Aside from "Let My Love Open The Door" (used prominently in the trailer treatment), upcoming Steve Carrell vehicle Dan In Real Life features music composed and performed by 25-year-old Norwegian lounge/folk-pop cutie Sondre Lerche. (Sondre gets guest help from Regina Spektor, the Faces Down Quartet, and Lillian Samdal, too.) The Dan's director Peter Hedges sald Sondre's music "has a depth to it and you feel that this is a man who believes in love." Bergen's resident lover of love hit Letterman the other day, armed with the Dan In Reali Life's Official Sondretrack tune "To Be Surprised," a sort of rollicking, Nashvillian country-folk jangler. He's joined by Norah Jones's usual backers (the Handsome Family Band: Andrew Borger on drums, Adam Levy on guitar, Norah's BF Lee Alexander on bass; no Daru Oda, though) and although the overall take away's just so-so, it does mean we get Letterman, Carrell, and Sondre in one post. So, score.
