Groovy Covers

[sci-nerd 1,904]

"Torn" was a song written by Phil Thornalley and Ednaswap's Anne Preven and Scott Cutler in 1993, but it was first recorded and released by Danish singer Lis Sørensen as "Brændt" (Burned) same year. In 1995 Ednaswap made their own version, and in 1996 Norwegian Trine Rein made yet another. Finally in 1997 Natalie Imbruglia made the version that became the world wide hit. That is four version!

1993 (first recorded version)

1995 (second recorded version)

1996 (third recorded version)

1997 (fourth recorded version)

 

I could tell the same story about "Killing Me Softly With His Song", but it would be six times as long. It became a hit two times, but was recorded more than 60 times!

The song I'm presenting here is amazing. It has a history like no other, and has been interpreted so many times that your head would spin.

You can read the full story on wiki

The interpretations I'd like to present are the modern better known ones, starting with Lead Belly (1939)

Later, in 1972 Danish rock band Gasolin made a version called "Min Tøs" (My Chick)

And finally the version most people know, Nirvana's 1994 version

Just recently watched Pulp Fiction (again), which features the cover. (I almost didn't recognize Neil Diamond!)
