TORN - EDNASWAP original artists

Rusty Anderson rocks!

This song "Torn" was a HUGE hit for Lis Sørensen. A Danish pop star since the 1970´s under the name "Brændt" all the way back in 1994:-)

Check the recorded version of it out here on You Tube:-)
I love her version, even though it´s in Danish.

Also, 'taken'? I'm sure they got their fair deal of royalties for that cover and I'm sure that if they didn't want to they could just say 'No, you can't cover us, write your own.' but that would mean they miss in on a lot of cash.

Love the lyrics though.

Oh don 't be a drama queen, my bet is that at max two people in this band 'wrote' this and the rest just played as they got told to play.

Besides, the DJ Funkatron Techno remix of Imbruglia > all.

I wrote that and yeah, they did write it. She covered it and translated it to English. It says it all right there in the Wiki entry.

I like this version so much better after a few times I listened to it. It sounds so raw and more emotion plus u cant go wrong with a sick grungy guitar that kicks in.

I like Natalie Imbruglia's version better, but then it's normal to prefer what you heard first.

Here's why:

If there are two versions of a song, and you hear the version you like better first, you'll remember it, and if you hear the other version it will sound inferior.

But if you hear the other version first, you won't like it as much, which means you won't seek out any other versions, which means you'll never have a chance to say you found a second version you liked better!

Q.E.D!

Nicely concluded! But I believe, you overlooked something: Often one of the versions is commercially more successful, as in this case. The more successful version is more successful since it appeals to more listeners (trivial, but:). It does not matter, whether this is the original version or a cover. However, you are much more _likely_ to hear this version first, since it is broadcasted more. This is a positive feedback loop.

That is so true, as "each to their own" applies to what you're saying...but just don't forget that this is the original version! :))

I heard imbruglia's first and I like this one better. Just sayin
