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 it has a mixture of things, because I'yard playing a b-minor, only then I change information technology to put a b-natural (sic – the song is in A minor) in, and then information technology kind of feels like that minor is suspended, or major. So it'southward kind of a weird grade. And of form that starts the whole vocal, and the whole vocal was about that undecided thing, like hither comes depression, or here comes that downwards spiral. But then it 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's when it'south darkest unfolding and bloodred just before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."[2]

Stewart also said he and Lennox wrote the vocal 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 notation 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 rain again". The duo worked out the balance of the vocal based on that mood.[2] [iii]

The cord arrangements past Michael Kamen were performed by members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. Notwithstanding, due to the limited space in the studio, the Church building, the players had to improvise by recording their parts in other parts of the studio.
