I had an awesome bass/guitar teacher named Jason who let me borrow this album. I burned it to my laptop and played this song over and over a dozen times. I don't know where you are Jason but thanks for showing me this tune. You rock, brother. 🥃
Brings me back the summer of 2012, when me and my family spent the summer in Borjomi. No social media, no drama, just fresh air and me jamming to emo bangers on my Nokia Lumia.
I remember when MTV was playing the music videos for Miss Murder, I Write Sins Not Tragedies, Sugar, We’re Goin Down, Ocean Avenue, and this song. Simpler times man
POV: its 2006 MTV2 is poppin You just watched the newest episode of High School Stories Scandals, Pranks, and Controversies while eating fruit by the foot Taking back sunday just released makedamnsure This is the last time you'll be happy
I somehow missed out on these guys in my high school years but I love them now and they somehow make me nostalgic for every emo band I loved in those days lol
@@KlausTV777 E aí mano, só curtindo TBS? Kkkkkk, poucos brasileiros curtem essa banda. Mas é sempre bom ver que existe, mesmo em pouca proporção, pelo menos no meu ponto de vista.
I used to play this song everyday when i was only 10, and now i listen indie and other psychedelic bands but I'm still got chills when i listen to that
bro I’m 14 and I feel like no none listens to the good music anymore😭🫶 like this, the killers, bowling for soup, good charlotte?? THEY ARE LIKE- SO GOOD DUDE😍😍😍🫶🫶🫶😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰😝😝😝👍👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
@@sofijaantzaras4970Right on! I found my concert t-shirt in an old bin which is what made me revisit this tune. Wasn't really the biggest fan of these guys but they did perform very well live from what I remember. Definitely outgrown this type of music a while ago but still fun to rediscover some of these songs. Reminds me of browsing hot topic and fye every weekend.
throwback to when this was on the radio and spongebob was playing and for some reason i muted the tv and started filming it with my camcorder and made it look like squidward was singing this to spongebob ❤
Seriously, why was the original video removed with all the views? Imagine my disdain at coming here for my almost daily dose of Make Damn Sure and finding it gone! Nostalgia looking at the old date, gone just like that! :@
No disrespect to y’all who listened to this as a teenager but I was playing saints row 2 way too young and this is my favorite song off that soundtrack and that’s a loaded soundtrack for a video game 😂
amo esse troço, o tenso é "mds eu queria apresentar pra todo mundo mas mt provavel n iam gostar" // nem é the used, mas pessoal tem mt preconceito com esse jeito meio emo gritado
As a Nu Metal Fan, I did not like the emo genre at all. Did not outright hate it, but definitely did not like it. I heard this song played at a local business shop today and the nostalgia reminded me of college all over again. I also knew this was a Taking Back Sunday song because my roomate used to play it all the time and they even played at my campus. I can't believe it's almost 20 years since this genre started. fck im old. this song is somewhat growing on me now because I'm wearing this rose colored glasses.
@@oaky5803 the music itself isn't considered "emo", but in early 2000, average emo kids listened to punk/emo/screamo music, hence the emo hair of these bands members.
i just remember him singing in front of a big fan i just remember him throwing himself in the air and falling gracefully i just remember his disjointed movements i just remember his hair blowing gloriously i just remember... a lot and now im sad
Poorly decorated? With my MCR, TBS, blink-182, and FOB posters my bedroom is decorated perfectly! Always ignore your mom if she says “Don’t you have enough posters” because you know she had just as much, if not more, when she was your age.
to anyone trying to map the tempo of this song in a DAW. Google says it's 140 but no it's really 140.45 BPM haha Then it slows down in the end. I successfully mapped it now on REAPER finally haha
if you were a teenager when this hit u lived in the golden age 🤘😭
great time to be alive
16!!
@@videl1528 that’s how old I was when it came out 😭
Damn I was 8 when this came out, my aunt and my mom always had TBS and green day playing LOL
True..early 2000s will never be replicated..get in the pit and feel the love.
I truly grew up in the best era . Remember being in elementary school mad af n wanting to run away listening to this 😂
😂
Heard this in saints row 2 and can't stop listening. Been on repeat for the last 2 days
Generation x is goated
Still have saints row 1 & 2 on disc till this very day. Need to do a proper run through of both
SAINTS ROW 2 HAD THE BEST SOUNDTRACK!!!!
Yes,that’s where I found this song!!
Agreed
I swear to goddddd 😭
I JUST FOUND THEM YESTERDAY AND NOW IM IN LOVE
What was the location of the rock you where living under? Enjoy the vibrations
Namaste
brocowsci I’m glad I crawled out of it
I would like to be you!!
Where have you been???
Better late than never. Have a blast, my lad/lass :)
i was a shy and lonely teen back in highschool and this song was so dope. What a life, music bring you back to those years
same I didn't enjoy it to the fullest I was so introverted back then
That’s how I am now in adulthood
worst years of my life but music is how i get by so i stick with the tunes

