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 Over again' is kind of a perfect one where information technology has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-small-scale, but and then I change it to put a b-natural (sic – the song is in A minor) in, and so it kind of feels similar that pocket-size is suspended, or major. And so it's kind of a weird grade. And of class that starts the whole song, and the whole song was about that undecided thing, similar here comes depression, or hither comes that downward spiral. Simply then it goes, 'so talk to me like lovers do.' It'south the wandering in and out of melancholy, a nighttime beauty 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 likewise said he and Lennox wrote the vocal while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York Urban center. It was an overcast day, and Stewart was playing "melancholy A minor-ish chords with the B note 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 remainder of the vocal based on that mood.^{[2] [3]}

The string arrangements past Michael Kamen were performed past members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra.
