#IHRSA2015: Patience, Passion & Persistence Lead to Success– Part II
Key note speaker Magnus Lindkvist at #IHRSA2015 shared the incredible story behind Natalie Imbruglia’s hot song ‘Torn’ from 1997. Here is a reminder:
But the history of this song is AMAZING:
1993 – Lis Sorensen released “Brændt”
1994 – Ednaswap released a version with a longer bridge and very long outro
1996 – Trine Rein released it with a more melodramatic feel than Natalie’s.
1996 – Ednaswap re-released a newer and retooled version
1998 – Natalie’s version
There was even a version done by a punk band and a rock band all before the song made history with Natalie’s version. It became a #1 hit across the globe!
As of 2011, “Torn” by Natalie held the record for most played song on Australian radio since 1990, played more than 300,500 times since its 1998 release, an average of 75 times a day.
So what is the point of this story?
Just because something doesn’t work today, doesn’t mean it won’t work tomorrow!
It is very stupid to say “We’ve tried that before.”
Your new passion and intensity can make ideas fly.
