About This Track
Paul Simon learned the song in London in 1965 from Martin Carthy’sScarborough Fair, who had picked up the tune from the songbook by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger. Art Garfunkel then set it in counterpoint with “Canticle”, a reworking of Simon’s 1963 song “The Side Of A Hill” with new, anti-war lyrics. It was the lead track of the 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, and was released as a single after being featured on the soundtrack to The Graduate in 1968. The copyright credited only Simon and Garfunkel as the authors, causing ill-feeling on the part of Carthy, who felt the “traditional” source should have been credited.
This rift remained until Simon invited Carthy to duet the song with him at a London concert in 2000.

An expression of the divine, that's what this sounds like to me. It's delicate, yet overpowering.
