| I always thought it was "Its just meaningless bullshit that promises all better view" that always made more sense to me. | |

| strange no one has really gone in depth about powder-fingers songs, prob cause they are australian. Anyway this would have to be my fav song of there, msg in it clear and simple, dude been stuck in a rut, stuck doing something he hated but now it's finally over and even though he might have nothing left (prayed all my past behind) he looks to a new beginning where he has a clearer mind and through a strong relationship he can get back on track (your sweet love has blessed my soul). I guess it might be a little like pearl jams cordoroy song with the same meaning as 'i'll end up alone like I began' but with a more optomistic/uplifting tone placed in this song i think first line is pull me down under the waves, mathes the vid clip to | |

| Those lyrics are really wrong. Correct lyrics (from hindleysite.com): Push me right over and hold me down under the wave If I'm out of breath maybe I'll recognise my mistakes 'Cause nothing I've done yet is worthy of showing to you Its just meaningless bullshit; the promises I'll pedal you I need somewhere to begin Somebody gotta let me in Colour me with red and gold Your sweet love will bless my soul Colour me with red and gold Come bless my soul I left the thunder and rain of my past all behind When I'm looking back there's a shadow that falls over my time 'Cause nobody knows just what happened to me there in Spain That place took me right over and left me to be ever changed I need somewhere to begin Somebody gotta let me in Colour me with red and gold Your sweet love will bless my soul Colour me with red and gold Come bless my soul ..wont you come and bless wont you come back and bless my soul With your sweet love... | |

| Let's put the pieces together... We know that: a) Bernard (lead singer) married a Spanish lady approx. 2 years after the release of this song. b) He also saw the end of a 12 year relationship around the same time. c) He recently married a Spanish lady. "Nobody knows just what happened to me there in Spain." No, Bernard, but we can surely hazard a guess! What if you discovered someone special there and in so doing awoke to the fact that your existing relationship was dead in the water? Maybe you cheated. That would explain songs like Thrill is Gone (artist: Bernard Fanning) where you wrote lyrics like "Sure was a hell of a mistake I made But I sure am glad that I made it No way for a grown man to behave More the act of a teen opportunist I stand accused of losing my head" and "I can sense trouble just around the bend And it's all been my kind of making I can't carry on with all this pretence When it's clear that my love has been fading I stand accused of the things I said" and "It's not so much that the thrill is gone Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along". All right, we've got the idea. Bless My Soul wasn't some random Powderfinger song, but one of the most meaningful you've ever written. | |
