Question
Hi Crystal, sorry to ask another song question, but the name/singer of this song has bugged me for too many years now ! It is quite a slow song and was in the first episode where Brandon had met a girl called Marianne and they were out on a motorbike. I don't have the episode on tape and have been asking everyone I know, but no-one can help. I would be eternally grateful for any clues, thanx Alison

Answer
The song is "Clear To You" by The Innocence Mission. It's available on their debut self-titled album from 1989.

If you are interested in owning a copy of that album, you might have to search for it. I could find it at some places such as ebay and half.com, but it appears to be out-of-print so the price can go up quite a lot.

Sidenote you may be interested in, the song was only used on the version that aired on TV and in syndication, it is not used on the official "The Pilot" VHS release.

Thanks for your question. Crystal

Expertise

I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.

Experience

I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down. Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.

Education/Credentials
Pertaining to BH90210: fan since original airing on Fox going back to 1991. Saw 1st season from reruns & syndication.
