The O.C. best music moment #1 - "Forever Young" breakup

[@cannsmith]

This show had the most epic music every song matched every scene so perfectly. So sad they killed the show when they killed Marissa they said her character was the weak link but honestly we could feel the emotions of Ryan and Marissa. Seth and Summer were the lines Ryan and Marissa were the soul. And musical moments like these just make their emotions epic when this aired I remember crying

[@cannsmith]

***** LOL that is hilarious I am absolutely obsessed with Veronica Mars too I love the sarcasm the snarkiness and of course the music as well. Ironically a lot of music on my iPod is from those three tv shows

[@jonsal123]

OC was so deep. Many episodes ending with happy, wonderful moments. Only to be washed away in the next few episodes. I think it's a metaphor of life: there's no lasting happiness, but all we have are moments. Perfect moments, but they never last. If you think of life like that, maybe when those rare perfect moments come your way, you can appreciate them to the fullest. I would have loved to see a happy ending for the show, with Marissa and Ryan being together - but the way it went down was imperfect and painful, like life. No fairytale ending. But some of the moments they had, they were perfect and worth living for. So it was sad and beautiful at the same time.

[@lucasarns5028]

Very true. In a way I think that the "imperfect" ending is the reason for the show still strongly remaining in my head. I've watched many shows but never have I felt so much for the characters like in The OC, and still continue to feel after all these years.

[@Eike2002]

cannsmith I love you :´-( What was even more intense was the "Hide and seek" scene at the end of season two. I was so shocked and emotional...

[@jamalkoc184]

Joni S. Perfectly said..seriously. I just read that three times and at the end it felt like there is something in my eye. In both of them.

[@Elisheval]

There's nothing like closing your flip phone/ placing the phone back it's cradle.... touchscreens don't have the same feeling of finality. It's weird, but I miss it.

[@fratdemiralp6164]

So true and i just realized that right now 😂

[@shawncicalese4094]

And how durable those phones are, drop me a million times, still work. Dropped my 106$ touch screen yesterday chips and cracks screen

[@JeroenNijssen]

This comment won’t get old 😅

[@martinbueno1519]

Nothing like riding your bmw doing it.

[@AA-li7ud]

Damn, I could actually feel Marissa’s pain during this scene, plus the background music really makes it 10x emotional.

[@maritere4115]

Siiii 😢 pobre marissa odie esa parte

[@daniellecampbell6556]

This and One Tree Hill was the shit back in the early 2000's. I miss having teen shows like them!!!

[@Lukec24]

They don't make shows like this anymore it's honestly sad how far tv shows have fallen

[@Kay2be2mr]

I miss how sturdy those phones were, and the satisfaction you got from hanging up on someone by closing the lid.

[@ylin17]

Haha

[@DavinAlaniz]

the beginning of the end

[@ValeriaBasurco]

+Davin Alaniz SO true!!!

[@anacarolinathiz7036]

Davin Alaniz true af

[@MJMartinex23]

It ended at the first season finale , from then it was cringe with some great moments ,

[@TheMartymcfly1985]

I think it was the beginning of the end when Caleb died..

[@robl39]

The beginning of the end was Trey coming back in season 2 since that caused a sequence of events that led to Marissa’s death. In fact, you could argue Ryan coming to Newport was the beginning of the end for Marissa. Had Ryan never come to Newport, Trey never would have assaulted Marissa which led to the fight and shooting, expulsion, meeting Johnny who drove a wedge between them, then Volchok who ultimately was responsible for her death

[@russianipod]

Sometimes, it's just not meant to be, no matter how hard you may think you want it or even if you keep trying

[@janes2274]

Agreed with you 100%

[@JackShafferProject]

no, the flashback paint the silence is number one, best moment ever. so many feels.

[@ArielAriel-rg8ng]

Totally agree, it's the most deep and real scene.

[@user-cq1hz7pi2d]

Marissa crying always gets me :'(

[@plawton35]

Not to be heartless, but, not me. I think she got her ego bruised more than anything. She and Ryan were off and on and regardless him trying to spare her feelings or just over it all- she knew she made dumb choices and it bit her in the butt. Again. Sorry. Just how I see it.

[@matthewtonna1]

She cries almost every episode 😅

[@tunisianouammour]

Mischa Barton ! great actor, I believe she showed even deeper emotion than would have any other hurt girl in the real world. Bravo Marissa, this remains my best music moment in the O.C., I appreciate your choice..

