Save You (Pearl Jam song)

2002 single by Pearl Jam

"Save You" is a song by American rock band Pearl Jam, released in February 2003 as the second single from the band's seventh studio album, Riot Act (2002). Although credited to all members of Pearl Jam, it features lyrics written by vocalist Eddie Vedder and music primarily written by guitarist Mike McCready. The song peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The song was included on Pearl Jam's 2004 greatest hits album, rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991–2003).

The music video for "Save You" was directed by James Frost. The video was filmed at Seattle, Washington's Chop Suey club in September 2002. The video consists of a filmed live performance of the band rather than a conceptual video. It was one of five videos shot at the club to promote Riot Act (including "I Am Mine," "Love Boat Captain," "Thumbing My Way" and "½ Full"). Up to that point the band had not made any music videos since 1998's "Do the Evolution". The video was released in late 2002.

The band played "Save You" when it appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman in November 2002 in support of Riot Act. The song was first performed live in concert at the band's December 5, 2002, concert in Seattle, Washington at The Showbox. Live performances of "Save You" can be found on various official bootlegs, the live album Live at Easy Street, the Live at the Gorge 05/06 box set, and the live album Live at Lollapalooza 2007. Performances of the song are also included on the DVDs Live at the Showbox and Live at the Garden.
