TORN - EDNASWAP original artists

The song "Torn" by the band that wrote and recorded it before it was taken from them. Real musicians manually playing musical instruments on a song THEY ACTUALLY WROTE. From "Wacko Magneto" 1997 * Anne Preven - Vocals * Rusty Anderson - Guitar * Scott Cutler - Guitar * Paul Bushnell - Bass * Carla Azar - Drums

Ednaswap was a band from Los Angeles, United States. They existed between 1993 and 1998. Frontwoman Anne Preven came up with the band's name after she dreamed she was in a band of the same name that was so bad they were booed off-stage.

"Real musicians manually playing musical instruments on a song THEY ACTUALLY WROTE." What a dumb-ass comment to make. From someone who probably has done neither.

The writers were given full credit and probably made more in royalties, (and continue to), from Natalie's version than they ever made in total for the 5 years that they were in existence.

Where ever they happen to be today, I am sure that they gladly cash those checks, and look forward to the next ones.

Well, thank you Wikipedia...

It was from their first album which came out in 1995, it was the second single and also came out that year, two years before Natalie Imbruglia's cover.

Anne even said on that Howard Stern interview this song did a lot for them when Natalie released it. But at the same time. FFS people, enjoy this song. Everyone is here because they love Anne's voice over Natalie.

holy shit...thank god natalie covered the song.

[Stoneyeyey]

They did not. They wanted to release it as the SECOND single from their album, including a musicvideo. they wanted to release it for real. but they couldn't cuz it would have failed anyway. They said it in an interview before they split, so they know better I guess.

Ednaswap released their single BEFORE Natalie did...

Well iot worked out for Rusty Anderson - I saw him last year playing guitar for Paul McCartney. Extremely talented musician...

[Stoneyeyey]

I know it was given to her. But her release of the song was so famous that Ednaswap could't release it as a single anymore. They wanted to release it as the 2. single from their album.

This is actually a secondary release of the song... Ednaswap released prior version that sounds very similar to the other cover versions...

[justschr]

And willfully gave the song to other artists... Lis Sørensen's was the first to actually release the song in 1993... The writers did not release their version until three years later... Members of the band have been involved in all of the three covers that have been released...

[justschr]

The song was willfully given to all the artists that have covered it... In fact the first official recording of the song was by a Danish artist in 1993... Three years before Ednaswap attempted to release any of the three versions they recorded... That being said members of this band were involved with each of the three artists that have released versions of it...