[@latishamyles1702]

ever time i hear that ringtone I automatically think of The OC

[@wimbletone]

ever since it came out in the oc, this song became my personal song.its been years and still, everything in this episode reflects me. the song is amazing...this song has been with me through lots of depressing times..

[@ContenidoNeto]

I like to hear it when I go to the beach

[@RevoZtuns]

This will forever be ‘their song’

[@jordan2d2]

I've never been attached to a tv couple like I am to Marissa and Ryan

[@yui2006]

Me too

[@regrets_romcoms]

The worst part is that that was their song

[@recepkose0657]

everytime i remember the o.c. i get sad.i've never felt like this about a tv show.not even about my favourites

[@mh-wp9yx]

2024 and we still here!

[@ball1nalb0]

this scene is awesome! defintly number one on my list, the song sets mood.

[@thomas1093]

Watching this show again, takes me to happy/sad place. At the time I was dating a girl and we would watch the shows together. That's actually how we first met, I remember saying to her when I first met her was "hey we should hang out sometime smoke and watch the OC together". After that we dated for several months. Long story short she ended up being a crazy psychopath , but in a weird way when I watch these episodes it makes me sad. Good show..

[@jpsanchez97]

I cried.

[@helloishuk]

One thing the writers of this show absolutely loved to do was torture Marissa !

[@AstroSully]

And never develop her as a character. Threw her out like trash when they thought her character served no purpose anymore. Unbelievably shit writing. Killed the show cause of that decision. Hope they’re happy.

[@datickywickygurl]

Where is "Fix You" by Coldplay when Caleb dies?? That moment didn't even make it to the top 10 :( And "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap should have at LEAST been in the top 3!!! How can you not get goosebumps when you hear *BANG* Mmm whatcha sayyyy???

[@maddygoodwin]

It gave me goosebumps just you talking about the scene where Marissa shoots Trey! One of the best scenes in all of the OC :p

[@chriscem]

they're not ranked in order :)

[@elviejohg744]

And when trey leaves town? it isn't even in the top 50

[@gustavochrisostomo2872]

Coldplay is sucks

[@hautxtalons]

I LOVE you for makin these "best music moment" videos!! Thank you!

[@kk7872]

this song defined the show for me. Although I was never a big fan of marissa, this was one of the most memorable and saddest moments in the story. I think I cried when I saw this on tv, but I'm glad you posted it so I can remember it next time I listen to the song!

[@vigi14816903]

This scene gets me all the time😭

[@hirnatuzgan]

Mischa Barton was an amazing actress!!

[@leonardo3089able]

i still cant accept the way they broke up, like, by the phone, seriously????

[@abprepboy33]

so let me get this straight.... all johnny had to do if he wanted a shot with marrissa is introduce his cousin to ryan?

[@israellozano6972]

abprepboy33 lol yep

[@aliciahamilton6419]

I can agree we all had a person in our life that we always were hanging up with them a lot, being important in our life but suddenly due to external things we moved away from them and in our daily life we still think of it, cause we lived a lot with them and shared many memories

[@LalaEspos]

I MISS MARISSA😢😢😢😢

[@freakingauche]

after all they've been through, their breaking up through a phone call..they could've done better, i guess.

[@Atanasii18]

My favorite scene, it made me so sad :( Thank u!

[@manyaag]

this song is addictive and so beautiful, i think its hard to make a choice

[@willhull1735]

Poor Marissa she always put up a front even to Ryan but in secret she was distraught as she loved him.

[@sunflower4096]

I really liked Ryan but breaking up with your girlfriend on the phone is mean.

[@LL-ht5yc]

He was a kid in his first official relationship and he was about to hook up with the other girl. Better to do it over the phone than cheat

[@ContenidoNeto]

He was a dick with Marissa most of the time 😒😔

[@RT-zu4ju]

Are yall stupid..?? Everytime they were together she would fuck him over with a new guy ..

[@blader3]

killing her character off is the worst decision ever

[@kamikazechaos720]

Marissa Actress wanted to do movies instead of the show that is why her character got killed off. Dumbass

[@blader3]

+kamikazechaos720 They could have just written her out not kill the character tho. She was suppose to go live with her dad why not just go with that narrative.

[@JoycePinto]

It was the actress that wanted her dead. Given how her career died too...that was stupid.

