This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

• it illustrates an educational article about an artist that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
• it is a short audio sample from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
• it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
• it is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
• Further, the sample given highlights specific elements mentioned in the article, such as "a pounding heartbeat, twinkly piano and swooping strings", "somber piano, crashing drums and hand-claps", "the piano and string arrangements "roll mournfully" over the percussion", and "layered vocals that toe the line between underlying pain and an almost cold, removed sense of resignation ... Each line trails into an unknown, undefined distance."
