Tears For Fears | Pale Shelter (1982)

"Pale Shelter" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was originally the band's second single release in early 1982.

The original version of the song, entitled "Pale Shelter (You Don't Give Me Love)", would not see chart success at the time of its original UK release. However, it would later become a top 20 hit in Canada and would become a top 75 hit when it was reissued in the UK in 1985.


The generally better-known version was a re-recording from 1983. This version eventually became the third UK top 5 chart hit taken from Tears for Fears' debut LP The Hurting (1983), peaking at number 5.


As with the previous two singles, the song also reached the top 40 in several other countries.
