Landon and Ber embody each partner’s viewpoint on death and trauma.

Check it out below!
Landon explains the origins of Funeral Home:
I wrote this song after seeing an Olivia Rodrigo concert. Gracie Abrams was the opener, and I was immediately inspired to write a stripped back pop song after hearing how she weaved intricate lyrics over delicate guitars and soft drums. The song focuses on this idea of relationship anxiety. Specifically, anxiety surrounding the death of your partner. It talks through each partner’s differing views on the subject; how one of them is constantly worried about the other dying and how one of them is admittedly a bit too apathetic about it all.
