Robin Williams was my favorite comedian. 

Like the rest of the world, I admired Robin and the work he created. After hearing of his passing my thoughts turned to a sonata I wrote for him in 1999 after being so moved by his cumulative legacy. I wanted terribly to get this song to him at the time but had no idea how to as I'd have been just one of his millions of fans. 

In any case, today I share that song I wrote for Robin with the world. It's a classical piece - one that may not be easily digested. I hope I was able to tap into his brilliance... and perhaps some of the pain.

The song is available for download on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sonata-17-for-robin-williams/id1019404531 and Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013RKL3UA/ref=dm_ws_ap_tlw_alb113

Sonata 17 For Robin Williams

Octopus - Andy Witmyer (Syd Barrett Cover)

B**** betta have my W**** Bread
they shot another black man dead;
and like a pay phone swaying in disrepair,
his body laid for hours there
and all the bro's on TV said was,
B**** betta have my W**** Bread

B**** betta have my W**** Bread
on nights of rage the sky was red
outside the prayers and siren songs, masked
silhouettes threw back smoke bombs
and all the deaf deflectors said was
B**** betta have my W**** Bread

B**** betta have my W**** Bread
the soul of a man’s, man’s world is dread
where a fetid claw becomes the rule of law
and it don’t mean shit what you think you saw
or who you conquer for street cred, 
B**** betta have my W**** Bread

I know it’s jarring, in 2015
to hear a man repeat the word “b****”,
but here’s what I mean;

I don’t mean to sound obvious or
come across as snarky;
white privilege is an offshoot of, you guessed it,
patriarchy.

You guessed it,
patriarchy;
that word is so unsexy.

B**** betta have my W**** Bread
we stomp where angels fear to tread
when the only voice we hear’s our own
cuz screams of pain are a constant drone
the only words left to be read are
B**** betta have my W**** Bread
.
B**** betta have my W**** Bread
we die inside where fear is bred
so shut the fuck up just this once
and listen to those on the battered fronts
and those who for their truths have bled.
B**** betta have my W**** Bread

B**** Betta Have My W**** Bread

This was our entry for the Kmag Blu Mar Ten remix competition.

We tried to do something different with it, getting it to evolve into a typical EE track.

Prior to reinventing himself as a live musician in the mid-2010's, the studio was Dyer's main instrument ~ put on some headphones and see why this was called "amazing music" by Marc Kramer, Rolling Stone Producer Of The Year 1995.
