My Wife Reacts (And Cries) To Yung Lean - Agony 

this song was written about leandoer's experience, and his overdose, that he had in miami. he had been suffering with substance abuse for a while but he had finally gone 'crazy' and almost killed himself. bladee (another artist that lean is close with) has spoken about how afraid he was of him, how it was almost like an entirely different person inside of lean. many lyrics in this song are about his time, struggling with hallucinations and overall paranoia. another aspect of these lyrics are about how the psychosis affected his relationships and views people have on him. if you want to learn more, the yung lean documentary explains it in way more detail than i have, and also is an overall good watch. (love the video

the whole album is really beautiful with the last 2 tracks being a two-hit ko to your heart

I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video so fast from a youtuber I’ve never seen before lmao

These random singles you've been doing have been fun. Some unexpected picks and definitely different to what everyone else reacts to

Once the pandora's box is opened it's really difficult to go back. It is not just the rawness of the vocals, the sound, the subject matter. Everything he puts out, be it a project or a performance, feels so visceral and so real. I really recommend watching the documentary on vice's channel. I also recommend listening to the whole of stranger and his Jonatan Leandoer projects. Also shouts out to DJ Poolboi

Just watched a couple of ur videos. Ur wife is a really good listener, I can feel her inner peace

For me this song perfectly encapsulates Yung Lean's persona and why he is such a unique artist. This is a song written by someone at his lowest low, you can feel the sadness and darkness of what he had to go through (drug abuse, mental hospitals, the death of Barron...) and yet he managed to make something so beautiful out of it. It's sad, of course it is, but it's hopeful, out of the darkest places he managed to create beauty for others to relate to, a beam of hope for others that are struggling. I have come back to this song plenty of times over the years, when things were not going great for me, and it always feels like a hug from a friend, comforting, you can cry here, there is no judging, it's okay to suffer for a bit now, it will pass, there is still hope, if he made it, you can too. I'm not Yung Lean biggest fan by any means, but he's influence and uniqueness as an artist can't be understated, this song will always make me so glad he survived the struggles that come with fame as such an early age (he was just a random kid from Sweden that blew up on the internet when he was 16, after all) and can still deliver such powerful and original art to this day. PS: You should read the article that The Fader did on him around this time ( it's titled "Yung Lean’s Second Chance"), it provides great context for what was going on in his life while recording this song.

on a similar yet somewhat happier vibe you could listen to "bender++girlfriend", otherwise "miami ultras", "boylife in the eu", "red bottom sky" and "blue plastic" are in my opinion perfect songs to get into yung lean's music

you should definitely react to stranger, its full of emotional tracks like this and it all comes purely from the heart

i was not expecting this one

this song makes me cry without fail every time man

I hope you guys do more Yung lean!

pls watch his documentary to get to know him better, this song is hitting even harder after all he experienced

I loved this reaction! I am a big fan of Yung Lean's music, and I found your reaction to be similar to my own upon first hearing this song. Lots of commenters have mentioned the song being about his psychosis, but I believe that it is also a response to the death of his good friend, which happened the night he experienced the psychotic episode. I hear it (especially the first verse) as an apology to his friend, and how his grief at the time was overshadowed by his psychotic break. As he healed, he had a whole other battle to fight. The White Ferrari comparison was also spot on, as Yung Lean briefly appears on Blonde (although it is debated how much his voice actually appears throughout the tracklist). The Spooky Black shout out at the end was a surprise too! Without You is wonderful, but I would check out Mourn, an LP he released as Corbin. A reaction to that album would be wonderful! Thank you for this review! I forget about this song sometimes, so it was nice to come back to.

besides this amazing song, the description of the video got me whining up in tears

I cried again. Just so much emotion in the track.

I adore you, the sound of your skin!!! 🎶💔😭🎶💔😭🎶💔😭🎶💔😭🎶💔😭

Yung Lean a legend my dude started a whole movement I can tell you like 25 rappers that adopted his style I really enjoyed the Yung lean documentary you learned so much about him but so much about the new hip hop genre to be a Yung lean fan you really got to know how to interpret a lot of his metaphors... he's not a bar rapper he's a metaphor rapper a deep hybrid conscience rapper

You guys should react to ab soul "the book of soul". It's about his relationship with his girlfriend who tragically took her life. It's a great, really depressing song

goosebumps everytime i hear this

Its iconic how she said how it reminded her of white ferrari since leandoer plays the vocals on it

Love this song so much

If you know why he wrote this and saw him explain it. It makes you want to cry. You can truly feel the sadness, confusion and overall chaos of what he went through. It's very intense

we love yung lean

Please do a whole album review on stranger, yung lean also got an amazing documentary about his upbringing in the rap scene! Great video earned a sub!

this song saved my life....

wait till she hears bladee

If you haven't already you gotta listen to Tell Me by Corbin (spooky black) one of the best intro songs to a album I've heard in a long time

4:46 idk how Molly found the perfect comparison

I recommand some Yabujin stuff like "baroque" or Chalice of mind

For a similar sad/depressed track id recommend Hotel in Minsk or Winter by Bladee and Thaiboy Digital, a more fun kind of track by lean could be Butterfly Paralyzed and you should definetely check out Hennessy and Sailor Moon

Since Molly likes darker music can we get some FKA Twigs reviews?

