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.

Faith Will Carry Lyrics
Beth Orton
You touched my hand
Said, follow me
Ill be your eyes when you cannot see
Now the only blindness that Im gonna choose
Is ignorance to all your misuse
There was a time when you held all the cards
And you delt them all evenly cause I couldnt see
You read my mind
Left yourself so hard to find
I thought you knew me better than I knew myself
Spend your time cutting me down
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [Ill be your eyes]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
I could try talkin to you but I already learned all I need to
Spend your time cutting me down
Dont listen to a word then you throw me a frown
To catch the eye of a stranger is nothing new
I was just waitin for something to do
It was a twisted pair but now Im through
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry [said its faith that will carry]
Spend your time cutting me down [Ill be your eyes]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]
Spend your time cutting me down [i thought you knew me better]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry [than I knew myself]
You touched my hand
Said, follow me
Ill be your eyes when you cannot see
Now the only blindness that Im gonna choose
Is ignorance to all your misuse
Its faith that will carry
Its faith that will carry
You read my mind
Left yourself so hard to find
I thought you knew me better than I knew myself
Spend your time cutting me down
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry [said, follow me]
Spend your time cutting me down [Ill be your eyes]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]
Spend your time cutting me down [i thought you knew me better]
When its plain to see its faith that will carry [than I knew myself]
You touched my hand
Said, follow me
Ill be your eyes when its plain to see its faith that will carry
