    I apologize for not having my usual cheerful disposition...
    This song put a lot into perspective, and made me feel very somber about the state of the world at the moment. I appreciate so much what Sabaton did for us: finding moments of solidarity and brotherhood despite the violence and destruction that occurred in 1914. Sadly, this is still true in current day and is a reminder to love one another. I appreciate you all for recommending me this song. I am already a fan of Sabaton after listening to this. It really touched me in such a sad and beautiful way. Much love to you all!

      Aileen, I think you felt the way you did because anyone who sees humanity's potential knows that in the vast majority of cases, war is insufferable, and senseless.
      Just look at Ukraine, and how they're now talking about the possibility of nuclear war -- something that was avoided during the Cold War. We never crossed that line. Yet, now, there is the talk that Putin could possibly launch nukes against NATO because of the war in Ukraine.
      Yet, at the end of this video, the cross has etched and carved into it, "Lest We Forget." I believe this is a variation of, "Those who don't remember history, are condemned to repeat it."
      It is why, for me, I say: Never forget. Never again.

    Politicians start wars. Soldiers have to fight those wars. The guitar sounded like wails of anguish and pain. This is not just a Christmas song. In 2014, Sabaton began writing this song. They do not pick sides in the conflicts they put to music. They are factual and try to get it right. It took them 7 years before they were happy with the outcome, and I think Floor singing the outro was perfect.

      They did, and it was a great complement to the more positive feeling moments of the song. And both of them need to be there. Since I mean, there's a reason we know about the truce despite all mention of it being officially suppressed: For a lot of soldiers, it was remembered far too fondly and powerfully for them to just forget about it.
      One of the soldiers actually wrote in a letter home that he "wouldn't have missed the experience of yesterday for the most gorgeous Christmas dinner in England."
      Considering most of the forces present were low on supplies (including food) and essentially existed in a constant state of wet misery, if even one of them said they wouldn't have left that hell to go home if it meant missing out on the truce that has to be a testament to just how special the whole experience must have been. He wrote that while still posted at the front, so it's not like it was a case of twenty-year hindsight while being interviewed in his own home. He was still out in the miserable hell that was the trench line in winter, freezing his ass off.

    The interesting part is the song he's playing on piano is "Carol of the Bells" aka the Ukrainian Bell Carol, and he plays it in a minor key so it sounds sad and mournful, then switches it to a major key to sound hopeful.

    You know the saddest thing I find about this song? If there had been no war and you had just grabbed these men from their homes and dropped them in some field in France or Belgium for Christmas 1914, they would have got along, they would have kicked balls around, cooked food at campfires, drunk anything they could find and generally had a good time even if they mostly could not understand each other. I think the same goes for any group of random men from anywhere on Earth. Instead they had the thought of returning to war very soon in their minds the whole time. Politicians start these wars, WW1 cost 15 to 20 million lives, half civilian. Those people who fought in the war did not need to be enemies.

    It's not obvious whether you realised, but this song is about an event that actually happened. British and German troops spontaneously stopped fighting each other on Christmas Eve 1914. It only happened once. In December 1915, the British troops were told in no uncertain terms that anyone found fraternising with the enemy would be arrested and court-martialled. If a soldier was found guilty, the most likely outcome would have been the firing squad.
    For more Sabaton, I'd recommend Night Witches (there's an animated video for this song that's super cool) or Uprising live in Warsaw (this song is about the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, and this performance in Warsaw was so special).

    The sound is not really typical of Sabaton, they do have softer slower songs, but most of the time it's power metal. The themes however are always based on real events or people from war history, and they even have a separate channel with history lessons for many of their songs. This is not an exception, it actually took place during the first Christmas during WW1. This song is so emotional (and Floor Jansen at the end is just the final touch to tie it all together. Another reactor I saw mentioned that the chord progression of Carol of the bells are reversed from the classic Christmas Carol in the begining, that's why it feels a bit ominous and "wrong". Later during the short truce, they play the original. Many of the soldiers that took part of the real even this is based on had to be moved to different front lines since they apparently intentionally missed and refused to try and kill the people they drank, ate and sang Christmas carols with the day before. It's such a fascinating, surreal and and the same time hopeful events in history. The soldiers on both sides of the trenches just decided, with no official truce being called, for one day to stop the madness and experience some humanity, if only for a short time.
    If you want another emotional song from them try the live version of En livstid i krig in Gothenburg (song is in Swedish but it has a translation in the subtitles.

