You Surround Me

"You Surround Me" is a song by English synth-pop duo Erasure that was issued in November 1989 by Mute Records as the second single from the band's fourth studio album, Wild!

Ned Raggett from AllMusic declared "You Surround Me" as "another flat-out winner—it's another slow ballad, but with big, echoing backing that adds a sense of extra theatricality.

"[3] Paul Lester from Melody Maker wrote, "Another odd choice for a single, 'You Surround Me' has a hookline so slender it's scarcely visible to the naked ear, and a beat that, next to all the great house and hip hop records available at present, is just too weak to count.

[6] Christopher Smith from Talk About Pop Music viewed it as "a brooding number with Vince turning on the synths at maximum level while Andy remains in subdued restraint for the most part.

It features Clarke and Bell performing on a three-level circular stage set, with cityscapes superimposed at various points during the song through a mixture of chroma key and ordinary vision mixing.
