Article	August (Taylor Swift song)
Portion used	A short section sufficient to identify the work concerned, or to aid in critical commentary of the work.

This sample also serves to illustrate the song's lyrics, which narrate a story of a protagonist who is sorrowed by a fallen summer romance with someone taken. Non-free use rationale for TimedText (TimedText:August_by_Taylor_Swift_(song_sample).ogg.en.srt): As an excerpt from the song's lyrics, this TimedText serves to illustrate the song's lyrics of "August sipped away like a bottle of wine", which was inspired by Taylor Swift's imagery concept of summer as a "bottle of wine"..
