trigger that kind of it's like all of the world awesome like a rescuer i came all the way from russia here and then i waited for a year and a half for his concert and i'm finally in new york we're from australia i've just listened to him non-stop for the last few years when you're depressed all the time you think about suicide or something and it's his music helps to doesn't think about it i live in siberia i came from novosibirsk and i've been saving money for one year i just came to this show i love young lin his music was saving my life he really connects with the fans oh for sure at other shows you know you got like got the artist on stage young living in the crowd but with a young lean show i feel like it's all just one big group you know he feeds off of our energy we feed off his energy you know it's one vibe yeah [Music] absolutely [Music] so many lies that i've found blood heaven i stick to the ground so many times i realized [Music] [Music] [Music] wow [Applause] [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Music] sound [Music] when there's no one left around fine young lean doer [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] okay please [Music] [Music] what's your name boy [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] little well it doesn't beats [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] makes them [Music] [Music] [Music] i remember the first time i heard lean and he was probably one of his first videos a friend of mine uh showed it to me and she and i were just like wow this is completely insane he goes mackavelly [Music] he was definitely like a weird curiosity for me and i think for a lot of people when he first started i didn't know what to think i didn't know whether like he was a parody rapper i didn't know whether he was like kind of being serious he looked really young and you know who is this person from sweden making a video it's like kind of exploring american hip-hop tropes ginseng strip this is the type of video that he just put it online and it was like a sensation yeah i think for me it was just like unexpected so you're the boy from sweden that a lot of people are buzzing about um do you want to talk about where you're from and what effect that has on your music i'm from stockholm in sweden and i don't think it has any effect on my music at all no no i don't think so i'm not sure just me i don't know makes it more sad i guess yeah sad country do you want to talk about your clique the emotional voice yeah sad voice [Music] it's me young dude and young sherman and we're all from sweden ages 16 to 18. the wrapping was really really simple very modotone almost felt it almost felt kind of empty with the whole song really kind of depressing or had this weird undercurrent of sadness to it um a lot of you know subjects of uh drug use and uh depression juxtaposed with this like talk about commercial objects [Music] what was weird was they were taking the most generic aspects of american culture like gatorade and arizona iced tea and fixating on those things so things that for me i can leave my apartment and go by and it's the most boring thing i would never sing about it i couldn't tell if it was like a commentary on society or uh something else i don't know [Music] manga [Music] videos my is [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] so [Music] [Music] you may not know or recognize michelle outright but you know of his work some of his legal and musical clients have included ozzy osbourne and phil collins my goal is to live and keep creating my goal is to encourage people to create you live in a world where they don't want you to create they want to perpetuate what is if you don't create you're not alive you're a zombie let me tell you the most interesting time i had here was when ozzy osbourne peed on the alamo which he didn't he peed across the street from the elmo and i had to make sure he wasn't thrown out of the united states for being an absolute it was the first time i ever pulled in political clout my friend was nancy reagan when ronald reagan was president and we got it done i got into music because my dad was into it so i was partners with my dad for a few years and then he died and he shouldn't have died and then i started making movies in la i did a lot of music i i produced more music than anyone i worked with peter gabriel i worked with genesis i put out music i really liked something that drew me to the sad boys and young lean was their affiliation with baron machad from hippos and tanks welcome to hippos and tanks this is burn and uh we just got we just got here and um so i'm living in england and my son's here in l.a and i'm in london and i said what do you want to do so he says i want a record label i go okay done what do you want he says i want hippos and tanks to be the label done i said and now what bands do you want they were such a prestigious electronic label they had all this experimental music they were very they're like avant-garde like nerdy stuff basically you are not only at the store it was kind of about embracing the commercial music marketplace but with this very very strange work that was almost performance art in some cases like dean blunt and james ferraro october 2013 baron went to sweden stockholm with james ferraro who was doing the show [Music] basically and james ferraro introduced baron he says yeah this band's bothering me and they gave him the music they gave him a kyoto baron had stolen nothing extra alexander coming director to to have a room i think some more very and so baron met me in england