"Torn" is a song written by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven—who composed all of the lyrics—and Phil Thornalley in 1991 as a solo song for Preven. It was recorded and performed live during this period, but not given its first formal release until 1993, when Danish singer Lis Sørensen released the song in Danish under the title "Brændt" ([pʁænˀt], meaning 'burnt').

Cutler and Preven formed an alternative rock band, Ednaswap, in 1993. Ednaswap gave "Torn" its first formal English-language release in 1995, where it was released as a single from their self-titled debut. Later, in 1996, the first English-language cover, by American-Norwegian singer Trine Rein, was produced and released.

The best known version of "Torn" is sung by Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia, who covered it for her 1997 debut single. Her version was produced by Thornalley; it peaked at number one on the singles charts of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Spain, and Sweden, as well as on three US Billboard charts. Imbruglia's version sold over four million copies worldwide.

Imbruglia received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the song, which lost to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". The accompanying music video for "Torn" features British actor Jeremy Sheffield.

Good morning Trissie and thank you for the start.

I'll keep this short as I don't want to lose this post - I'm having problems getting onto these boards. (Not sure if the site is down or whether there's a spam bot problem? I keep getting messages about the site having reached capacity?!!)

Anyway, I'm hoping for a "normal" day today, with DH WFH and me attacking the housework. If it stops raining long enough I'd like to go for a walk. This is now the season of walks round the estate, as the calley park will be far too wet and muddy!

Back from a very nice walk. I kept to the estate, but included the wooded walk by the stream that has mostly tarmac underfoot. There were a few sprinkles of rain, but mostly when I was under the cover of the trees. The leaves are turning now, and there are some beautiful tones of red and gold.

Having coffee now, then I'll have a quick leaf picking session in my garden before I start the housework.
