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.
About You
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
It's driving me insane
I can't fake
For God sakes why am i
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Are you the fishy wine that will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That'll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That it why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
So mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
The song "Mad About You" by Hooverphonic is a haunting track that delves into the complicated emotions of being in love with someone who brings both pleasure and pain. The lyrics convey a feeling of desperation, as the singer grapples with the intensity of their feelings and struggles to make sense of them. The opening lines, "Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain, it's driving me insane," set the stage for the rest of the song, which explores the complex and often contradictory aspects of love.
Throughout the song, the singer refers to the object of their affections as "you," a person who is both trouble and passion incarnate. They plead for the object of their desire to share their true feelings, even if those feelings are negative or full of hate. The singer is willing to take on the burden of their lover's emotions, transforming them into something positive and intense. This obsession with another person is powerful and fascinating, leading the singer to question whether it's wrong to feel so mad about them.
Interpreting these lyrics in the context of different artists' music can yield a variety of results. For example, a ballad-style interpretation might explore more of the delicate balance between love and pain, while a rock-inspired version might focus more on the wild, uncontrollable feelings experienced by the singer. In either case, the song's lyrics provide ample inspiration for artists exploring themes of love, obsession, and emotional intensity.
