@Cierzo If? We will all die.

@Mugin16 I like that in German 'wenn' can be translated both as 'if' and 'when'.

Beautiful music and Friedrich's (I think) painting.

@Cierzo Wow! I am impressed!

According to a comment on YouTube:

Painting: "The Abbey in the Oakwood" (1809-1810), oil on canvas at Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin by Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840),

@Mugin16 I was not sure, but it looked a lot like Friedrich. I love his art.

@Cierzo The message of Bach's Cantata No 106 is brutally uncomfortable. No wonder we do not want to think about our unavoidable death.
