"I'll Be Your Shelter" is a song performed by Taylor Dayne. Released as the third single from Dayne's second album, Can't Fight Fate. This song was quite the departure from her dance roots, an intense rock song with amazing vocals, easy tune to get stuck in your head, specially with the hook that runs after the chorus "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na".
The song was written by Diane Warren, who wrote two other songs on Can't Fight Fate, including the title track.
As explained by Diane Warren on American Top 40 with Shadoe Stevens, she originally intended for the song to be sung by Tina Turner, but when she refused, Taylor ended up singing it instead.
It features background vocals by Kathy Troccoli.
[edit] Chart performance
This was Dayne's seventh consecutive and final U.S. Top 10 single in the Billboard Hot 100.
The song reached #1 in Canada for one week in August of 1990.
[edit] Music Video
The video was directed by Dominic Sena (Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 short film), now a film director of such films as "Gone in 60 Seconds" and "Swordfish" among others. The video would be later included in Taylor's music video collection "Twist Of Fate".
[edit] Remix
Even though mainly a rock song, 2 remixes were produced of the song, giving it a more pop sound. It was simply title "I'll Be Your Shelter (Extended Remix) and (Groove Mix)". It was very hard to find until recently when it was released on her collection of remixes "Dance Diva: Remixes & Rarities".
