The song “My Patch” by Jim Noir is copyrighted as a musical work, and the recording is also protected separately.

What that means

  • You generally cannot reuse the song, lyrics, or the original recording freely without permission.
  • Copyright protection applies automatically and lasts a long time; in the UK it is typically 70 years after the end of the year the author dies.
  • In the U.S., sound recordings and musical works have their own copyright rules, and recordings published after February 15, 1972 are protected under federal law.

Practical takeaway

If you mean “can I use it in a video, stream, or post,” the safe answer is usually not without a license or permission.

If you mean whether the song title itself is copyrighted, titles are generally not protected by copyright on their own.

Related note

There are public discussions online about music copyright compliance and infringement, but those do not change the basic legal status of the song itself. If you want, I can also help you figure out whether a specific use of “My Patch” would likely need permission.
