ryan & marissa | coney island

[@herzebrock]

Nothing hurts like these two. They were "it" for me you know? They had this kind of energy not many couples have. I'm rewatching the series for the first time since I was 18 and still feel so connected to their story. Wonderful vid!

[@sophiakarina5322]

“What’s a lifetime of achievement” line and parallel surprisingly hit the hardest. Ryan saved Marissa so many times but he probably feels like it was somewhat futile cause he couldn’t save her in the end.

[@Kster95]

This is so tender and painful and raw--exactly what Marissa and Ryan had together. Your matchups were perfect and poignant. Glad this ship still has videos being made about them since I have a soft spot for them whenever I rewatch the O.C.

[@nedlovesyou]

omg thank you so much, this comment made me tear up 🥺 I’m glad I’m not the only one who still has a huge soft spot for them!

[@Liampaynegirl91]

So what did that letter said from Marisa for Ryan can someone tell me that

[@sophiakarina5322]

@@Liampaynegirl91 they never say entirely what it says but Julie sums it up as “she said that she loved him but that she needed to go and maybe they would find their way back one day”

[@CheerfullyCynical829]

Marissa was the worst girlfriend to ever be on TV. She thought her hot looks and rich upbringing entitled her to behave any way she wanted. She screwed Ryan's life up so much.

[@procrastinationblues]

This is a masterpiece. I appreciate how consistently you matched to the lyrics it makes it so satisfying. The way you've matched to lyrics in places (like for the lines "sitting on a bench in Coney Island" "we're like the mall" "Disappointments close your eyes" "And it gets colder and colder") is so clever. And ahhh the parallels, and the tracking shots I can't. I haven't watched the show but this was so shippy and beautiful to watch. So glad I'm subscribed

[@nedlovesyou]

thank you so much!!!!!!! I’m so glad you loved the tracking shots, I found myself really wanting to focus on the show’s original cinematography when editing this because even all these years later it still hits. and the fact that you didn’t watch the show but still watched this such a compliment! THANK YOU

[@perrymon96]

this was so beautifully made it gave me my first good 5 minute cry of 2021

[@nedlovesyou]

thank you so much!!! I hope it was a cathartic cry🤞🏻🥺

[@VioletEmerald]

How has no one yet mentioned how gosh the male voice singing the part about "and when i got into the accident, the sight that flashed before me was your face" being DAMN so perfect, also the way you match the "merry go [round]" idea with their two classic ferris wheel scenes is EVERYTHING and i honestly when i first heard this song thought of them because of the Ferris Wheel stuff! (I mean i think of Coney Island as a permanent small carnival place despite never having been there... So the whole title kinda evokes that carnival feel as a very significant part of the nostalgia being sung about.) Others have mentioned other really perfect matches that left me in awe and adoring this SO much. Like "the mall before the internet" whole section of tee vid was so so beautifully done and also evokes the age of the show The O.C. and how the internet wasn't really as fully a part of these teens lives as teens today, smart phones weren't quite a thing yet... And just gosh... The way you took the lyrics about the couple's special spot by trees and made it their little lifeguard hut on the beach thing... I loved all the little tiny things just as much as the big things too. 1:55 I don't think i ever before noticed all the hundred other times I've seen that hand on her back scene and even vidded it myself how his thumb is bruised from fighting still. This quality and coloring finally made me see what I usually miss entirely. I loved the soft voiceovers for them saying each other's names when the lyrics were about saying their names, super undervidded special stuff there. I rewatched the whole series only 2 years ago but you really make me want to rewatch it yet again. This is so gorgeous and amazing. When just the opening two scenes, the emotion on their faces, the uniqueness of vidding those scenes at all but especially to set the tone of the entire vid. I need to rewatch this amazing vid a bunch more times. I was thinking I wanted to vid this song but vids like this make that prospect quite intimidating! This was a perfect use of such an emotional song.

[@nedlovesyou]

oh my god this one one of the best comments I've ever gotten, thank you so much!!! I am so glad you loved that "when I got into the accident" part because that was one of the first lines that screamed ryan/marissa to me when I was listening to this song and I could so clearly see that airport scene from s4. I love what you said about the "mall before the internet" line evoking the age of the oc -- I think this show is so interesting because it does feel very early 2000s in the best ways but it also feels timeless at the same time??? and I feel the same way about this song. idk how to really describe it but it's like when I heard this song for the first time and when I watched the oc for the first time (and even now rewatching it) they felt brand new but totally familiar at the same time? it's wild I am so glad you loved this and thank you so much for leaving such a sweet and detailed comment

[@catou121]

This was beautiful and yet so evil! The way you matched the lyrics??? Unprecedented?! The « who am i related to » part, the mall part and « the sun goes down » part at the end...my poor heart! I love this so much, that was amazing!

