It became Eurythmics' 2d Top 10 U.S. hit, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Here Comes the Pelting Once more" striking number eight in the UK Singles Chart, becoming their 5th consecutive Pinnacle 10 unmarried in their home country.

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 information technology has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-small-scale, but so I change information technology to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A small) in, and and then it kind of feels like that modest is suspended, or major. So it's kind of a weird class. And of form that starts the whole song, and the whole vocal was about that undecided thing, like hither comes depression, or here comes that downward spiral. Only then it goes, 'and 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'southward when it'south darkest unfolding and bloodred but before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."^[ii]

Stewart also said he and Lennox wrote the vocal while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. Information technology 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 over again". The duo worked out the rest of the song based on that mood.^{[2] [3]}

The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed by members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. Still, due to the limited space in the studio, the Church, the players had to improvise past 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.^[2]

The running time for "Here Comes the Rain Once more" is in actuality about five minutes long and was edited on the Touch on album (fading out at approximately four-and-a-half minutes). Although it 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 5-minute version did non appear on any Eurythmics album until the U.S. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

In the United kingdom, the single became Eurythmics' fifth Top 10 hit, peaking at #8. Information technology was the duo's second top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at #four in March 1984.

Music video [edit]

The music video, featuring both Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, was directed past Stewart, Jonathan Gershfield and Jon Roseman,^[iv] and released in December 1983, a month before the single came out. The video opens with a passing aerial shot of the Former Homo 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 explores a derelict cottage while wearing a nightgown and holding a lantern. Stewart stalks her with a video camera. In many scenes the 2 are filmed separately, then superimposed into the aforementioned frame.^[v]
