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.

Stars All Seem To Weep Lyrics
Beth Orton
Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger.
cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger.
I think about you on a moonlit night
And the stars all seem to weep.
When theres so much to lose
Theres never any time for sleep.
Look at me doing all these things without you.
We always left a new world untrue.
Where was it we tried hard not to go to?
I think thats how I finally came through.
All the things we took for granted
The words still live on in my head
All the times I took for granted
All the words I never said.
I think about you in the moonlit night,
And the stars all seem to weep.
When theres so much love to give,
Theres never any time for sleep, yeah.
So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And human life was all but left to hunger,
cause when I stray from the truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger.
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger.
Living without you
Living without you.
Living without you, oh.
