I almost answered that one by saying he slowed the tempo down, but that was "Galveston".

Here's what an article in Medium says:
Quote
He wrote the song “in an afternoon,” he said, except in his mind it wasn’t yet fully written. It had two verses and needed a third. It didn’t have a bridge.

“About three weeks later, I ran into Glen and said, ‘That song I sent you, it wasn’t finished.’ He said, ‘Well, now it is.’ He’d already recorded it.”

It's a really good article, well worth the read. I've got a couple of Jimmy Webb's books, he's an excellent writer as well as an excellent songwriter.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
