Song information [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 one where it has a mixture of things, because I'g playing a b-modest, only then I change it to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A pocket-sized) in, and then it kind of feels like that minor is suspended, or major. So information technology's kind of a weird course. And of class that starts the whole song, and the whole vocal was about that undecided thing, like hither comes depression, or here comes that downward screw. But then it goes, 'and then talk to me similar lovers do.' It'southward the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that's when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred just earlier the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."[two]

Stewart as well said he and Lennox wrote the song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. It was an clouded twenty-four hour period, 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 grey skies and the New York skyline, and spontaneously sang, "Here comes the rain again". The duo worked out the residue of the song based on that mood.[2] [3]

The string arrangements past Michael Kamen were performed past members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. Still, due to the limited space in the studio, the Church building, the players had to improvise past recording their parts in other parts of the studio. The song was and so mixed by blending the orchestral tracks on acme of the original synthesized backing track.[two]

Although it was edited even further for its single and video release, many U.S. radio stations played the full-length version of it.[ citation needed ] The entire 5-minute version did non appear on any Eurythmics anthology until the U.S. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.
