Unhappy The 2016 What Made You Sad Thread

A few days ago I stumbled on a very nice song by a young english-speaking singer.
I checked her other songs and found out that there were a lot I liked.
I was super happy : new music to listen to !
She has a Twitter account so I subscribed to it.
Been listening to her songs lots these last few days.
Yeah I was happy :
Until this morning...
I was checking Twitter for another reason (gloomy anniversary here in France) and somehow some numbers, some layouts and lists were off (don't ask me how I notice those things) and I realized that, and clicked to check, and well :
That singer had blocked me on Twitter...
I have never twitted to her, never talked to her, never contacted her, well : never done anything to her, I literally have no clue what happened and why she'd do that...
And you know what ? That hurts !
I know : it's stupid. It shouldn't hurt.
I mean she doesn't know me, I don't know her, I never been to one of her gigs, we never met, I only have listened to her songs for the past few days.
And subscribed to her Twitter.
So yeah : I shouldn't care right ?

Truth is : it %#@!? hurts !
It's like I'd be happily running in the countryside with a stupid smile on my face, bouncing around grass and flowers, happily gazing at butterflies and birds and stuff, because, you know, I'm usually a stupidly happy person, and then, right after a turn on the road, or whatever, WHACK : I get hit hard in the face with a baseball bat by some disgruntled person : JUST BECAUSE !!!
With no apparent reason...
I know, I know : #FirstWorldProblem !
I shouldn't feel hurt, I should be able to brush it off, shrug it off.
I shouldn't be that sensible.

Yet, fact is : it %#@!? hurts !
I can't help it. I'm a super sad panda since this morning.
No joy in me to practice the piano, to listen to music, to... I dunnow...

I don't know if it's a combination of several things at the same time though. Is it adding up ?
Cold super bleak weather the last few days, gloomy anniversary today, the dramatic result of the elections in the US a few days ago, a possible cold and general tiredness, and "this" would be the straw that has the better of me ?
Wow am I weak...
Well I found an email on her website for management. So I emailed...
I'll let you know if he/she, well whoever the manager is, answers me.

it should be sad

well, someone block strangers, they got a point, i dont blame them. But the singer u talked abt may have different reason

once i tweet a guy, disagree his opinion. He blocked me. Well, maybe because of different opinon, he didnt want a converstration or maybe he didn't tweet with strangers. Both can understandable, but actually that dumbhole block me then talking **** abt my acc (personal attack)

jerk everywhere

i´m so sorry frederic. of course, it hurts... i would be in pain too. i don´t understand "twitter world" as i´m not part of it, but it´s always sad when you find out that you "are not appreciated", although it´s no really the case as the person in question doesn´t really know you.

now, despite your feelings being hurt, i would advise you not to give this person/situation the power to determine your mood, if you know what i mean. you are much bigger than that blocking thing, much! i hope you´re feeling better by now

I'm such an idiot...

I got an answer from her management (that I emailed earlier this morning) : turns out her Twitter account got Hacked... (and of course I hadn't thought about that stooooopid me !!!)

So no :
- She wasn't affraid of my Twitter icon that could look like Sauron if you forgot to drink your coffee in the morning...

- She's probably not a Sushi addict that got disgusted by my #SaveTheWhales post a few days ago.

- Or other stupid reasons...
I blame winter...
I blame...
...noone but myself really I'm such a fool !!!
#StoryOfMyLife

Anyway all is well that ends well : listening to her music right now full volume (sorry neighbours ! #NO-NotSorry-HAHA).

Well, in my unadulterated idiocy at least there was a tiny amount of wisdom still alive that prevented, by not giving a name, the accidental shame and blame of an innocent.

All is not lost !

So we will not reveal who it was !!!

Oh dear I so have felt like an idiot the whole day today...
Again...

Well i can't say anything about her who must not be named...
But Rachel Sermanni is one of my absolute favourites.
I wish she'd tour a bit outside the UK.
I saw her last year in a very small venue in the Netherlands and would love another chance to see her perform!

Well since I created the thread and you totally didn't guess who it was about (oh no no...) and thus totally *cough* derailed *cough* the thread, well I totally allow you, and anyone else for that matter, to go on totally derailing it...

So yeah... It's totally off-topic and totally unrelated but yeah... Why wouldn't we talk about this brilliant singer huh ?
I'll start (Kind of... Totally... More or less...) :

This one below is the first I heard
and it made me stop whatever I was doing so that I'd only be listening :




This next one is too short, because it's super nice and you'd really wish
it'd last a little longer :




Last one (for this post) "killed" me the first time I heard it,
kind of like "We, the Drowned" did when I first heard it :

I think this is my fav of hers... or it might just be Myles's video that is absolutely perfect for this song. Let's say it's both. And they compliment each other so well.
