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 ↴
A little old man walked alone
Shuffing through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer's come and gone
He had a long long midnight ahead waiting for June
The among the leaves near an orphan's home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And as he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
And the words burned inside him like a brand
Whoever finds this I love you
Whoever finds this I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So whoever finds this I love you
And the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they'd spend the winter
Laughing at the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
Talking through the fence
Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other
The old man wold carve toys
And the little girl would draw pictures for
Beautiful ladies for hand
And they laughed a lot
But then one day on the first of June
The lttle girl ran to the fence and the old man wasn't there
And somehow she knew he was never coming back
So she went back to her little room took a crayon alone
Whoever finds this I love you
Whoever finds this I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So whoever finds this I love you
So whoever finds this I love you
The lyrics of "Find U" by You tell a poignant story of connection and love found in unexpected places. It begins by describing a quiet street in the city, where a lonely old man walks alone. As he shuffles through the autumn afternoon, he is reminded of the passing of time and another summer gone. The old man knows he has a long, lonely midnight ahead until June arrives.
As he walks near an orphan's home, the man notices a piece of paper caught among the leaves. Curiosity gets the better of him, and he picks it up with trembling hands. The words written on the paper, in a child's handwriting, move him to tears. The author of the note expresses a deep longing for love and connection, highlighting their loneliness and the desperate need for someone to talk to.
The old man's search for the author of the note leads him to a little girl with her nose pressed against the windowpane of the orphan's home. Upon seeing each other, they instantly recognize the potential for friendship and companionship. They spend the winter together, finding solace in each other's company and laughing at the rain. The old man carves toys for the girl, and she reciprocates by drawing pictures for him.
However, the spring brings an unexpected turn. When the little girl runs to the fence, anticipating the old man's presence, she finds him gone. Deep down, she knows he will never return. Feeling the pain of loss, she goes back to her room and uses a crayon to leave a message of love for whoever may find it in the future.
In summary, "Find U" explores the themes of loneliness, connection, and the profound impact a chance encounter can have on our lives. It reminds us that love and companionship can be found in unexpected places, and the pain of loss can be deeply felt.

On the quiet street in the city
In a peaceful part of the city, away from the noise and chaos
A little old man walked alone
A frail elderly man strolled by himself
Shuffing through the autumn afternoon
Moving slowly and without much energy on a fall day
And the autumn leaves reminded him
The colorful leaves served as a reminder for him
Another summer's come and gone
Yet another summer has passed by
He had a long long midnight ahead waiting for June
He faced a lonely and seemingly endless night, eagerly waiting for June to arrive
The among the leaves near an orphan's home
Among the fallen leaves close to an orphanage
A piece of paper caught his eyes
He noticed a paper that caught his attention
And he stood to pick it up with trembling hands
With shaky hands, he decided to seize the paper
And as he read the childish writing
As he read the innocent words written on it
The old man began to cry
Tears started flowing down the old man's face
And the words burned inside him like a brand
The words deeply impacted him, leaving a lasting mark on his heart
Whoever finds this I love you
To anyone who discovers this note, know that I love you
Whoever finds this I need you
Whoever comes across this message, understand that I need you
I even got no one to talk to
I don't even have anyone to talk to
So whoever finds this I love you
Therefore, to the person who finds this, please know that I love you
And the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
The old man's gaze scanned the surroundings of the orphanage
And came to rest upon a child
His eyes settled on a particular child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
She stood by the window, her nose touching the glass
And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last
Finally, the old man realized that he had discovered a genuine friend
So he waved at her and smiled
He greeted her with a wave and a smile
And they both knew they'd spend the winter
Both of them understood that they would spend the winter together
Laughing at the rain
Finding joy and amusement in the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
As expected, they passed the winter season happily, finding amusement in the rain
Talking through the fence
Engaging in conversations while being separated by a fence
Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other
Sharing small presents they had created specifically for one another
The old man wold carve toys
The old man would skillfully carve toys
And the little girl would draw pictures for
The young girl would draw pictures as gifts
Beautiful ladies for hand
Creating elegant female figures in her drawings
And they laughed a lot
The two of them laughed often
But then one day on the first of June
However, on a specific day, the first of June
The lttle girl ran to the fence and the old man wasn't there
The little girl hurried to the fence, but the old man was nowhere to be seen
And somehow she knew he was never coming back
Instinctively, she understood that he would never return
So she went back to her little room took a crayon alone
Feeling alone, she returned to her small room and grabbed a crayon
Whoever finds this I love you
To whoever discovers this message, know that I love you
Whoever finds this I need you
To the person who comes across this, understand that I need you
I even got no one to talk to
I don't have anyone to talk to at all
So whoever finds this I love you
Therefore, to the one who finds this, please know that I love you
So whoever finds this I love you
Therefore, to the one who finds this, please know that I love you
