IMMEDIATE RELEASE: “Bye
Bye Lida” song commemorates Eddie “Gwen” Araujo “Bye
Bye Lida” is a new tune
by singer/songwriter/guitarist Rob Blaze that was inspired by the tragic
murder of Eddie “Gwen” Araujo. Blaze said he decided to write “Bye Bye Lida” after he heard about the incident from his girlfriend,
who was local to the news, last October. Blaze's original songs span
a wide spectrum from folk to rock to electronica and beyond. The song is easily accessible
online at www.byebyelida.com, where you’ll find the lyrics,
song mp3 download, and news story providing the details of the tragedy
which inspired "Bye Bye Lida".
The site also tells about the relation that "Eddie/Gwen/Lida"
had to Gwen Stefani, singer for the band “No Doubt”. Eddie Araujo was a cross-dressing 17-year-old
boy, tragically murdered several months ago, who loved the band “No
Doubt” and its singer Gwen Stefani so much that he even adopted her
name for his female identity (Araujo went by 'Lida', too). “Bye Bye Lida” also features up-and-coming recording artist
“V” singing harmonies on the track. For
