"Here Comes the Rain Again" is a 1983 vocal by British duo Eurythmics and the opening track from their third studio album Affect. Information technology was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. The song was released on 12 January 1984^[1] as the album's 3rd single in the UK and in the United States as the first single. It became Eurythmics' second Top 10 U.S. hit, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Hither Comes the Pelting Again" hit number eight in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland Singles Chart, condign their fifth sequent Acme 10 single in their home country.

Vocal 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 Pelting Again' is kind of a perfect one where information technology has a mixture of things, because I'grand playing a b-minor, but and then I change it to put a b-natural (sic – the song is in A minor) in, and so it kind of feels like that minor is suspended, or major. So it's kind of a weird course. And of course that starts the whole song, and the whole song was about that undecided thing, like here comes depression, or hither comes that downward spiral. But and so it goes, 'so talk to me like lovers exercise.' It's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that'due south when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred but 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. Information technology was an clouded day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A minor-ish chords with the B note in information technology" on his Casio keyboard. Lennox came over, looked out the window at the grayness skies and the New York skyline, and spontaneously sang, "Hither comes the rain once again". The duo worked out the residuum of the song based on that mood.^{[2] [iii]}

The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed past members of the British Combo 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 bankroll track.^[ii]

The running time for "Here Comes the Rain Once more" is in authenticity 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.Due south. radio stations played the full-length version of information technology.^{[ citation needed ]} The unabridged five-minute version did not appear on any Eurythmics anthology until the U.Due south. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

In the UK, the unmarried became Eurythmics' fifth Acme 10 striking, peaking at #8. It was the duo'southward second top 10 hit in the The states, peaking at #4 in March 1984.

The music video, featuring both Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, was directed past Stewart, Jonathan Gershfield and Jon Roseman,^[4] and released in December 1983, a month before the unmarried came out. The video opens with a passing aerial shot of the Old Man of Hoy on the Isle of Hoy in the Orkney Islands earlier transitioning to Lennox walking forth the rocky shore and cliff summit.
