Information AboutBron-yr-aur Stomp |
|
The title is spelled differently from "Bron-yr-Aur," a 2-minute instrumental on Physical Graffiti. Robert Plant wrote this for his dog, Strider. He took the pooch with him to Bron-yr-Aur. Bron-Yr-Aur means "golden breast" or "breast of gold" in Welsh. It means "breast" as in hillside of gold. It's pronounced "Bron-rar." Drummer John Bonham played spoons and castanets. John Paul Jones played an acoustic 5-string fretless bass. An unreleased version was known as "Jennings Farm Blues." John Bonham occasionally sang with Robert Plant on this song live. This can be seen in the Earl's Court footage on the DVD. The band Blue Merle got their name from lyrics in this song: "There ain't no companion like a blue-eyed merle". |
