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 ↴
Home far away from home are the tears of a small child
Home far away from home is the pain that I'm caring everywhere
Home far away from home is the place where I'm alone
Home far away from home is your broken smile and rough hands
Home far away from home are the wounds deep in my skin
Home far away from home are the words that cut like a knife
Home far away from home is the prison to my brain
Home far away from home are the chances that you never take
Home far away from home is the dream that fades away
Home far away from home is never holding your hand
Again!
In YÖU's song "Saudade," the lyrics convey a sense of longing and yearning for a place that feels like home but is far away. The theme of distance, both physical and emotional, is prevalent throughout the song. The lyrics capture the raw emotions of missing someone or something dearly, and in this case, it seems to be a person who is no longer present.
The first verse speaks of how being far away from home is not something desired, as it brings forth sadness. The reference to tears of a small child implies a deep emotional pain that is hard to bear. The pain is further emphasized as something carried everywhere, suggesting a constant reminder of the absence and longing for home. The fourth line expresses a poignant sentiment that being far away from home is when one feels the most alone.
The second verse touches upon the physical and emotional wounds caused by the absence. The broken smile and rough hands could symbolize the absence of warmth and affection. The wounds deep in the skin indicate a profound emotional pain that manifests physically. The lyrics also refer to words that cut like a knife, emphasizing the hurt caused by the separation. The chorus once again emphasizes that feeling of being far away from home is experienced whenever the person is absent.
The bridge of the song adds another layer to the emotions expressed. It portrays being far away from home as a prison to the mind, suggesting a state of constant longing and confinement. The chances that are never taken may represent missed opportunities or moments that could have brought solace or happiness. The dream fading away indicates the loss of hope or aspirations. The final line of the bridge emphasizes the desire for physical closeness, the longing to hold hands once more.
Overall, "Saudade" is a heartfelt expression of longing, pain, and loneliness experienced when the place or person that feels like home is far away or no longer present.
