3-11 Porter - Surround Me

3-11 Porter is a Norwegian band, formed by Per Arne Bertheussen in Oslo in 1997. The other band members are Svein Hansen and Tracee Meyn. The song ‘Surround Me’ was remixed by Mental Overdrive and became 3-11 Porter’s international breakthrough when it appeared on Hôtel Costes, Vol. 6. In 2008, the song appeared on the soundtrack of the film Fireflies in the Garden starring Julia Roberts (on which below clip is based).

This original version of Surround Me sound perhaps a bit naked and flat when comparing to the more famous Mental Overdrive remix, but to me (in all its simplicity) it is authentic and honest, and one of the most beautiful songs of the past decade.
