==About== Down In It was the first single for the very first [[Nine Inch Nails]] album [[Pretty Hate Machine]] and the third track on the disc. It is said to be the first song that Trent ever wrote under the name Nine Inch Nails and is a rare treat to hear live. It was the first [[halo]] single as well as the first music video for the newly formed "band". ===Appearances===
Down In It appears in various versions on the follwing releases:
*[[Head Like a Hole (halo)| Head Like a Hole]]
===Versions===
*Down In It - appears on [[Purest Feeling]] as the last track, differing from its offical counterparts as that it has an extended intro with strange screams and odd static. It also includes about 1 minute and 8 seconds of distorted clippings of the song at the end as a finish to the album. Musically it's extremely close to the (Demo) version from the [[Head Like a Hole (halo)|Head Like A Hole]] US single.
*Down In It (Singe) - a mix that appears on both the [[Down In It (halo)|Down In It]] and [[Head Like a Hole (halo)|Head Like A Hole]] singles. It's a mostly instrumental "dub" mix of the song with minimal vocals and strange warping and mixing of the beats with heavy bass emphasis. It should be noted that this mix is actually 18 seconds longer on the Head Like A Hole (US) single than it was on the Down In It single. The reason for this is unknown, though it's probably due to the time constraints imposed on Vinyl singles compared to a full sized LP Maxi Single.

(Now I'm Down In It)
(Now I'm Down In It)
I was up above it
==Performed Live==
As of [[Fragility 2.0]], Reznor had stated that he didn't like the song as much as he used to, but during the later legs of the [[With Teeth]] tour, it seemed as if he's changd his mind song, playing it more as the tour progressed.
