Bliss1205 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So it turns out 'Save Me' is based on Chris' drinking problems, and infact, not a Queen cover... https://twitter.com/TomWellsLSF/status/227772550116159488 From the NME Interview leaked earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaSarahS Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Uhm that's right, sorry Bliss And c'mon, lately the album thread is quite on topic It can be every once in a while. Back on topic. I'm really looking forward to this song, but I wonder if the lyrics will seem too personal or sensitive and it makes me skip it. We'll see.

Killer Rabbit Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm really looking forward to this song, but I wonder if the lyrics will seem too personal or sensitive and it makes me skip it. Probably not. From my understanding, it's about the impact of addiction on relationships. Chris may have penned it based on personal experience, but I get the feeling the lyrics might be generic (read: not specific to just him) enough so that there will be some way to connect to it, even if you haven't had a similar experience. TL,DR: The song is about interpersonal relationships. Muse do good songs about those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foldingstars Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I hope Chris can carry out the theme of the song without turning the song into a massive cheese fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Rabbit Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm personally hoping that Chris' songs end up being the best on the album musically AND lyrically. It would be something if the quiet bassist who doesn't say much ends up being a lyrical wordsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannahG123 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think it's amazing that after all these years he's finally written a song for his family after all they have been through. I'm going to respect it for that reason alone however cheesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Ferris Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I hope Chris can carry out the theme of the song without turning the song into a massive cheese fest. I imagine Chris' writing matches his demeanour, I don't think we have to worry about excess as far as he's concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylle Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I love how this thread started out with a possibility of it being a Queen cover and then it turns out it's a song by Chris. If you look at it from a certain perspective, the lyrics to Save Me by Queen could reference Chris's taking to alcohol and how his family pulled him through, just as the NME article suggested.

jdeboer01 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm actually looking forward to hearing the two songs by Chris more than anything else on the album. I have a feeling they will be very good, or at a minimum, at least sincere and humanistic. Songs about Matt fighting with his girlfriend and attempting to contemplate and/or place blame for the world's economic woes -- not really getting psyched about that I fear.

SoberBaby Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I can see MATT singing it Queen style...but definitely not Chris. Either way, I don't like it that much when Queen does it...just not my cup o' tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Songs about Matt fighting with his girlfriend and attempting to contemplate and/or place blame for the world's economic woes -- not really getting psyched about that I fear. What makes fighting alcoholism more humanistic and sincere than fighting with your loved one? I think people really underrate the emotional impact and devistation of personal relationships for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people really underrate the emotional impact and devistation of personal relationships for some reason... I see your point... but having an issue with alcohol to the point where you puke blood and having that kind of addiction is more interesting song-material, IMO. Not trying to underrate personal relationships, but a fight with your girlfriend isn't the same as puking blood on Christmas morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I would add to that that singing about the woes of the world is imo probably the most humanistic thing there is. The themes and ideas in that area, are devastating. All the more so because there is quite a lot of truth to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The themes and ideas in that area, are devastating. All the more so because there is quite a lot of truth to them. Thing with the global issues lyrics is Matt usually ends up making them a bit too general and it results in a bit of bland. Kind of like the "us" and "them" stuff in The Resistance. Although now it seems he's getting a bit more specific and telling bankers to kill themselves to we'll see how that turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
