"Hither Comes the Rain Again" is a 1983 vocal 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[i] as the album's tertiary single in the UK and in the United States every bit the first single. It became Eurythmics' second Peak ten U.S. hit, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Here Comes the Rain Again" hit number 8 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming their 5th consecutive Acme 10 single 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: "'Hither Comes the Rain Again' is kind of a perfect one where information technology has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-pocket-sized, only and then I change information technology to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A minor) in, and and then it kind of feels similar that minor is suspended, or major. Then it'south kind of a weird form. And of course that starts the whole song, and the whole song was nigh that undecided thing, like here comes depression, or here comes that down spiral. But and then it goes, 'so talk to me like lovers do.' Information technology's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is similar the rose that'south when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred just earlier 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. It was an clouded day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A modest-ish chords with the B note in information technology" on his Casio keyboard. Lennox came over, looked out the window at the greyness 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 Combo 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 top of the original synthesized bankroll track.[two]

The running fourth dimension for "Hither Comes the Pelting Again" is in actuality almost five minutes long and was edited on the Bear 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 full-length version of it.[ citation needed ] The entire five-minute version did not appear on any Eurythmics album until the U.South. edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

In the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, the single became Eurythmics' fifth Summit 10 hit, peaking at #viii. It was the duo's second peak ten hit in the United states of america, peaking at #4 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,[4] and released in December 1983, a calendar month before the single came out. The video opens with a passing aeriform shot of the Old Human 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 photographic camera. In many scenes the ii are filmed separately, then superimposed into the same frame.[v]
