"You Got the Love" is a 1986 single by Candi Staton. It was then remixed by The Source and re-released in 1991 as 'The Source and Candi Staton'. In 2008, the song was covered by English singer and songwriter Joss Stone for her fourth studio album, Colour Me Free!, released in October 2009. In November 2009, another cover version was released as a single by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. Details The original version is a soul/disco/gospel track (released in the UK by Streetwave in 1986) written by Anthony B. Stephens, Arnecia Michelle Harris and John Bellamy. It featured an a cappella version utilised by Paul Simpson for a remix of the Adeva song "Musical Freedom" in 1989. The original Candi Staton track had been recorded for a video-only 1980s documentary about an obese man who was trying to lose weight. When approached by The Source, Candi said she couldn't remember having recorded a song called "You Got the Love". It was only later that she realised she had performed the song years earlier for the documentary. The producers of the video had selected the song for her to sing, but as they had no funds to pay her, they donated half of the copyright and publishing to Candi. The Candi Staton a cappella was originally mixed over an instrumental version of the Frankie Knuckles/Jamie Principle house song "Your Love", (a stripped down version of the 1982 italo-disco track "Feels Good (Carrots and Beets)" by Electra) by Eren Abdullah later. This bootleg release was a recording of Eren mixing the two pieces of vinyl together. This version was mixed in the studio by Eren Abdullah. Another popular remix is the Now Voyager Mix from 1996. This version of the track was used on the series finale of the HBO drama series Sex and the City "An American Girl in Paris: Part Deux". The DJ Eren Original mix reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. It was remixed and re-issued in 1996 (including the Now Voyager mix), this time reaching number 3, the song's highest position, and then re-issued again in 2006 with new mixes by the Shapeshifters among others, reaching number 7. The 2006 mix also featured more lyrics than the first two versions. The Original Bootleg Radio Mix of the track was featured in the film Layer Cake in the club where Sidney talks to the film's protagonist as he looks on at Sidney's girlfriend. The "Now Voyager mix" (released in 1997) of the track was used on the 3rd-season finale of the HBO comedy dramedy series Sex and the City "Cock-a-Doodle-Do". In 2007, Manchester band The Longcut recorded a version as part of their double A-Side release on Melodic Records "Florence and the Machine" version was released 16 November 2009, from the acclaimed album "Lungs". This version of the track was used on the series finale of the CW drama series Gossip Girl "New York, I Love You XOXO".

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying, “Lord I just don't care” But you've got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough And things go wrong no matter what I do Now and then I feel like life is just too much But you've got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying, “Lord I just don't care” But you've got the love I need to see me through
Time after time I say, “oh Lord, what’s the use” Time after time I say, “this just won't do,” but Sooner or later in life the things you love you loose Just like before I know I'll call on you
Occasionally my thoughts are brave and friends are few Occasionally I cry out, “Lord what must I do” Occasionally I call up, “Master make me new” You've got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying, “Lord I just don't care” But you've got the love I need to see me through
You’ve got the love, got the love, got the love (repeat until end)
