Song 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 Again' is kind of a perfect one where information technology has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-minor, simply then I change it to put a b-natural (sic – the song is in A small) in, and so it kind of feels similar that pocket-sized is suspended, or major. So information technology'southward kind of a weird course. And of form that starts the whole song, and the whole vocal was about that undecided thing, similar here comes depression, or hither comes that downward screw. But then it goes, 'and then talk to me like lovers do.' It'due south the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that'southward when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred only before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."[2]
Stewart besides said he and Lennox wrote the song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. It was an clouded day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A minor-ish chords with the B annotation 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, "Here comes the pelting again". The duo worked out the rest of the song based on that mood.[2] [three]
The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed past members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. Yet, 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 backing track.[2]
