@TheRealAdamT There were 3 people who wrote this song - Anne Preven & Scott Cutler of "Ednaswap" and Phil Thornalley who was a record producer/engineer. Thornalley produced Imbruglia's record for BMG and it was his idea that Imbruglia record this cover.

Ednaswap released 3 versions of "Torn" (the last one mere months more Imbruglia's cover). The latter two versions were quite different-sounding. Obviously, Ednaswap was desperately trying to make a very good song work for them.

@FOTSOproductions  you're too right ..

I'd also add that Preven and Cutler are not displeased at their income since the Imbruglia version!

[FOTSOproductions]

@kpmmartin Right sound, too... the acoustic guitar in the Imbruglia cover softens the edges of the song enough to attract a mainstream audience. Of course, I'd rather have the snarling Anne Preven vocal and the crunchier guitars, but I'm not the target audience for pop music.

@TheRealAdamT .. right face, right time!

Poor marketing? Bad management? This original sounds better than the overly polished Imbruglia version and actually has a personality to it. The ironic thing is, they give this song to a cute little actress to sing, and she changes her physical appearance and style to be more like Anne's. I'll never understand the music business.
