One of the youngsters I was paired up with was a musician. Hither I was, a protected suburbanite, and he was just 17 and had all these problems. And no one could write a manual on how to relieve him.

Slade claims that the song is about all of the people that tried to reach out to the boy just were unsuccessful. As Slade says in an interview, the boy's friends and family approached him past saying, "Quit taking drugs and cut yourself or I won't talk to you again," just all he needed was some support. The boy was losing friends and going through depression. He lost his best friend and could not bargain with it. The verses of the vocal depict an endeavour by an developed to face up a troubled teen.

I got a lot of east-mails about it (...) 1 boy died in a machine accident, and I guess it had been the last song he downloaded from his reckoner. They played it at his funeral, and some of his friends got Save a life tattooed on their arms. The response has been overwhelming.

During an interview in Sauce, Bob Wilson asked Slade, "'How to Salvage a Life' was obviously inspired by an experience you lot had as a mentor to a boy who had a drug trouble. What's the story behind that?" Slade answered:[five]

Well there's a group domicile here in Denver chosen Shelterwood, and it takes in teens who've had a tough time; their parents don't want to ship them to jail, but they can't keep rail of them themselves... A friend of mine was actually the president for that particular school, then he asked Joe and I to come up for one of their weekend retreats... I was paired up with 1 boy in detail. His story was just astonishing – all the relationships that he had put at risk because of the decisions he made, and eventually losing the relationships... the cost of his lifestyle and his choices, and kind of relating them to my ain life and my own stories; seeing all the relationships I've threatened for one reason or some other. It was a actually inspiring weekend.
