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:
Natalie Imbruglia takes a deep, sultry song and makes it into a pop ballad that fails to portray any true emotion through her voice.

The Ednaswap link above is NOT to their original (better) version. The best version of the song is on their self-titled debut.
