“We often use the expression “they’re
playing my song,” not always remembering that while we may have emotionally
adopted the song, it still legally belongs to the songwriter who created it, and
the music publisher who markets it. When you use other people’s property,
you need to ask permission.”

If you use music that other people created, no matter how you use it, you need
to get a license. This is true even if you are giving away your project for
free, or if it's for a non-profit.
You do not need permission to use songs that you wrote yourself or songs that
you know are in the Public Domain.