later in that month he says i found something really cool i said baron if you like him sign him so what happened was in the end of may he gets a phone call they want to sign with us run by some a little creep i really dislike this guy emilio you know and i'll get to why then you know he's just he's sneaky but at that moment he's calling me so they said to me they need to get into the united states because they have a show in new york on july 9th i think it was at the webster hall [Applause] [Music] you [Applause] [Music] okay i called up the website and they sold it out on that wednesday show and they gave them a second show like there's something going on here it was really remarkable to see how many people came to the show and there was arizona iced tea given out at the show all the fans were excited and then also a lot of media [Music] baron came to the fader office with the sad boys compared to how he was the other times i had met him he seemed very debonair and um was dressed all in white and had like a giant e-cigarette that he was smoking the entire time and he seemed happy and calm it felt like he had really found the artist he wanted to work with he really was a huge huge part for making lean happen in america [Music] be this where are we at right now i have no idea we're supposed to go to san francisco [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] get the welcome to thank you for british columbia canada thank you and jammu you're trying to sing happy birthday in swedish because it's your 80th birthday happy birthday [Music] [Music] [Music] crystal clear [Applause] [Music]

kick your ass if i see that again you know and they promised me he wouldn't do any more of it this was in march and then i get these calls that lean wants to go drop some acid in disney i'm like baron uh-uh no [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] i think this is what my life is about i think this is this is why i was born [Applause] [Applause] [Music] i saw energy i saw something that could attract people i so badly wanted my son to have a hit that every day i blame myself because i didn't realize how dark that energy was these are not good boys [Music] [Applause] [Music] snapped [Music] trying to tell me something i don't listen i don't pay attention to these children [Music] if i remember correctly lean was coming off of a us tour that sort of ended in miami the machad family like owned property down there which was like a good place for them to crash they could just stay in this condo and they got looped in with a studio that was in miami according to stephen stephen was paying for all the studio time but when they said why don't we put out a mixtape in a studio album i'm like are you kidding me what m like um um uh [Music] so it sounds like when music was taken out of the equation that that's when things like went too far switch blade in my head make you fall back flat on the ground make you fall flat rainbow dreamland take you far back i'm up in the mountains with the stars man i'm in the jungle flying around like tarzan san next man i'm gone being gone from the start man road warrior i do carjack suicide during my whip what you call that it's too late for me to crawl back stay late i mean there's a video where lean's sitting on my patio and he's throwing the disc out of the patio i lived in the 16th floor and he said that he couldn't sleep like he was just up 24 hours a day and during the night he would go out onto the balcony and write this book on his phone and the book was like a horror i remember he told me about like a rat that there was a rat in the book and how he related to that because of the chinese zodiac like he was born in the year of the rat or some stupid thing like that and told me that he had showed baron what he had done in this book and baron was like you shouldn't do that like this is you're going too far into whatever this like darkness is that night something went wrong the ancestor lean was freaking flipping out started cutting himself throwing blood all over my apartment lean loses control in a bigger way than he had before the police came the miami beach police he gets put away in this psychic ward for going nuts [Music] [Music] [Music] should have never gotten in that car you know you get so up well what are friends there for and why didn't they take uber [Applause] somehow those two groups like not being in the same place ultimately is what leads to the accident they should have never let my son out of that apartment they should have never given him the keys to the car good morning to you south florida yeah it's definitely been a sad day out on the roads what you're taking a look at right now some live picture of this accident that happened roughly around an hour and a half two hours ago this is lejeune road at northwest 36. i found that my son was dead april 8th that morning it was the weirdest thing i've ever experienced in my life it was surreal it is a deadly accident we know that that card just sped right into that hole and let's take you above right now chopper six over the scene so we can see a little bit of what's going on i'm like mad at lean yeah he didn't need to do that but he's a kid did he cause baron's death yeah did he kill baron no baron got caught up in the storm he caused it did amelia cause it yeah i blame myself i caused it i was not aware you know it's it's a sad story and people need to know the story [Music] after what happened in miami it changed everything um [Music] [Music] [Music] my foreign foreign foreign [Music] my [Music] rat foreign [Music] team