Queen Deep Dive: "Save Me", I can't face this life alone

One of Queen's and Brian's best, "Save Me" is the climactic rock ballad album closer; the bookend to Freddie's dramatic "Play The Game". Brian plays electric, acoustic 12-string, piano and synthesizer in this brooding and passionate number. Freddie strikes hard into our hearts with dynamic lead vocals as the backing harmonies soar over the powerful arrangement, tinged with classical elements. John's bass dances in its lithe performance. Roger makes an impact with bombastic drums. And live, this was a magical number that audiences loved.
