- "Torn"
Thought I saw a man brought to life
Yeah, he was warm
He came around
He was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
You couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care what your heart is for
No, I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's goin' on
Nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now
I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There are just so many things
That I can't touch I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
The people are little late and already torn when they discovered this original.
The first released version was from Lis Sørensen - Brændt. After that they gave it to Natalie Imbruglia. So however you want to say, Ednaswap wrote the song, but just released their version after Natalie.
This 🤣
@@danielsteiner4825 Ednaswap was the first English recorded version. They released Torn in 1995, Trine Rein released it in 1996, Natalie Imbrulia released it in 1997
I’m 47 and just discovered this fact! 🤯
Natalie’s version is the best for me always. Known it’s not original but only today came to listen to this 😃
Ok. I'm 37. I just discovered that this was the original. I grew up on the cover....but now I appreciate this one as I keep growing.
Me too
It's not. This version came out in 1995, but it was first released in Danish as "Brændt" ("Burnt") by Lis Sørensen in 1993.
41 here
This is NOT the original. The first was in Danish, “Braendt” by Lis Sorensen. BUT, Ednaswap is a band formed by the original songwriters.
At 37, I just now learned this.. but this does negate the funny feelings I felt when I saw Natalie lol
I actually like both versions for their own merits. Natalie Imbruglia's rendition has the vibe of watching the sun setting over the ocean while this one has the vibe of sitting in a poorly lit bar swallowing miseries one glass of whiskey at a time.
I had a totally different comment loaded until I read yours. Nice one, perfect summary 🤘
both ? i know seven ;-)
Ll
I like how your username is just sonovabitch but had the B an A switched 😂
@@JosephLitanIt's because I'm full of BS :)
I actually like this original version. Her voice is fantastic, and the instrumentals fit. I wish the world knew this one
I like it too. Her voice has this grittiness to it that helps make the song sound rawer than Natalie's version. It's the kind of voice I'd hear from an older woman who has lots of experience in love and heartache.
I nod too !

@Ben 1st released but originally written by ednaswap
@@truelovewontwait They may have written the song but this recording was released in 1995 a year after Lis Sorenson recorded it in 1994. Therefore this is not the original version
Wow. Never knew the late 90’s version was a cover. This one has a real bite to it that I really like
Yeah, I thought the song was older than the late 1990s. Glad to have the confirmation.
I like the raspiness of her voice and the song has more depth with the way she sings it.
It sounds even more 90s
Sounds dates, really 90's. Heard the Singer carrying on on the Stern show. She needs to realise Natalie Imbruglia version took that "destined to die with the 90's" factor out of the equation. A pity nobody did the same for Alanis Morissette.
Wow, I was so deep into music at this time, how did I miss that this is the original version? This is so emotional and real. I hope they're Rollin in royalties.
Phil Thornalley, member of Ednaswap and one of the co-writers of Torn, personally gave the song to Natalie Imbruglia. Not only that, but he also produced her cover of the song. They're definitely happy with all the royalties they've received from her version of the song.
@@Jayce_Alexander Thank you for sharing this, it made my heart feel so good.
Because there was no internet to speak of yet. How would you know?
@@ClarkPotterpeople knew about music before the Internet. You'll have to believe me about that
@@bennievargas2673i remember times before internet was an everyday thing, and to be honest i think that it ruined some people knowledge with music. They downloaded mp3 with wrong titles/artists for example, they heard few versions of the same song and were convinced they one they like the most must be the original. I miss the times when forums were more popular, people bought magazines about music, exhanged CD or casettes. It is great to have a source of knowledge like internet, just some folks are too lazy to do fact checking.
Thank you Rick Beato for making me aware of this original song.
Edit: As pointed out by Dave Birch, although they wrote the song, there is an older version by singer Lis Sørensen which is closer in style to Natalie's.
Just saw his one hit wonders of the 90s. Was not aware of this version either!
x2!
x3
Idem pour moi merci de France @rick Beato
Its kind of a rip off of this from a year or 2 earlier ua-cam.com/video/TAaTheN_mc8/v-deo.html
I'm 44 this year.
I was there when "Torn" tore through the airwaves. It wasn't this "Torn" though...I wished it was.
This is the first time I'm listening to this and it's spectacular.
