    Brilliant reaction, You are absolutely right about the thoughts about Sweden's Life Guard. History begins in Dalarna in 1521 when 16 young men were chosen to guard the life of the future king, Gustav Eriksson Vasa. They followed him during the liberation struggle against the Danes and when Gustav Vasa became king they were placed as guards around the castle and has continued to do so continuously for 500 years to protect Sweden's kings

    "For Sweden in time
    For Sweden in Time is a rough translations of the current King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, personal motto. All monarchs of Sweden has one. It is printed on our coins as well. Our former king had "Duty above all."
    The kings on the paintings had in order : Gustav Eriksson Vassa "All power comes from God", Charles X had "By God my fate, his will be done" , Charles XI had "God is our protector" and lastly, Charles XII, (Carolus Rex) had "With the help of God".
    so one could say the swedish monarchs were a qiote religious bunch :p Also, it is written in the swedish constitution that the monarrch has to be a protestant.

    In 1520, the danish king Kristian II started ”Stockholms blodbad” (the bloodbath of Stockholm), where he basically executed many swedish overheads after a party. After his father’s head was chopped off, the swedish king Gustav Wasa went searching for people in the north who would help him with a revolt against the danish. It was then Livgardet was founded, starting off as 16 men, they still exist today, protecting the castle in Stockholm.

    This song is what Sweden needs right now. I did my military service in 1978 in Örebro. My regiment is Livgregementets Grenadjärer /The Life Regimrnts Grenadiers). The three barack buildings were named after three battles were the regiment distinguished itself, Lund, Narva and Kliszów. The uniforms in the video are from the 1600's. The Pontifical Swiss Guard was formed in 1506 so that unit is some years older than Livgardet.The hymn is Psalm 297 'Härlig är Jorden'. @

    Hi v3t.
    Just a nice, little fun-t'see thing about the map, where they spill the red wine.
    If I understand them by now, that as well is a thought through symbolic marking in the production.
    The red wine, symbolizing blood getting spread through parts of Sweden, kinda starts towards Stockholm, from Denmark, with the base of the cup standing in Denmark.
    Stockholm was where the Danish king made the Bloodbath, that sent Gustav Vasa fleeing/going in search for help, which lead to the creation of Svea Livgarde, among other things.
    Not much of info, but I found it interesting to see that wine spread like blood, with 'start' at Stockholm area-ish. Whether it was intended or not.
    Have all good through your life, v3t
    or "Ad Astra per Aspera" which was the motto of Gustav Vasa (Towards the Stars through Hardships)

    BTW, I subscribed and binged your Sabaton playlist all night yesterday. As a Swedish military kid I am so blessed that my parents worked in a time where you where only serving in Sweden. Unless you where actively seeking to serve over seas.
    Fun fact: my mum (civilian worker) still worked when that changed, to keep her work she had to sign that she agreed to that she could be deployed.
    (She has MS and was in a wheelchair working part time at that stage 🤣. Of course she would never be deployed, but rules are rules you know. We used to joke they needed to make her a tank wheelchair.)
    Anyway, I hate war but I respect and appreciate people that serve, because even if all conflicts aren't needed the people who serve are.

    This song is amazing, and so is your reaction to it as usual. Been looking forward for it since they showed the teaser. My family have always had atleast one person per generation serve in the guard and it was the place I joined aswell, sadly i hurt my leg bad enough during basic training that I never got the chance to serve, but even so. This song really fits well as an anthem to the Swedish lifeguards.
    bodyguards guard a person, lifeguards guard the position/title (in this case the royal family and their homes.) Not sure but I do believe most countries in Europe have their own versions of lifeguards.

