"'You'" is a song by American rock band Candlebox and the second single from their eponymous debut album. It is one of the band's most well known songs, peaking at #78 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100. It also reached #6 on the 'Billboard' Album Rock Tracks charts, respectively. "You" was included on 'The Best of Candlebox' in 2006. It was also featured in the 1996 film 'Foxfire' and appears on its soundtrack album.

Background



Lead singer Kevin Martin said, "I had stolen money from my parents to buy drugs and I had a real problem when I was in high school. On my 18th birthday I went to see Midnight Oil and Peter Garrett just floored me as a frontman. I woke up the next morning and said, 'That's it,' and I quit. I paid my parents back and I haven't done drugs since. Well, I don't consider mushrooms and anything that's organic or natural to be a drug. So I still smoke pot every now and then. So that song's really about just saying goodbye to that dependency."

Music video



There are two versions to the "You" video. One was directed by Samuel Bayer and shows a live performance of the band in a studio with various dark imagery. This is the studio version of the song. The second version is a live performance cut into a music video format. It is very similar to Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" video. The audio is noticeably heavier as are Kevin Martin's vocals.