I only learned today that Natalie Imbruglia's version of this song was a cover, so of course I came to YT to listen to all iterations of "Torn". This one is my favorite by far! I wish this one was the more popular version!
Same, you can feel the emotions in this song in her voice.
Same.
Same. And I swear it has nothing to do with teenage me hating Natalie Imbruglia for marrying Daniel Johns🤞
Just realized today!!
Did you find out from csa punch videos lol
I just went down a rabbit hole with this. Apparently it was first recorded in Danish is 1993 by a Danish singer, Lis Sørenson, then in 1994 by the band Ednaswap (who I can’t BELIEVE I never heard of, they were EXACTLY what I loved in the 90s), and AGAIN in 1996 by a Norwegian singer, Trine Rein. My face is exactly like yours right now.
dont forget, created by 2 members of ednaswap in 91'... they perform lived but never recorded.. in 93' the danish singer received the song from a producer who heard it and make lyrics in danish, recorded it.. 2 years later ednaswap realeased studio version
@@mn-bf6ymSo Ednaswap made the very first one ...
I'm just glad to be among the cool people of youtube
Anne Preven, research that name, she is a top songwriter, working for very famous artists since many years ago,
So basically “Torn” was written and performed by Ednaswap from the absolute start
It's 1997 you're at a No Doubt concert and they opened for them. I heard them Live I was 16 (I'm 40 now) and her voice was hauntingly Exceptional. I still to this day seek out Ann Preven (sp?). She did Anntenna, another band after that, I can't find her stuff anymore. 😭 I hope to hear more ✨🖤✨
Yesssss. Saw Ednaswap open for No Doubt in Mountain View. I think it was Ednaswap’s last show. I remember her running out into the audience and maybe throwing her accordion out? Haha. Just before the filming of the show in OC.
I was this many years old when I found this.
This is amazing. Stereotypical 90's female vocalist rock with off beat guitar tones. Her voice is excellent as well.
I don't want to compare any artists in this sentence, but you're right. It's that 90s grungy guitar with the female vocals like Alanis. I sincerely miss the 90s more than anything
Please tell me any songs or bands that has the same vibe as this
Her voice is great! The music sounds so simple. Were things this simple back then? It's like, basic. I miss the 90s but this style drives me nuts now.
@@k.h.307 just a fundamental difference of songs tracked by a live band, very little filler of programmed beats and few overdubs
@@dudinrudeboy7912 you might like garbage, alanis morissette, meredith brooks
Ednaswap Live was Incredible ! I worked w the band early 90's when they first formed. The guitarist Rusty now plays for McCartney , Carla the drummer tours w Jack White , here is the Real breakdown : I have the demo version by Ednaswap 93 , also, 93 was Lis version , Ednaswap official version 94 , Trine Rein 96 , Imbruglia 97
Any chance of us hearing the demo version good man? Or is it the same as this version?
That chord change in the chorus is so good
Knowing this exists has made me re-evaluate my entire childhood.
That’s interesting
Same . But I love these moments. I often find myself liking original versions of songs just a bit more. And this is no different. Adding it to the rotation but in a different playlist since it has a different vibe. Lol😅
@@alwaysxnever With me it was discovering that Harry Nilsson's "Without you" is in fact from a group called Badfinger.ua-cam.com/video/49dquH8tn6E/v-deo.html
Wow! This originial version sounds much more authentic and layered. Vocals are amazing and delivery of the song has more emotional credibility.
The Natalie Imbruglia rendition converts the song into something much more simple, bland and catchy with her flawless, no-make-up-make-up-style, stunning prettiness sparkling through 90s grunge and ordinariness of filming outakes. Theres nothing wrong with pure pop and posing, but it's really good to hear the source... something I only checked after learning it for an easy-chord, throwaway opener for open mic nights.
(...Am I alone in thinking it's extraordinary and puzzling how Imbruglia just looks so much more attractive with short hair?)
I like her vocals better but the iistrumenalization on the other track. Smash them together and you have a “if it makes you happy” gritty pop song.
Touch grass
@@FirstLast-il6ok Same. I definitely prefer the instrumentals on Natalie's version. Maybe it's just because it seems like the instruments are drowning out the vocals at times.
