Song data [edit]

Stewart explained to Songfacts that creating a melancholy mood in his songs is something at which he excels. He said: "'Here Comes the Rain Again' is kind of a perfect 1 where it has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-small, but then I change it to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A small-scale) in, and so information technology kind of feels like that small-scale is suspended, or major. So it'due south kind of a weird class. And of class that starts the whole vocal, and the whole song was almost that undecided thing, like here comes depression, or here comes that downward spiral. Simply then it goes, 'and then talk to me like lovers do.' It'southward the wandering in and out of melancholy, a nighttime beauty that sort of is like the rose that'south when it'due south darkest unfolding and bloodred simply before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."[2]

Stewart also said he and Lennox wrote the song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. It was an overcast solar day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A minor-ish chords with the B note in it" on his Casio keyboard. Lennox came over, looked out the window at the gray skies and the New York skyline, and spontaneously sang, "Here comes the rain once more". The duo worked out the rest of the vocal based on that mood.[two] [3]

The cord arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed past members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. However, due to the limited space in the studio, the Church, the players had to improvise by recording their parts in other parts of the studio. The song was then mixed by blending the orchestral tracks on top of the original synthesized backing track.[2]

Although it was edited even farther for its single and video release, many U.Due south. radio stations played the full-length version of it.[ commendation needed ] The entire 5-minute version did not appear on whatsoever Eurythmics album until the U.S. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

In the Great britain, the single became Eurythmics' fifth Superlative ten hitting, peaking at #8. It was the duo's 2d peak ten hit in the U.s.a., peaking at #iv in March 1984.