  • @thormichaelpleym4975
    @thormichaelpleym4975 Před 3 lety

    I'm one of them, one of the Royal Guard 500 years old. :-) But I didn't knew that untill I saw this video.
    I served in the swedish regiment K1 in 1978/79 as a militarypolice (I'm now a prosecutor here in Sweden) and we were called Svea Livgardets Dragoner. We were cavallary so we had to learn to ride a horse. I have a lot more than 80 hours on top of a horse. I have ride (rode/ridden?) five changes of "högvakten" to the Stockholm castle and walked three. In that time Stockholm was a beautiful city. Still is ofc, but the criminality is silly in that town nowadays.
    However, this song makes my heart warm. It's a recognisition from Sabaton for my service to my country. I love them for that, I love them for all their other songs, I love them for their music, I love them for their lyrics, I love them for uniting the people in Europe, I love them since they are a part of me and since they make me proud to be Swedish. /MickeP

    Livgardet today is still the unit protecting the king. It is an elite unit specialized in urban warfare but as in giving their life for the king, they are probably not that much more special than other units. But they are stationed at the royal palace at all times, and prepared to evacuate the royal family and parliament along with other high value propaganda assets in case of war. The king of Sweden does not have any formal power, but he will have an impact in propaganda, especially the current royal family since they are quite popular with the Swedish people.

    Hello all non Swedish speaking SABATON fans.
    I have tried to translate the lyrics to "LIVGARDET"
    ( THE LIFE GUARD) into English for you.
    It's not verbatim, but I have tried my best.
    I have also included a small glossary at the end.
    Enjoy!
    The life guard stands steeped in glory.
    Established by the country's founding father.
    Dedicated service for 500 years.
    From the march over the Belt,
    they fought at Lund and the fields of Narva.
    Following in the footsteps of heroes.
    --------------------------------
    Forged in fire and the blood of Dalecarlian men.
    Frozen ground and heroism.
    In time of war they stood up.
    It's ancestry traced to only 16 men.
    The oldest fighting force in the realm.
    A time! Of war!
    Wherever the road may take them,
    to protect, the guardsmen swear.
    To king and country they pledge their lives.
    Knee, to knee the guardsmen walk.
    Fighting for our country's founding father.
    Dedicated service for 500 years.
    From the march over the Belt,
    they fought at Lund and the fields of Narva.
    Following in the footsteps of heroes.
    No matter who wears the crown,
    to their king fidelity they swear.
    In times, of peace, they still remain.
    The old traditions, still guards the doors of power.
    Both in peace and in time of war.
    Wherever the road may take them,
    around our king the guardsmen stand.
    Sacrificing their lives for king and country.
    Knee, to knee the guardsmen walk.
    Fighting for our country's founding father.
    Dedicated service for 500 years.
    From the march over the Belt,
    they fought at Lund and the fields of Narva.
    Following in the footsteps of heroes.
    Thru time for Sweden,
    wherever the king may go.
    They do what seems impossible,
    whatever the future will hold.
    Wherever the road may take them,
    to protect, the guardsmen swear.
    To king and country they pledge their lives.
    The life guard stands steeped in glory.
    Established by the country's founding father.
    Dedicated service for 500 years.
    From the march over the Belt,
    they fought at Lund and the fields of Narva.
    Following in the footsteps of heroes.
    "THE BELT" is the narrow straights between Sweden and Denmark.
    (We were enemy's back then) and the straights shielded Denmark
    from Swedish invasion. But one year the straight froze,
    and us Swedes promptly marched over it and attacked.
    "LUND" is a small town in the south of Sweden.
    "NARVA" is a town in Estonia
    "DALECARLIA" (or Dalarna as it's spelled in Swedish) is a historical province in the middle of Sweden.
    I hope this translation made your SABATON "LIVGARDET" experience more enjoyable.

    From the march over Belt
    Fought in Lund, On Narva’s field
    They follow in the footsteps of heroes
    No matter whom the crown wears
    To their king loyalty swears
    In a time, of peace, they persists
    Traditions of old
    Still guarding the governance door
    In peace
    And in battle
    Wherever the road leads
    Around our king the guard stand
    For country and kingdom they sacrifice their life
    For Sweden in the time
    Where the king goes
    They do what seem impossible, whatever the future holds
    Wherever the road carries
    To protect, the guard swears
    For king and kingdom they dedicate their life
    Knee to knee the guard march
    Fought for founding father ours
    Dedicated service for 500 years
    From the march over Belt
    Fought in Lund, On Narva’s field
    They follow in the footsteps of heroes

      Fun fact:
      They have two mottos in the lyrics; The Life Guard’s and the current King’s
      • Livgardets: De göra vad som synes omöjligt (They do what seems impossible)
      • King Carl XVI (16th) Gustav: För Sverige - I tiden (For Sweden - In time)
