BETH ORTON... I WISH I NEVER SAW THE SUNSHINE

From the album entitled, Trailer Park

Elizabeth Caroline Orton,[1] commonly known as Beth Orton, (born 14 December 1970), is a BRIT Awardwinning 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 — but these were not Orton's first recordings. She 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. With the release of the albums Central Reservation (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album Daybreaker, Beth developed a devoted fan base. On her 2006 release, Comfort of Strangers, she has moved towards a more folk-based sound and away from the electronic sound of 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 an American mainstream audience.

I've turned to this song so many times to express to myself how I feel. Can't remember being left but the emotion is there. This is one of the few songs that even comes close. It's beautiful. It reaches people. It reached me. x

I was traveling the states when I 1st heard this song in 05,just got married in Vegas,it made me think of my Dad in Australia fighting cancer who wanted me to go on the trip and I sort of lost the happy moment I was in. He didn't make it but this always reminds me of him and I listen to this song when I'm down now because no matter how bad things get,someone else is worse off,that's been my motto since then.

Oh and my wife and I are still together of course. Who said Vegas marriage's don't last!

This song is the song that defines the one year I had with my fiancee before he died of liver cancer from hep-c.
