Eurythmics – Here Comes The Rain Again

“Here Comes The Rain Again” was released by Eurythmics, on 12 January 1984. This classic was the opening track of their third studio album Touch.

It became their second Top 10 U.S hit when it peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also soared to number eight in the UK Singles Chart. This made it their fifth consecutive Top 10 single in their own country.

“Here Comes The Rain Again” went on to perform admirably in other countries such as Australia, Canada and Finland.

The Eurythmics were vocalist Annie Lennox and instrumentalist Dave Stewart. Both were members of The Tourists before forming Eurythmics in 1980. They met when Lennox was working as a waitress in Stewart’s home town of Sunderland; they lived together for four years before forming Eurythmics and ending their romantic relationship while forging ahead as a duo. Writing and recording as ex-lovers created an interesting tension in their songs.

This was recorded in an old church that was converted into a studio – except the studio wasn’t finished yet and they brought in the orchestra anyway. About 30 string players had to improvise by playing in corridors and even the toilet. The song was mixed blending the orchestra on top of electronic sounds created by a sequencer and drum machine.
The video was shot at the Orkney islands in Scotland, where Annie Lennox is seen performing the song in and around a scuppered ship. The whole time, we see Dave Stewart recording her with a video camera, appearing to stalk her.