[@nedlovesyou]

OMG THANK YOU!! like I said in my description I’ve been so inspired by your angel/cordelia edit to exile, it really is my favorite edit to that song and it’s part of what gave me the idea to apply taylor’s songs to older ships. so glad you liked this! ❤️❤️

[@malenaalvarez6344]

Ever since I saw this video I have to watch it at least once a day. I'm rewatching the OC because of this, and their relationship is so sad and real at the same time, I love Marissa as a person and as a character. You capture their essence in this video so good!

[@nedlovesyou]

thank you so much ❤️

[@lifexintechnicolour]

this is one of the most perfect Ryan/Marissa videos I have ever seen.

[@invisiblesoup8943]

I think about this edit every once and a while and I always come back to watch it. this is so insanely beautiful

[@m.6886]

i haven’t seen this show yet, but i just know that these two have a beautifully tragic love story after watching this. this is great.

[@serendipityxo]

wow. this song was made for these two. spectacular job... im speechless.... 💕

[@serendipityxo]

literally going to rewatch this a thousand times... over and over...

[@nedlovesyou]

@@serendipityxo THANK YOU!!!!! ❤️ I see what you did there with the lyrics 😂 love that

[@serendipityxo]

@@nedlovesyou ;)))))

[@ForeverFashionGirl21]

Wow. A true masterpiece. I had no idea what I was in for. I am watching the show for the first time but always knew of the iconicness that was and is Ryan and Marissa.

[@whiimsy]

this is absolutely the softest saddest thing ive ever seen!!! i've not seen this show/these 2 in its entirety but this was on another level of perfect, this song fit them so perfectly and the parallels you drew to the trouble they have and their younger more carefree days was beautiful! an absolute work of art and i'm going to have to come back to this when i finish the show! i know its in quite a simple style but it fits the song and the mood so perfectly, a beautiful edit for sure!

[@nedlovesyou]

thank you!!!!!! this is such a sweet comment omg, I love that you appreciated the flashbacks to their younger carefree days - when I was marking up the song to edit all my notes were like “flashbacks to happier times!” 😂 and thank you so much for saying the simple editing worked, I found it really difficult to reign it in when I wanted to start adding overlays and text and all that so I’m glad you think it works as it is ❤️

[@hurleybird]

god this was ART. i saw the title and the ship and i was already like oh my god that's perfect, that's the perfect song for them. and then you went and did everything i knew you would do, perfectly pacing and matching every lyric in the song (which is not an easy thing to do!!!) i especially love all the little parallels you found, and devastatingly using the ryan carrying marissa parallels at the end was perfect. i'm honestly really touched to see my vids in the description, especially if that got you to make this that's truly the best compliment i could ever receive. really thank you so much for such a great tribute to such a heartbreaking ship, i'll never be over them!

[@nedlovesyou]

the way I screamed when I saw that you commented on this -- thank you so much!!!!!!!! I literally have been watching your joey/pacey ivy video every day since you put it out, it is just absolute perfection! I'm so glad you liked this, especially that you liked the parallels at the end -- I second guessed using them because I know they've been done so much before but I just couldn't help it! you are truly one of my favorite editors so I am honored

[@hannahj7893]

i've watched this a thousand times

[@Sarah-rj5th]

I think Ryan was always there for Marissa, and knew that she would let him be there for her and sort of save her, but in the end it took it out of him because he couldn’t save her that one last time. 🥲 I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Ryan and Marissa. 💕

[@damnvers]

I'm rewatching the oc and this video is breaking my heart. you got their relationship absolutely perfectly!

[@aindrirane4394]

Stoppp how can you do thisss 😭 this is literally my favourite song and they're my favourites too ahhh I can't accept how well those lyrics go with those scenes 💔 congratulations you're officially talented in crushing hearts 😭

[@StarryEyedEdits]

4:12-4:17 I am in pain!?!?!? I don't even know what to say...this is the the best Ryan/Marissa video I've seen to date. I'm just sitting here, kinda speechless and kinda in PAINNNN! Well done 🤧

[@nedlovesyou]

omg thank you so much - this comment made my day ❤️

[@micaelacardosocharles8501]

this is sooo beautiful, truly a masterpiece, taylor lyrics matched so well❤😭

[@moodydreamer]

The fact that I am actually not a big fan of them, but I’m still crying says how much power this edit has. This is a piece of art. I don’t know how is it possible that I’ve discovered your channel only now, seriously. You are incredible. You matched the scenes perfectly, and the ending totally destroyed me. That “Marissa” “Ryan?” made me cry my eyes out. One of the best edits ever❤️

THIS IS EPIC, i’m not the biggest ryissa stan but they should’ve been endgame and this edit is perfect!

