[edit] Moved
I've moved this back to Torn (Ednaswap song). Ednaswap recorded the song first, so technically it's "their" song first and foremost. Not only do I think it would be misleading to retitle the article with the "Natalie Imbruglia" suffix, but it introduces POV issues by highlighting her version even though she wasn't the first to record it. I think disambiguating a song article according to whoever recorded it first is the best way of avoiding allegations of bias towards one or the other.

- not only that, it is _written_ by them, what else can be said, it's theirs even if they had never recorded it. --fs 05:41, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Norwegian
I'm sure I remember that this song was promoted (in the UK at least) as if Imbruglia had written it, but that it turned out to in fact have been written and first recorded by a Norwegian (?) woman. I can even recall someone (Chris Evans when he was still any good?) fading in and out between the two to emphasise how similar the orchestration was; from memory the two versions are virtually identical. I'm fairly sure that the Norwegian artist recorded version in both English and Norwegian. This business of a Los Angeles band is entirely new to me. Silverhelm 05:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC).
- A bit of Googling suggests that I was half right. The Norwegian artist concerned is a woman named Trine Rein, who appears to have covered the Ednaswap song. Certainly her version predates Imbruglia's, though, and as mentioned above it is extraordinarily similar. So although it might be Ednaswap's song, I'd suspect their version wasn't the "inspiration" for Imbruglia. I feel there's a story to tell here, if someone is able to research this stuff properly to turn dim recollections into verifiable fact. Silverhelm 05:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

- I remember reading somewhere that Scott Cutler or Phil Thornally helped produce Imbruglia's and Rein's CDs, so I assume whichever person it was had an idea for what a "pop" version of this song should sound like. --74.34.54.216 02:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Soundtrack
Does anyone know if this song has been on any soundtracks? Also, I'm sure I heard the Imbruglia version without any of the vocal parts used in a commercial for a football show or some type of sports show or something a few years ago. Does anyone know about that?--74.34.70.107 04:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] David Armand
I think a mention of David Armand's performance of the song is worth mentioning. For many of us, that is the first time we actually listned to it.

[edit] Diving in the Deep End?
Does anyone else think that the Diving in the Deep End section is unnecessary? It doesn't have much to do with the song and I just don't think it's a good idea to have so much extra information when it's not even about the original artist. I didn't remove it though because I could be completely off base. --66.158.103.242 01:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