[@regrets_romcoms]

They would've just written her out, but the director didn't want for her to just be able come back whenever, they had to cut her off.

[@percabethforever4483]

For sure why did she have to die. There is no oc without her

[@janes2274]

Happy for Ryan to move on without Marissa. Because the last time Rayn and Marissa met at her trailer, she says to Rayn ' You're glad Johnny's gone aren't you? ' and Ryan replied to Marissa ' I'm not going to answer that '.

[@twdfanatic6571]

Last time they broke up :(

[@superfob54]

This is the worst moment in the whole series. Honestly, I hated the closure Ryan and Marissa's relationship got. By watching season 4, I think it was pretty clear that Ryan loved Marissa to death. But, season 3 left me wondering whether Marissa still loved Ryan by the time of her death. In season 1, they looked like they were meant for each other. Season 3 ruined that.

[@rbishop95]

Brandon Sharpe yeah Ryan was defs more in love with Marissa than she was with him

[@MrYeab0iiii]

I think from this scene alone you could tell she was still in love with Ryan... she just didn’t know what to say or do to fix it. Which is why she was crying and he seemed okay

[@ContenidoNeto]

@@MrYeab0iiii He’s the worse

[@1986Unlimited]

I think the bad writing and backstage problems contributed to her character being so stupid. Humoring it anyway, Marissa and Ryan were destined for a breakup because of the natural progression of their life. Ryan's life started off bad and got better so he was more grounded and used to tough times. He just needed a little guidance. Marissa's life on the other hand, started off great and went straight to the toilet and because she always had it good, she never had to learn how to deal with tough times. She also had no guidance because her relationship with her mom sucked and her dad couldn't get his shit together. So, she made bad choices related to alcohol, drugs, a lack of boundaries, and terrible guys..and the results continued to lead her further down that hole she was digging for herself., For her to turn it around, she would have needed to go her own way and figure things out and her relationship with Ryan would have just held that journey back and prevented her from developing. Unfortunately, she died tragically before she could.

[@AstroSully]

Season 1 was peak O.C. writer ruined it when they decided to make this season depressing with no real satisfaction for Marissa’s or Ryan’s character. No closure, no development no nothing. Just problem after problem. This is where O.C. started to die as a series.

[@AstroSully]

Figuratively speaking they were already broken up way before this. Atleast on Ryan’s part because there’s no way he would just hook up and forget about it right after. But you never know we how shitty the writing was at this point. I love this pair. They were never given a shot by the writers. Almost doomed to fail. They deserved better. Marissa deserved better.

[@nishadseeraj7034]

i know its not the most popular opinion but i quite liked season 4. I know it wasn't quite as dramatic as the previous seasons and thats kind of what the oc is about (done so well i might add haha) but it was nice, net the first 3 episodes seeing a relatively angst free ryan. Ryan and Taylor were nice together, normal. Great wrap up to an amazing show!

[@ZeHivez]

5 Ofc mate! love you for puting them up

[@broganbrogan12]

the goodbye girl - the part where anna leaves and seth goes after her! that's the best by far!

[@MrYeab0iiii]

Why do I think about this scene so often

[@sophiiniko]

Worst fucking break up ever. Makes me so angry til this day.

[@VV-nz4dv]

this season was so fucking sad

[@Lptla]

Totally right!!A break-up at phone?? What it is??Come on!I loved them :( The scene is sooo sad!Poor Marissa!

[@ConnecticutsBest]

OMG I forgot about this scene. clicked on it and didnt know. wow. this is the song they danced to, now they break up to it. I love her and him WOOOW OC my life

[@theocrox44]

haha! She just came out of nowhere and suddenly Ryan liked her...lol

[@lib3rtycity21]

never forget this moment

[@wimbletone]

you cant blame marissa. first she shot someone, ryan kinda implied it was her fault when she confronted him in her room which btw wasnt meant by ryan that way, then johnny died, her mum was broke, volchok screwed her up, ryan is with the girl from his past, the dean hated her, her dad left her and did not marry her mum which gave marissa hope to have her family complete again...with those shit going on? who's emotion wouldn't be too cloudy???

[@ContenidoNeto]

Marissa is the best 💔

[@RT-zu4ju]

Stop that shit .. everytime her and ryan dated she shitted on him with a new guy she barely even knew

[@Tebe87]

the best music moment in the o.c. is when we can listen "forever young" for the first time, when marissa and rayan decide their song and dance on it! not in this episode!

