Mr. Lewis and The Funeral 5, along with producer Danny Reisch (White Denim, Okkervil River) closed ranks and created a devastating masterpiece of grief and regret, tempered with Greg Lewis’ clever, morbid, and dryly humorous lyrics. The songs on “Before The World Beat You Down”, take the listener on a journey through a loungey hellride that appears to be headed toward some sort of closure, only to leave them suspended in mid-air.
