The world mourned when the Singer/songwriter Freddie Mercury died from
AIDS late in 1992. Freddie Mercury was a brilliant front man with Queen,
who were also a great band both in their recordings and as a live stage
act. Queen were resonsible for the adventerous 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which
originally stayed in the top 100 for six months on its first release
and re-appeared as a double single after Freddie's death, to reach number
ONE for the second time - the only other single ever to do so, was John
Lennon's 'Imagine'!
I was fortunate to witness Queen's live stage show on tour in Leeds during
the early 1980's and Freddie Mercury was electric. He would travel all
around the available stage, including the scaffolding around the stage
at the Leeds football ground. Queen, successfully managed to please
and entertain a wide spectrum of age groups with their brand of stylish
Operatic/Rock/Pop, but Queen were also capable of producing lyrical
ballads which Freddie would sing so sweetly in his distinctive lyrical
voice. 'Save Me' is a fine example of this haunting ballad style and it
appears an early cry for help from Freddie, who must have known for
years that he was slowly dying. You contributed a body of work to the
popular song genre that you will go down in history Freddie
Mercury, and this Music-X and MIDI version is simply a tribute to that
magic
that you brought with all the music and videos that you and Queen made
during your career. Freddie, this one's for you...
'Save Me' can be found on these Queen recordings:-

Words & Music by
Freddie Mercury and Queen
It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried...
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived a lie
I love you 'till I die..
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Oh..
I'm naked and I'm far from home..
The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love..
I hang my head and advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent..
Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me Save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home
Each night I cry
I shall belie the lie
I love you 'till I die.
