"Long Day" is the first single and second track from Matchbox Twenty's debut album Yourself or Someone Like You.
The video clip (directed by Roger Pistole), like most of the band's material centers around Matchbox Twenty, but is punctuated by black and white shots from an old movie. Thomas has shorter hair than in the subsequent clips and is dressed in a suit and sunglasses. The cover of the single features a parody of a Diamond Matches box. The song was not as successful on mainstream pop radio as the other singles from the album, however it had a significant presence on mainstream rock radio, reaching the top ten of the Mainstream Rock Tracks and in the top ten for 6 weeks.

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or day:
“... never, walking away
As light fails, to notice the first star
Pulsing alone in a long shell-coloured sky....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
