Song Rights

        My group wanted to use a song called, "Tonight You Belong To Me", Taylor remembered it from an episode of American Horror Story and she really wants to use it in our short film during the scenes that Amber is doing everyday activities to let the audience know that something creepy is happening. 


       
  Taylor and I have been struggling to find out exactly who the rights to the song "Tonight You Belong To Me". Yesterday in class, Taylor and I did some research about the song and we may have found which label now owns it, however, we are not completely sure.. The label is called Universal Music UK and luckily their email address was easy to access on the website . We wrote an email in class and sent it. Taylor and I also made sure to let them know that we want to use the song purely for educational purposes and not for profit. I hope that this message gets to the actual label/ and or owner of the song and that they give us permission to use it. Below is the email that we sent to them. Enjoy our polite, but desperate plea for song rights :) Oh and by the way, the message was send from Taylor's email account. Kylie and I were CC'ed on it though.

 Hello, my name is Taylor Wolf and I am a senior at Cypress Bay High School. I am currently in the process of creating a short film for my AICE Media Studies class. This project is worth half of my Cambridge final exam grade. I am interested in receiving permission to use the song “Tonight You Belong To Me” by Patience and Prudence. I would like for it to be played as the background music for my short film. I want to make it clear, that I will not be making profit off of this and it is purely for educational purposes. I will make sure to credit your label if given permission to use the song. The song would be in the background of our video, the video would be on our sample website and private YouTube page. Please contact me back when you have the opportunity. Thank you for you time.
