Assen (Dutch: [ˈɑsə(n)]) is a municipality and a city in the northeastern Netherlands, and is the capital of the province of Drenthe. It received city rights in 1809. Assen is known for TT Circuit Assen, the motorcycle racing circuit, where on the last Saturday in June the Dutch TT is run; and also for the annual Assen Dance Festival.

The history of the capital of Drenthe can be traced back to at least 1258, when a new location had to be found for Marienkamp Abbey, which had originally been built near Coevorden as a penalty for the slaughter in 1227 of the army of the Bishop of Utrecht at the hands of Drenthe's peasants, in what has come to be known as the Battle of Ane – a battle, incidentally, in which the bishop was killed. His successor ordered the nunnery to be built as a penalty. As it was located in a barren peat area, which also happened to flood from time to time, a better location had to be found. A better and especially drier spot for the Cistercian abbey was found in an area known as Witten, where at the time only a few farms were located. Around it were village communities like Deurze, Witten and Peelo. The latter has a history which goes back to the times from when Dolmens were built, but it is now situated between two new districts of Assen. The "relocated" abbey probably was erected in the 1260s, and over the centuries Assen developed around it.
Ooo yeah
Baby baby
I ease the pain
Could see us in our holy faith
But one day we changed I
Dreamed from big in a face
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna waste another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
I wanna learn to live and stop panicking
I don't want us sit like 2 mannequins
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Why can't we just
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Before we dive into the deep end
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Be like water falling down from heaven's high (heaven's high heaven's high)
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
