Billie Eilish – When I Was Older (Roma)
Music inspired by the film “Roma”. Billie Eilish dishes out a brand new single titled “When I Was Older” (Roma). When I Was Older,” which was inspired by the Golden Globe-winning Netflix film Roma. The song will feature in an upcoming collection of “inspired by” tracks curated by the film’s director Alfonso Cuarón. The song’s titled is lifted from a piece of dialogue spoken by the character Pepe in Roma, “When I was older I used to be a sailor, but I drowned in a storm.”
After seeing the film, which won Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes, Eilish teamed with her brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell to pen the track.
The chorus, has the ocean sounds overplayed on it. We were also able to take sounds like the student protest shouts and Borras barking and turn them into rhythmic percussive elements to help drive the song. Nothing about this song would exist without the film, which is exactly what we love about it.”
