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.

Sweetest Decline Lyrics
Beth Orton
She weaves secrets in her hair
The whispers are not hers to share.
Shes deep as a well.
Shes deep as a well.
Another day wastes away,
And my heart sinks with the sun.
A new days dawning,
And a new day has not yet begun.
So, anyway,
There I was,
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in the sweetest decline.
The sweetest decline.
Sober mind
Whats the use in regrets
Theyre just things we havent done yet.
What are regrets?
Theyre just lessons we havent learned yet.
Another day draws away,
And my heart sinks with the sun.
Its like catching snow on my tongue.
Its like catching snow on my tongue.
So, anyway,
There I was,
Just sitting on your porch
Drink in the sweetest decline.
The sweetest decline.
Sober mind
What are regrets?
What are regrets?
Theyre just lessons we havent learned yet.
Its like catching snow on your tongue.
You cant pin this butterfly down.
Cant pin this butterfly down.
