Pale Shelter

Pale Shelter is the title of a song recorded and released by British group Tears For Fears. It was originally released as the group's second single in March 1982, with parenthesised sub-title '(you don't give me love)' although failed to chart. It was later re-recorded and re-released as the follow-up to second chart success Change and reached no.5 in May 1983. The new version also featured on the original release of the group's debut album The Hurting, making Pale Shelter the third and final single to be taken from the album.

The song was written by Tears For Fears core-members R. Orzabal and C. Smith. Produced by Mike Howlett, the original 1982 recording features on 30th anniversary editions of The Hurting. Both versions were also released with extended versions on the 12" release. The 1982 release features an early version of The prisoner on the B-side, whereas the 1983 hit single featured We Are Broken.
