"Somebody Save Me" is a high-energy glam metal and hard rock song by the American band Cinderella. Released in early 1987, it is the fourth single from their 3x-platinum debut studio album, Night Songs. Front man Tom Keifer described the track as a frantic "cry for help" wrapped in a fast-paced rock anthem about the stresses and chaotic realities of growing up. Musical Style and Lyrical Themes Fast and Heavy: Driven by pounding power chords, heavy drums, and a sharp blues-rock edge. The Panic of Adulthood: Lyrics touch on losing jobs, financial dread, and life moving too fast. Signature Vocals: Tom Keifer’s raspy, high-pitched delivery adds a sense of urgency and raw panic. Music Video and Reception The Video: Directed by Mark Rezyka, the 1987 music video features the band performing in a studio and at a concert. It famously features a cameo appearance by Jon Bon Jovi, who originally helped champion the band. Chart Success: Peaked at number 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100, helping cement Night Songs as a major commercial success. Rare promotional radio station copy.