uh so you feel like you're with him you know you've gone through like similar it's more than music it's a cause he saves my life every day i listen to him it saves me like literally he was telling me i've done my rap stuff i proved it and like now i'm just going to keep making art in whichever way i want there was an eleventh up on me it's not gonna be sick and then i had [Music] perfume [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] um foreign [Music] be so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] my heart lord is i've suffered through too much again never [Music] again [Music] yes [Music] [Applause] oh [Applause] now [Applause] yes [Music] [Music] is [Music] my [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Applause] uh [Applause] [Music] i took off in the spaceship went straight up landed on the moon and just checked it [Applause] out [Applause] we also stopped [Music] that's [Music] [Music] baby [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] get another foreign um my [Music] please [Music] is [Music] ice [Music] [Music] [Music] but i'm still [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] i keep [Music] [Music] is [Music] stand up foley they stand somewhere [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] okay [Music] foreign um [Music] 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 his transformation is really kind of showing that he really wants to be seen as someone that really tried to tell a story and uplift people in in his own way and at 21 he's finally kind of starting to come in into his own comments his own understanding and his development as a [Music] person when you can tell that he's talking about himself and for i think people like us who've followed maybe some of his personal life we know some of the things he's referencing and it can be really impressive on a song like agony so many lies that i 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 ducks is still around my furniture's come alive i'm dancing with a candlestick tonight [Music] your skin [Music] is [Music] [Music] better [Music] also hello people feel that they've tapped into some larger community because of being into his work he's going to resonate with a lot of people in so many different ways this music this kind of sense of style and it's also his kind of yeah who he is as a young person and kind of how he resonates with young people and i think that's how he's been able to connect with them as well it's not just on a music level but it's on a kind of fashion level on a kind of aesthetic level and obviously it's on a personal level as well it's like kind of how he talks about himself and how he sees himself and that kind of young kind of teenage angst in a way just their own kind of insecurities and trying to find their way in the world like kind of with kind of the government that we have and all sorts [Music] [Music] [Music] be [Music] [Music] is right [Music] [Music] i think the development of him has definitely kind of coincided with his development as a person and who he is and i think having that kind of down period resonated with who he was as a person how you just kind of coming of age and just trying to find your place in the world in the industry as well which is very tough [Music] man's [Music] [Music] [Music] i hear your voice action hello [Applause] [Music] hey [Music] say to stay on this sinking ship along i can give it away every day [Music] it's not blessed that scares [Music] what me great future this is going to be i used to think it was [Music] is [Music] [Music] oh all right have a good night [Music] [Applause] eclipse [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the fears [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] here is [Applause] is [Applause] [Music] me you say that you love me [Music] [Music] is you i can be your savior everything that we've been through [Music] so today coming in from stockholm sweden is henrik berman the director of young lean in my head hey man cheers cheers how are you hold on let me do this properly um you've worked with a lot of artists and hip-hop artists tyler the creator asap rocky and others what was it like working with lean compared to some of these other guys this was totally something else because it's been going on for almost four years because everything that he went through in in miami and everything what happened we we took it really slow from the beginning a lot of coffee a lot of talking and then we started to film and then after a while he came up with all this this archive all the all the stuff that he filmed it was really important that we got to know each other to tell the story when he was a 16 year old and putting out you know these videos and he became a phenomenon were you like surprised that this kind of nerdy kid i mean i guess from stockholm is like blowing up like yeah i was yeah surprise is a good word it felt weird but at the same time we had other bands like the tough alliance [Music] or jj the kind of made it in the u.s at the same time i felt that hope that this is not just a thing at the moment hope this can keep on growing because i didn't know what to think when i saw it first time right it's like is this for real is this a joke yeah or is it oh yeah i i really liked it what really struck me was the footage of the fans at the shows you feel like you're with him you know you've gone through like similar these kids who traveled from siberia and all these places and waited for in new york for a year to see the show and how these boys and girls were talking about