This one is pretty good. My personal favorite was the version made by Reinaeiry. Her vocals were amazing but it is a very different style from this one.
The original is actually pretty great too. Its just this nice hippie-ish bible song. Like the sort of thing a children's choir would sing at a charity fundraiser ya know?
I've heard the original and one other cover, by Vinny Marchi. His voice is very different to Jonathan's - sweet and clean, extending up to countertenor. The end credits show that Jonathan did the instrumentation for Vinny, so I guess you could say that he's covered this twice.....?
Ngl as an Oh Hellos fan, this cover slaps hard. They have so many songs that so hard (New River is a song that slaps) so many would be such cool covers
I love this song in its original format, so I was a little nervous going into this, but it works surprisingly well in Sabaton's style. I don't know what to suggest next, so I'll just say "Keep beating the system, Jon!"
Just shared this with my 73 yr old mom. She gonna snort a line of blood pressure meds and headbang to this all night. Thank you Johnathan. You bring us hours of joy. Deus Vult. Do The Winged Hussars next.
Joakim has that voice that is instantly amazing. He can make anything sound extremely emotional and at the same time can sound like a sailor singing a metal cover of a shanty. Such an underrated band man...
This is amazing. My workout playlists consists of only Sabaton and Jonathan Young songs. Both these people are single handedly keeping me going to stay active. Thank you!
This style of video is great - showing exactly what (I think) a lot of people want to see, which is you performing. IDK what kinds of budgets you needed for the more upscale stuff, but this works just fine for me!
oh this goes absolutely CRAZYYYY YYYY also it had never occurred to me how few lyrics this song has, but how complete it feels still. leave it to mr young to make me appreciate a song in ways the original hadn't done!!!!! thank you!
Also this has just come to me now, I’d LOVE to see a HERO cover from skillet I feel we’ve not seen any skillet covers for AGES!,the music rocks dude ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dang that was good. I think you preserved the spirit of the original song and still channeled your cover inspiration. That is a hard line to tow. Some of your best work!
I obsessed with this song. I loved it originally. I love your version of it. They're very similar but also it's like a whole new song. I'm loving this.
This was fantastic. Especially paired with the fantasy RPG I was playing when my friend shared it to me. Definitely going to be checking out your other stuff now.
This is absolutely amazing. This is truly beautiful two of my favorite bands of all time the oh hellos and Sabaton I didn’t know I wanted this. I did not know I needed this but thank you, John. 🙏
My son started watching the new bay blade series and when the opening played I had to pause what I was doing! I'm glad your able to do songs for shows!
Honestly? I love songs by the Oh Hellos and the longest Johns, and having a metal version of that would honestly be a dream I didn't know I had I also particularly liked how you kept the folkness of it in the beat and rhythm, so it leans more into the chant. Excellent choice
Lyrics There will come a soldier Who carries a mighty sword He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord There will come a poet Whose weapon is His word He will slay you with His tongue, oh lei oh lai oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord He will slay you with His tongue, oh lei oh lai oh Lord There will come a ruler Whose brow is laid in thorn Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai... oh Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh
I was jamming to the music, pretty good... then I saw not 1... but TWO!!!! maps of Middle Earth... Dudes a chad. Give this man a thumbs up and subscribe.
What song should I do next? 👀
Something with Tommy Johansson. Or a cover of Ghost Division.
RUDEUS! Jobless reincarnation ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
How about a crane wives song?
I'd personally like to hear "the hand that feeds"
Please do a sabaton cover of “shepherd of fire” by avenged sevenfold
the highwayman song like iced earth or the highwaymen did would be amazing
🎶There will come a singer
Who's weapon is his voice
He will slay you with his growls, oh ley oh lay o lord 🎵
FUS ROH DAH
The one they fear. In their tongue he is Sabaton, Growlborn! @@Bread-nx9fo
@@Bread-nx9fo lol
Sabaton is always welcome.
Always
This is actually the first time I've heard ANY version of "Soldier, Poet, King". I struggle to see how any other ones top this.
The other versions are so cute and sweet, like they came from a fairytale lol this is so different it’s awesome
The usual ones give folk or bard core vibes, which are also styles I love, but this was amazing too
This one is pretty good. My personal favorite was the version made by Reinaeiry. Her vocals were amazing but it is a very different style from this one.

What if Powerwolf wrote "It's Terror Time Again" from Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
YES!
that would be dope
Absolutely 💯 this right here!!
That'd be so good lol
That would be perfect 🤯
An epic voice with a vocal range that goes To Hell And Back!
Awesome!
heh I see what you did there
yeah I see it too and I absolutely love it
I see what you did there….
I like it
hehehe cheeky sabaton reference... take notes jonny
You know, this works more than I thought it would. So keep rocking John good luck against the algorithm.
Freaking love your "Sabaton" covers.
💯👍
Ngl as an Oh Hellos fan, this cover slaps hard. They have so many songs that so hard (New River is a song that slaps) so many would be such cool covers

How about "Sabaton if they wrote Poor mans poison: Hell's coming with me"?
Only 4 hours???? Not days? Amazing!
Just shared this with my 73 yr old mom. She gonna snort a line of blood pressure meds and headbang to this all night. Thank you Johnathan. You bring us hours of joy. Deus Vult.
Do The Winged Hussars next.
Yeah, we need the Winged Hussars!
Joakim has that voice that is instantly amazing. He can make anything sound extremely emotional and at the same time can sound like a sailor singing a metal cover of a shanty. Such an underrated band man...
Yesss, I love everything about SabaJon, you absolute legend!
There are so many songs I’d like to hear a sabaton cover of… this is perfect
This is amazing. My workout playlists consists of only Sabaton and Jonathan Young songs. Both these people are single handedly keeping me going to stay active. Thank you!