[@jordanrosenburg]

"Yeah, I have a question. First of all, how dare you?" - The Office Season 4. THIS MADE ME WHIMPER AND TEAR UP AND MADE MY HEART CLENCH AND I'M JUST VERY EMO RIGHT NOW! Obviously I haven't seen all of the episodes, but oh my god how tragic and sad. 0:37 the shot of him in the driveway looking over at her with the cigarette??? Iconic. Even though you know I'm not a fan of the person who sings this song, the way you weave the clips to really capture the message is so astounding and impressive. "And if this is a long hail, how'd we get here so soon?" HAS SO MANY MEANINGS FOR THEM!! Is it about them falling for each other so soon, or how when things were finally going right she died??? The consecutive clips of him putting his arm around her shoulders for comfort. 2:50 "at our old spot" THE LIFEGAURD TOWER GOHIIFEONGOSNOUI and 3:45 when he's carrying her with the fire behind him?? broke my dang heart. Another fantastic manip!!

[@nedlovesyou]

UGH ILY 😭😭😭 thank you so much for watching this. maybe someday we’ll finish our oc watch? or I’ll pick out some key later episodes? BUT omg, I love what you said about the “if this is the long haul, how’d we get here so soon” line! a lot of lines in this song stick out to me, but that was a huge one and it definitely adds an extra bittersweet layer to ryan and marissa because they were the epitome of being cut short 😩😩 but it also speaks to how quickly they fell for each other too! I hadn’t thought about to quite like that so I love that you brought up that point ❤️

[@ianellagoldstein4118]

Oh god this hurts so so bad *awesome edit btw *

[@itsnoteasy2bme]

YES loved how well you matched the lyrics to the clips. these two were always painful to ship and that came out in this video. so beautifully done.

this is stunning i am in awe

[@nedlovesyou]

ahh thank you 💕

[@lilitifrock]

😭 I...😭😭😭 Okay, so you have me in tears here, and this is something cause though I shipped them I wasn't very invested in that show (always wanted to but never found the time). But anyway, the fact that I'm crying is, I believe, a proof (not that you need to prove anything) of how good your vid is! It's truly remarkable, the song, their story, your editing... The way the lyrics just fit...This is amazing! Brilliant vid!

[@sofiavolpi1102]

just gonna open up a little bit here cause no one really talks about the oc anymore. ryan and marissa were really "it". but that's why i think marissa had to die. despite knowing what misha was facing when she leaft the show, her caracter never had the caracter arc to last till the end. i feel like everyone around her evolved e she was left behind, since she was with volchok on the last two episodes before the finale. i try to erase season 4 from my memory since the first three seasons were so meaningful. i was so angry when they tried to brush off her death. i wish ryan, julie, jimmy, summer, luke and everyone that made an impact in her life got together and talked about her, and that could be the end of it. just really sad mischa doesn't really appreciate her time on the show, bc she was kinda living marissa's live irl, and i hate that people fatshame her and judge the the way she would act on set bc she was really struggling in her personal life, and the early 2000s were such a hard time for so many celebrities considering how disgusting the tabloids were bach then. it would make my heart so warm to see the cast or at least imagine that they are in good terms. this show is going to mark my life forever and i'm so happy that there are edits being made about it. it was truly iconic and revolutionary, ty so much for this ❤️

Ryan cuando necesitaba respuesta iva o solo o con los demás a la hoguera y de hay analizaba su tiempo que de estar con Marisa a la lejanía la manera de compartir y volcarse en ella era de volcarse a lo que a ella le sucediera en ella misma a Ryan acostumbraba a tener la razón y cuando una Marisa no le dio la razón en una reacción era como querer aprender como lo hace Marisa para estar en familia de los coen bien si estar a malas de hay el aprendía de ella ella aprendía era como haces para de tus pregunta si respuesta ir a la hoguera solo a buscar la pregunta que se quedó un día con preguntarle a Marisa y no se atrevía no perdía la esperanza de un día parar y decírselo preguntárselo en su cara cada uno lo vive de una manera distinta
