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.

This One's Gonna Bruise Lyrics
Beth Orton
Do you even know what's going on in a heart anymore
Constellations turned into little polaroids in a cardboard box
And I wanted so desperately to prove
You were still breathing but wouldn't move
Okay, okay what a thing to choose this one's gonna bruise
You'll learn one day won't you
What you want is bad for the souls in the rain
Afraid of the dark still in pain still in pain
Did you ever notice how the wind didn't change that much
Fluctuations only sheets that you moved to be sure it was us
And I wanted so desperately to say
That you could trust me but I was lying anyway
okay, okay what a thing to lose
Left out in the rain, misuse
You'll learn one day won't you
You'll learn some day won't you
What you had was good for a while then it changed
Got too intense made it strange
And I feel bad for you I feel bad for you
But I don't know why I don't know why
Cos I'm as dead as you
