}} "Savin' Me" is a song written by Canadian band Nickelback. It was released as the third major single from their fifth studio album, ''All the Right Reasons'' (2005). The song reached number two on the Canadian Singles Chart, became another top ten hit for the band in New Zealand, peaking at number nine, and peaked at number nineteen on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. It is one of the band's few videos in which they are not shown performing. It was featured in the closing credits to the film ''The Condemned'' as well as in the commercials for the third season of ''Battlestar Galactica'' and the second season of ''Prison Break''. It was also the title theme for the TV series ''Surgery Saved My Life''. ==Music video== The music video opens with a man (Ryan Peake) in a trenchcoat wandering near a street corner with a confused look on his face. He then sees another man talking on a cell phone about to get hit by a New Jersey Transit bus, and pulls him back just in the nick of time, and then walks away. The second man starts staring at other people as the song begins. Eventually, the viewer sees that the second man sees timers with glowing numbers counting down above the heads of everyone around him. To everyone else he appears to be crazy. He is baffled by the timers until he sees an elderly woman being brought out on a stretcher: when the timer above her head reaches zero, she dies. Shortly afterwards he sees a young woman sitting down and peeling an orange. She has numbers above her head and in front of her pregnant stomach. He also sees that he cannot see the timer above his own head. He soon spots a business woman about to enter her car, and sees her timer rapidly dwindles much faster than it should, dropping from the millions to the single digits in a matter of seconds. He pulls her out of the way just before her car is crushed by a falling statue in a crate (which, in an example of foreshadowing, can be seen in midair about halfway through the video (timestamp 2:00 as well as the lyrics just afterwards: "I'm fallin'"). The second man, talking on a cell phone, then walks away with his own reappearing glowing numbers overhead, just as the man who had saved him did, leaving the businesswoman astonished as ''she'' now sees the timers over everyone else's heads. The band is in an apartment; Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake are singing on camera, but no instruments are played; the other band members are seen simply staring at the camera, or into space. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Savin' Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