how this music saved their lives and how he captured this alienation and misunderstanding that they all are are feeling in this angst and that really just i thought was incredibly profound and powerful i didn't know i didn't i also felt very old at that point i'm like oh man like i'm just like i'm like i'm two two generations removed from what's really going on now so it was more than just he's blowing up because people like his beats and it was like connecting with youth on a global level via the internet in a massive way but i think that that's how he creates worlds i guess than shooting them out into space and people can just walk into that world and you got everything all set by young lean and you can feel safe in there he was just 15 and he's sitting in his room creating like this whole new universe that that is what's so special about him how people connect with him after watching the film and seeing that footage it forced me to go back to his music and listen much more closely to what he was actually seeing about see what is there and to understand the kind of depth of it and i don't know if it's the mental illness or the the drugs or whatever it is but the same way that daniel johnston's music can affect me young lean does as well with certain songs when you can tell that he's talking about himself and for i think people like us who've followed maybe some of his personal life we know some of the things he's referencing and it can be really impressive on a song like agony so many [Music] stick to lies ground so many times i realized what i seek for is right in front of my eyes i thought that was like a parallel i just did not see coming that's so cool how did you get involved with the other members of the sad boys and getting baron's father involved in the film steven mcshot first of all it was lean and then i started to talk with of course the other guys sad boys and drain gang they also gave me a lot of stuff that they had filmed and after that i was talking to i called steven i was like okay we're doing we're telling this story it involves baron what happened in miami do you want to tell your part of the story and he was like hell yeah come to miami so yeah it was that easy no pushback no pushback i think he would he was actually he was kind of ready to tell his part of the story so i flew to miami we had a first interview and then maybe half year later i went back to film some more was that part difficult for you and for stephen talking about his son barron's death yeah that part has been that part has been difficult for all of us i guess especially for steven of course and for the guys here who went through all that a lot of emotions during that process and during that filming baron should have never gotten in that car you know you get so up well what are friends there for and why didn't they take uber i mean i understand what stephen is saying there because he's a father who's lost his son and oh yeah and he's feeling the feelings of anger and resentment whatever it is but at the same time when you show what was actually going on in that apartment in miami they were all out of their minds like there's like nobody was going to be like baron you can't take the keys to your car to go run this errand i think it was like super dark at that point right did steven get that i think so he also says after this i was a part of it got caught up in the storm and he's as you said a father he lost his son at that time when we were filming this a few years ago now it's five years since it happened almost yeah five five and a half a lot of what do you call it grieving and yeah he he takes some responsibility he says the greatest regret of his life was i think encouraging his son to go after young lean as an artist to sign to his label right and to finance that whole thing but he's also honest about it and saying like i saw an opportunity to make money here yeah i could make money out of these kids yeah it's honest yeah for me it was important to that's for steven to tell his part of the story yeah the other guys they tell their story their part of the story is there any contact between these two between stephen and these guys or no i i don't think so they got into a lawsuit about money i'm not really sure where they are now but they're not on on speaking terms and that story did not end well in any way that's a sad story you know i see this film as a cautionary tale right when like so much success comes to these kids who weren't really ready for it so fast they were just on this rocket ship with no supervision and out of control and you know how mac miller or little peep that end could have very easily happened to any one of the sad boys the structure of this film how did you how did you decide that lean should come into the film later i wanted the first part to be as crazy as his life was during the first years i really wanted the viewer to to feel how it was to be in their situation to be on tour in the u.s with all that that was going on and all everything that happened i also wanted a viewer to kind of get a feeling of how lean felt during this period and hear other people tell the story i think that was a way to make that happen you can feel more with him in the second part when we heard about him in the first part in this kind of way so how challenging was it for you to visually depict psychosis and mental illness and why did you choose animation it all started with that jonathan started to send me pictures of drawings paintings he had made and i loved them immediately when he sent these things to me i started