Chet Faker - Talk Is Cheap [Live at the Enmore Theatre]

[johnqueen]

Just smoked a joint, lay down on my bed to chill for a bit and this came on randomly. I couldn't have picked a better song in this moment. It felt so surreal ❤

[_darko]

The part of the internet I love, finding masterpieces and finding true art and true music. People who say no one makes good music anymore, need to shut the fucking radio off and go look for great music.

[polareb]

Can’t stop watching this version.... Hits me in the soul each time.

Lyrics and meaning:
Talk Is Cheap
Oh so, your weak rhyme
You doubt I bother reading into it
I'll probably won't
Left to my own devices
But that's the difference in our opinions

You're a mouthful
That amounts for another week on my own
Now I'm a novel made resourceful
I start a chain with my thought

Talk is cheap, my darling
When you're feeling right at home
I wanna make you move with confidence
I wanna be with you alone

Said help me help you start it
You're too comfortable to know
Throwing out those words
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own

Cold pain
I cannot sustain it
That's what I'm thinking
Not what I'm drinking

I hold up my ways
These thoughts are pervasive
It's not a statement
But peace can be evasive

You're a mouthful
That accounts for another week on my own
Now I'm a novel made resourceful
I start a chain with my thought

Talk is cheap, my darling
When you're feeling right at home
I wanna make you move with confidence
I wanna be with you alone

Said help me help you start it
You're too comfortable to know
Throwing out those words
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own

Meaning:
Credits to THE JONZ
"This is a song about action. It’s about making moves rather than spitting words. You can tell someone how much they mean to you, but it’s the time you spend and the things you do for them that has value. Passion can be expressed by admiration or action. However, if you want to use your passion to create something, it’s going to have to be through the latter. I’m not sure there is a more romantic couplet than, “I wanna make you move with confidence, / I wanna be with you alone.” This track reminds me of the space between a lover’s fingers. It tickles a bit, but it feels real right."

"May everything bloom for you, Chet! May luck follow you wherever you go! God willing!!!!"

[christophermccarthy]

It's one of those songs that you don't want to end.

[Rahwriteswords]

[codyscott]

I’ve been listening to this regularly for 8+ years. Still hits. Every. Damn. Time.

[pbfamous]

the man the myth the commas required. this is beautiful.

[emilycreaser]

The most amazing feeling is hearing crowds of people sing along with you. You are all on the same vibe, same emotion, singing your heart out to an amazing song knowing hundreds are singing along with you is something else.

[IvarHuisman]

For this is the way we unfold at the speed of time and all will be good.

[IllDawgable]

The loud cheering, clapping and singing of the audience actually doesn't steal from the serenity. It adds onto it.

[mannymaciel]

When someone can perform better live than in studio... it says much about their development as an individual and as a musician.

[bardola.g]

this song marked my life in an unimaginable way. whenever I listen, I will remember you.... hope you are well and happy.

[Drizz]

I keep coming back to this whenever I’m stressed and every time it calms me and makes me so happy. The energy he put into this performance and the energy coming from the crowd is just amazing. I love it!

[MoabMarlon]

The bright on his eyes when he realizes the people know the words! Lovely!

[tekkster]

I listen to this literally every day for almost 3 years now. Rarely ever listen to any other version of this. It's always this song. Once a day. 3 years now.

[mohitsirohi]

The dream is to see Nick play live once. Can't even imagine how magical the experience will be.

[iamgaryvanwyk]

9 Years laters and still bangin'!

[nickcook]

This song reminds me of a special person who isn’t a part of my life anymore.
It makes me sad, but the memories she gave me make me smile through the tears.
