Save Me - Ken Tamplin Original Song

I remember when I wrote this song back in 1991.

Grunge was taking over the rock world, and I watched the complete implosion of Classic Rock and 80s metal.

I even went as far as to create an album that plagiarized some of the Rock's greatest moments and combined them all in an album to see if there was really anything left of commercial Rock music. I was also experimenting with taking famous quotations and stringing them together to create songs. Not random quotations, but very thought-out lyrics, done in a way that also included some of the greatest poets in world history. A one-two punch, so to speak, for my self-titled Tamplin album.

The album did go on to win a Dove Award and enjoyed some radio success, but for the most part, it just didn't have the legs it needed to become truly successful.

In fact, almost no one from the 80s rock era was having any success at all at that time.

And for some reason, I was just not resonating with grunge music.

I did like the voices of Chris Cornell, Lane Staley, and a couple of others, but the music itself was not getting into my soul.

So I decided to take a complete departure and make an acoustic pop album with live horns, strings, choirs, etc..

This song "Save Me" is the quintessential example of that album.

I was not only trying to make a musical statement but a lyrical statement as well.

I felt alone, distraught, forgotten, with very little hope from the music that I had growing up on.

In fact, the opening line of this song is: "Here in my little lonely room. You know lonesome is a bad place to get crowded into. Watching the leaves of life falling one by one, it's got me swimming in a sea of emotion..."

This was the kind of songwriting I was going after.

And I'm still very proud of this album and I hope you enjoy one of the songs from it!

Save Me!

Here in my little lonely room
You know lonesome's a bad place to get crowded into

Watching the leaves of life falling one by one It's got me swimming in a sea of emotion

The spirit's willing but the flesh is weak To escape that old serpent's sting

Is there an angel in the house
That's gonna come and pull me out?

I could use some of that amazing grace

So come on

Save me, Lord won't you come and save me When are you gonna come and save me?

Lord come on over and drive the night away

I can see you coming sweet Jesus
I can hear you callin' my name

Well I'm searchin' for the answers
You know I want to understand
And I'm gonna love you all I can

So come on

Save me, Lord won't you come and save me When are you gonna come and save me?

A gentle rain from heaven and the hope that it's given Now the road's just a little bit brighter

Yeah the soul's feeling better because you for gave this debtor And the load's just a little bit lighter

So come on

Save me, Lord won't you come and save me When are you gonna come and save me?

It's a Long and winding trail into the land of my dreams But I've got a rendezvous with destiny

And if I fail you Lord your Majesty
I'm going to get down get down get down on my knees and pray

So come on

Save me, Lord won't you come and save me When are you gonna come and save me?

A gentle rain from heaven and the hope that it's given Now the road's just a little bit brighter

Yeah the soul's feeling better because you for gave this debtor And the load's just a little bit lighter

So come on

Save me, Lord won't you come and save me When are you gonna come and save me?