[@yanikj]

i love your list but you need to make some space for 'Hide and Seek' by Imogen Heap, when Trey gets shot. Also 'The Sea and the Rhythm' by Iron and Wine, in the season 1 finale when Ryan tells the gang he's leaving. And finally, Joseph Arthur's 'Honey and the Moon' in the pilot, when Sandy drives Ryan away and he sees Marissa through the window :D

[@ContenidoNeto]

I like how you think 👍🏼❤️

[@Loreli640]

well when i saw this moment for the first time i remeber the kind of feelings of the 1 and 2 season , this was really amazing. no the number 1 maybe the song but no the moment

[@orangecounty8399]

i tottaly agree,u are so cool hun'!!!!you go girl!!1

[@Bitterrooter1]

Kamealeilani is correct, this version of the song is by the Aussie group Youth Group!

[@oywidapoodles]

Don't know if it's fit for #1, but I remember after I saw this, the song was stuck in my head for quite a while, and I do still associate the song with this scene. Where is the "Hello Sunshine" cue in the list? That's pretty messed up that it's not present. Tsk Tsk.

[@urielef]

wowow gracias por poner los mejores momentos wooww thanks

[@dangerzeek]

guys, I don't think this is a countdown...I think it's just a list...

[@livexthexlife192]

i LOVE this song! and yea i really love this moment too. Wen Volchok comes to the beach at the end and marissa is crying nd they just look @ each other nd dont say anything, thn look out at the water. idk i just thought tht was really cute, i kno he's suppose to be the bad ass but i love him. Hes a total babe. But yea i really love this song. it was sly how ths was R/M's song, nd then its the same song wen they break up.

[@ZeHivez]

If you read what the owner of "BestoftheOC" has written he/she says that the numbers don't have anything to do with their rank... it's just the order of putting them up

[@VMars24TheOC]

awwhhh... i miss the OC... it makes me cry... ive seen all the season over and over and over... it upsets me. :( how did this get #1?!

[@camilatapia9305]

This reminds me.... I really hate Sadie ¬¬

[@Salvaju29ro95]

+ Abprepboy33 true

[@luciana-sz3zn]

I hate sadie and teressa , the relation not was the same.

[@ContenidoNeto]

I hate Ryan more 🤬

[@Majiss]

Best scene ever!!!! 💋😍😘

[@yetzer19]

Imogen Heap covered Hallelujah in the third season finale. The song's been covered a lot.

[@Salvaju29ro95]

When I saw this I screamed: FINALLY

[@HaileeMalyne]

Ugh this was so sad.

[@jeda041]

Beautiful Song

[@fullofcrapiam]

its not numbered according to how good the song is. it was just the 1st song uploaded.

[@Labbish1]

How I remember this song was played season 1 (or 2, cant remember) where they danced. Well, it's on DVD so it can be possible they switched that :)

[@donniewinter5331]

Wish he ended up with Sadie the vampire last name Cullen irony of cohen

[@PTizzleAusGN]

For the record, I do think this deserves a spot *somewhere* on the list, just not number one.

[@PTizzleAusGN]

It wasn't a poor comment - he explained his reasoning well. I don't agree with the choice either, mainly because I don't love the song and think that there's more deserving moments, but it was a fine comment and it's a fine choice in the uploaders eyes.

[@orangecounty8399]

you guys are right!he was punching her for her tiny crush on johnny!then what do you call this?i mean look at them befor R/M break up,and it is a stupied break up,he is so coward,the phone!the phone ryan?OMG you are really...i don't know,besides,ryan and sadie...OMG THEY SUCK!I MEAN LIKE EVERYBODY IS WRITING HERE!SHE WAS FLIRTING WITH HIM EVEN THOUGH SHE KNEW THAT HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.WHO IS MARISSA.I THOUGHT SHE WAS MARISSA'S FRIEND,A FRIEND does that

[@tunisianouammour]

even "running up that hill" was excellent. But I do prefer this one coz' of the amazing sad scene Marissa brilliantly managed to perform, whereas in the other, Ryan didn't let his feelings be expressed through his face, he never does (except when marissa....)

[@ryandeffley7652]

Their breakup (by phone) was just like S3 in general - lackluster. The first season (minus Oliver) still holds up as some of the best TV from that era. Even the second season was decent to a lesser extent. But S3 was just AWFUL in every aspect. What made it even worse was that Marissa was the main focus of the season and Mischa Barton looked bored AF in every scene. You could tell she hated being there.

