"Here Comes The Rain Again"

AMAZING EURYTHMICS COVER
BY JOSS STONE

"Here Comes the Rain Again' is kind of a perfect one where it has a mixture of things. The whole song was about that undecided thing, like here comes depression, or here comes that downward spiral.' It's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that's when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred just before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments" Stewart from Eurythmics.

"Here Comes the Rain Again" is a 1984 song by British duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. Joss Stone; the English singer, songwriter and actress; sings with her own style a surprising cover of this classic song of the 80s. Watch NOW this Amazing performance by Joss Stone of this great Song of Eurythmics...

The song was released on 12 January 1984 as the third single in the UK from the album Touch and in the United States as the first single. It became Eurythmics' second Top 10 U.S. hit, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Here Comes the Rain Again" hit number eight in the UK Singles Chart, becoming their fifth consecutive Top 10 single in that country.

Stone grew up listening to a wide variety of music including 1960s and 1970s American R&B and soul music performed by such artists as Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin. As a result, she developed a soulful style of singing like her idols. "My first CD that I owned was Aretha Franklin: Greatest Hits. And I saw the advert on TV and it was just like little clips of her songs. I had no idea who she was—I was only like 10 so. I said, 'Oh yeah, that looks really good', so I wrote it down and I said to my mum, 'Can I have that for Christmas?' So she told my friend Dennis, who always gets me good music anyway, and he got that for me. So that was one of my first albums that I loved." She would later tell MTV News: "I kind of clicked into soul music more than anything else because of the vocals. You've got to have good vocals to sing soul music and I always liked it ever since I was little."

"I can't read music or play an instrument. I'm not particularly educated in any of it. Information, names, years, song titles, I don't have any interest. I just like listening to music and becoming a part of it. I hear it in my head, and then I can sing it to you."

Stone possesses the vocal range of a mezzo-soprano and contralto. She is also known for performing barefoot.

HERE COMES THE RAIN AGAIN
by Eurythmics

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

Talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Stewart from Eurythmics 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 one where it has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-minor, but then I change it to put a b-natural in, and so it kind of feels like that minor is suspended, or major. So it's kind of a weird course. And of course that starts the whole song, and the whole song was about that undecided thing, like here comes depression, or here comes that downward spiral. But then it goes, 'so talk to me like lovers do.' It's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that's when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred just before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."