to try to animate them try to find a style and then i showed jonathan and he loved it so i felt like okay this is the way to tell how his mind works this is when we're getting into his head i love these parts i think they're so nice and he's so talented [Music] so tell me about your your cinematic influences i read that the devlin daniel johnston was one of them my name is daniel johnson this is the name of my tape it's hi how are you and i i was having a nervous breakdown when i recorded it try to remember did that give you ideas on how to deal with the mental illness part of the story daniel johnston that film is amazing and it's one of jonathan's favorite documentaries and it's one of my favorite documentaries and the first time we met i i just mentioned it i was like this is a great documentary you should watch that and he's like i love that that is how our documentary should be i felt that okay i could honor this film to work with with his his uh other artwork also you know the the nirvana documentary montage of heck a lot of inspiration from their films of course so when i found out that jonathan he's such a great artist and he's painting and his his drawings are so good when i found out i was like okay let's use this in some kind of way in this film why was it important for you to show substance abuse and mental illness in such an intimate way i think in music documentaries you're always talking about it yeah it was a really rough tour and it was really hard tour and we did a lot of drugs and this happened and that happened for me it was important to not romanticize that right i really wanted to show okay this is how it was this is how it is now and this is what happened in between and that's what makes this story great i think and what kind of reaction did you get at the the premiere of the film in stockholm great the fans loved it i'm so happy for that so that was a relief i mean i was i was really nervous has anybody been critical of it of the film and what have they had to say it's been a lot of media in sweden about this film and a lot of reviews i would say that 80 is very positive about this film someone said like it's too close they said it's too it's too close yeah it's too close it's too much you're getting too close to the drugs to the illness to the darkness that's a load of i mean i think the the key to making anything good is getting as close as you possibly can yeah that's been our goal since day one who filmed the majority of the the archival footage that we see it's echo 2k from drain gang zak he's the man behind a lot of the lean look the record sleeves the footage and all that he's been making a lot of music videos as well for lean so he's the main guy behind all this material you gotta get some crystal before we leave it for yourself crystal meth yeah right that's not good there's footage of the guys engaging in illegal activities were they uncomfortable showing that and did you have to convince them of that they gave me all these films all this material and when i showed them the film when i show them all these clips in a context i think they were like okay this is good did you have to be kind of extra sensitive when talking about addiction and mental health issues that it could bring up old traumas or especially with barron's death that they were suffering from some form of ptsd from all this and revisiting this time of their lives i think that's why it took me so long to make it because i had to be careful and take it like really really slowly step by step and i really had to learn to know these guys of course [Applause] [Music] they don't really look like they're having that much fun i mean that's life on the road right but like at that stage there's like it's a tipping point where they've gone to the definitely a tipping point right yeah yeah oh yeah but you're definitely with them in that tour bus yeah has has young lean's background of being this kind of like privileged kid from sweden affected his perception by the general public who is where he's from is definitely a part of this story i think it's it's very easy to apply that criticism until you see how he's connecting with his peer group around the world how he's having such a big influence on their lives that these kids like he saved my life that you're like okay it doesn't matter like he's cutting through all that you know there's something very real there it's my nature or people's nature to just like have your initial perception of it and it takes time to kind of peel the layers off the onion and to to get a true understanding oh yeah definitely and i think i i walked into this film with that as well and that's why i was so interested in having this conversation including your film as part of the show because i walked into my house yeah with my own misperceptions about who he was or what the story was so you dispelled that being in the spotlight especially at a young age can be really hard on the mental health of the artist is there more that the music industry could be doing to protect the artist's well-being in your opinion yeah yeah definitely and hopefully that is a thing that is coming more and more because since the music industry has changed so much during the last decade i think even the managements the record labels also needs needs to change a lot and i think they need to work closer to their artists but this is another thing that's captured in the film is that people were aware that it was out of control that they are teenagers they're not even adults they're like consuming a lot of drugs but they're making