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
You've got this new head filled up with smoke
And I've got my veins all tangled close
To those jukebox bars you frequent
The safest place to hide
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness, you start shaking at the thought
You are everything I want
'Cause you are everything I'm not
[Pre-Chorus]
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
[Chorus]
I just wanna break you down so badly
Well I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way
[Verse 2]
My inarticulate store-bought hangover hobby kit it talks
And it says "You, oh, you are so cool"'
Scissor-shaped across the bed
You are red, violent red
You hollow out my hungry eyes
You hollow out my hungry eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
[Chorus]
I just wanna break you down so badly
Well I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way
I just wanna break you down so badly
Well I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way
Worst way
[Bridge]
I'm gonna make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No, you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
I'll make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No, you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me (Ever get too far)
You won't ever get too far
[Chorus]
I just wanna break you down so badly
Well I trip over everything you say
Well I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way
Worst way
[Outro]
I'm gonna make damn sure
I just wanna break you down so badly
I just wanna break you down so badly (Down so)
In the worst way
Worst way
that was when i was born omg
Still listening to this in 2023 and so on🔥🤟🏼
I had an awesome bass/guitar teacher named Jason who let me borrow this album. I burned it to my laptop and played this song over and over a dozen times. I don't know where you are Jason but thanks for showing me this tune. You rock, brother. 🥃
The inhale at the very beginning is unique.
"You are everything I want, 'cause you are everything I'm not."
Love singing this out loud with so much feelings hahahaha 😭😍

Wow 20 Year anniversary.... 4 YEARS AGO??
TBS is making damn sure I feel old!
the nostalgic of having to wait in line for a studio to practice and play, what a generation it was.
Saints Row 2 had the best radio of any video game ever!
Now I remember where I heard this ones from! Good times tho
yes daddy
I better make damn sure that this is in my playlist
One of the first songs i learned on drums and guitar. Still holds up
Saw these guys at projekt revolution 2007. Damn nearly 17 years ago.
I went to that tour too, same year!!!! It was such a dream for 15 year old me seeing them live🥰

Honestly this is an amazing song from put it in any era this song holds up
There is a little bit of energy in this song. Feel it in your core, that;s your memory chiming. You're welcome.
That is so cool that thing on when you're watching it that panther with the lightning that is so cool
Love this track! What a drive down memory lane
The way that panther inhales ❤❤❤
I'm guna make damn sure i listen to this every year until I die
I’ve heard this song for years in the background and am just now finding it intentionally for the first time
I left this song back in 2006 and just now heard again after 16 years 😢😢
I used to listen to this in my ipod and had no car back then , now i’m blasting it in my mom car in 2024🙌🏻😂
This song take me back so much it takes my breathe away.
One of my favorite bands ever
Christopher Pippin for sure!
Do people remember the commercials on the tv with this song? It was my favorite
Dude this came out when I was 16 in 31 now where did time go?
throwback to when this was on the radio and spongebob was playing and for some reason i muted the tv and started filming it with my camcorder and made it look like squidward was singing this to spongebob ❤
Glorious
Seriously, why was the original video removed with all the views? Imagine my disdain at coming here for my almost daily dose of Make Damn Sure and finding it gone! Nostalgia looking at the old date, gone just like that! :@
There was an older video?
Cant listen to this without setting the video quality to 144p 🤘
Burnout take down is where I left my happiness.😊
This song breaking my heart. This song in my heart now ♥
No disrespect to y’all who listened to this as a teenager but I was playing saints row 2 way too young and this is my favorite song off that soundtrack and that’s a loaded soundtrack for a video game 😂
Essa música se resume em uma palavra: Nostalgia.
Muito foda!
amo esse troço, o tenso é "mds eu queria apresentar pra todo mundo mas mt provavel n iam gostar" // nem é the used, mas pessoal tem mt preconceito com esse jeito meio emo gritado
Does anyone still wanna break me down so badly in 2024?

Such a good song! Just...WOW!!
That was cool.
"Holy, this Expensive-Matrixy-Setting reminds me of emptiness.
Maybe enough room for two..."
A boy just told me this song reminds him of me I'm winning at life rn
