About Nicholas Pemberton Expertise I have been an R.E.M. fan for at least 7 years now. I have all their LPs, over 30 singles, 7 videos, and 5 books, so I am sure that I can answer any question related to the music of REM itself. I also am sort of familiar with REM band bios, so I most likely can answer any question about a band member.
Experience I am very familiar with the work of R.E.M. I have read several books and articles about them. I also frequent the different music news sites to get up to date information on what they are working on. I have been an expert on expertcentral.com, and have successfully answered every question asked of me.
Organizations I am a member of the R.E.M. fanclub. I am also on a really good R.E.M. list group. I was also an expert on expertcentral.com.
Publications No where.
Education/Credentials Some college.
Awards and Honors American Legion Award in eighth grade, but that has nothing to do with R.E.M.

Question Does R.E.M sing a song that goes like " i don`t get much sleep anymore. I try to hide it, deny it, pretend. I always end up falling down"
The song was played on 90210 in 91` and R.E.M also had their song "You Are The Everything" played too. So I thought maybe this is a R.E.M song too.I hope you can help.
Answer I am 99.99% sure that R.E.M. did not sing the song that goes "i don't get much sleep anymore. I try to hide it, deny it, pretend. I always end up falling down." The lyric did not strike me as an R.E.M. song, but I did check the R.E.M. lyric archive at http://www.retroweb.com/rem just to make sure. I checked everything from 1980 to 1993, including cover versions, b-sides, and the studio albums. No song contained this lyric. If you have any other information that could help me (like more of the song) I could look for the band that sings this song, even if it isn't R.E.M. Anyways, I hope this helped. Have a good day.
Nicholas
P.S. Besides their songs appearing in 90210, songs by R.E.M. have also appeared in Friends and Party of Five (where they actually performed "At My Most Beautiful") just to name a few.
