The Night's Too Long
This song came about when Loveless and her producer, Tony Brown, were in his office listening through some material for the upcoming album, and trying to find songs. Brown played this song by the writer Lucinda Williams. They liked what they heard and wound up going to hear Lucinda at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville that night. That's when they made the decision to record the song.
The song charted for 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #20 during the week of 8 December 1990.

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or long:
“One that converses more with the buttock of the night than
with the forehead of the morning.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We all run on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. The other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.”
—Max Lerner (b. 1902)
