Song data [edit]

Stewart explained to Songfacts that creating a melancholy mood in his songs is something at which he excels. He said: "'Hither Comes the Rain Again' is kind of a perfect 1 where it has a mixture of things, considering I'm playing a b-small, merely then I modify it to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A minor) in, and so it kind of feels like that minor is suspended, or major. Then it's kind of a weird class. And of course that starts the whole song, and the whole song was about that undecided thing, like hither comes depression, or hither comes that downwards spiral. But so it goes, 'so talk to me like lovers do.' Information technology's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark dazzler that sort of is like the rose that'southward when it'due south 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. Information technology was an clouded day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A pocket-sized-ish chords with the B notation in it" on his Casio keyboard. Lennox came over, looked out the window at the grayness skies and the New York skyline, and spontaneously sang, "Here comes the pelting over again". The duo worked out the residuum of the vocal based on that mood.[2] [3]

The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed by members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. However, due to the limited space in the studio, the Church building, the players had to improvise by recording their parts in other parts of the studio. The vocal was then mixed by blending the orchestral tracks on top of the original synthesized bankroll runway.[ii]

The running time for "Here Comes the Rain Again" is in actuality well-nigh five minutes long and was edited on the Affect album (fading out at approximately four-and-a-half minutes). Although it was edited fifty-fifty further for its unmarried and video release, many U.Southward. radio stations played the full-length version of it.[ citation needed ] The unabridged five-infinitesimal version did not announced on whatever Eurythmics anthology until the U.Southward. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

In the Uk, the single became Eurythmics' fifth Pinnacle 10 hit, peaking at #8. It was the duo'south second top ten hit in the United States, peaking at #4 in March 1984.

Music video [edit]

The music video, featuring both Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, was directed by Stewart, Jonathan Gershfield and Jon Roseman,[4] and released in December 1983, a month before the single came out. The video opens with a passing aeriform shot of the Former Human of Hoy on the Island of Hoy in the Orkney Islands before transitioning to Lennox walking along the rocky shore and cliff top. She later on explores a derelict cottage while wearing a nightgown and holding a lantern. Stewart stalks her with a video camera. In many scenes the two are filmed separately, then superimposed into the same frame.[five]
