Brian May wrote “Save Me” about a friend whose relationship had ended, and played piano, synths and guitars (electric and twelve-string acoustic) on it.
Played live, the song would typically feature a short piano introduction absent from the studio version. This introduction can be found in a Brian May solo composition “My Boy” which can only be found much later on the 1998 compilation album “Lullabies With A Difference”. The general melody could have been conceived by May as early as 1980 as the intro to the live version of “Save Me” exhibits.
In addition, the lyrics “I’m naked and I’m far from home” were uttered near the end of the pilot episode of the television series “Highlander” (whose theme was another Queen song, “Princes of the Universe”) by Christopher Lambert’s character.
* Brian May: lead, rhythm and acoustic twelve-string guitars, piano, synthesizer, backing vocals.
* Roger Taylor: Drums, backing vocals.
* Freddie Mercury: Lead and backing vocals.
* John Deacon: bass.
