Blood on the Tracks track listing | |
"Shelter from the Storm" is a song by Bob Dylan, released on his 15th studio album, Blood on the Tracks, in 1975.
Along with "Tangled Up in Blue", "Shelter from the Storm" was one of two songs from Blood on the Tracks to be re-released on the 2000 compilation The Essential Bob Dylan. The song also appears on two live albums by Bob Dylan — Hard Rain (from a May 1976 performance) and At Budokan (recorded in February 1978).
A first take of the song, from the same recording session that produced the album track, is featured in the soundtrack of the 1996 film Jerry Maguire. This outtake was also included on The Best of Bob Dylan, Vol. 1 (1997).
Further appearances are in the Alias episode "Trust Me", the Criminal Minds episode "The Instincts", the FlashForward episode "Believe", and the movies Warm Bodies, St. Vincent, and Steve Jobs. The Criminal Minds episode also includes several notations about Dylan, and the quote, "I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay," is read by the fictional character Spencer Reid (played by Matthew Gray Gubler). The song also appeared in the Numb3rs second season finale, "Hot Shot," and in the third episode of the National Geographic Channel's 2016 miniseries Mars.
