The song's success was partly due to its use in an advertising campaign for the Belgian mobile phone operator Mobistar. "You and Me" was released as a single in 2008 and became an international hit, reaching the top 10 in several countries including Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Additionally, the catchy melody and sing-along chorus create a contrast with the lyrics' content, making the overall effect of the song more complex and thought-provoking. The use of absurdity and irony makes the lyrics more entertaining and memorable. It's worth noting that the song has a lighthearted, humorous tone despite its somewhat dark subject matter. The imagery of animals (cats and birds) and fictional beings (mermaids) further emphasizes the unattainable nature of the singer's desires. The singer wants someone who is different, unusual, and perfect in his eyes, but these desires are ultimately impossible to fulfill. Overall, the lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the unrealistic expectations that people have for relationships. The chorus repeats the desire for a relationship that is "only you and me." The third verse is increasingly implausible, with the singer wishing for a partner who is bigger, feathered, slower, paralyzed, or tiny enough to fit in his pocket.
The second verse describes the singer's desire for a mermaid (a fictional being), whom he could raise in his bathtub and take on day trips to the bay. The first verse suggests that the singer wants something different from the usual romance, such as a partner who smells bad, yet would never stray. Even the big critic will have to admit that Milow once again has a very strong asset with this album.The lyrics of Milow's song "You and Me" express a yearning for a perfect relationship that may not be practical or even possible. You And Me (In My Pocket) has a bouncy melody that simply settles into your head. In addition to daring, Vandenbroeck also shows craftsmanship at North And South. The candid opening song Son is a nice tribute: 'The hardest part was growing up your son.' A bold phrase that enhances the impact of the song. The CD is dedicated to his late father Ivo Vandenbroeck.
Now there is finally the third full-length album by the Flemish with North And South. Later, the live snack Maybe Next Year (2009) was also released. His record company hastily released a compilation album to meet the demand for the singer's new work. In the Netherlands, Vandenbroeck alias Milow had a big hit with the single You Don't Know (2006) and took first place with the 50 Cent cover Ayo Technology (2008). The singer / songwriter Jonathan Vandenbroeck is a hero in his home country Belgium and can also break a lot in the rest of Europe.