[@AstroSully]

I would be too if I had to play a character that badly written and used as punching bag for chaotic plots. Season 1 O.C. is untouchable compared to the rest due to that fact. The writers got to addicted to the Oliver Syndrome which was by far the worst aspect of season 1. They paid the price when the ratings plummeted.

[@guilleaguinaga8900]

extraño ver esta serie sadie wapicimaaaaaaa

[@kamealeilani]

in my opinion, my favourite music moment was the season finale of season 3 when imogen heap's 'hallelujah' plays when marissa dies

[@DanielaLopez-rz7iu]

Desde siempre me a encantado esta serie, es mi favorita y bueno Marissa siempre fue mí personaje ficticio favorito, podía identificarme perfecto con ella y ahhhh jejeje 2017.... aún sigo amando esta serie y aún lloro por que Marissa murió 😢😢

[@ContenidoNeto]

Lo sé 😢😿 Creo que debieron contratar a otra actriz looking like Marissa para poder seguir con la serie pero nunca pasó 😕🙁

[@enricobeltramelli3540]

Ryan e marisss forever

[@kariimgaz]

I get so sad with the breakup, a void in the stomach because they were hurting, but also, i did not believe how long it took to really happen. 🥺 I know Marissa chose Ryan, but, she was somehow in love with Johnny too and everyone knew, Ryan did for sure and even then, he tried to be there for her (Even when Marissa chose every person instead of Ryan in several ocasions and its tiresome cause she never made up her mind). Then Johnny (which is boring as hell) dies and Sadie comes along and people wondered why Ryan moved on that quickly? Oh boy, he did after seeing that was no use to be in a relationship where the other person apparently did not want it to be anymore...

[@Rambo2Good]

agreed. its the most insanely cutest part in their whole relationship. actually... it ties for first with the spiderman kiss :P

[@prettygirlrock06100]

they are couple goals

[@McExceptional]

omg! i almost cried...poor Marissa. I hate Sadie...She was flirting with him even that she knows that he was with Marissa at the same time...grrr It looks that Ryan was with Sadie ,cause he wanted to punish Marissa for her little crush in Johnny...ehhhh

[@ContenidoNeto]

Yeah he kind of did and Marissa’s sister push all of this !!

[@kubinskaart]

we miss you oc :'( !!!

[@Keumii56]

No forever young is by Youth Group. :p

[@karlholmgren1]

Word up! The best episode of O.C. ever.

[@ConnecticutsBest]

wow its number one in OC moments. It is number one because they have history and this is the last time they are together so makes sense. Maybe it could have been Paint the slience

[@Cyrsztof]

tfw you break up with someone in almost exact same way. It hurts

[@tinkerbelle880]

ok is the guy at the very end of this the one mean vampire from twilight?!

[@Lptla]

You're totally right! He was so stupid!!Poor Marissa..after Jhonny's death! :(

[@r0l0p0l0]

whos ryan with at the beginning?

[@shanewilson2484]

Wistful song that suits the scene. Hmmmm ... back then I was young.

[@lovess80]

wait is this when they breakup and never get together through all da episodes nd seasons...so like they never got together again even in the nxt seasons?/

[@magi134ema]

actually it's the Youth Group's version

[@angelwithnightmares]

Poor Marissa :'(

[@lovess80]

who is this song by??

[@blazeblase]

its a bit 12 years old to brake up over a cellphone

[@lightningreturns7590]

marissa made me cry 😔

[@leonardo3089able]

Meu Deus, como odeio o Ryan... Pra começar não teve coragem nem de terminar como HOMEM, terminou por telefone. Mal rompeu com ela e já foi partindo logo pra cima dessa chata da Sadie (se bem que antes disso ele meio que já tinha dado em cima da garota antes). Ao contrário dele, Marissa só ficou com alguém (vulgo volchock) simplesmente por se sentir completamente abandonada e cheia de traumas. Como essa princesa sofreu... Talvez, morta ela pôde finalmente sentir o conforto que sempre esteve procurando. Ryan deixá-la foi o gatilho pra tudo que aconteceu depois. Ele era a única coisa que a mantinha segura. Nunca entenderei o pq de colocarem a Cooper como vilã nisso tudo, sendo que, pra mim, Ryan é um sonso e se acha dono da razão sempre, muitas vezes cagando pra como a guria se sentia. Saco!
