Beth Orton Biography

Beth Orton (born Elizabeth Caroline Orton, 14 December 1970) is a BRIT Award-winning English singer-songwriter, known for her 'folktronica' sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica. She was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers in the mid 1990s. However, these were not Orton's first recordings. She had released a solo album, Superpinkymandy, in 1993. Since the album was only released in Japan, it went largely unnoticed by international audiences. Her second solo album, Trailer Park, garnered much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the albums Central Reservation (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, Daybreaker. In her 2006 release, Comfort of Strangers, she moved towards a more folk-based sound and away from the electronic sound of her past albums.

American films and television programmes such as Felicity, How to Deal, Charmed, Dawson's Creek, Vanilla Sky and Grey's Anatomy have featured her music and provided her with exposure to a more mainstream American audience.

Beth Orton Lyrics

Beth Orton - Sweetest Decline Lyrics

She weaves secrets in her hair
The whispers are not hers to share
She's deep as a well
She's deep as a well

More Beth Orton - Sweetest Decline Lyrics

Beth Orton - She Cries Your Name Lyrics

Falling from the western shore to find yourselves alone again
Wondering where you have been
Your lonely voice calls across the starlit coast
Reaching out to be seen

More Beth Orton - She Cries Your Name Lyrics

Beth Orton - Stars All Seem To Weep Lyrics

Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger
'Cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger

More Beth Orton - Stars All Seem To Weep Lyrics

Beth Orton - Central Reservation Lyrics

Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath
Stepping through brilliant shades, all the color you bring
This time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean

More Beth Orton - Central Reservation Lyrics

Beth Orton - Conceived Lyrics

Want to keep your dream alive?
Can I keep it with mine?
But I'm no good for you
I suppose when you get a cold idea

More Beth Orton - Conceived Lyrics

Beth Orton - Safe In Your Arms Lyrics

Home is where the heartbreak
Wraps cold around my bones
Forgets me if I promise
To forget what I have known

More Beth Orton - Safe In Your Arms Lyrics

Beth Orton - I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine Lyrics

Baby do you know what you did today?
Baby do you know what you took away?
You took the blue out of the sky
My whole life changed when you said goodbye

More Beth Orton - I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine Lyrics

Beth Orton - Blood Red River Lyrics

Took a friend I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forgive her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?

More Beth Orton - Blood Red River Lyrics

Beth Orton - Ooh Child Lyrics

Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh child, things’ll be brighter
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh child, things’ll get brighter
