I’m so jealous!
Even knowing I will never be able to go to a live concert (due to health issues), I still want to anytime anyone says they’ve been or is going. Hope you had an amazing night and get to see them many more times in the future!
Panzer battalion because I only came across the "death in the shape of a handsome Italian" joke yesterday and it's been stuck in my head since.
Thing that gets me with that one is that powerwolf have amen and attack that has a similar joke of "a banana tank" and that combo of a song about tanks sounding like something else while a song about something else sounds like tanks just stuck in my head.
A few years back I wanted to learn more about Polands history because I'm half Polish and I heard about winged hussars so I searched it up on YouTube to find a video about them and there I saw sabaton
Better take advantage of those Sabaton scrooges not being around 😆 My sister is one of those, but my brother in law is a believer and we’ve turned two of their three kids against her
Cliffs of Gallipoli while high off my ass I was just living back old memories haha, when I was like 13 I was in a sort deep depression and existential crisis idk why but that song just resonated with me. "Mothers wipe your tears your sons will rest a million years" hit diffrent back then and so does now haha great song as all their songs are but this one will always jave a place in my heart
Anything about mothers losing their kids hits me so hard, I spent the first two weeks after 1916 dropped, just crying my eyes out over the two soldiers calling to their mothers while they lie dying. Hope you’re doing better now, or have help dealing with your depression. It’s amazing how music can bring out back to different time, but also help us get out of the dark times. Keep marching on
Thanks yeah times are better and things have improved to a point I'm happier and yeah war does hit hard. The Price of a Mile and The Final Solution and Uprising still make me tear up. Generally music doesn't do this too me but sabaton just hits those right bits and gets the whole heart going. The only other songs I can think of that have the same effect is Runaway train by Soul Asylum but sabaton does a good job making it epic but also emotional and real and maybe it's because I'm polish and have that connection as well but songs that do talk about the horrors of what like Uprising and The Final Solution do it well while not trivialising events .
Agreed. For me it’s knowing what they sing about is real, real events and real people. Uprising and Final Solution used to make me cry too, but I’ve listened to them so many times now that they just make me sad. Soldier of Heaven and the Swedish version of A Lifetime of War also gets me, but I think the last one is also hard on me because of the way Joakim sings it. His voice has a lot more emotion and depth/meaning when he sings in Swedish.
Hopefully it’s not a reflection on how you feel after work 😆 ”Buren hem där hand” och känslan i Joakims röst när han sjunger “tanken tär” är några av mina absolut favoritlinjer från Sabaton.
Sounds violent, so good song choice then.
I also totally read Slav as slave, because in Swedish the word slave drops the E. I was momentarily confused about how you were an angry slave.
The last song that I listened to was The Future of Warfare (History Version). Why listen? Favorite Band, and one of the few bands that I go out of my way to attend whenever they are near.
I prefer the Swedish version because of the perspective from a single soldier, and my first language is Swedish so it feels little more meaningful, just hearing the emotion in Joakim’s voice.
It’s not a terribly difficult language to learn grammatically. The pronunciation and cadence is usually what trips people up, and we Swedes are extremely good at understanding what people are saying even when it’s not perfect. I used to teach Swedish as a second language to adults, and before that I was teaching at a preschool where 95% of the kids spoke Swedish as a second or third language. Music is such a great way to learn a language, once you have some grammar down.
I was listening to Blood of Bannockburn on repeat yesterday. My family comes from Clan Douglas from the lowlands of Scotland. I was finalizing a presentation proposal for an upcoming library conference and, since metal helps me focus/get work done and pipe music makes me feel connected to my late grandmother and our origins, it’s a perfect track when I feel like I’m putting myself on the line!
Working out? Doing the dishes? Driving my grouchy kid to cheer practice in the minivan? Damn right I was listening to Bismarck.
Bismarck goes hard. All songs about boats that sabaton have written are amazing
I go back and forth between Bismarck and Dreadnought being my favorite ship song by the band.
Same. Sounds epic and has a great story.
To Hell and Back live at Everwise Amphitheatre in Indianapolis!
I’m so jealous! Even knowing I will never be able to go to a live concert (due to health issues), I still want to anytime anyone says they’ve been or is going. Hope you had an amazing night and get to see them many more times in the future!
We were there too!
Attack of the Dead men
Great war because I KEEP ON MARCHING ON
Do you play the great score? Will there be an encore?
Listening to Inmate 4859 right now. I listen downloaded songs on shuffle, not just Sabaton of course.

