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 i where it has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-pocket-sized, but so I change information technology to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A minor) in, and and so it kind of feels like that pocket-size is suspended, or major. So it's kind of a weird form. And of course that starts the whole vocal, and the whole vocal was about that undecided thing, similar here comes depression, or here comes that downwards screw. But then it goes, 'so talk to me like lovers do.' Information technology's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that's when it'southward darkest unfolding and bloodred just before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."[2]

Stewart likewise said he and Lennox wrote the song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. It was an overcast 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, "Hither comes the rain again". The duo worked out the rest of the vocal based on that mood.[two] [three]

The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed past members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. However, due to the express 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.[ii]

The running time for "Here Comes the Rain Again" is in actuality about five minutes long and was edited on the Touch album (fading out at approximately four-and-a-half minutes). Although it was edited even further for its single and video release, many U.Southward. radio stations played the full-length version of it.[ citation needed ] The entire five-minute version did not announced on whatsoever Eurythmics album until the U.South. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.
