Trivia
I wrote "No Matter How You Spend Your Day" in the summer of 1999. I thought of the first line right on the verge of falling asleep one night and had to get myself out of bed to write what turned out to be most of the lyrics. In the second chorus, the "letter" is an allusion to a girl I liked who thought that a friendly note I had sent to her was stalkerish. After that, I was much more reluctant to invoke the use of rhyme in notes to girls. Remember that: rhyme = stalker. And I turned her reaction into part of a rhyming song, which I think is a great example of creative retaliatory irony. Anyhow, the rest of the song is a charming study of the infinitessimal impact any given person has on the universe, and with its charming melodies, the song been a pet favorite of mine since its composition.
