"Spiritus" is a song performed and written by Australian singer–songwriter Lisa Mitchell. The song was released on 27 March 2012[1] as the lead single from her third extended play, Spiritus. It was also included on her second studio album, Bless This Mess. The track peaked at number 91 on the ARIA Chart.

In an interview with Tom and Alex on Triple J on 27 March 2012, Mitchell said; "Spiritus means breath in Latin and I've been doing a lot of yoga lately and a lot of breathing; that's the main thing you concentrate on. That's sort of one component of the song but I guess it was a bit of a message to my former self. Almost something you wish you told yourself a couple of years ago, which is mainly to have some perspective. There is an epic sun out there and it's all good."[2]
