"Bless My Soul" is a song from Powderfinger's first "best of" album, Fingerprints: The Best of Powderfinger, 1994-2000. The song was released a promotional single only. Although the album is described as compiling hits from 1994-2000, this song was recorded by the band in 2004 especially for the Fingerprints album.[2]
The song was written whilst the band was holidaying in Spain, according to lead singer Bernard Fanning.[3] Several lyrics of the song refer to Spain and its national flag colours of "red and gold".
The music video for "Bless My Soul" features lead singer Bernard Fanning walking along the rocks on the cliff face of a beach singing the song. The video's colour has been warped with an effect to make everything appear unnatural. These scenes are edited amongst scenes of the band playing the song.
