Flight Facilities are an ARIA Award-winning duo, Hugo Gruzman and James Lyell, which first began mixing various songs by other artists in 2009 in Sydney. They have reworked Bag Raiders, Toecutter and Sneaky Sound System. Their first original song, "Crave You" written by and featuring Giselle Rosselli, received considerable airtime (broadcasting) in Australia on the alternative music radio station Triple J in 2010. It was co-written by Gruzman, Lyell and Rosselli after the duo contacted the musician/producer to provide an original track for a compilation album by their label Bang Gang. In July 2010 Flight Facilities commenced their first tour, Maiden Voyage. They played at various Australian nightclubs: Elsewhere in the Gold Coast, Empire in Brisbane, Limbo in Adelaide, and Adult Disco in Sydney before going to Japan to play at Onzieme in Osaka, and Le Baron in Tokyo. "Crave You" was listed at No. 19 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2010 and was featured as the soundtrack to Myer's 2010 Spring Racing Carnival television commercial campaign.
In 2011, "Foreign Language" won a J-Award for music video, and appeared as number 72 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2011.[8] In February that year while performing as Hugo & Jimmy in Jakarta, Indonesia, the duo claimed to be from Trinidad and Tobago. They have jokingly told journalists the same thing and that they are Calvin Harris.
In 2012, "Clair de Lune" appeared as number 17 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2012. In April they were broadcast on Triple J with four 1 hour long mixes featuring a decade spanning from 1972 to 2012.
In 2013, KCRW invited Flight Facilities to SXSW and headlined their home countries Falls Festival and Southbound Festivals (alongside The Roots, !!!, MGMT, Bonobo and Grizzly Bear). In 2014 they were asked to play one of the world's biggest festivals, Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Palm Springs where they played to 8000 plus people each day.
The C90s track "Shine A Light" (Flight Facilities remix), gained mainstream attention in 2013 when featured in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto V, created by Rockstar Games.
In 2014 "Two Bodies" (featuring Emma Louise) appeared as number 39 and "Sunshine" (Ft. Reggie Watts) as number 52 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2014. On 24 October 2014 they issued their debut album, Down to Earth, which reached No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[15] It received a gold certification from ARIA by the end of the following year.
In 2015 Down to Earth was made into a music video starring Sam Rockwell. At the ARIA Music Awards that year, Flight Facilities were nominated in three categories: Album of the Year, Best Pop Release and Best Cover Art (by Timothy Lovett) for Down to Earth.
In December 2015 Flight Facilities released a live album following their performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The album consisted of tracks from the duo's debut album as well as previous releases. It won the ARIA Award for Best Classical Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2016.
In 2017, Flight Facilities released the song "Arty Boy" featuring Emma Louise on vocals,[18] followed by the single, "Stranded", featuring Broods, Reggie Watts and Saro.
In November 2019, Google began a YouTube campaign for Google Nest products using Flight Facilities "Better Than Ever".

If I would know you, would you know me,
If I would know you, would you know me,
If I would know you, would you know me
Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change,
Tell me that you'll feel the same, and we'll stay here forever,
Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change,
Where we go, where we,
Where we go, where we go,
Where we go, where we go, where we go.
[Repeat x4]
Where we go, where we,
Where we go, where we,
Where we go, where we,
Where we go, where we go
Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change,
Tell me that you'll feel the same, and we'll stay here forever,
Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change,
Tell me that it'll stay the same,
Where we go, where we,
Where we go, where we go,
Where we go, where we go, where we go.
If I would know you, would you know me,
If I would know you, would you know me,
If I would know you, would you know me,
If I would know you, would you know me
Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change,
Tell me that we'll stay the same,
Where we go, where we,
Where we go, where we go,
Where we go, where we go, where we go.
The lyrics to Flight Facilities's "Clair De Lune" are simple yet poignant. The repetition of the phrase "If I would know you, would you know me" highlights the universal desire for connection and understanding between people. The singer is asking if they would recognize each other if they were to meet and if they could form a strong bond if they did. The uncertainty and vulnerability in these lines are relatable, as everyone has experienced the anxiety of wondering if a relationship will work out in their favor.
The chorus, "Don't go, tell me that the lights won't change, Tell me that you'll feel the same, and we'll stay here forever," implies a fear of change and loss. The singer is begging their partner not to leave them and to assure them that things will remain constant. The idea of staying together forever is also idealistic and romantic, but perhaps unrealistic. This sentiment underscores the longing for permanence and stability in the face of life's inherent unpredictability.

I'm a doctor and I was listening to this song after working 20hs non-stop, with 4 more hours of work ahead of me. I was sitting alone, eating dinner at 4 am watching the window, and somehow the true meaning of this song clicked. It's an indescribable meaning of nostalgia, derealization, and calm. It's truly a window into a place I've never been before, but somehow feels really familiar...

Somehow I think we feel the same thing.
It’s something you can’t describe that only you know how good it feels to you.
I only wish people felt the way I felt listening to this. I’m glad you felt like you weren’t alive for a few moments, but rather ascended somewhere until the song ended. I wish it were longer lol
@markfromminnesota1162
Oh man..wish this song lasted forever. Whatever you were dealing with can't hurt you anymore. Rest easy dad.
@frezxful
Back in 2014 my mom passed away I was 16 at the time and didn't want to live anymore i felt alone with dark thoughts of suicide. I was watching Byron during all these thoughts. Something told me to dm him so i did. He replied to my dm and told me it was never worth taking your own life, and that there are people himself included that cared about me and that my pain i was feeling would just go to the other people that cared for me. Needless to say he saved me and i wish i could have helped him like he helped me. Rest easy and peaceful Byron we will never forget how much you cared for others.
@steezx47
wow man, i'm really sorry for your loss. prayers to you, your family, and of course byron through all the hard times he helped us. he saved me as well from wanting to just be nothing and be okay with it, he pushed me to a level i never thought i could reach or had the capabilities of. Nobody can ever replace him <3