OMG this is so much better than the cover in my opinion. More rock and just sounds more fun without all the polish the studio did to this song.
It’s also not a love song.
It’s about a mental patient.
Saw this band live in the 90s and bought the CD, a long time later heard the popular cover version on an airplane. When it became a hit, no one believed me that it wasn't the original. This one is so much better, it's a sad song not an upbeat one.
lol this isnt orignal
@@bankaiup But it is.
@@Calvin1911 Lis Sørensen was the OG
@@bankaiup Anne Preven and Scott Cutler wrote the song, Torn, and sang it live as a solo as early as 1991 but never recorded . It’s true Lis was first to formally record it but it was Anne and Scott who first perform and created the song. So I’d say the people who wrote the song and first performed it is the OG.
Loved this song since 1998.
It's only today I hear the original
@Ben Original of what? which version came first of all the three?
This group have 3 versions all these are the original there is 👎 More jeje
I only knew just some 10 years ago the Natalie version was a cover but for some reason I totally forgot to check the original version. Only now that Rick Beato mention this song again in his content, went straight here to finally listen to it. And lemme just say, yeah, the original is always the best 🙂
haha! same reason i just went straight here ;-)
Same. But frankly, the vocals are flat out better here. IMHO everything is better except one tiny thing: the third chord in the pre-chorus and chorus is better in the Natalie version. Of course, I'm the minority here, because I love pop chord progressions and everyone else seems to hate them.
@@eliteteamkiller319 This is still a pop chord progression imho, it's just the "less obvious option". Everyone who has ever played in a Rockband knows that moment when some band member (usually the lead-guitarist) says: "let's make it more interesting" and adds some chord that still fits the vocals but just doesn't do the job as good. So I also root for Natalie's version in this regard.
@@HarryMason_85 Yeah, you're right. I should say it's _less_ popular.
Well technically this is also a cover,
This is the Original version of the song in English, The "Original Original" version of the song is in Danish called Brændt and was released in 1993 a year earlier by Lis Sorensen
I think i've never heard a song as 90's sounding as this one! It screams the 90's. I love the progression, from a nonchalant beginning to a vigorous chorus combined with her voice and instrumentals. Love this version.
My life is a lie. But this is amazing and I love it!
How was this not a bigger hit
It was, just not by them.
This is so much better than the popular version. Life is unfair.
It’s ok to like both
So raw and raspy!!! I love it!!!
They cried all their way to the bank
Always wondered why a pop song sounded so good...this is why...respect to the original artist's
Even better!😊
The best version in my opinion. Love Ednaswap, it's a shame they never got the appreciation or recognition they deserved.
yeah man,, all the credits goes to natalie which was cover version only of the orginal
@@kingkingdelfin893 So you would be happy with Ednaswap's cover but not with Natalie? Hypocritical much?
@@basedalex give credits to the real owner of the song, you hipocryts
@@basedalexThis is the original
This song played a big part in my life in 2002. It’s quite a story, but the lyrics resonated so hard for me at the time, literally and figuratively. Someone I knew very well was frontman for a local band and knew this version and the band members. He played this original version for me knowing that I would relate even more to this grittier version. He arranged for me to sing it at a venue where the person I needed to hear it would be, and I did. He knew right away I was talking to him through this song and I sang it as if I was had written and lived every word. I was finally able to say what I wasn’t able to express at the time. Twenty years later, and I still feel its power and am still dealing with the events that made this song so real to me. Emotionally, I am 99% but physically…I will never be the same.
F.U.B.S! You were an illusion.
Just found out this is the original version and both are great.
Sorry Natty, I loved you, but now the truth is revealed... THIS is the masterpiece!!!!!!!
The lead singer of this band did an acoustic version on her own. This is the masterpiece, in my opinion.
ua-cam.com/video/Z6E2whjUOcY/v-deo.html
Such a great and well written song. The lead singer has actually co written songs with a friend of mine for Demi Lovato and Lea Michele. It's definitely a beautiful song and better than the more well known cover
This version is so much better. Feels more honest and heartfelt too.
So this is the original ?!!
Just unbelievable... I'm glad I learned that today.
Of course, this was always the original
Technically not the original version. This one came out in 1995, but it was first released in Danish as "Brændt" ("Burnt") by Lis Sørensen in 1993.
