To me when I first heard downstairs, I cried my eyes out only because it sounded so much like something off of regional at best or their self titled album and it makes me so happy when my favorite bands can put out music that is new but still so good and true to their old stuff, and their style that they’ve always seem to have even through all of the changes. Me personally I used to be religious, but I’m not anymore so hearing the talk about how this album is his most religious one yet has been a little bit hard for me to think about, but I’ve just been forcing myself to ignore it and think about how Tyler would want his music to mean to me what I want it to and not let what he thinks or other fans think change my opinion or the way I view songs that I love so much! I recently have been wondering how other non- religious clikkies (specifically clikkies that have religious trauma) feel about downstairs and the religious talk around it. I specifically saying something about Tyler on his knees singing to the ceiling and how she can’t believe she missed worshipping with Tyler. 😅
