"Light Surrounding You" is the second single by Evermore, taken from their second studio album Real Life. It was written by Dann Hume, the drummer.
The song debuted in Australia's ARIA Singles Chart. Fourteen weeks later the song reached number one, making it Evermore's most successful single. It was also the first single by a New Zealand artist to reach #1 in the Australian charts since "How Bizarre" by OMC.
Talking to Warner, Dann explained that “this song is about someone who had all the potential in the world but they didn’t believe in themselves”.
The film clip also features Australian actress Emily Browning. The song was used as a tribute to the character Sally in the 2006 season finale of Home and Away, while was earlier used for the Channel Ten series premiere of American show Jericho
In New Zealand the song was used in TV One's on-air identity package.[1]
