 ==Overview==
-"I Swear It's True" was first written in August of 1993.  The song was then rehearsed with Ric Ocasek during the early sessions of "[[The Blue Album]]".  The song would later end up being cut.  When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions began, "I Swear It's True" was reconsidered for the album and was recorded.  When the song would once again not make the album cut, it was decided that it, along with "[[Getting Up and Leaving]]" would appear on the "[[Pink Triangle]]" promotional CD single.  However, with Matt Sharp away working on his new Rentals album, and with ''Pinkerton'' slowly proving a disappointment, the label decided that Pink Triangle's CD single would not see commercial release.  "I Swear It's True" can be heard on the Blue Album Deluxe Edition as well as the original home demo Rivers recorded, which is circulating online.
+"I Swear It's True" was written and demoed by Rivers in August of 1993, and first recorded by the band with [[Ric Ocasek]] during the early demo/rehearsal sessions for "[[The Blue Album]]".  The song would eventually be cut from any potential lineup for the album.
+When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions began, "I Swear It's True" was reconsidered for the album.  Despite being fully recorded in the studio, the song again failed to make the cut.  Months later, it was resurrected when it was decided that it, along with another ''Pinkerton'' outtake, "[[Getting Up and Leaving]]", would appear on the "[[Pink Triangle]]" retail CD single.
+These recordings, along with "Pink Triangle", were remixed and added new basslines by [[Scott Riebling]], who filled in for [[Matt Sharp]], who was away working on his new [[The Rentals|Rentals]] album.  However, with the promotion single for "Pink Triangle" not doing well at radio, and ''Pinkerton'' slowly proving a disappointment, the label decided that Pink Triangle's CD single would not see commercial release.
+"I Swear It's True" can be heard on the Blue Album Deluxe Edition, as well as Rivers' original home demo, which is circulating online.  The ''Pinkerton'' sessions version remains unreleased, and is considered by many fans to be one of the most desired recordings for release.
