Pretty in Pink
Dawn and Marra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is on my side tho' the world keeps gettin' colder
'Cause I've got you, girl to ease my troubled mind
I'm a different man when your head is on my shoulder
I can find the answers in me that I never tho't I'd find

'Cause you look in my eyes pretty woman
The world is a peaceful place
All I can see when there's you
And there's me is love upon your face
Stand by me, baby and we'll find the way
Before our day is done
Look in my eyes pretty woman and we'll overcome

You're my guiding star, you're my faith
My hope, my power when I just can't
Find a reason to believe
Touch my hand with love
And you light my darkest hour
I can feel the warm returning




And my pain about to leave
(repeat chorus)

I would ask Dan and Dave, Benioff and Minute Weiss, the two men yet to marry each other that now work at Netflix because any real money won't touch them.

I think being able to become as infamous and pilloried as they in so few episodes deserves study.

Their poop halo was so extreme not one of the actors that were in GoT has starred in a successful movie since.

Now that's a poop halo stain that's legendary and requires study.

Dumb and Dumber, the masters of their craft.

I love interviews with professionals like this. It's both a learning and inspirational experience.

One More Chaunce

As a film editor, this is soooooooo educational for me. Thank you.

Andrew Kamen

Imagine if the story were as complex as the technical feats required to produce it 🤯

Nathan Miller Video

That actually looks like a ton of fun. I'm a supervisor working on pre-recorded content for ESPN and Monster totally different type of film editing but I love the end results that come out of Netflix.

Switchman

I watched this film yesterday and I was amazed how the editor pulled off everything esp this incredible scene. I was thrilled in fact, great Job Netflix.

Austin Alvarez

This has become my favorite YouTube channel. Just based on tips I have gotten from this channel and just going out and doing the damn thing I have been able to gain jobs in editing so thanks!

After spending a year at film school and working on avid it’s pretty cool to see the same workflow that we were trained on thanks for the vid man

@Krizhiel Carnacito The one I went to was incredible! Was 90% practical throughout. Typically any University/College Film school courses aren’t great for hands on work so if you’re interested in studying film make sure you choose a school that specialises practicality.

Krizhiel Carnacito

was film school worth it??

@rugpaper yeah man most production/ edit houses work on Avid it’s an extremely powerful program especially for real time group editing