    This song, along with the superb video, is transcendent, for me it raises Sabaton onto a unique level. It, like most of their songs, reflects real historical events, and it does so with accuracy, emotion and thoughtfulness. By this point in WW1, Christmas 1914, hundreds of thousands had died or been maimed, huge armies were stalemated in terrible winter conditions and the realities of modern, industrialised war were just beginning to sink in, this is humanity at its lowest ebb, the selfish, violence our species is prone towards in stark detail. But for a few precious days soldiers on both sides of the trenches paused, an instant where basic compassion shone through and men on both sides took incredible risks to pause the fighting and reflect in shared companionship and brotherhood, this shows the best of humanity, the capacity to come together in the darkest of times and show compassion for our fellow beings, regardless of the hate and pain underlying everything. Then Sabaton demonstrates how humanity can rise to the highest level of artistic inspiration, capturing in composition a range of incredible emotions which transcend simple classification and become something truly memorable and beautiful.

    Sabaton has their own history channel on RUclips were they tell the story behind the songs because most of their songs are based on true stories.

    Hello, @AileenSenpai!
    Christmas Truce...what a great introduction to Sabaton. It's not their typical sound, but so well done.
    If you enjoyed them, I encourage you to look into Tommy Johannson here on RUclips. He's one of Sabaton's guitarists, and he's got quite the voice. Lately, I've been listening to his Gary Moore covers, but his "Disneyton" songs are fun, too.
    Some Recommendations by Tommy:
    -You Raise Me Up (One Octive Challenge)
    -Swedish Pagans (Disneyton)
    -Over the Hills and Far Away (Gary Moore)
    -Out In the Fields (Gary Moore)
    To your point about metal not being just angry: I've never seen an artist smile as much as Tommy. He's a joy to watch.
    Metal is for everyone!
    Rock on, ma'am.
    Edit: Correcting song titles.

    Kudos for catching just who did the vocals at the end. Not every reactor recognizes her - let alone watches the credits.
    With Sabaton, however, I strongly recommend to ALWAYS watch their music videos to the every end. They like hiding little easter-eggs in there.
    Two recommendations from me: No Bullets Fly and Night Witches - the animated story videos specifically. Those were done in collaboration with yarnhub and provide a lot of additional context to the events behind these songs.
    Apart from these, I recommend Bismarck, The Last Stand, Winged Hussars, Blood of Bannockburn, and Dreadnought.

    One of the most epic and beautiful work of arts I have ever listened to and watched. Most Sabaton songs are based on actual military events. This song is about a miraculous event in WW1 where troops on Christmas Eve started singing Christmas carols to each other resulting in an unofficial truce and them meeting in no man's land to exchange presents, play football, and to share food. I really connect emotionally to this song, especially Floor's soaring vocals. This song really captures that brotherhood of arms that us veterans share with one another. That bittersweet feeling you get is the combination of the pride you feel for you and your comrades sacrifice on the behalf of others combined with the grief and sadness that comes with the loss of those closest to you in order to protect the innocent.

    Sabaton is a hard rock band that turns music into real events in various wars throughout history. Several here on youtube who react to Sabaton's songs say that they are learning history at the same time. Sabaton also has Sabaton History here on RUclips. Where you take up the real stories that are the background to Sabaton's songs. Sabaton has the help of real historians who bring out all the facts about various events. so everything they sing about has really happened and is not a fabrication.

    I would suggest from then Winged Hussars (Live - The Great Tour - Warsaw). They are an amazing live band and the best feel comes when they perform songs that are about the country they are in and Winged Hussars were from Poland. Also during these times in the world I know you're cautious like you should and do some research behind the songs you react to so that there's no unwanted praising towards certain invaders at the moment 🙂
    Also the new album released early March is their most diverse album stylistically. While having the familiar sound for the band the songs vary from the "usual" Sabaton style wich is somewhat power metal(ish). For example the Christmas Truce is Waltz wich is kinda different from power metal 😅

    Sabaton is an incredible band. They're my favorite metal band and they have a number of both somber and high energy songs. Some of their songs I would highly recommend listening to - as a reaction or on your own - are "No Bullets Fly", "Night Witches", "Resist and Bite", "40:1", "Screaming Eagles", "A Ghost In The Trenches". Some more somber songs of theirs that are more in line with this would be "Price Of A Mile", "Uprising", "The Final Solution", "A Lifetime of War", "Soldier of Heaven", "Great War", "Inmate 4859" and the "To Hell And Back" music video.
    I'm sure you've already been told, but all their songs are about actual historical events, and they have a history channel, Sabaton History, that goes into the stories behind a lot of their songs.

    Great Reaction, Sabaton is the best way to learn about history. also 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. Sabaton has their very own "Sabaton History Channel" on youtube for this song ruclips.net/video/LJq64dF5ZfQ/видео.html also Paul McCarthy did a song on this topic "Pipe of Peace" (1983) - ruclips.net/video/TwyFTRGiIUU/видео.html