True but this version is the band the songwriters were a part of, so they can claim it :)
So sad this version isn't on Spotify. The only torn version there by Ednaswap, is a very slow (but nice) version.
Yeah, I just looked there, and they STILL don't have this original version. Slighty disappointed.
Word
So, is this THE original version, or the slower one?
yeah i was just thinking that! what the heck? this version should be on Wacko Magneto right?
If you love this version wait until you hear the slower version she did on Howard Stern. Incredible. ua-cam.com/video/suPEni1CCYs/v-deo.html
I love the style of this version, the voice, the guitars ❤️
I hope many people discover this version quickly. it's a blessing.
I just found out Imbruglia's was a cover. I think the pain really comes through on this version.
I like this version, but honestly, Natalie's version hit direct on my heart and makes me feels more the lyrics.
Like everyone here I'm sure. I just found out that this is the original like 2 minutes ago. lol! This is Good!!!! But I guess Natalie put it on the map.
Thank you, Rob Harvilla!! Wouldn't have found this without your amazing podcast.
This actually slaps. The chromatic walks, the guitar... Natalie really softened this up.
Never knew this. Much more interesting than the cover, and I don't hate myself for liking it!
Why would you hate yourself for liking it? It doesn't make sense.
yes more interesting. pay attention to the left vs right output. so much creativity going on. it feels like Natalie Imbruglia's cover is just a simplified version imho.
This original version shows me the disappointment that comes after thinking about it for a long time, concluding that there is nothing, even if I keep looking. The ideal voice for this song. Greetings from Chile
I saw them and Blues Travelers on my Birthday back in the 90s in a great little bar downtown Orlando. They were great. I brought my best friend and we both got their CD at the show so I did know it was their song.
50 years old in a week and today I learned that Natalie Imbruglia's was a cover.
I will never sing this song the same way again after listening to this ver. This gives me the feels.
I'm here because of the Torn episode of the podcast "60 songs that explain the 90s". This is now my favorite version of the song. Wow.
It's like Céline Dion's song It's all coming back to me now. The songwriter wrote it for Meatloaf, but he didn't want it for his album at the time. So it was given to a soap rock group Pandora's Box.
Thank you for that. When celine sang that song, I personally always felt it should be a meatloaf song. Now I know why.
OMG! This version, the original is AMAZING!! 🎉🎉 I love her voice! They must’ve wanted a softer voice for the masses or something. But this Sounds Devine as is!!
technically not the original.
@@lowrivera Where’s the original is this isn’t it?
@@Ambientdreamgirl the Original artist for this song is Lis Sørensen, a Dutch singer and translated as Burnt, in 1993. The big thing with this version is that this band is made up of the original song writers. That said, the aforementioned Sørensen was very first artist to record and release the song.
@@lowrivera Thanks for this! I love the background story 💜. I’m going to look up the original singer as well!
OMG the "lift" as she hits the second chorus is sooooooo damn cool!!!
I really like this version!! I’m used to the original being okay and the famous cover being eons better, but I think they are equally good in this case!
I never knew, I just found out yesterday from one of my you tube personalities I follow. I feel like such a dunce, 🤦🏻♀️This one’s just as beautiful a little more raw! I like both the original & cover by Natalie. They’re somewhat the same but different! It’s just such a great song! Just glad it came to be, 🙏❤️
I am today's years old when I discover that this is the original singer 🥲🥲
Holy shit! It feels kinda weird get to know this is the original
"It was first recorded in 1993 in Danish (renamed "Brændt", Danish for "Burned") by Danish singer Lis Sørensen, then in 1994 by Cutler and Preven's American rock band Ednaswap, and in 1996 by American-Norwegian singer Trine Rein." wow so Natalie Imbruglia was the 3rd artist to cover this song, what the heck world am i living in right now?
It isn't the original
@@Neurotripsicks This isn't a cover though. Preven and Cutler from EdnaSwap wrote the original song, so they're performing their own song.
Hmmm it definitely has a different feel than the version I’m accustomed to but that’s not a bad thing. I’m glad I know though
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Hearing this for the first time today and of course it’s great- that’s why it was covered 👏
This song is exceptional. I like every version of it I have ever heard. Over the years, I would guess it has served as a kind of ATM machine for the writers. And they deserve it. It usually takes some real dedication to the craft to get to something this good.
