R.E.M. , American rock group, the quintessential college rock band of the 1980s. The members were lead singer Michael Stipe (b. January 4, 1960, Decatur, Georgia, U.S.), guitarist Peter Buck (b. December 6, 1956, Berkeley, California), bassist Mike Mills (b. December 17, 1958, Orange, California), and drummer Bill Berry (b. July 31, 1958, Duluth, Minnesota).
R.E.M., named for a dream-state condition ( r apid e ye m ovement), formed in 1980 in Athens , Georgia, a university town about 65 miles (105 km) northeast of Atlanta that was already internationally noted for its local pop scene by the time R.E.M. released Chronic Town , its 1982 debut extended-play recording. Stipe, obsessed with his own passions and hatreds, was a rounded tenor who draped vague words in sonically reassuring cadences , and Buck, with a wider-ranging view of rock, was a guitarist drawn to fun and ideas; they met at the record store where Buck worked and Stipe shopped. Their band was more melodic than earlier groups in Athens, such as Pylon, yet never as lighthearted as the B-52’s . R.E.M. answered only to themselves.
This quality explains the unmatched regard that would accrue to this romantic band—the American equivalent of Irish rockers U2 and British alternative rock groups such as the Smiths , bands also interested in stretching the rock-band guitar tradition into something newly personal. Beginning with the shifting sonic tapestry of “ Radio Free Europe” (first released in 1981), R.E.M. drew on influences as various as the Byrds , the Velvet Underground , Big Star , Patti Smith , the Rolling Stones , and the New York Dolls to regale fans with albums fashioned from unpredictable blends of nonmetal rock and impressionistic folk.
Especially ambitious was the band’s 1985 release, Fables of the Reconstruction , a tense blend of R.E.M.’s ideas about folk rock and those of Joe Boyd , an American expatriate who worked in the 1960s with British artists such as Nick Drake and Fairport Convention. R.E.M. also offered singles such as “Fall on Me” and “The One I Love,” which broadened its audience. The tack was completed in 1991 when the Grammy Award -winning Out of Time reached number one on the British and American album charts and the single “ Losing My Religion” became an enormous hit and also earned a Grammy.
R.E.M. taught successive generations of American rockers how to be vague and specific at the same time; by juxtaposing evocative phrases to create poetic collages, they involved listeners in the creation of the meaning of their songs. The group spent the 1990s making balladic albums such as Automatic for the People (1992) and rowdier, noisier collections such as Monster (1994).
Soon after the release of New Adventures in Hi-Fi in 1996, drummer Berry, who had suffered health problems, left the band. With his departure R.E.M. again reinvented its sound with Up (1998), an adventurous album of sonic experimentation. The band continued to perform and record together into the 2000s—releasing Reveal (2001) and Around the Sun (2004)—but also branched out individually to work with other performers. In 2007 R.E.M. was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and released the group’s first live album, titled R.E.M. Live , later that year. Accelerate (2008), which followed and received great notices, emphasized electric guitars and Stipe’s lustrous baritone while aiming allusive broadsides at the administration of U.S. Pres. George W. Bush . R.E.M. seemed unpleased with the course U.S. politics had taken in the four years since the band had last recorded a studio album; however, the group must have taken solace in its old revved-up folk-rock sound because the new music emerged iconic .
Accelerate was R.E.M.’s highest-charting album since New Adventures in Hi-Fi , and the group supported it with an extensive world tour. The band returned to the studio for Collapse into Now (2011), an album that combined power pop, straightforward rock, and acoustic ballads into a single audio palette, unified by Buck’s masterful guitar work. In September 2011, after more than three decades at the forefront of rock music, the members of R.E.M. announced the dissolution of the band.

Most people climb into bed at night without ever thinking about the different stages of sleep that their brain and body cycle through or how these stages can affect their health. But understanding the role of REM sleep is important. This particular stage of sleep has a major impact on your memory, mental focus, and mood.
In this article you’ll learn about what REM is, why the REM portion of your sleep is so important, and how to make sure you’re achieving the right amount every night.
Ever wonder why you are tired despite getting a full night’s sleep? Maybe you didn’t spend enough time in the deep sleep stage of your sleep. Sleep is generally divided into two stages: REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement). NREM is further split into three parts: starting to fall asleep, light sleep, and deep sleep. During deep sleep, your breathing slows down, your blood pressure drops, and your energy is renewed.
During a typical night, your sleep alternates through cycles of REM and NREM sleep about every 90 minutes. The REM stage accounts for approximately 25 percent of sleep time, while the NREM stage takes up the other 75 percent. Ideally, you want to achieve five or six full sleep cycles, the equivalent to seven and a half to nine hours of sleep each night. You may feel more refreshed and rested if you wake up at the end of a cycle, instead of in the middle of one.
While you’re in the REM stage of sleep, your eyes move rapidly (giving this stage its name), darting back and forth under your closed lids. It is during this state that most of your dreaming takes place. At the same time, your muscles become temporarily paralyzed—important so that you don’t attempt to act out those dreams. REM sleep involves more brain activity than NREM and is considered a more “wakeful” state, as your heart rate and blood pressure increase to levels close to what you experience when you are awake.
REM sleep plays a significant role in helping your brain consolidate and process new information. This information is then retained in your long-term memory. REM sleep also helps to ensure better mental concentration and mood regulation, two things that are critical to both your daily work performance and overall quality of life.
The negative effects from lack of REM sleep are serious: Without this critical sleep stage, your immune system could be weakened, you may experience pain more deeply, and the growth of new healthy cells and tissue in the body might be blocked. Poor REM sleep may be due to sleep disorders such as insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea, which causes you to wake during the night.
There are apps and tools on the market that are helpful in quantifying how long you sleep and how much you toss and turn during the night. By measuring things like changes in heart rate, they may be able to estimate your REM sleep as well. But it’s also true that by simply focusing on getting a solid night of sleep, you will likely improve your chances of getting a sufficient amount of the all-important REM stage, too.
How to make sure you get the sleep you need? Wind down gradually in the evening, without TV or computers to distract you with their sleep-inhibiting blue light. Head to bed at the same time each evening to increase your odds of developing a healthy sleep schedule. And limit caffeine and alcohol before bed to improve your overall sleep.

I saw this R.E.M. performance on TV live on BBC back in 2003 when I was living in London, I was so astonished by Michael Stipe performance, as a music videos fan I came across exactly this song bit of the concert. I unpretentiously posted this in 2011. I had no idea how this song touches people in so many different ways. Now it's reaching nearly 40 million views. The comments are just so overwhelming.
