Perhaps best described as a folk/electronica artist, Beth Ortonwas born in East Dereham, Norfolk, and moved to East London at age 14. Orton found success as a musician late, having been more interested in acting during her early career. She first gained notice in 1995 for her vocals on The Chemical Brothers' track "Alive Alone" and is well known for her collaboration (stemming from a relationship) with William Orbitin which she lends her voice for the Strange Cargoalbums. The collaboration with Orbit named SuperPinkyMandy, though of excellent sound, was only released in very limited numbers in Japan. Orton's first solo album, Trailer Park, was released in 1996.

Beautiful World Lyrics
Beth Orton
looks like you're never coming home
looks like you'll make that road alone
caught in the headlights of a very mixed up world
where everything you fear
where your shadow blocks your light
oh, beautiful world, to me
doves cried when she tried to fly
when her wings spread she heard their song
flies to your flame
but so hard to see at night
alone in your dreams
beautiful world, it's a beautiful world, to me
it's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world to you
don't let me go outside tonight
keep me safe within this room
afraid of what i feel
afraid of what i'll do
everything i feel is here
where your shadow blocks the light
one embrace, one embrace
my heart, sometimes
it's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world, to you
