There are a few versions of 'Morning Dew', written and first performed by Canadian folk singer Bonnie Dobson, but I prefer this version by the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart (yes you heard me) on vocals. (Rod spent 2 years with Jeff Beck doing some awesome stuff, especially on the albums 'Truth' and 'Beck Ola'.

I love this version of 'Torn' by Natalie Imbruglia but the original version was written and performed on the first album of a L.A. rock group called Ednaswap in 1993.
