I read somewhere that Beatle’s song are extremely seldom licensed, and that source (sorry, I cannot remember) mentioned 400.000 (dollars, pounds? doesnt make a difference any more) for licensing “Within you, without you” or “Tomorrow never knows”, which are also not among the top 10 of The Beatles. Arguably also not among their top 50.

Then you’ll need to contact the respective record labels to get and pay for the rights. Expect to pay somewhere in the multiple thousands of dollars for each of those songs. More if you ever plan to put the videos online. It will be a long process. Sincere luck.

Doesn’t matter what the project is for with regards to getting the rights. The price for the use may change, but you still have to get those sync licenses. The more popular the song and artist, the harder and more expensive.

There are so many amazing songs (both with and without lyrics), on sites like The Music Bed, Marmoset, Triple Scoop, and heck, even PremiumBeat. I would strongly advise checking those sites out rather than go through the hassle of trying to get the usage rights for a Lenny Kravitz or Perry Como song.

Nope. Doesn’t matter what it’s for. But there is a lot of great music you can legally use from the sites mentioned on this blog post. They have special rates for short films.

I do not know who you are but certainly you’re going to a
famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

Short promotional or commercial videos, where you’ve paid for the legal license, do not require credit to the composer/musician. You will typically see a credit to the musician if it’s 1) a short narrative film or documentary or 2) you got the music for free and the credit is a requirement.
