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.

She Cries Your Name Lyrics
Beth Orton
Falling from the west an so to find yourselves alone again,
Wondering where you have been,
Your lonely voice calls across the starlit coast,
Reaching out to be seen.
She cries your name,
Three times again,
She cries your name,
How long can this love remain.
Cut beneath the surface screen of what we say and what we seem,
Is a trick to be seen,
She keeps crying out your name,
But her scream sound the same,
How fickle fate can be.
She cries your name,
Three times again,
She cries your name,
How long can this love remain.
Birds that scream for territory can learn to sing euphorically,
Give him time an hes real,
And theres a wasteland in your soul the burned out trees will leave you cold,
Living out an ideal.
She cries your name,
Three times again,
She cries your name,
How long can this love remain.
She cries your name,
Twelve times again,
She cries your name,
How long can this love remain.
