I’m interpreting ‘You’ve Got The Love’ by Florence + the Machine my way, with ‘Lord’ standing for Lord Buddha, and even Amitabha Buddha (Amituofo). Electric ‘spiritual’ beginning to the song at the concert in the video above! In a way, the ‘You’ sung about can refer to yourself, your own Buddha-nature, which ‘got the love’ of loving-kindness and compassion for yourself too. In Pure Land practice, our ‘saviour’ is both the self-power of oneself and the other-power of Amituofo combined. The below video is the original song by The Source (featuring Candi Staton), with ‘Lord’ perhaps featured the more culturally Western godly or angelic way. (You can see the official F+TM video at\u00a0http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?NR=1&v=X04JxFrIRjA<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
\nI know I can count on you<\/span>
\nSometimes I feel like saying “Lord I just don’t care”
\nBut you’ve got the love I need to see me through<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
\nAnd things go wrong no matter what I do
\nNow and then it seems that life is just too much
\nBut you’ve got the love I need to see me through<\/p>\n

When food is gone you are my daily need
\nWhen friends are gone I know my savior’s love is real<\/span>
\nYou know it’s real<\/span><\/p>\n

You got the love<\/span>
\nYou got the love
\nYou got the love
\nYou got the love
\nYou got the love
\nYou got the love<\/p>\n

Time after time I think “Oh Lord what’s the use?”
\nTime after time I think it’s just no good
\nSooner or later in life, the things you love you lose<\/span>
\nBut you’ve got the love I need to see me through<\/span><\/p>\n
