Find out who the copyright holder is and write a short letter explaining what the music will be used for and the expected audience - and specify that it is for non-commercial use, if it is.
It's likely that you will get a limited permission free if you credit the music somewhere in the video.

Copyright does not go away just because you're not selling it. You can still get in some serious trouble by copying something and using it without permission under any circumstances. Would you want someone to use your work without permission? You need to write to the label that put out the music and get permission first if you really want to be safe. It's good practice for real life, where not getting permission could cost you business and money.

First.... the word is "copyright". the right to the copy. Judging by your usage of English, writing, etc., I wud guess U are not an "A" student. If U do not sell the vid to the public, and it is for private use only, then, no prob. Once U make it public, it is subject to the copyright laws. U must pay royalties to the owner of them. It often takes an attorney to work that out. Research.

You will need to contact the copyright holder to seek authorization. You might start with the recording company that released the recording for starters. Your instincts about copyright are good, as you apparently understand the necessity of seeking authorization. Good luck with the video.
