Here Comes the Rain Again
by Eurythmics
"An atmospheric masterpiece where ominous weather mirrors the turbulence of uncertain love."
"Here Comes the Rain Again" is a defining track of the 80s new wave era. Blending Annie Lennox's icy vocals with David A. Stewart's intricate production, it captures a mood of haunting melancholy like no other song.

Production & Composition
Recorded at the tiny Church Studios in London, the song's magic lies in its unexpected combination of synthesizers and the British Philharmonic Orchestra. Dave Stewart accidentally wrote the opening riff after an argument with Lennox, channeling the mood into a minor-key melody that became history.
