Here is the rough script that I gave to my actors to perform for the interview for my website.
Script
S: Hi everyone I’m Sarah Dulieu
D: I’m David Dulieu, and we’re the parents of CDBoy.
S: His new single Mr Blue Sky – which you can stream on literally every streaming service and watch the new music video link in the description – was a bit of a tribute to us, from Eric.
D: You asked us questions on twitter and we’re gonna answer them.
So @cdb0ystan1 asks What was eric like as a child? Omg I bet he was so cute heart emoji heart emoji heart emoji.
S:
• He was such a sweet child
• A bit lonely as an only child so he turned to music ever since he was young
D:
• Since Im a musician too he would always try to copy my guitar playing and would always sing along and I thought music would be a good avenue for him
S:
• We had some financial troubles, so we had to move around quite a bit, and that definitely took a toll on him
• But we saw his music skills progress and him and his father would come up with songs and do covers all the time
• He was too nervous to be in the choir and didn’t have enough friends to start a band of his own, so he started uploading music to YouTube when he was like 14. Don’t go and look for it because it’s terrible
S:
• But despite all the hardships and the loneliness and the issues at home he was always trying to look at the bright side whenever he could. And we’re so proud of him for that.
What were erics biggest influences?
D:
• Well technically speaking me. I was his biggest influence. For those of you who don’t know mr blue sky was a song that I made up with eric back when he was a kid, it was like our anthem. I showed him how to play and then he just ran with it.
S:
• But yknow I played a lot of radiohead in the car in the morning, I loved weezer, the arctic monkeys, a LOT of ELO. But Mr Blue Sky isn’t really like any of that, since it was more erics attempt at a new genre of music as a tribute to us. Isnt he nice?
•
• He’s tyler the creators biggest fan – im sure you can tell that pretty easily- he’s a big queen fan and he’s getting into a bit of 10cc at the moment. Oh and when the happiness mcfly music video came out he couldn’t stop watching it, if that counts.
How did you guys react to erics transition? I hope you were accepting …
D:
• Of course we were jesus do people not have faith in us (worse to that effect)
S:
• Eric knew he was different the moment he knew what being different meant. We never pushed him for answers until he was ready and we never pushed him to be something he’s not.
• As soon as he said he wanted to we took him shopping in the boys section, we got his hair cut and all that and it was really good to see him finally come into himself
• He was clearly uncomfortable as a child and it was sad to see him feel like that but we are so happy to be able to support him as he matures now
Give us a funny story from when CD boy was a kid pls!!!
D:
• Not exactly so funny for Sarah and I but eric had weird eating habits as a kid. Like really weird.
S:
• We found him one time trying to eat our cabinet. He was about 2 or 3 and we had no idea what possessed him to do it or what about or cabinet looked so delicious but he was giving it his best go.
