"You" is the opening song on Pablo Honey by Radiohead. it is notable for being an early favorite among Radiohead fans, and was last played in 2002. It is one of the only songs from Pablo Honey which has been played live since 1998. "You" first appeared on Radiohead's Manic Hedgehog demo, and was later included on the Drill EP.

[edit] Musical structure

The song is unusual in that its time signature contains three measures in 6/8 followed by one measure in 5/8, giving it an unusual feel, a technique which Radiohead would later explore further on Kid A and Amnesiac. The lyrics reveal that it is an obssesive love song.
