Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about In Your Letter. By Songfacts®.

Much of the Hi Infidelity album was inspired by, you guessed it, infidelity. "In Your Letter" is based on a real letter keyboard player Neal Doughty's wife left him, explaining that she was leaving him - he discovered it after returning home from a tour. The song takes her to task, no so much for the cheating, but for how she broke the news: You could've left him only For an evening let him be lonely But you hid behind your poison pen and his pride

The band's guitarist, Gary Richrath, wrote this song. Another Hi Infidelity track, "Take It On The Run," deals with his own relationship issues.
