"Save Me" is a song by the British rock band Queen from their 1980 album The Game. Written by guitarist Brian May, it was recorded in 1979, and released in the UK on 25 January 1980, nearly six months prior to the release of the album. "Save Me" spent six weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 11.[2] It was the band's first single release of the 1980s.
The power ballad[3] was played live from 1979 to 1982[4][5][6][7] and was recorded for their live albums, Queen Rock Montreal at the Montreal Forum, Quebec, Canada in November 1981 and Queen on Fire – Live at the Bowl at the Milton Keynes Bowl, Buckinghamshire, England in June 1982.[8] The song is also included on Queen's Greatest Hits,[9] and Queen Forever albums. The earliest circulating video of a Live Performance is during the Concerts for the People of Kampuchea at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1979.
