The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.

Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.

Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.

Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.

Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

A Guy Is a Guy
Various Artists Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was dreaming of the past,
And my heart was beating fast.
I began to loose control,
I began to loose control.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
Im sorry that I made you cry.
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure,
you might not love me anymore.
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry.
I didn't want to hurt you,
no I didnt,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I'm jealous,
Jealous,
Jealous.
I'm jealous,
jealous,
jealous.
I'm jealous,
jealous,
jealous.
I'm jealous,

jealous,
I'm just a jealous guy.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics above describe the emotional turmoil of a man who realizes that he has lost control of his emotions and became a jealous guy. He laments over hurting the person he loves, apologizing for making them cry but struggling to come to terms with the fact that his jealousy has caused him to act out. The repeating chorus of "I'm jealous" emphasizes the intensity of his insecurity and the weight of his actions.

In terms of interpretation, the lyrics can be analyzed in different ways depending on the artist's take on them. Some may interpret the song as a story of a man trying to come to terms with his own flaws and seeking redemption. Others may see it as a warning to the dangers of unchecked jealousy and the need to address one's emotions before they spiral out of control. Some artists may even use the lyrics as a vehicle for a personal statement on their own emotional struggles.
