"'''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)'''",
▲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 Singles Chart|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.

==Release and reissues==
"Pale Shelter" was initially released in 1982 as a United Kingdom-only single in both 7" and 12" formats. The 7" features the original recording of the song, while the 12" features an extended version. Both formats featured the B-side "The Prisoner", a noisy, electronic piece inspired by the Peter Gabriel song "[[Intruder (song)|Intruder]]", which showed off the duo's early experiments with synthesizers and sampling.<ref name="LinerNotes1999"/> Like "Pale Shelter", this song would also be re-recorded for inclusion on the album ''The Hurting''. Although the single attracted some [[Nightclub|club play]] in the
In 1983, after the success of singles "[[Mad World]]" and "[[Change (Tears for Fears song)|Change]]", the re-recorded version of "Pale Shelter" was given another shot as a single, released in the United Kingdom and Europe in both 7" and 12" formats. The 7" features a slightly edited version of the album cut, while the 12" features a new extended version. To provide a chart push the second time around, [[Mercury Records|Mercury]] took full advantage of the [[picture disc]] and coloured vinyl gimmicks that were popular throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. In all, eleven different variations of the reissued single were available for purchase. All formats of the reissue featured the B-side "We Are Broken", an early version of the song "Broken" which would later appear on Tears for Fears' second album ''[[Songs from the Big Chair]]''. Aided by aggressive promotion and the duo's coinciding British concerts (at many of which the song was played twice), "Pale Shelter" finally became a chart success, peaking at No. 5 in the United Kingdom.<ref name="UK"/>

===Canadian special edit===
Although "Pale Shelter" was not released commercially in the United States, it was issued in [[Canada]] in early 1983 to promote ''The Hurting'', albeit in different form. Instead of using the Hughes/Cullum recording found on the album itself, the record company released a unique edit of the original Mike Howlett-produced extended version, which became a top 20 hit in that country.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/028020/f2/nlc008388.4385.pdf| title=RPM Top 50 Singles - November 5, 1983}}</ref>
In 2016, "Pale Shelter" was prominently sampled in the song "[[Secrets (The Weeknd song)|Secrets]]" by Canadian singer [[
==Music video==
The promotional music video for "Pale Shelter" was directed by [[Steve Barron]] in early 1983 in [[Los Angeles]].<ref>{{cite AV media notes|title= Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82-92) |others= Tears for Fears |year= 1992 |type= VHS |publisher= Mercury Records}}</ref> The video, which features a number of odd juxtapositions (including a police officer directing traffic and a live alligator in a swimming pool), is notable for the scene of an imprint of a giant iron on a runway at [[Los Angeles International Airport]], with steam apparently coming off the tarmac, onto which Smith and Orzabal walk, and another scene in which the pair walk into a sea of flying paper aeroplanes, with one of them hitting Orzabal directly in the eye. The clip has been included on various Tears
