I had a dog from the age of 13 to 25 who saw me through the end of grade school, through high school, and through university. We walked every day in the forest and field behind our house for years, rain, snow and sunshine. She was my best friend. She died the summer after I graduated. No dog I ever had or will ever have again will be quite like her. We were kids together and when she passed I was an adult. She was my constant companion through the entirety of my growing up. It's been 17 years now and she still sits in my heart like a big blossom of love. I've got tears running down my cheeks just writing this. I’ll love you forever Zoe! 🥰
Nothing like the joy and love of your first dog! Just watch the video of kids reuniting with a lost dog, kids breaking down and crying with joy that their loved one is home. There is a lot that goes into raising a child, parents, home, school, community etc. But a child that was raised with pets will always be a more rounded adult, in my opinion. I grew up near my grandparents farm and my family all lived in the same town. We would always be at the farm because we could play in the barn, drive the tractors around and later as teenagers we had our dirt bikes (motorized), but me, my brothers and my cousins always had our dogs. Now my grandfather could barely keep all the grandkids names in order on a good day and heaven forbid if he got mad at you, he would have to run through all the names until he finally got the right one, then he could yell at you. So he had no chance with all the dogs. So every dog he came across was called fleabag. My grandfather was the sweetest man and his sour demeanor was always a put on. He loved us kids! So ever since his passing way back in the 80s I have named everyone of my dogs "Fleabag" in his honor. And yes I have to tell this story every time someone asks me for my dogs name, I usually get a smile out of them.
I cry reading this. I am so sorry for the loss of your Dog. But what a wonderful Companion. I will be at a loss when I Lose one of my pets. They are my life. I actually want to die before them. I am 47 now. Not much more to live for anymore. I would probably die from a broken heart.
When I watched the video, I saw my Kayleigh's eyes looking back at me in the dog picture. Merles are extraordinary animals, smart, loving, loyal, and protective. Each night, Kayleigh would go up the stairs to check on my kids when they were small, even when she developed bone cancer in her spine. She was the best companion and I miss her dearly.
my life in the three years has done nothing but go downhill since my good boy died three years ago. it was a year before I stopped expecting him to greet me at the door when I get home... I have contemplated suicide, stopped dating, stopped taking care of myself, and gained 20 lbs. And at least once every month or more I second guess myself about not getting him put down and I will forever blame myself....
@@LovesMike33 I was 50 when my good boy died.... the last 3 years have been the darkest I have ever known. I dont even know who I am anymore.... he was my life, he was like my eternal 3 year old toddler.... my son... and now he is gone.
A song that talks about a dog literally in its entirety: calls it Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. A song that doesn't have shit to do with dogs: calls it Black Dog. I love you, Robert Plant!
@@michaelrhinehart5305 yes, he wrote the lyrics which what the op was referring to . it was titled after a dog that was hanging around the studio and would hump everything
An underrated Led Zeppelin classic. It wasn't until a month ago that I listened to LZIII, as I just assumed from the reviews of the album that "Immigrant Song" was the only good song, and that everything else was folky, and therefore not good. Boy, was I wrong! This whole album is loaded with classics and bangers, this song included!
I have to put down my dog this evening. I can’t stop crying. He was the best dog ever. I can’t believe he will not be longer here keeping me company while I work on the vineyards… playing with my little sister. He loved her more than he loved himself. I will never forget walking down the country lane with him.
Omg I know. We have cats, but the feeling is the same. We had an enormous cat who used to drool on ppl all the time, and I never once ever imagined how bad i would miss it.......
@@naudianeels1328 Yes, unique is a very good way to put it. It would probably be more appreciated if they had added a couple more of the non album released tunes to it like: -Travelling Riverside Blues -Hey Hey What Can I Do -The Girl I love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair -Bron-Yr-Aur (held back 5 years till Physical Graffiti -Finished "St. Tristan's Sword" and put it on there too, and removed "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper"
I had one too. Best dog ever. I swear she knew everything I said and thought, a rare connection. I feel your pain, izzy passed on 2018 and my friends still talk about how special she was.
