Glen Campbell’s final single, ‘I’m Not Gonna Miss You,’ due Sept. 30

A new single being described at Glen Campbell’s last recording will be released Sept. 30. “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” is an autobiographical track written with producer Julian Raymond describing Campbell’s continuing struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.

In the sparsely produced song, which was recorded in Los Angeles, Campbell sings: “I’m still here but yet I’m gone/I don’t play guitar or sing my song/It never defined who I am/The man that loved you till the end/You’re the last person I will love/You’re the last face I will recall/And best of all…I’m not gonna miss you.”

The recording was made for “I’ll Be Me,” a forthcoming documentary about the five-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and wife Kim’s handling of the singer’s condition, which they made public in 2011

Campbell continued performing, with some of his children in his backing band, until his Alzheimer’s reached the point he could no longer play or sing effectively. In April, his family reportedly moved him to an Alzheimer’s care facility as his health continued deteriorating.

The film, directed by Stacy Keach, won the grand prize at the Nashville Film Festival upon its premiere there in May.

A five-song EP soundtrack will be released on Sept. 30 including “I’m Not Going to Miss You” plus the Band Perry’s version of Campbell’s breakthrough hit “Gentle on My Mind” and his daughter Ashley Campbell’s recording of “Home Again.” It also includes live versions from Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium of Campbell performing “Wichita Lineman” and “A Better Place,” the latter a song from his 2011 album “Ghost on the Canvas.”

Producer Raymond told The Times then, “He’s not hiding anything, and he’s not afraid to say where he’s been. It’s why a lot of those lyrics meant so much. Look, in certain ways we’ve all tried and we’ve all failed, we’ve all won and lost. At this point in his life, he’s been through a lot, he’s proud of where he’s been, there’s no regrets, really, I guess.”

“I’ll Be Me” will have a limited theatrical release this fall, starting with a New York run that opens Oct. 24, to be followed by an early November run in Los Angeles.
