We’re so torn over this revelation.
In case you missed it, a meme has been making its rounds on social media, saying that every 90’s kid comes of age three times through the following milestones:
every “90s kid” comes of age 3 times:
• 18th birthday
• 21st birthday
• the day they find out natalie imbruglia’s version of torn is a cover— horse the band (@VilinskiKonjic) August 24, 2017
So apparently, our 90’s Natalie Imbruglia jam is actually a cover! It’s almost like the adult version of being told that Santa isn’t real, if we’re being honest.
What’s more is that Natalie’s version isn’t any old cover — it’s a cover of another cover. Torn was originally written in 1993 by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven and Phil Thornalley. That same year, Danish singer Lis Sørensen released a Danish version called “Brændt,” which means “burned.” Then, in 1995, the band Ednaswap recorded the track we all know and love, before being covered by Natalie. Phew.
Watch the video below and let the lie sink in:
Did YOU know that Natalie Imbruglia’s Torn was just a cover? Let us know your thoughts!