*Bron-Y-Aur Stomp ( lyrics 100% accurate)* ---------------- Ah, caught you smilin' at me, that's the way it should be Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine Ah, all the good times we had, I sung love songs so glad Always smilin', never sad, so fine As we walk down the country lanes I'll be singin' a song, you hear me callin' your name Hear the wind whisper in the trees Tellin' Mother Nature 'bout you and me Well, if the sun shines so bright, or the way is darkest night the road we choose is always right, so fine Ah, can a love be so strong when so many loves go wrong Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on As we walk down the country lanes I'm singin' a song, hear me callin' your name Hear the wind whisper in the trees Tellin' Mother Nature 'bout a-you and me My, my, a-law-de-law, come on, now, it ain't too far Tell your friends all around the world ain't no companion like a blue-eyed Merle Come on, now, well, let me tell ya what you're missin', missin' 'round them brick walls So, of one thing I am sure, it's a friendship so pure Angels singin' all 'round my door, so fine Yeah, ain't but one thing to do, spend my natural life with you You're the finest dog I knew, so fine When you're old and your eyes are dim there ain't no old shep gonna happen again We'll still go walkin' down country lanes I'll sing the same old song, hear me call your name
I had my dog, I had him when I was 11 until I was 25, we both grew up together, we were 2 kids, I finished college, my first job, he watched my relationships come and go, and he died 1 year ago, it still hurts but I think it's the price of a love so pure, miss you always Toby.
I sang this to my dog before we took him to be cremated, God bless his pure and gentle soul. He’s waiting in the Backyard Upstairs. And, in time, I know I will see him again. Just give me some time, Bear. Got some stuff do to before I join you outside. ☺️
My God my friend you just broke my heart. I’m sitting here on my bed with my 15 year old dachshund master Cooper. And I was listening to the song just played for him. You’re a good man my friend
I said goodbye to my sweet pup of 8yrs this week. This is the sweetest and loveliest tribute to a good dog I've ever seen and heard. Rest well, dear Gracie. I'll miss you and always love you. ❤
I am 63 and grew up on Zepplin...first record I bought was age 14 and it was Led Zep 2.......for the first time ever I discovered this song is about a dog...lol......now I can enjoy it even more while I sing it to my two year old Dobermann...
While we all deconstruct the lyrics I'm wired by Jimmy's total mastery of the guitar. It's not just me is it? For those that don't know, this was recorded (or written, not sure) in an old old cottage in Wales, hence Bron Y Aur, the name of the cottage. I think. With Roy Harper at the controls. It's not surprising the more folky vibe came out, Wales is truly jaw dropping in it's beauty. Then you see the coastline, even more stunning.
Ah caught you smiling at me, That's the way it should be, Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine Ah all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad Always smiling, never sad, so fine As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name Hear the wind within the trees, Telling mother nature 'bout you and me Well if the sunshine's so bright, Or on our way it's darkest night The road we choose is always right, so fine Ah can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrong Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on? As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song, Hear me calling your name Hear the wind within the trees, Telling mother nature 'bout you and me My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far, Tell your friends all around the world, Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle Come on now well let me tell you, What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure, Angels singing all around My dog is so fine Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my nat'ral life with you, You're the finest dog I knew, so fine When you're old and your eyes are dim, There ain't no old shep gonna happen again, We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old songs, hear me call your name
*@Petros Glinikis* ☘️ You've done a great job posting the lyrics of these songs. *Thank you so much* ! I'm listening to Zep since I was a kid - almost 40 yrs so know every beat, riff, note & lyrics of every track, of every album. But there's always 1 or 2 words I cud never catch, so thanks again. 😌
Back then, I bought a second guitar just to learn this since it's in open tuning and I didn't want to retune mine every time. Playing it is even better than listening.
