"Half The World Away" is a song by AURORA, released on November 6, 2015 for the deluxe version of her debut album All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend. Originally written by Noel Gallagher of Oasis, it was released for a Christmas advert for John Lewis, a UK department store. The ad, called "Man On The Moon", features a young girl, Lily, who uses her telescope to locate an elderly man who lives alone on the moon. The ad aimed to raise awareness about loneliness and encourage people to reach out to older family, friends and neighbors. The ad raised money for the charity Age UK.
In the official charts, it reached number #4 in Scotland, number #11 in the United Kingdom and number #22 in Ireland. The song also reached 16th position on Euro Digital Song Sales, the main sales chart in Europe.
