"So it's me": the girl listened to music all the way, unaware that her performer was sitting in the next chair

Many of us sleep and see how to accidentally bump into a favorite actor or singer, for example, in a store. And maybe not entirely by chance, but quite planned for himself, in order to finally pour out his love and adoration on the idol. In general, to get at least some opportunity to get closer to the object of your admiration. The main thing is to know him by sight.

31-year-old Dutch singer and songwriter Dotan (Dotan) was flying on a plane and noticed that the girl sitting in the next chair was listening to his album. But during the conversation that ensued, the musician realized that Alicia (that was the neighbor's name) had no idea that she was sitting next to the author of the music playing in her headphones. And the more Dothan tried to hint at it to her, the funnier it became. The singer shared the story of the meeting on Twitter.

Dotan, author and performer of songs.

And his first tweet about a strange but funny encounter. "Okay, I'm sitting on a plane (hello, expensive Wi-Fi), and the girl next to me is listening to my album. Every straight song."

"It's a little embarrassing, but at the same time nice. Especially after she met me and asked me what I was doing..."

"I replied that I was writing music... and she still didn't guess. I didn't add anything else, and she continued listening to my music."

"I thought maybe she subscribed to me on Twitter… Well, hello, neighbor on the plane. Thank you for listening to my music and singing along quietly."

When the musician asked what she was listening to, the girl answered without blinking — Dotana. He pretended that he had never heard that name.

"I: "How did you find out about the music you just listened to?" She: "I heard it in the soundtrack of my favorite TV series. She calms me down.""

She even made him listen to his own song once. When they landed, at the exit of the plane, Dotan gave her a note. "I didn't want to spoil this wonderful experience or embarrass her. In fact, the main thing is music, and this is the most pleasant compliment you can get. I will be unoriginal and say that all this is great motivating. I'm going back to the studio tomorrow."

"Dear Dotan!

I don't even know where to start. Firstly: I can't believe how stupid I was, not recognizing you and ignoring all the signals and hints that you gave me. For some strange reason, I didn't Google your name and I don't know what you look like, but I downloaded the album after hearing the song in my favorite TV series "Primordial". I've been listening to him non-stop ever since. I would like to personally say how grateful I am to you for the music. In fact, I wouldn't even recognize half of my favorite artists, because I'm mostly interested only in music. I even thought that Dotan is a band, and not one singer (shame on me). It's a pity you didn't tell me who you were on the plane. When I read the note, I clung to my mother. We're going through a difficult period right now, and your songs have helped us a lot. Even more than you can imagine.

My mom and I will come to your concert in the fall with great pleasure. I can't believe you were so generous and gave us tickets to your concert, especially after my shameful failure. Please continue to write beautiful music and remain as humble. I promise it won't happen again. Never.

With love, Alicia."
