Useful detail

Performance tip

Down in a Hole benefits from a specific rehearsal focus: pace the early sections across its roughly 5:38 runtime so the ending still has energy. That preparation will keep Down in a Hole from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Down in a Hole, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
