Description
By error of Bellamy, Howard, Wolstenholme or Kirk, the name of the song was leaked by a photo on Twitter, until it was deleted.
'Save Me' is one of two songs on the album written by Chris about his alcoholism, the other being 'Liquid State'. He described the song as being about 'having the family, the wife and the kids who, despite all the crap that I've put them through, at the end of it you realise they're still there and they're the ones who pulled you through'. According to an NME article it is the first song with Chris on main vocal duty, along with 'Liquid State'. Chris said of this, 'I don't think I expected to sing it when I showed it to the other guys, but it was approached with a pretty open mind. They felt it was a big step for the band'. Matt added, 'I was into it because they were songs that were personal to him. It's like this new guy - the last time I remember meeting this guy was about ten years ago. He seems to be so energised about everything. I think he almost feels like he's woken up'.