I miss you, Geek. You’re the best. Every hike with you was pure joy. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to have kids, because these kids of mine need an amazing dog like you.
Agree AMAZING song. Always love when you can tell when these great bands came to the States and how it influenced their sound...entire les zep III is best all around album in my opinion if that counts
I have a green-eyed Australian shepherd and he isn't a merle. I got into the habit of singing, "ain't no companion like a green-eyed tri!" at the blue-eyed merle line. I can't stop singing it that way!!
I used to listen to this song over and over again in high school, and college while learning how to play guitar. I never really payed attention to the lyrics until now, and I really like them.
How is it possible that Lef Zeppelin was that underated? I cant understand that! And I’m not stupid! I’ve always Loved Led Zeppelin and still love their music ! ❤ - jon fisher
Ah, caught you smiling at me That's the way it should be Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine Ah, all the good times we had I sang love songs so glad Always smiling, never sad, so fine As we walk down the country lanes I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name Hear the wind within the trees Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me Well, if the sun shines so bright Or on our way it's darkest night The road we choose is always right, so fine Ah, can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrong Will our love go on and on and on and on and on? As we walk down the country lanes I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name Hear the wind within the trees Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me My, my La la la Come on now, it ain't too far Tell your friends all around the world Ain't no companion like a blue-eyed Merle Come on now, well, let me tell you What you're missing, messing 'round them brick walls So of one thing I am sure It's a friendship so pure Angels singing all around my door, so fine Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my natural life with you You're the finest dog I knew, so fine When you're old and your eyes are dim There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again We'll still go walking down country lanes I'll sing the same old song, hear me call your name
My favorite song 🎵.....I attended Lakehead University in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada 🇨🇦........I studied music and mathematics.......now....years later everything is based on mathematics......especially music......
You tube has a habit of leading me to various Led Zep songs, and after I listen to every one of them, I come straight here next to listen to my favourite!
My dog Louie and I would dance to this song. I never paid much attention to the lyrics. After he died, I found out this song was about a dog and now I weep like a baby when I hear it.
I once saw a Tweet that said “if you don’t know the claps to bron-y-aur stomp, we can’t be friends.” And I have never related to a tweet so much in my life. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏👏
All about Roberts parents cottage. In Snowdonia. A perfect escape to connect with nature. Write songs. And mostly about Roberts beautiful dawg...He Always loved Wales, and dogs. This song is about his dog....nature, a beatiful old cottage. A haven, after the crazy world of Led Zep. Robert and Jimmy wrote Stairway to heaven in that Cottage.Bron-Y- Aur. Means the " sun shines on" or something like that in welsh...A very special place for Robert.
How Awesome!!! A song about a Dog. No wonder I love this. I am going to play this song for my Mom. She Must have forgotten this Song. I have this CD. I have Been playing this song in my car. ❤ Beings Happy Energy in my Life.
I was once asked by an old gangster 15 years older than me what were my favorite two Led Zeppelin albums. And when I told him three and physical graffiti he looked at me and said only a true lover would’ve said that all these years later I see what he meant

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You Honorable Mention Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp Black Dog Ramble On Fool In The Rain Bring It On Home No Quarter Going To California When The Levee Breaks Misty Mountain Hop The Ocean In The Light Trampled Under Foot The Rover The Battle Of Evermore Rock And Roll
I know it's been ages since you commented this. But such a perfect top ten list. I agree with almost every single placement. Babe I'm gonna leave you is also my favourite song And you know when a band is good when almost the entire damn discography is in "honourable mentions"
Love this song used to sing it to my dog to calm her when we got caught out in storms when she was young. I had to say goodbye to my Violet 8 days ago I'm listening with tears in my eyes. The finest dog I knew, so fine.
God I miss my dog so much. She was my sister, my baby for 13 years. We just lost her earlier in February 2021. Seeing her fade away, grow weak, her eyes go cloudy, it broke my heart so badly. I've thought about her and miss her every single day.
