Flight Facilities, the Australian DJ duo of Hugo Gruzman and James Lyell, put out "Clair de Lune" in October 2012 as the second single from a debut album, Down to Earth, that wouldn't land until 2014. The hook comes from high places: the track works a melodic reading of a passage from Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune," with singer-songwriter Christine Hoberg as the featured voice.
It went gold at home in 2013, the same year it was shortlisted for Song of the Year at the APRA Music Awards and nominated for Best Video at the ARIAs. Triple J listeners kept it close, voting it in at 25 on the Hottest 100 of the Decade in 2020 and at 94 on the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs in 2025, and Telstra leaned on it across years of advertising.
