Vocal 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 i where it has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-minor, simply then I alter it to put a b-natural (sic – the vocal is in A minor) in, and and so information technology kind of feels like that minor is suspended, or major. And then it'southward kind of a weird class. And of form that starts the whole vocal, and the whole vocal was about that undecided thing, similar here comes depression, or here comes that down spiral. Only then it goes, 'then talk to me like lovers exercise.' Information technology'southward the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark dazzler that sort of is like the rose that's when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred simply before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."^[2]

Stewart as well said he and Lennox wrote the song while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in New York City. Information technology 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, "Hither comes the rain again". The duo worked out the rest of the song based on that mood.^{[2] [iii]}
