Torn
I was surprised to learn a long time after enjoying the Natalie Imbruglia version of this song that it was a cover originally written and performed by girl-fronted band Ednaswap a few years earlier. It made me think its kind of sad when an artist gets a ton of success off of another lesser-known bands material, but if the sound of the cover is better than really, thats all she wrote.

Comments about Torn:
I love Natalie, and not just because of Torn. I think it's a shame she's only known for this one song, when she has 4 great (IMO) albums. With that being said, Ednaswap's version is amazing. I heard the acoustic verson on YouTube, and I was blown away. I like their version better.

Sorry Jens, Lis Sorensen's version was released first but the song was written by Ednaswap members and their producer, Phil Thornalley, who also produced Sorensen's album.

I stumbled across the Ednaswap totally acoustic version of "Torn" and was blown away. I think the original version is so much more real and powerful than Natalie's "pop" version. Sadly, not many people have heard the original to compare.
To me, the song IS a very gut-wrenching, sad song that Natalie's version totally disregards. The acoustic version matches the intent of the lyrics with the emotional pain and angst of the singer. Natalie's version feels like a slap in the face to me; how can someone sing about lying naked and bleeding in pain like she's happy about it? (upbeat tempo and all..)
I've been complaining about this for awhile; glad I finally got to record my gripe!

The acoustic version by Ednaswap is amazing. Search "Annetenna (Ednaswap) - Torn (Acoustic)" on youtube.

The song from Natalie is so beautiful and makes you feel something that you don't feel with the other versions, something is missing in the other versions, I think, The other groups or singers do not put all their heart on it, Natalie sing with all of her heart, sorry for repeat the message, just a little correction :)

Natalie Imbruglia turns the dark, raw and inaccessible Torn into a catchy pop song. I think that people who claim there is no emotion in this are wrong - Imbruglia's lonely-girl vocals really makes this track a wonderful experience to listen to!

An italian punk-rock band called "The New Story" has performed a cover of this song on their album "Untold Stories". Listen to it! IMHO it's awesome!
