Today we discuss not just one, but TWO songs from Winterreise (and one of them is an absolute HEADBANGER). The water is flowing (or not.... or is it?) in both Wasserflut and Auf dem Flusse, along with our traveller's emotions! Stay tuned to the bitter end for a very special guest performance by the floofiest singer you've ever heard.
