"Bless My Soul" is a song from Powderfinger's first "best of" album, . 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".
In Australia, the song was ranked #9 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.
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.
