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.[1] The song was played live from 1979 to 1982[2][3][4][5] 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.[6] The song is also included on Queen's Greatest Hits[7] and Queen Forever albums. HistoryBrian May wrote "Save Me" about a friend whose marriage had ended. Kerry Ellis included her version of the song on her debut album Anthems. She has performed the song with Brian May on The Tour (2011) and at various events. Technical detailsMusically, the song is complex, with the verses in the key of G major, and the chorus in the key of D major. An instrumental solo, in the related key of G major, serves as a verse. Music videoThe video for the song was filmed at Alexandra Palace on 22 December 1979 and directed by Keith "Keef" MacMillan and features animation of a woman and a dove. The video would be the last to feature Freddie without a moustache as he would sport it starting with the next video for "Play the Game", until 1987 when he shaved it off for the music video for his solo song "The Great Pretender".
