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.

Don T Need A Reason Lyrics
Beth Orton
Have you ever seen a sign that
Upon a time...there were...angels
You wont lose track cause
Upon their backs feel the weight of wings...
Whyd they fall, its hard to tell
But some things you can buy yourself
Yeah we only hurt the ones we love
While...we dont need a reason
Only care for the thing we deserve
And thats something to believe in
I think Ive seen a sign but its a very fine line
If you...want it all
And dont lose track
Upon my back theres no weight of wings
When they shine, its hard to say
But somethings never fade away
And we only hurt the ones we love
While...we dont need a reason
Only care for the thing we deserve
Well thats something to believe in
So Ive been calling angels down to earth
And I dont need a reason
Calling angels down to earth
Cause I believe we need them...
Yeah we only hurt the ones we love
While...we dont need a reason
Youre gonna get all that you deserve
And all that you believe in
That you believe in
Do you need them?
If you need them
Do you know? ...
Do you need them?
If you need them...who believes them...do ya know? ? ...do ya know...
Such a short time...