Same but added some brothers of metal to the mix
Now we just need the Jonathan Young cover for this Sabaton classic.
This style of video is great - showing exactly what (I think) a lot of people want to see, which is you performing. IDK what kinds of budgets you needed for the more upscale stuff, but this works just fine for me!
I second that
WE'RE GONNA BECOME KINGS WITH THIS ONE! 🫅🫅🫅🫅🫅👑👑👑👑👑
oh this goes absolutely CRAZYYYY YYYY also it had never occurred to me how few lyrics this song has, but how complete it feels still. leave it to mr young to make me appreciate a song in ways the original hadn't done!!!!! thank you!
This was absolutely worth the wait! I'm a simple woman. Mix anything with metal (especially Sabaton) and I'm here for it!
YES!!! You covered this song with honour! Qapla'!
tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh’a?
@@dellarosa24601not yet! I only know a few words/sentences for now. Seems you're an advanced learner at least?
@@charlie.1564 I use Duolingo for Klingon on Wednesdays 😂 It’s great for shouting at annoying coworkers.
The harmonies and guitar parts are so nice! Knocked it out of the park!
Oh this scratches something in my brain that I didn't know needed scratching.
Also this has just come to me now, I’d LOVE to see a HERO cover from skillet
I feel we’ve not seen any skillet covers for AGES!,the music rocks dude ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He did one with Caleb Hyles a while back. Should be on Hyles' channel.
I can see this being used in an animatic.
I simply was not ready for how awesome this sounds
I wasn't sure this would work, but it does. This is a completely different song now.
You always blow it out of the water amazing job as always
My favorite RUclips singer doing a song in the style of a band he introduced me to!
Dang that was good. I think you preserved the spirit of the original song and still channeled your cover inspiration. That is a hard line to tow. Some of your best work!
Absolutely amazing, the sound actually suits the sing really well
Oh wow, those expressions as he hits the drums... beautiful.
Let's goooo! Do Wish I had an angel by Nightwish next, you and Lauren would slay the fuck out of it!
Oh this already goes hard hell yeah
I obsessed with this song. I loved it originally. I love your version of it. They're very similar but also it's like a whole new song. I'm loving this.
Beautiful, just beautiful
The algorithm has nothing on you Jonathan! You're the Best 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Second that!
Those four hours of work did please my ears, I must say. Hope there are more works like this to come, keep up the great work!
Please do a metal cover of CAROLUS REX! You're the Best Jonathan! 🫅🫅🫅🫅🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
This was fantastic. Especially paired with the fantasy RPG I was playing when my friend shared it to me. Definitely going to be checking out your other stuff now.
I can't believe how well you nail Joakim's vocals...
I love this to bits. There's an absolute groove that you get into that is genuinely hard to not move to. Wonderfully done as always.
This is amazing. Soldier poet King is one of my faves and I love hearing variations of it.
My word man, your voice just keeps surprising me. Even after all of these years, you are still my favorite artist
Oh damn!
Yeah, this one's about to go on loop for a while. Awesome job!
Nailed the vibe, the "O Lay, O Lie"s sound pronounced just as sabaton would
A combination of my two favorite things?? Sabaton and Soldier, Poet, King?? I am here for this.
I didn´t know i needed that kinda version of the song but wow, YES!!!! Your version frickin rocks, thank you!!
Every time Jon releases a video, my soul feels alive a bit more
This is INCREDIBLE, good golly! What a perfectly melded mash-up. Absolutely hats off to you for this one
"What the hell is tha- oh, it's a klingon flag"
It gets me every time.
this rocks.
This sounds like pure distilled epicness! Thank you!
Love it! Been looking forward to this since you teased us with the first part!
This is absolutely amazing. This is truly beautiful two of my favorite bands of all time the oh hellos and Sabaton I didn’t know I wanted this. I did not know I needed this but thank you, John. 🙏
Your capacity for vocals consistently astounds me
Great cover!
A sabaton (or jazz) version of battle cries or inkpot gods by the amazing devil would be awesome
I just sat down and saw the notification pop. Absolutely a great way to start the evening. Let's GO, rock ON.
Top shelf cover! Have worn it out on RUclips. Waiting for it to drop on Spotify to download it to my workout/ hiking playlist.
The Sun is Also a Warrior would be a banger in this style. Or Lord of the Rings songs that Clamavi de Profundis have covered
Total agreement on Clamavi de Profundis. Would love to see the Song of Durin in this style
Please put this on Spotify! I need this in my life everyday lol😅
This was epic!!
But I would love to hear what you could do whit "Get off of My Back" from Spirit, stallion of the cimarron.
This is incredible! Well done man!!
My son started watching the new bay blade series and when the opening played I had to pause what I was doing! I'm glad your able to do songs for shows!
Hail to the king -Breaking Benjamin please you're voice would be perfect for it bro
Honestly? I love songs by the Oh Hellos and the longest Johns, and having a metal version of that would honestly be a dream I didn't know I had
I also particularly liked how you kept the folkness of it in the beat and rhythm, so it leans more into the chant. Excellent choice
this song came up on my spotify and I was like "when did Joakim cover this song?"
you nailed the sound
Love your version of Sabaton of songs.
First, you and your singing voice are awesome. Second, could you sing Uprising by Muse next please?
Lyrics
There will come a soldier
Who carries a mighty sword
He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
There will come a poet
Whose weapon is His word
He will slay you with His tongue, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
He will slay you with His tongue, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
There will come a ruler
Whose brow is laid in thorn
Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai... oh
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh
I was jamming to the music, pretty good... then I saw not 1... but TWO!!!! maps of Middle Earth...
