This same line-up also recorded the next release, the EP "Scanner part 1 & 2" in 1981. After this line-up changes were afoot, with Weber and Grosskopf leaving; leaving the duo of Hanten and Meskes - and this duo would be the only permanent mebers of this project further on. In 1982 they hit the studio again, to make their second full-length album. Former member Weber made a guest appearance on this venture along with Helmut Brüker; and the finalized result was issued in June 1983, named "Time Code". In December 1983 Hanten and Meskes hit the studio again; this time without guest musicians. Two months later their third album was completed, and was issued in the first half of 1984 as "Wonders From the Genetic Factory.
Late in 1985 You started recording what was to be their last album in this first phase of their existence. Featuring guest appearances from Jaime Zenamon and Klaus Gertken. "Laserscape" was made availble to the general public in April 1986.
Following this release Hanten and Meskes hooked up with former member Grosskopf to form the project "Central Europe Performance"; an outfit concentrating on live performances. In the just over 20 years this still existing project many musicians have been involved; with Hanten and Meskes as the core foundation of the outfit. 1995 saw a new addition to the discography of You, with the release of the multimedia production "00:1996:00", and the following year the 5 CD box compilation "Era" saw the light of day.
In 2000 You chose to change moniker, and opted for the use of Yourovion; and releases a fair number of albums of various kinds under that name. In April 2009 Hanten and Meskes announced that they would return to their former moniker You, and that they'll herald the 30th anniversary of their debut album with a limited edition CD package names "The Electric Box".

You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking back, I can't always say the same thing
Yea there were times I didn't think I'd make 22
I've thought about the end if I'm gonna tell the truth
The plans I had didn't turn out like I would've thought
But now I take the time to count the blessings that I've got
Have a future that I'm finally looking forward to
Checking off a list of goals and things I wanna do
It's coming up dandelions
Between the cracks in the concrete
What if I tell you I am fine and
Leave out the part where I don't eat
I'm getting better or at least I'm trying
And that's really taking all of me
But It's coming up dandelions
So at least I'm growing, growing
(Growing, growing)
No I can't go back to how it used to be
Looking at how far I've come is overwhelming
It's weird to see the path of the last few years
How I've worked through the pain and the change and the tears
And I wouldn't change a thing even if I could
I'm holding on tight to the things that are good
It's coming up dandelions
Between the cracks in the concrete
What if I tell you I am fine and
Leave out the part where I don't eat
I'm getting better or at least I'm trying
And that's really taking all of me
But It's coming up dandelions
So at least I'm growing, growing
(Growing, growing)
Plant my garden, sink my roots
Dig so deep that you'll see it too
Be so proud of the life I've made
Coming up Dandelions, brand new days
Appreciate all of my garden view
Things I have planted have finally grown through
Couldn't have done it without all the rain
Coming up dandelions saved my days
It's coming up dandelions
Between the cracks in the concrete
What if I tell you I am fine and
Leave out the part where I don't eat
I'm getting better or at least I'm trying
And that's really taking all of me
But It's coming up dandelions
At least I'm growing, growing
(Growing, growing)
