She reflected on what it was like working with Murphy and noted some similarities between the tone of both works of art.“Seeing Oppenheimer last week I was compelled with the similarities between this text and his character in the movie.
In this video I have edited them both together for fun and it’s quite incredible how they relate,” she said.A post shared by Jehnny Beth (@jehnnybeth)She continued: “I think Cillian has one of the best voices in modern cinema. I remember he wrote to me when I sent him the text: ‘It’s big stuff. It should be done in a slow way, a quiet way.’ He made it personal, as if hearing someone’s darkest and unfiltered thoughts.”Beth explained that when she was writing ‘A Place Above’ for her album, she had the 1987 film Wings Of Desire in mind, sharing that her initial idea was for Murphy’s narration of it to be “cinematographic”.“When we met, Cillian was everything you would expect, calm, friendly, very generous.
We recorded three takes. For the last one, we played him the music through headphones. That’s the one we kept, one shot, no edits.
