Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free audio or music sample true for Through the Rain
Description	This is the sample from a recording of "Through the Rain". Copyright in the recording is believed to belong to the label, Island, or the artist, Mariah Carey.
Source	Track "Through the Rain" from the album Charmbracelet by Mariah Carey.
Article	Through the Rain
Portion used	A small portion (~28 seconds) of a 4 minutes 48 seconds long song.
Low resolution?	The sound sample is of a lower bitrate (~51kbps) and of lower quality than the original sound recording.
Purpose of use	The composition section. The audio sample is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as sample. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Use for this purpose stated does not compete with the purposes of the original recording, namely the artist's providing a musical performance or recording services to audio or music production concerns and in turn marketing music or audio recordings to the public.The sound sample is used 'only to support' the composition section.
Replaceable?	As a sample from a copyrighted musical recording, the sample is not replaceable by free content; any other sample from the same recording would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. As this is a copyrighted media, it is not replaceable by any free alternative.
Other information	The sample is being used in the article to describe the song's simple piano melody and the inspiration lyrics. The sample also demonstrates the final belted chorus by the singer, Mariah Carey. Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
