Down into the depths 

what if the shadows left me alone 
for just one moment I could breathe 
and what if the shadows left me alone 
for just one moment I could breathe
no I will not tell you no
I will not go away I'll relax and fall 

down into the depths of every hole I've ever fell in
down into the depths of every hole I've broke my face in

and then there's the screaming 
they don't stop the screaming  
it goes on and on and falls in two 
and they want you
and they want you to 
hold their little hand 
and "walk with me 
walk with me" 
and tell me everything about yourself 
everything about yourself 
before I die 
before I slip away 

down into the depths of every hole I've ever fell in 
down into the depths of every hole I've broke my face in 

you want to take me on yeah
you want to take me on 
but you can't see through these eyes
you want to take me down but 
said you want to take me down yeah
but you can't see through my eyes 
you can't see through my eyes 
I've been building this time 
I've been building this time bomb 
for some time and 
you might want to walk away yeah 
you might want to walk away there's 
no telling 
what these limbs might do

Assertion - "Down Into The Depths"  (Drum Track 1)

Ok friends..  Here goes.  Two tracks are downloadable here at the following link...  Please don't use these as your back beat to try and sell a song. We should not have to say this but..  Here is a current metaphor for those who need it:  Don't be the monopolizing on others, toilet paper/ hand sanitizer hoarding douche.  

We aren't charging for this, or our live streams, as we just want people to be well, have an outlet and come together in this forced isolation.  Have fun.  Send this to your friends. Parents, PLEASE DO THIS WITH YOUR KIDS.  

You don't need an interface, nor computer.  Play this loudly on your stereo and play and record what you come up with on your phone recorder app (or whatever you have to record) as you go.
 
Use it as a beat to collaborate with your guitar, bass, piano, beatbox, trash can playing, singing/ screaming/ rapping friends.  Etc. Etc. Etc.  Cut it.  Use flex mode.  Destroy it.

Just be CREATIVE and let us hear the outcome.  We are going to pick our top 5 favorites and repost and also add to them if we hear a melody or beat.  This is an open collaboration SO GOOOOO!!  Bleed out all your feelings and go nuts.

All we ask, is that you post your final results with the following hashtags - copy/paste:  

#assertion #assertionband #williamgoldsmith #bryangorder #justintamminga #isolationcollaboration #musiciscatharsis

p.s. This is us raw.  You can slightly hear vocals in the background as this was based off of one of our songs.  Not fixing it.  

p.i.s.s.  We did not use a click track as we know each other musically and want more than anything to keep feeling and a human element number one in our music, in every aspect.  The "industry standard" is not our standard.  Sorry /not sorry..

Assertion Drum Track 1 - Fer TJ

Rain falls from the sky (from the sky)
It's been so many months now (months)
Since I have seen your smile
You spoke soft, as I cried (as I cried)
I can see your eyes now
I've been here for a while
You once gave me a hope for some better days
Now I'm just rotting here alone
