Vocal 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 Once more' is kind of a perfect ane where it has a mixture of things, considering I'm playing a b-minor, but then I alter it to put a b-natural (sic – the song is in A modest) in, and so it kind of feels like that small is suspended, or major. And so information technology's kind of a weird course. And of form that starts the whole song, and the whole song was nigh that undecided affair, like hither comes low, or hither comes that downwardly spiral. Only so information technology goes, 'so talk to me like lovers do.' It's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that'south when information technology's darkest unfolding and bloodred just earlier the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."[two]

Stewart also said he and Lennox wrote the song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York Urban center. 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 rest of the song based on that mood.[two] [3]

The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed by members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. However, due to the express space in the studio, the Church, the players had to improvise past 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]

The running time for "Here Comes the Pelting Again" is in actuality about five minutes long and was edited on the Touch album (fading out at approximately iv-and-a-half minutes). Although information technology was edited even further for its single and video release, many U.S. radio stations played the total-length version of it.[ citation needed ] The entire five-infinitesimal version did non appear on any Eurythmics anthology until the U.South. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

In the Great britain, the unmarried became Eurythmics' 5th Top 10 hit, peaking at #eight. It was the duo'south second top 10 hit in the The 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,[four] and released in December 1983, a calendar month before the single came out. The video opens with a passing aerial shot of the Sometime Man of Hoy on the Island of Hoy in the Orkney Islands before transitioning to Lennox walking along the rocky shore and cliff summit. She later 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, and so superimposed into the same frame.[5]
