Amber Farnan – When I get Better

Emerging as one of Queensland’s most exciting new voices in indie-pop, AMBER FARNAN has consistently been growing a strong presence for herself since her debut in 2019.

A string of releases across following years cemented the songwriter as an artist with a wealth of potential to be tapped into and as we stride into a brand new year of music, Farnan is back with the first taste of a new arc: the new single, ‘WHEN I GET BETTER’.

For fans of artists including Asha Jefferies, Middle Kids and Missy Higgins, a song like this is a perfect moment of reintroduction for Farnan, who is looking ahead to a bright new chapter of creativity.

‘WHEN I GET BETTER’ highlights her mature and emotion-driven sense of storytelling. Navigating themes of grief, isolation and coming back to oneself, ‘WHEN I GET BETTER’ stems from an intensely personal place for the artist, but is presented in a way that many listeners may find relatable.

“There’s a kind of loneliness that doesn’t come from being alone, but from watching life move without you. ‘When I Get Better’ is a song born from that space. ‘When I Get Better’ sits inside a kind of grief that’s harder to name, the feeling of growing up while also being held back. Written from the experience of living with chronic illness, the song reflects on years spent in and out of hospital, stretches of time bed-bound, and the quiet realisation that parts of adolescence weren’t just missed, but taken. Not postponed. Not waiting. Gone.

When I Get Better is out now on all streaming and download services.
