Some bands burst into the public consciousness with a flare of brilliance, or simple novelty, and just as quickly disappear. Others – Australian quintet Powderfinger, for instance – slowly build their sound and identity through hard work and perseverance, and then appear, fully-formed, leaving listeners asking, "Where did THEY come from?" Powderfinger comes from Brisbane, Australia, and over the seven years since their 1994 debut album they have become the top rock band in their native country. Winners of nearly every major award in Australia – including the 1999 Australian Record Industry Awards for Album of the Year, Best Rock Album and Song of the Year - their albums have regularly gone multi-platinum Down Under. Now, with their fourth album, Odyssey Number F More... (Submit New Powderfinger Lyrics) (Submit New Powderfinger Lyrics) andrea's review | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger Apologies Andrea (above) but seeing this song was released on the Fingerprints album, I don't think "Bless my soul" is a tribute to Mrs Fanning. She didn't come on the scene til way after the song's release. School Song | Reviewer: Dave ------ About the song These Days performed by Powderfinger I played this song for our 12 formal assembly this yr man there was not a dry eye in the building i reckon. Thanks Matt,Dean,Chris (u guys rock) Peace out (Class of 2007) "skinny jean" rocks | Reviewer: trisha ------ About the song Skinny Jean performed by Powderfinger skinny jean is one of my favourite songs of all time, and i'm stoked that it's from my favourite band as well. skinny jean belongs to powderfinger, and powderfinger alone. everything is right about it, from beginning to end, vocals to sound. great edgy sound, and a huge range of mood and tempo as well, from groove, to crescendo in the chorus, even some sympathy seems to creep in there. i continue to marvel at the tight instrumentals, and the apparent depth of the lyrics. i think it makes a very relevant statement about the perils of fashion and the effect that obsessively or narrowly following it can have on a life. I'm still not entirely sure what it's exactly about and some of the things it refers to- the lyrics are cryptic at times- but that's the mystery and pleasure of it- there's always something more to discover here, another layer of meaning. i reckon it's still the tightest and most compelling song on Double Allergic- a ripping start to a great album. go powderfinger, love your voice bernard if you're reading this! jonny song | Reviewer: joanna ------ About the song These Days performed by Powderfinger my bf is in fuken luv wit dis fuken song it so mad n im really soz if he annoyed any1 wit dis song Super Song! | Reviewer: Blomberg ------ About the song Sunsets performed by Powderfinger Hey, this song is great, i love it. It really explains the cultural references and differences between Australia and Japan Lost & Dumbfounded | Reviewer: phil ------ About the song Lost And Running performed by Powderfinger This song is the best to come from Powderfinger since My Happyness Bernard found love indeed | Reviewer: andrea ------ About the song Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger When in Spain in 2005, Bernard met a young lady called Andrea and obviously wrote the song about meeting her again.... They married in January this year. Amazingly different | Reviewer: Izzle-my-Nizzle ------ About the song Lemon Sunrise performed by Powderfinger When i first heard this i was shocked that they, Powderfinger, would do a song like this ..listening to it further i found that not only is the song lyrically nothing (by this i mean the song writer - proabably Bernard - just threw in a few words that rhymed here and there). I love it, dont get me wrong ..the sex appeal in his voice is just so full on! maybe a nice beach scene with waves and an early morning sunrise would be an ideal film clip! Moving back to the song, the chords dont seem too difficult but then again this is Them, which means that when u hear it u think somthing, and then when u try to play it you realise it is sooo much harder (little chords here and there that are played and u completely miss it when u just hear the song). i love the song ..i love his voice ..i love their band ..cant wait 'til june 9th! Bernie's Christian symbolism | Reviewer: Adam ------ About the song Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger I just went to check the lyrics ‘cos I listened to the song this morning and thought – ‘I reckon old Bernie’s a Christian’. There’s Christian baptism imagery (hold me down under the waves) associated with the emotion of repentance and re-birth (nothing I’ve done yet is worthy of showing to you [God]; I need somewhere to begin; life has turned me right over and left me to be ever changed). It sounds like he has had some spiritual experience in Spain. It’s not in the lyrics pasted below, but Bernard actually sings ‘Won’t you come back again’ at one point, which has Christian ‘eschatological’ (end times) symbolism, i.e. I think he’s referring to Jesus, and yearning for his second coming. It’s a theme that pops up in other Powderfinger songs such as The Day You Come and Waiting for the Sun (where Bernie uses the standard trope, or play on words, that uses ‘sun’ to represent ‘Son’ [Jesus]): I can see your face there in my hands my love I have been blessed by your grace and care my love Singing my love There's a place for us sitting here waiting for the sun And it calls me back into the safe arms that I know For every step you're further away from me my love I grow more unsteady on my feet my love Singing my love Now we're waiting for the sun AWESOME!!!!! | Reviewer: Tiffany ------ About the song Come Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger this song is excellent! love it so much. powderfinger is the best band of all time. it is the most awesomely excellent brilliantly song!!! bless my soul-powderfinger | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger does anyone have any insight as to the meaning behind this song??? is it a spiritual enlightenment or something similar??? pls reply with your thoughts thankyou nick (nicko.t@optusnet.com.au) You could review the artist/band Powderfinger in Biography page You could review Powderfinger album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Powderfinger song by clicking the song which you like | | ||||||||||
