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.

Blood Red River Lyrics
Beth Orton
Took a friend I found
Cross some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forgive her.
Why must people always fall for what they cant have?
Why must people always grab what theyd never grasp?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the ...
Im sure it used to stay.
Is it only a dream away?
Took a raft I found
Cross some blood red river.
Never did find my way home
In time for my dinner
Why must people always fall for what they never have?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you thats dead?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the ...
Im sure it used to stay.
Is it only a dream away?
I lost a friend
I found down some blood red river.
Never did find my way home
In time to forget home.
Why must people always want what they cant have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the ...
The ( ) we used to
Is it only a dream away?
