I'm Not Sayin'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I'm Not Sayin'" is a song written by Gordon Lightfoot. It was released on his 1966 debut album Lightfoot!. The lyrics detail the singer's promise: not that he can necessarily love the subject, or be true to the subject, but only that he can try to do so.
In late May of 1965, Nico recorded and then released a version of the song for Immediate Records. Her version is stylistically reminiscent of the work of Marianne Faithfull. The single only garnered limited success. This version of the song features Jimmy Page, then a studio musician, on the 12-string guitar.
Other artists who have recorded this song include Turley Richards and The Ian Campbell Folk Group.
On the platinum "Gord's Gold" LP by Lightfoot, the song appears in a medley with Lightfoot's "Ribbon of Darkness".