money and like let's ride this and cash in while we can at the expense of people's lives and their mental health so is the industry really going to change you know i think it's up to the the management teams around the artist to protect them but then the management teams are like well i'm i'm making so much money right now jungling is now working with his record label they're working really close it's emilio and it's oscar they're doing it really really you know slow working tight with jonathan they're talking a lot and they are working in such a modern way i think they get into that in the film which is that he needs to pace himself and go slower if he does too many shows he'll go dark again [Music] was the young lean character a way for a nerdy teenage boy to be something that he wasn't and now he's finally becoming a person as he's older in his early 20s yeah i think so i mean he was just 15 when he he kind of created young lean i was reading the vice or the noisy interviews with him from that are over five years old or six years old and he's talking about like yeah we got hoes we got hoes and he loves 50 cent get rich or die trying like okay you're a 15 year old kid in stockholm venerable hip hop magazine xxl nominates him as newcomer of the year why should people care about young lean i'm the so it was like an alter ego right yeah and he was playing a lot yeah that i mean it was also for real it was the music and the art is for real i think but he was also this alter ego thing and was playing a lot with that for them they're probably like this was never supposed to be something more than us making beats in the bedroom and having fun and releasing something for our friends and it's like that is exactly what they what they are saying i wonder where they would be today if it hadn't blown up what they would be doing would he like going to engineering school it's so weird how they all got together it's like they found each other and they just started to make music together and it all happened it happened so fast but do you think that after being in the hospital and being institutionalized and and getting better and getting medication that it has affected his creativity as in was the art better when he was crazier i i think stranger is my absolute favorite album that's where he started to talk more about himself to be more personal that's the album where young lean and jonathan kind of grew into one person i think so for me no [Music] what's important about his story is the recovery and redemption part of the story as well right now there are just so many stories about young artists musicians hip-hop artists dying early and with mental health issues that affect young people in japan us sweden it's increasing all the time is there a message that you're trying to communicate through the film about mental health and addiction i hope that people can watch this and maybe see it as a helping hand in some kind of way that would be beautiful and who do you expect the audience for this film to be obviously the fans do you think it'll go beyond that yeah i hope so that's why i wanted this film to start the film festivals but since corona came in that never happened so now we're finding other ways what's next for you are you going to continue to make music documentaries or are you going to venture into something else have you thought about it i'm doing a lot of research right now maybe found a story and that's about music surprise [Laughter] right now i just wanna you know enjoy this trip with this film it's always hard to make film i think that's what i learned and it's so much about keeping in contact with with the persons that you're filming i think you should show them that you're there even if you're not filming [Music] you feel like you're with him you know you've gone through like similar [Music] it's more than music it's a cause he saves my life every day i listen to him it saves me like literally what is the overall impact you'd like this film to have with audiences someone said this is a film about friendship i really like that someone said it's a film about creativity i really like that too but it's very much a story about life to see how jonathan as a person develops in this story and at the same time see young lean develop an artist develop i think that is beautiful and i hope people really can see and feel that when they see this film well congratulations again it must be very gratifying for you to have spent so many years of your life on this your first documentary and to have it turn into an incredibly compelling film that's more than your traditional music documentary so kudos to you thank you thank you so much yeah it's our pleasure and let's stay in touch thanks a lot for your time man appreciate it thank you [Music] what [Music] me [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] oh [Music] [Music] i chose [Music] morbid as some of my friends [Music] i don't want to share you with the [Music] you make my most work [Music] is [Music] but i would [Music] but i would her [Music] if it was a ccsabc i wish love me just for me [Music] yes [Music] [Music] still have [Music] [Applause] [Music] together we can make it all right

[u/qhac]

[u/hetzjagd]

For anyone wondering, this is the same documentary that was released recently titled In My Head

i've seen some this tour footage from that other deleted fader/vice documentary but this was way more telling and intimate. That scene when Gud was really fucked was kinda scary honestly. This is also the most I have seen Bladee talk and it was really refreshing.
