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.[1][2][3]
