Purpose of use

This sample illustrates a section of the article directly discussing the song, "Victoria". The song represents one of the major themes of Arthur, that of nostalgia and Britain (See Golden), and, being the album's lead single, is one of the record's most popular songs, and requires representation as such. It illustrates the subject in a way that could not be conveyed with words alone; critical commentary is provided throughout the article on the subject, and the combination of the two vastly improve the integrity and overall quality of the article itself. As mentioned, commentary is provided throughout the article and within the file's own caption: "Matt Golden in Stylus commented that "'Victoria' [is] the strongest song on the album and one of the five best songs of the Kinks' career. A tribute to the 'Golden Age of the British Empire.'"(Golden, Matt. "On Second Thought: The Kinks - Arthur (or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)". Stylus Magazine. Retrieved 25 January 2010.)
