"Here Comes the Pelting Again" is a 1983 song by British duo Eurythmics and the opening track from their third studio album Touch. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. The song was released on 12 January 1984[ane] every bit the album's third unmarried in the UK and in the United States as the first unmarried.

"Here Comes the Rain Again" hit number eight in the UK Singles Nautical chart, becoming their fifth consecutive Peak ten 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 Rain Over again' is kind of a perfect i where it has a mixture of things, considering I'g playing a b-minor, but and then I change it to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A minor) in, then information technology kind of feels similar that modest 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 affair, like here comes depression, or here comes that downward spiral. But so it goes, 'and then talk to me like lovers exercise.' It's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a night beauty that sort of is like the rose that's when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred just before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."[ii]

Stewart also said he and Lennox wrote the song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. It was an overcast day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A modest-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 vocal based on that mood.[2] [3]

The cord arrangements past Michael Kamen were performed by members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. However, 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 then mixed by blending the orchestral tracks on peak of the original synthesized backing track.[two]

The running time for "Here Comes the Pelting Again" is in actuality about five minutes long and was edited on the Impact anthology (fading out at approximately four-and-a-half minutes). Although information technology was edited fifty-fifty further for its single and video release, many U.S. radio stations played the total-length version of it.[ citation needed ] The unabridged 5-infinitesimal version did not appear on whatsoever Eurythmics album until the U.Due south. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

In the UK, the unmarried became Eurythmics' 5th Meridian 10 hit, peaking at #eight. It was the duo'due south second meridian ten hit in the Usa, peaking at #four 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,[4] and released in December 1983, a month earlier the single came out. The video opens with a passing aeriform shot of the Old Man of Hoy on the Isle 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 two are filmed separately, and so superimposed into the same frame.[5]