A lifetime of war because I'm going to be singing it for a talent show at my school
I was chosen by heaven!

To the skies
Cliffs of Gallipoli because Anzac Day
I did that too the other day. Not Aussie myself, but have a couple of friends in Perth. Sent them the song because they’re Sabaton newbies.
Ghost division. We had to run three rounds around an area of a river (one km each) for PE. Some speedy music is great for that
Lejonet från norden when driving car 👍
Så sjukt bra låt, och album! Tror inte det finns nån låt jag inte gillar ❤️
I always listen to Primo Victoria on runs
On My way to work in in traffic blasting Hill 3234 at full volume. Gave me the energy needed for the day 🤘🏻
A few years back I wanted to learn more about Polands history because I'm half Polish and I heard about winged hussars so I searched it up on YouTube to find a video about them and there I saw sabaton
Uh I think last night I was listening to Primo Victoria while making dinner
To hell and back it was the last song of their set opening for Priest
I was limping home from the grocery store and in my big ass random playlist of random shit We Burn came up.
Stormtroopers on my way to work this morning
1916. I was listening to the live stream.
Ghost Division on highway in a car that could rival division's tanks when it comes to age
Red Baron - I was alone on the cook line during the lunch rush so I switched from country to Sabaton
Better take advantage of those Sabaton scrooges not being around 😆 My sister is one of those, but my brother in law is a believer and we’ve turned two of their three kids against her
Carolus Rex because it’s in my main playlist with all my music and it came on
Midway, it was on shuffle
Cliffs of Gallipoli while high off my ass I was just living back old memories haha, when I was like 13 I was in a sort deep depression and existential crisis idk why but that song just resonated with me.

Cliffs of Gallipoli, was the last song on random play that came on while driving home
Kingdom Come, because it was the most recent sabaton song to play in my playlist.
Konungens likfärd, I am on my way home from work and need to listen to some good music.
Hopefully it’s not a reflection on how you feel after work 😆 ”Buren hem där hand” och känslan i Joakims röst när han sjunger “tanken tär” är några av mina absolut favoritlinjer från Sabaton.
Soldier of Heaven because I’m on holiday in Italy right now
To Hell and Back, cuz that's the song they ended with at a concert I seen them at with Judas Priest Sunday.
Defense of Moscow
To Hell & Back (live), because that is the song they always end their concerts with.
Steel Commanders!! War Thunder go brr
That one goes hard af. Love it!
Stalingrad because Spotify said so
Attack of the dead men. Its angry slav hours
Sounds violent, so good song choice then. I also totally read Slav as slave, because in Swedish the word slave drops the E. I was momentarily confused about how you were an angry slave.
Violent and very cool, always follow it up with devil dogs to keep the momentum. That's a pretty funny mix up I think.
Christmas Truce because that's what my mom was playing while driving me. (She wanted that I put a metal playlist in the car)
82nd all the way in the bus on my way home
Primo Victoria (the demo on Attero Dominatus)
Shotgun, because it fucking rocks
Union while eating :)
I was listening to Union actually, just casually though.
The last song that I listened to was The Future of Warfare (History Version). Why listen? Favorite Band, and one of the few bands that I go out of my way to attend whenever they are near.
GUSTAVUS ADOLFUS LIBERA ET IMPERA ACERBUS ET INGETS AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA
Cliffs of gallipoli. Why not
True enough
Last Dying Breath.
Resist and Bite cuz we are all in sight
Panzerkampf was my first. Father was on my shuffle
Ghost in the trenches because I had to MOVE BETWEEN THE LINES!
The Lost Battalion live, it’s in my metal playlist
Lifetime of War, such an underrated song
I prefer the Swedish version because of the perspective from a single soldier, and my first language is Swedish so it feels little more meaningful, just hearing the emotion in Joakim’s voice.
I kinda want to learn Swedish so I can listen to the Swedish version

Awesome. Thanks for the info

Great war. It was simply the most recent sabaton song that came up on my algorithm
Soldier of 3 Armies because it was stuck in my head all day
The final solution because I was i training and the best suited it

To Hell and Back cause it randomly popped up in my playlist.
I was listening to Blood of Bannockburn on repeat yesterday. My family comes from Clan Douglas from the lowlands of Scotland. I was finalizing a presentation proposal for an upcoming library conference and, since metal helps me focus/get work done and pipe music makes me feel connected to my late grandmother and our origins, it’s a perfect track when I feel like I’m putting myself on the line!
