"Long Day" is the first single and second track from matchbox twenty's debut album yourself or someone like you. The song starts off with just an acoustic guitar but switches to electric guitars for most of the song. The vocal style is typical of Rob Thomas, a mixture of soft and soulful and impassioned and angst-filled. There is no instrumental introduction, Thomas begins singing immediately and if listened to carefully, he can be heard drawing a breath just before. The video clip, like most of the band's material centres round 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. This song paved the way for their next single, "Push", though it itself found little success outside of AOR charts.
