Joy of singing. Nothing deep here. Van gave this one to Art Garfunkel, whose version is arranged more in the spirit of "Cecilia", and features Simon on guitar, possibly alongside JJ Cale and Larry Carlton. Van's version is a lot looser (we only have a couple takes, neither making Moondance, obviously), but sounds quite a bit clearer despite the instrumental chaos; the difference between engineering by Shelly Yakus and Roy Halee maybe, or that Art's was recorded Wrecking Crew style, and in a Cathedral.
