[edit] Music video

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. It's unclear as to whether the film clip was filmed when the song was originally recorded or if it was filmed for promotional purposes when the album Fingerprints: The Best of Powderfinger, 1994-2000 was released, partly because the images of the band are so distorted.
