Song data [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 it has a mixture of things, because I'one thousand playing a b-pocket-sized, but then I change it to put a b-natural (sic – the song is in A minor) in, and and so it kind of feels similar that minor is suspended, or major. And then it's kind of a weird course. And of course that starts the whole song, and the whole vocal was about that undecided thing, like hither comes depression, or here comes that downwards spiral. Just then it goes, 'and so talk to me like lovers practice.' Information technology'south the wandering in and out of melancholy, a nighttime dazzler that sort of is like the rose that'due south when it's 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 song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York Urban center. It was an overcast day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A pocket-size-ish chords with the B note in it" on his Casio keyboard. Lennox came over, looked out the window at the greyness skies and the New York skyline, and spontaneously sang, "Here comes the pelting again". The duo worked out the rest of the vocal based on that mood.[ii] [iii]
The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed by members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. Nevertheless, 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 peak of the original synthesized backing track.[ii]
