For the people commenting that he should have vocal lessons: NO. The way he sings is what makes the song so very moving. His voice here is raw and naive at the same time. The song is about going insane, about not knowing what is real and what is not and you can feel the AGONY in his voice. It also has elements that makes you think about being a child and escaping into dream worlds and the imperfect naive delievery in the singing fits this perfectly. Like it could be anyone singing it alone in their room when they’re lonely.
Bro released his song when he was a young boy and in a dark place. Now he’s a grown man (with better mental health🙏🏻🙏🏻) and sings this song purely out from his soul for thousands of people. This is exactly how it should be
What an interesting unique character Yung Lean is. Whilst so many artists are piggybacking on what success happens for others and copying it, this man does his own thing every time. Look at his hair!
Can we just say how cool it is to have Gud on the piano. Like a REAL talented producer FINALLY fucking seeing the success that SO MUCH producers should feel and are neglected and usually overshadowed by the artist using his or her art. This is a perfect example of just straight up beautiful talent finally getting the recognition it deserves. Love you guys
he isnt a great lyricist. his lyrucs have never been multilayered but what his lyrics do have is nostalgia. his strengh is his simplicity imo and relatability to a whole generation. he is indeed a great artist.
@@OloffMusic Thats a very good point. I do like his music however i just dont agree with the notion that he is a great Lyricist/ artist. im old enough to have witnessed truly great artist and composer to know the difference. Your opinion is valid however so kudos to you.
2012-2014 were wild years for rap. From Lil B’s peak to the arrival of Lean/Bones/etc. Nobody back then could have predicted these guys completely changing rap forever.
Miss you my lil bro. Lost your life to a harsh brutal addiction. Yung Lean meant so much to him, I can't keep myself together for a second when I hear this. Crying my eyes out like a baby, my heart is twisting in agony but it's just so beautiful. Love to you all out there. Take care of yourselves
Beautiful version, but my favorite will always be the Back of the truck one during the first wave of pandemic. Unforgettable watching it live for the first time
@@rvbxn04 concert as a whole was meh, but he sung red bottom sky and agony. you could almost not hear him because everyone was singing along but it was still great!"
The orchestra so bummed haha Amazing to see such a clash of aesthetics. Some people work a whole lifetime to achieve technique, yet say nothing. Lean has such a naive sound, yet it has reached the hearts of so many. True art seems artless.
I find that technicians often confuse their ability to play instruments virtuosically with creativity. Lean took the opposite approach, which is more intuitive than what is seen as traditionally musical. Imagine painfully practicing scales and consistency to just be mediocre on the strings and this weird guy is more successful than you will ever be even though his music is discordant to the ear of a classically trained professional.@@willembohlmeijer6464
смотрю это за 4 часа до нового года когда все суетятся, бегают, что-то ищут, куда-то рвутся. а мне так спокойно, спасибо Лин, что ты есть и всегда рядом
So proud of what this artist has become. You can tell he has come a long way in his career, his voice, his performances and his looks. God bless this man
Take a pill and go to sleep I'm chasing witches in the street I'm the last page in your book Can't write a song, only do hooks Watching horses in the fields The dragon rests in agony When I'm afraid, I lose my mind It's fine, it happens all the time When I'm afraid, I lose my mind It's fine, it happens all the time Isolation caved in I adore you The sound of your skin So many lies that I've found Blood, Heaven, I stick to the ground So many times I realized What I seek for is right in front of my eyes I'm alone in a hole in the ground A theater of dogs is still around My furniture has come alive I'm dancing with a candlestick tonight Flying kites, raven outside my window Smiles with fright Isolation caved in I adore you The sound of your skin Isolation caved in I adore you The sound of your skin Isolation caved in I adore you The sound of your skin
it was so beautiful to witness live cuz it's not everyday you get this version of a song where it release with emotions to it's fullest. with child choir, orchestra and Gud playing the piano behind Lean. truly beautiful and unforgettable experience sadboys4ever
Damn. I feel like i watched jonatan leandoer96 take over yung lean. Something really lovely seeing him sing as himself not yung lean. My friend introduced me in 2015 to lean, it's been so wonderful seeing him get the credit he deserves and has earnt. What a great performance:)
I want to talk about how 4 years ago I was going through the darkest period of my life. It was overwhelmingly difficult to cope with the passing of several close people/relatives from my life. I took a lot of pills. I lay on my bed and listened to the agony. And I was just incredibly creepy. Then I was faced with panic attacks and derealization and it seemed to me that this song understood me so much. A lot of war has passed and I am a completely different, much stronger person, and I simply remember that period with respect for myself. But the agony has not stopped and will not stop playing in my headphones constantly. Now I understand its meaning much deeper, and this song is very kind ❤️
'Stranger' is my favourite album, I wholeheartedly believe that this is the album that showed the world his true genius and I'm super glad and happy for Lean performing this album at such huge and professional (chorus/orchestra) concert
he write this album after his mentalhealth care, he understood some things in his head. find peace and propably never ever touch drugs again. i know he want to share his thoughts because he finally open up. i think he wants to show how he matured now, and "wish" everybody by his words in this album u can be happy and creative even if u was in a rabbit hole ur whole life and drugs is not a good choice to solve this problem.
thank you yung lean i went through a very hard period of my life after my best friend passed away and i was alone all by myself with nobody supporting me, i did drugs and alcohol and hated myself so fucking bad. This song made me happy while being alone and accepting of my situation. I love you lean
imagine i was here but left after red bottom sky because i was behind a camera man who had the set list on his screen, and no more yung lean so me n my friends headed to a bar and other friends who stayed called us midway through agony and it was too late to run back. safe to say i drank my pain away that night so much so that when i woke up at 9 i was still drunk, my friend i was staying in a hostel with was gone and we had checkout at 10 and a flight back to london that day. everything turned out okay and i have some funny pictures of me passed out in the snow from the night but i do regret not seeing this live, glad i could watch it here though :)
I heard Yung Lean for the first time at the beginning of a crazy time in my life. It was fun, but sad and empty, too. His music became the soundtrack I lived by. I remember hearing this song for the first time. I was so incredibly numb, and then I finally felt something again. I felt like I could let everything go and finally grieve. I felt real again. Thank you for always being yourself, for your art, for touching my life in so many ways. This was BEAUTIFUL. I am soooooo soo happy that this was recorded live in this way.
Dozing off to this song cooked up a couple years ago was the song I remember when I changed my life around. Still today it makes me break down and cry. And it's a happy cry now. Love you lean. Thanks for saving me sometimes
There are times in life where you just want everything to end. There are other times when you just want to listen to Doing It Stealthy at max volume and call your boss the R-word
