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.

Skimming Stone Lyrics
Beth Orton
You been tryin to find the line to define the strength in weak hands
Read the first page then guess the rest and dont always know whats best
You been tryin to swim up the suns burning reflection
And tryin to skim a boulder in the very same direction
Where it goes
No one knows
No one follows
Where it goes
No one knows
No one follows
Ill be a flame burning in the darkness and I will light whats in your heart
Ill be a flame in the dark but I cant light whats not in your heart
I can lie...i can lie...i can lie...i can lie...
You can lie...you can lie...you can lie...
