hey kids! every once in a while i have a moment where i'm all 'oh shit has that much time really passed?!?' tonight i had one o' those moments when i discovered that natalie imbruglia's big hit song torn is ten years old! (join the aussie on myspace) i swear '97 feels just like yesterday! (i turn 32 in january - a totally depressing thought...) when i first heard of her - the song completely annoyed me but after hearing it for like the millionth time i was finally won over - yet it wasn't until i picked up her debut disc left of the middle which actually is one of my all-time favorite albums! (her 2nd & 3rd albums unfortunately never achieved the commercial success of the first one) on september 10th she'll be releasing glorious: the singles 1997-2007 - containing a bunch of her singles along with two new tracks 'glorious' & 'be with you' (she's apparently working on a brand new 4th album which will be released in '08 - i know she has another huge hit inside of her) plus it will come with a DVD of her videos - the huge bummer is though that it won't be getting a proper stateside release - it'll be heading to europe, asia & australia! (whoever makes those decisions sucks!) i've posted the brand new video for 'glorious' below - plus two vintage tracks 'smoke' & 'big mistake' - all three songs kick ass! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!

NATALIE IMBRUGLIA'S TORN WAS TEN YEARS AGO?!?

It's not actually Nat's song- it was originally performed by a Norwegian chick named Trine Rein. She rocked it a way Nat was unable to.
Not that I'm dissing Nat- a lot of her stuff is awesome, but just saying her version of that particular song was inferior.

I love Natalie Imbruglia! and now that I think about it... damn! time really did fly by! She's also married to another awesome Aussie, Daniel Johns of the band silverchair. LOVE them!

"Torn" was no doubt great in the norwegian version, but origins from LA:

Funny, I just had the same "'oh shit has that much time really passed?" moment while watching a home video from 1998 where Torn was playing in the background. Doing a search to confirm the year Torn was released brought me to this site.
