you can think of to force them or the soldiers around them to pick up arms again. The soldiers at this point of the war were not conscripts, they were volunteers. On both sides. After this truce (at several locations along the lines, but not all), the commanders simply cancelled holiday celebrations for the rest of the conflict so that peace wouldn't break out again.
we should always pray for peace
This truce was not on the whole front. The Pope of that time had asked for a truce, but the leaders wouldn't have it. So at some places at the front the soldiers themselves stopped fighting and met in nomans land. After that had happened. The command had to relocate the men that had put there rifles down. Because the soldiers who had 'fraternised' with the 'enemie', were not able to fight the men they had met. To me that is telling me so much about humanity. And knowing that it makes this song even stronger en more meaningfull. It is a song of hope. And that is at the moment the only thing we can hold on to. So I hope all out lives willl get better.
It’s a true story
🥰 Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays from the tropics. Wishing happiness, safety, and peace for the future
❤️🎄
Merry Yule, Mom! If you get the chance for a laugh watch "The Goff Rocker: 'Ere we go" for a great Christmas parody! Made my whole family laugh!😁
I'll check it out!

Since you are a jazz singer I hope you have discovered Angelina Jordan already. But if not, she is a simply stunningly talented jazz singer from Norway. She is currently 17 years old, but have been singing on a proffesional level since she was 7 years old (when she won "Norway Got Talent" in 2014. (She auditioned with gloomy sunday and ended the competition with a stunning version of summertime...) She has loads of covers and original songs for you to react to on RUclips, and I don't think you will regret doing so. Merry X-mas from Sweden.
Advice for modern American soldiers who want to pull a truce; You wanna pull this in modern times, you say "You're coming in broken and unreadable. Say again." over the radio. Then just stop answering.
Oh, and at your Court Martial: "I heard truce. I didn't hear a no before truce. I asked them to say again. No reply."
Please react to sabaton 1916 thanks 🙏❤️
While yes, this is about winter '14, the current battlefields are actually socially very similar - the European Powers thought of themself in the "Last Summer" of '14 as a cultural unit, politically differentiated, but culturally a unit, estranged brothers but brothers (in the case of the rulers actually truth, they where branches of a family essentially).
And without any condemnation of any side, the current war is socially the same and it might very well end up in it's outcome to be divisive for another 50 years if the Gods are not kind.
Every War in Europe has been like this for the past 1600 years, maybe more, and it is the great tragedy that we mostly fight those who are essentially the same and blow up slight and minor differences in culture and language into hereditary hate...
Seasons Greetings

Wouldn't it be great if every Russian soldier and every Ukrainian soldier could see this video and just say "today we're all brothers, tonight we're all friends" put down their weapons and not pick them up again.
That would be the best thing ever ❤️
And very pertinent to this song as it is based on the "Carol of the Bells" which uses the original melody from "Shchedryk," written by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914.

Hi mom! It seems you haven't heard about Christmas and Ukraine, Ukraine has belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church but Ukraine no longer wants to belong to the Russian Orthodox Church after the highest priest of the Russian Orthodox Church supports and has blessed Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. So the Orthodox Church in Ukraine has moved the Christmas celebration from January 7th to December 25th.
I have a friend in Ukraine that still has Christmas on the 7th , and I do know about the history. The church moved it in November , but not everyone has agreed with that . It’s a mess however you look at it 😥
@@MommaTaunT I heard the other day about this on the Swedish news. I have a friend and she is from Ukraine, although she and her husband moved to my city Kiruna (farthest up in Sweden above the arctic circle), their relatives came from Ukraine and first lived with them before the relatives got help with their own accommodation. Sweden has received many refugees from Ukraine and so has my city Kiruna. It is terrible this is happening in 2022.
I am helping a few here in the Netherlands as well but also have friends in Russia… it’s difficult 😔
@@MommaTaunT Yes, it's not easy and it gets hard when people around the world hate all Russians, thought it wasn't their fault what their dictator has done, but they still get the blame.
@@MommaTaunT I, too, have people close to me who are affected, who have fled both(!) countries to get away from the war. What you said was heart-warming, because all too often, people forget about the common people, the common soldiers, who did not choose to go to war themselves, who don't support their leaders. I've thought about the same thing and I've wished so much for a New Year's Truce (a much more regarded holiday), but I know it won't happen. Thanks for reminding people about the complexities of war and for taking a stance against war and not against ordinary people.
Definitely not the same as the song by Celtic Thunder, but I thought that it was very interesting nonetheless...
Here's the Celtic Thunder song if you're interested. ruclips.net/video/JG3l-OBdcPI/видео.html
