“Bron Yr Aur Stomp”, by Led Zeppelin. Live at Earls Court, 1975.
It’s pronounced “Brawn Er Eyer”. The lyrics concern Robert Plant talking about the joys of taking a walk with his herding dog, named Strider.

It’s rare that you can see a person’s heart diluted into a single song, but that’s what Bron-Yr-Aur is. Nothing more and nothing less than Jimmy’s heart laid bare, the pure emotions that lay hidden beneath that guarded exterior. I consider this one of the most beautiful pieces in Led Zeppelin’s discography, and indeed one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard, period. I tend to forgive artists more than their fair share of problematic behaviors in life, because of the beauty they put back into the world, the sweet purity of music that touches the soul in a way nothing else can. With Bron-Yr-Aur Jimmy created a subtle masterpiece, gently drawing you into a time and place of love, peace and light. You can feel how special the place was to him, and how strongly the emotions he felt there impacted him. There is magick in this melody.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page on Keats Island, 1969.
Recorded piecemeal during their 1969 tour, Led Zeppelin laid down tracks for their second album at some of the finest studios in London, New York and Los Angeles. And then there was the studio in Vancouver, credited only as "a hut." The exact name of the studio has never been disclosed, but accounts by singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page indicate the studio was extremely low budget – it didn't even have proper headphone facilties. Still, Plant recorded harmonica overdubs for "Bring it on Home" there following Zep's Agrodome show on May 10, 1969.

Capricorn Season Chapter Sixteen Part 1
“I think I know what the matter is.” I gave a knowing smile. He huffed, then looked down at his notebook again. I couldn’t tell what was written but it filled half the page. “You’re missing your lassy, aren’t you?” 
When he looked at me again I could see something had shifted in his eyes. They were softer now, almost delicate. They were watery at the edges. His face was round and cherubic, even with the stubble that was showing through. He didn’t say anything. 
I sighed, “it’s okay, you don’t have to answer me. I can tell I’m right.” 
His expression twisted up, his features now terse and irritated. “What makes you think that?” 
“What else is there to moan about? You’re rich, successful, and on holiday. The only problems you’ve got are which pairs of leather patent loafers to buy and the girl who won’t take you seriously.” 
“And what makes you think she won’t take me seriously?” His tone was shifting, sounding more irritated with every syllable that came off his tongue. His lilt had turned into a battering swarm of angry bees. 
“She would be here if she did.” 
His brow mashed together, angling upwards with discomfort. His lips morphed into a grimace. Without another word he stood from his chair and went to the front door. It opened and slammed shut before I could protest. 
Maureen stood in the hall, frozen. She looked concerned. When the house stopped shaking from the impact of the door, she spoke. “What the hell did you say?” She was flagrant with me too. 
I shrugged. “All I said was everything he already knew.”

The Bron-Yr-Aur cottage
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was Plant’s idea that he and Page might benefit from a vacation. Plant recalled a cottage in Wales that he had visited as a child with his family. Named Bron-Yr-Aur, the 18th century dwelling was situated in the Cambrian Mountains. He invited Page to join him there in the spring of 1970, and the two men and their families packed up guitars and supplies and headed off. The absence of electricity guaranteed that any music created would be acoustic in nature. The quiet came as a welcome relief for the musicians who had just spent months playing music at top volumes. “The original plan was to just go there, hang out and really appreciate the countryside [says Page]. The only song we really finished up there was ‘That’s the Way,’ but being in the country set a tone, and it established a standard of traveling for inspiration.” Page had always intended Zeppelin “to be a marriage of blues, hard rock and acoustic music, topped with heavy choruses.” But while Led Zeppelin II was primarily a snapshot of a touring band caught in the heat of battle-ferocious and filled with testosterone- III would introduce a new sensitivity to their overall sound.
[Page says the song] was very exciting to record because it gave us a chance to work with some new acoustic textures. John Paul Jones plays the mandolin on it, and the main breaks are taken up with the pedal steel. I couldn’t really play a pedal steel like a pedal steel player, but I could play it like me... And right at the end, I played a dulcimer... John Paul Jones went home, so I put the bass part on it as well! That didn’t happen often, believe me! The open tuning gave the track a lot of space, so we had a great time filling it up. And Robert’s lyrics were superb.
Of the writing sessions, singer Robert Plant recalls it as “a fantastic place in the middle of nowhere with no facilities at all-and it was a fantastic test of what we could do in that environment. Because by that time we’d become obsessed with change, and the great thing was that we were also able to create a pastoral side of Led Zep”.