Such a great thing about the interpretation and subjectivity of music. Either way it’s a great song, either rendition goes hard! Nice comments!
1st time I hear the original - It basically puts Natalie Imbruglia's cover in the corner, this is so much more dynamic and unexpected, and yes, it feels more like an original ;)
Technically not the original version. This one came out in 1995, but it was first released in Danish as "Brændt" ("Burnt") by Lis Sørensen in 1993.
Great vocal, I love the life in the recording and it's a good song!
Thank you.
Tremendo, perfecto! Saludos desde Tarija, Bolivia!
Thank you I haven't been able to find this version in quite some time. Much ❤
The Original One. Good Song.
That's why natalie always talked about the other songs were her favorite to play live and tried to talk about them in interviews...
woah! i kinda like this version more! and this is the original. it communicates the whole idea!!!
So glad I found the original! I like it as much as the cover
Technically not the original version. This one came out in 1995, but it was first released in Danish as "Brændt" ("Burnt") by Lis Sørensen in 1993.
30 AF brought me here, never knew this existed!
What a name for a band!
The bends at the end always make me start the track again
Oooh. This original hits harder. Glad I found it.
Good for the old days. Prefer the latest one.
What a journey to get here! 👏🏾
This is a very gritty (in a good way) and heartfelt version. I like it.
Just found this out a minute ago. Must be wild to see someone get famous off your work. Even if you get royalties, damn that be depressing if everyone associates some else forever with a song they think they wrote.
And very very little has changed with the vocals. The cover just put way better instrumentals to it (imo).
@@lebagel I actually like this. It sounds so much more interesting. Natalie Imbruglia's version was just like a straight-up version, while this one has more things going on with more complex arrangement.
I'm sure she's so depressed taking those worldwide hit royalties
It's actually not very unusual. Elvis said he never even had a thought or idea to write a song in his life.
i'm pretty sure this isn't the original either, the original is a danish song called Brændt.
Uuuhhhh this is a better version. How the hell did natalie make this more famous? Hope this band gets massive royalties.
I love the guitar arrangement in the verse
There have been many recordings of this song, in different languages too. Not sure if this is the first, but Ednaswap put a little bite & attitude into their own song, pretty good I think.
Huh, here I thought I didn't know the original and I definitely knew the original.
Mind unblown.
This is so good.
I actually loved this original. really suits her voice. Now i'm torn between this and Natalie's haha 💔
Technically not the original version. This one came out in 1995, but it was first released in Danish as "Brændt" ("Burnt") by Lis Sørensen in 1993.
love the grungy vibe
I'm here from Rick Beato , I didn't even know this existed...and this ROCKS!!!!
Sometimes a song just kicks around until the timing is right I guess. I think the history of this one is pretty neat
I like both versions !
Such a great sound.
Oh yes this Original Version is The Best for a Long Time 🎧🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊❤️
This is actually pretty good :o how come I never knew about it...
80s radio was hard to get on with the supergroups
Lovely voice.
Love the original version - way more natural - more people need to know this version
Whoa !!! Just rebooted rebirth the song 🎶 so many thanks ☺️
I like this version a lot, the one thing I like about the Natalie Imbruglia and Danish versions is the third chord in the chorus is different. If this one had that it'd be the best one for sure
I always thought the Danish version was the original... Never heard this one before until now
@@MichaelIp Danish version is original recorded, yes-but this band is the originator of the song.
I just figured out this is the original song where have you been all this time 🫡
This version is way better 😮
Totally best version out there!!!!
I’m repeatedly listening. It’s more like rock
I can't believe that this version didn't became number 1 !!!!
Like the rawness in her voice ❤
I am 40 yrs old...Yeah...40 Freakin yrs..and today only I discovered that this is the original version
The original of this franchise song is
Brændt by the Danish artist Lis Sørensen released in 1993 (the lyric is in Danish)
Then Ednaswap first in English 1995
then the world’s hit Imbruglia’s version in 1997
Its goes a bit deeper. Ednaswap actually wrote the song and recorded a demo of it in 92/93, which their record label Warner didnt like and "threw out," when in actuality the song made its way to Lis Sørenson, making her the first one to "officially" perform the song
The original Grunge version.
