Save Me is a heartfelt folk-inspired song about the simple ways we can find love, connection and unity in one another. At its heart, the song is about being seen — and the powerful feeling that can come from small acts of kindness, understanding and human connection.

With an intimately endearing delivery, Save Me captures the beauty of those fleeting moments where something small can mean everything.

Written and performed by Si Connelly, Save Me is the first single to be released from Si’s Loneliness in the Making album (released early 2026) and accompanies Si’s 180 miles walking tour across the South coast of England.

“Si Connelly has one of the very best male voices in the UK right now.”

Independent singer-songwriter Si Connelly has spent the past decade building one of Britain’s most remarkable independent catalogues. This autumn he begins a new chapter with The Walking Tours.

There are no tour buses. No support vehicles. Every mile between venues will be walked. For Connelly—whose debut album Youth, War & Joy was written while living out of his car—the tour reflects a career built on independence, resilience and genuine connection with audiences. Following recording and publishing deals with Sony/RCA and EMI, he chose complete creative independence and has since released an extraordinary body of work, including monthly EPs, multiple studio albums, the live album Less of Me Left, and this year’s Loneliness in the Making. Two further albums, Wedding Singer and Change, are scheduled for release.

Supported by BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Kerrang! Radio and BBC One’s The One Show, Connelly has also written for major artists and toured throughout the UK, Europe and the United States. If the records tell one side of the story, the live shows tell the other. Over the past decade, Si has become a familiar face on stages across the UK, Europe and the United States, touring tirelessly and sharing bills with Ocean Colour Scene, Starsailor, KT Tunstall, Dexys, Bob Mould, Space, Boyzlife and Skipinnish.

Every tour has been another chance to build an audience the old-fashioned way — one room at a time. The Walking Tour demonstrates that independent music is still built one audience, one venue and now one step at a time. Each route will also be raising money for various local and national charities, as well as fully documented to be shared to his growing online following. “I’ve spent ten years building my career one song and one audience at a time. The WalkingTour simply takes that idea to its natural conclusion-travelling the same way I’ve built my music career: slowly, honestly and by connecting with people along the way.”
