Everything I Long For is the debut album by Canadian singer-songwriter Hayden. It was initially released in Canada on March 1, 1995[13] through his own label, Hardwood Records, in conjunction with Sonic Unyon.[14][15] It was later re-released in May 1996 (with slightly modified cover art) internationally on Outpost Recordings/Geffen Records. A 12" vinyl version was also released in 1996 on Hardwood/Genius Records.[16]
The song "Assignment in Space with Rip Foster" is an alternative title to the children's novel Rip Foster Rides the Gray Planet by Harold L. Goodwin. Assignment in Space with Rip Foster is also attributed in the liner notes of Hayden's debut album, In September, as the recording studio where he recorded part of that album.
