Her first single, "Torn", reached number 2 in the UK charts and became the most played song on the radio in 1998. "Torn" is originally written by Anne Preven, Scott Cutler and Phil Thornalley. In 1995, "Torn" was recorded by Preven's and Cutler's band Ednaswap, although the band would record several more versions prior and following Imbruglia's hit recording. The first released version of "Torn", though, was a 1993 version by Danish singer Lis Sørensen, entitled "Braendt". Norwegian singer Trine Rein had a hit with an English language version of "Torn" in her home country, a year prior to Imbruglia's million selling single. Co-writer Phil Thornalley was involved in all of these versions and eventually offered the song to Natalie Imbruglia, whose album he produced. Imbruglia initially declined recording the song, stating she didn't want to do a cover. Ironically, "Torn" did not only become her biggest hit, it also became her signature song.
Following "Torn", Natalie's debut album "Left of the Middle", released on November 1997, became a million seller. Further singles ("Big Mistake", "Wishing I Was There", and "Smoke"), again proved to be hits in terms of radio and video airplay, but had a less than stellar chart run compared to "Torn".
In a 1999 cooperation with singer Tom Jones, she appeared on his duet album "Reload", on which the pair teamed up for a cover of INXS' ""Never Tear Us Apart".
Imbruglia's sophomore album, "White Lilies Island", was released in November 2001, although it met with significantly less success than its precursor. It did spawn the UK hit singles "That Day", "Wrong Impression" and "Beauty On The Fire".
She returned to acting in 2002 with a supporting role in British spy spoof Johnny English, playing alongside Rowan Atkinson. Natalie married her long-time boyfriend Daniel Johns, lead singer of Silverchair, on 31 December 2003.
In April 2005, Imbruglia released her third studio album "Counting Down The Days" in UK, which in its first week of sales hit number one on the album charts. The first single from this album "Shiver" became her longest running single on the UK charts since her debut "Torn" and also topped the UK Airplay charts for several weeks. The second single, the title track "Counting Down The Days", was released on 25 July 2005 and although it did not have as much success in the singles chart as "Shiver" it reignited interest in its parent album.
After "Counting Down the Days", Natalie switched labels and released in a greatest hits "Glorious: The Singles 97-07", which included five new tracks and was promoted by the single "Glorious".
Natalie's fourth studio album "Come to Life" was released on October 2009 in Europe, preceded by the music video of "Wild About It". The first official single issued on 28 September 2009, was "Want", a song written by Natalie Imbruglia, Daniel Johns (credited Kat Kourtney), Gary Clark and Chris Martin. The next single "Scars" was sent to radio in the UK on 22 March 2010; however, due to any support from radio networks, the single release was cancelled.

Tomorrow Morning
Natalie Imbruglia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost every part of me
Maybe outstayed my company
Walking into sad scenes
Hold me tight and say goodbye
I've seen behind tomorrow's sky
You'll be my missing alibi
Pull me over backwards
'Cause I've been thinking about our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning are you a friend of mine
I swear you've left me open
Nowhere to hide this moment
Overcrowded daydreams
We are lost or so it seems
'Cause I've been thinking about our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning are you a friend of mine
'Cause I've been thinking about our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning are you a friend of mine
The song "Tomorrow Morning" by Natalie Imbruglia is a melancholic reflection on loneliness, lost love, and uncertainty about the future. The opening lines of the song are a lament about feeling disconnected and alone, wondering if the singer has stayed too long with the wrong company. The feeling of sadness is palpable in the image of walking into sad scenes, and the plea to "hold me tight and say goodbye" suggests that the singer wants to feel close to someone who is leaving her life.
The second stanza of the song continues with the theme of feeling lost and open, with nowhere to hide in the present moment. The idea of over-crowded daydreams suggests a sense of longing or wishing for something different from one's current reality. The chorus repeats the phrase "I've been thinking about our world tonight" to suggest a sense of introspection and reflection, as the singer contemplates sinking into her own appetite for connection and meaning in life. The final line, "Tomorrow morning are you a friend of mine," is a question that speaks to the uncertainty of the future, and the longing for a connection with someone who can offer comfort and support.
Line by Line Meaning
Lonely
Feeling isolated and alone
Lost every part of me
Feeling like I've lost my identity and sense of self
Maybe outstayed my company
Perhaps I've overstayed my welcome in this situation
Walking into sad scenes
Finding myself in situations that bring me down emotionally
Hold me tight and say goodbye
Give me one last embrace before we part ways
I've seen behind tomorrow's sky
I've gained insight into what the future holds
You'll be my missing alibi
You'll provide the explanation that I need to cover my tracks
Pull me over backwards
Knock me off balance in a good way
Turn around and change my mind
Mentally reversing my previous thoughts and opinions
'Cause I've been thinking about our world tonight
Cuz I've been reflecting on our reality all night long
Slowly sinking
Gradually falling apart
Into my appetite
Giving in to my desires
Tomorrow morning are you a friend of mine
Do you have my best interests at heart in the morning?
I swear you've left me open
I feel vulnerable and exposed because of you
Nowhere to hide this moment
I can't find a place to escape in this particular moment
Overcrowded daydreams
My mind is full of too many conflicting and overwhelming thoughts
We are lost or so it seems
It appears that we're both directionless and unsure of the future
