Fair use rationale
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * 1) It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken, as well as the band that performs it.
 * 2) It is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording.
 * 3) It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
 * 4) It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * 5) 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.

Specific rationale for "Running to Stand Still"

 * 1) It is used for educational purposes to identify the song that is discussed at length in the article.
 * 2) It is used in an article that discusses specific elements of the song's background and composition and provides commentary on these elements where prose cannot.
 * 3) It is used to demonstrate how Bono's personal experience with the drug addiction at Dublin's Ballymun flats shaped the lyrics and theme of the song, which are discussed throughout the article. The sample contains the most overt reference to those flats with the line "I see seven towers, I only see one way out".
 * 4) It is used to demonstrate the ambiguity of the song's lyrics, which have alternate interpretations mentioned in the article.
 * 5) It is used to demonstrate the loose musical inspiration that Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" and Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" had on the song through the specific vocal melodies present in the sample.

Specific rationale for The Joshua Tree

 * 1) It is used in a section providing commentary on "Running to Stand Still". The sample is used to supplement the article and depict the song's composition, both musically and lyrically, where prose cannot.
 * 2) It is used to provide an example of the influence that American roots music (specifically folk music) had on the album's sound.