All of drain gang (ik yung lean isnt dg, still a frequent collaborator and close friends with them) has always been able to express emotions and feelings in beautiful ways through their music. Thank god that they are an independent group and have their own creative ruling. I dont know yall at all, but i suggest listening to ecco2k's verse from stillborn/reprise, its what ive been on recently!

Yung Lean is my nr.1 favorite artist. I might be biased cause he's from Stockholm just like me, but he's just SO open and unforgivingly himself. He created a sound for early genZs with depression, which is most of us lol. It's so unique and the production is always amazing. He's inspiring because he has been through so much, but he got through it and came out a wiser and better person. I hope you listen to more stuff from him. He's got bangers, and songs to make you cry

i feel like yall would love starz by yung lean one of my fav albums ever

yung lean gon hard af on my feelings and shih ngl

yung lean similar vibes i thonk youd like-hotel in minsk, yellowman, never again, hunting my own skin, girlfriend/bender, wooden girl, also check out bladee and ecco2k- girls just wanna have fun!

Beautiful song

Good video once again

Also just started listening to young lean

She just got drained

Beautiful...

Archie, It would be interesting if you reacted to some songs or albums that Molly picks for you too. Please, think about it! ☺️

Has Molly listened to Lil Ugly Mane - volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern? I feel like she would really like the production on that album. Maybe not the most requested album in your comments lol but even just in your own time i think its worth a listen :)

yung lean actually was a big inspiration for frank ocean so makes sense why they could have similarities.

She correlates good songs with eachother.

Yung lean literally the greatest artist of all time

fallen demon is another masterpiece from this album

if you want another by him then check out hotel in minsk, is also beautiful

earl sweatshirt - solace and she never be the same person

You should watch the in my head documentary on yung lean together

Thanks for that reaction. Would recommend Joji - YEAH RIGHT

description is very funny hahahahah

i like how she compared it to white farreri!

Min 1:33: Wow 😃 Min 1:42: Wow 🥺

you should definitely check out hennessy & sailor moon by yung lean and bladee if you liked mellow lean

Lovely video, im also inspired to find a wife now

Never heard of young lean but I like the song! And going to listen to spooky black now. Missed a few vids.. are you guys still listening to albums or mostly songs now? Maybe try some lil peep. He has some great tracks

She said it reminds her of white Ferrari, he actually on Godspeed by frank ocean

i'm kinda yung lean fan and i really want to recomend to listen smirnoff ice, hennessy and Sailor Moon, trashy, Low, this songs giving more ambient and "agony" vibes, but he has lots of other great songs like hurt, muddy sea, yellowman, bender++girlfriend, chinese restaurant, lazy summer day, etc, you should probably listen to some of his tracks🙏🙏

You should watch the Vice documentary about yung lean

hell yea pls react to starz by lean!

Bro you got to do Yung Lean ft Travis Scott - Ghosttown. It’s a sonic experience

ECCO2K next pls

Would love to hear you guys listen through Bon Iver's masterpiece '22, A Million'. It's a genre-less epic listen that completely flew under the radar since most people know him either through his folk pop hit 'skinny love' or through his collab with Taylor Swift. It has a similar jarring eclecticism reminiscent of Frank Ocean's Blonde, and his music writing process shows it, as he writes the music first, and adds the lyrics in last, so the song is built around the song itself.

BENDER ++ GIRLFRIEND !!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the reaction♥, could you react to Yung lean - Hennessy and Sailor Moon and Bladee - Like a virgin

I sent the live Wermland version to my wife recently and she said "he can't sing, I hate it". I was honestly really disappointed but I guess I get it that most people don't understand it.

Yung Lean

Try "Closer" (RM, Paul Blanco, Mahalia)

please do glimpse of us - joji, if u havent already

W reaction

funny that you mentioned blonde, because lean has a cameo on the song self control

How does leans vocals sound so difff in this like unmixed mastered

You guys should listen to Corbins album ghost with skin

the white ferrari similarities is spot on

Spooky black doesn't go by that name anymore he goes by corbin should definitely listen to his recent stuff

highly recommend to check out Ja¥en x District , any song from their album Nevermore ! love your reaction videos !

You gotta do more lean for both of you to hear!

drain gang forever

bro the description

do bon iver: 22 a million next

Everyone needs to see his documentary before they listen to his music to better understand it imo

W

real

S A D B O Y S

Plz react to Until Death Call my Name by youngboy

react to Endless by Frank Ocean plssss

React to more yung lean and react to lil peep

Great Reaction! Please listen to Love by Kid Cudi

Agony is a banger fr, i’d recommend red bottom sky or Boylife in EU (a lil more happy) but i’d also recommend for y’all to listen to jonatanleandoer96 (his alt), more specifically hotel in minsk or never again.

You should react to Bladees music, specially his Spiderr album. Similar to yung leans music

You should react to bladee

has she listened to mac miller’s discography? 😭
