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. The song is 7:24 long, and according to the "10% or 30 sec, whichever is lower" rule, the clip has been specifically cut down to 30 seconds. (10% of 7:24 is 0:44).
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.

1. It is used to illustrate the musical direction the artist sought for album No Line on the Horizon. Interviews with the band described the album's change of direction following All That You Can't Leave Behind and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb as being similar to the shift between The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. The sample is indicative of the change in sound the band made for the album following How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
2. It is used to illustrate the original concept for the album No Line on the Horizon, as the song is most reflective of the band's attempt to write "future hymns" during their two-week recording session in Fez, Morocco.
3. It is used in a section of an article that discusses specific elements of the song's writing and recording.

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 illustrate the song's introduction where prose cannot. The introduction has widely been analyzed and reviewed in assessing the artist's new musical direction.
