You Girl

The story behind

America recorded You Girl in 1982, as part of their album View From the Ground. It was a song that gave them a little airplay in the United States, although it wasn't a major hit. The song stayed in the top 40 of the single charts, and spent more time on the charts than any other single by the band. The lyrics talk about a girl who feels lonely, looking for company, and spending her time looking out the window as if waiting for someone. The lead vocals are soft, with a touch of nostalgia, and the guitar accompanies with a calm rhythm. It's a song that can be played at home, without the need for much show, but it has a special moment, as if you're listening to a story of someone who is a little lost.
