Stream: “Far Side of the Moon” – Chet Faker
I first encountered Chet Faker just before his live performance at Lightning in a Bottle 2016.
His show seamlessly combined electronic sounds with soulful indie, crafting an unforgettable ambiance that continues to influence his artistry and captivates every audience he engages.
The Australian artist, also known as ARIA-winning songwriter, musician, and producer Nick Murphy, is back with his latest single, “Far Side of the Moon,” released via BMG. He is recognized for tracks like “Talk Is Cheap” and his rendition of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity.” Faker has also launched collaborative EPs such as Lockjaw with Flume (2013) and Work with Marcus Marr (2015), broadening his expressive production through soulful musicality.
“Far Side of the Moon” pushes his artistry forward with a sound that resonates with emotional depth. Faker has garnered critical acclaim and is ascending to new heights. The song invites listeners into a space for introspection, where a one-sided dialogue reveals much about heartbreak, distance, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship where feelings aren't mutual.
Call my name from the
far side of the moon
And I will come
Along for you
Call my name from the
far side of the moon
And I will come
Along for you
According to Chet Faker, “It’s about stretching yourself too thin for someone you love to the point where it’s not healthy for the relationship at all.” These lyrics highlight the vulnerability and emotional imbalance in shared spaces within a relationship. Hope is central, yet communication fluctuates. Two individuals move in various rhythms and pull towards change.
Last week
Karma got a hold of me
I guess he needed company
Cuz he don’t even talk to me
Now my heart beats
They tell me what I need to see
And I think it takes forever
Are you talking ‘bout forever?
As listeners press play, sincere violin strings and piano chords create a profound sense of reflection on unreciprocated love. The gentle drums modulate the rhythm into a transparent beat, facilitating an avenue for deep dialogue and laying the groundwork for growth. Chet Faker preserves the authenticity and connection of his sound through the warmth of his voice, ensuring clarity for an open conversation.

Chet Faker revives thoughts in listeners' minds as he explores the realm of discovery, creating a sense of presence amidst the emotional intricacies on the horizon.
