Andrew Eldritch wrote and produced the music, but for contractual reasons was unable to sing officially, as Warner still held him under contract. It was commonly believed (and said so in the press) that James Ray sang/spoke all of the lyrics, until Ray denied singing on The Sisterhood's version of Colours, in an interview with the Heartland fan-site here. Ray confirmed as well in another interview that it was Lucas Fox doing the vocals for Rain From Heaven.
