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.

Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
That I am so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
The lyrics of "Always On My Mind" by Various Artists express a feeling of regret and apology to a past lover for not showing enough love and attention. The lyrics suggest that the singer failed to love their partner as much as they could have, and regrets not treating them as well as they deserved. The lines "Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have" and "Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times" convey a sense of missed opportunities to express affection and physical intimacy.
The chorus, "But you were always on my mind... Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died," suggests that even though the singer didn't always show it, their lover was always present in their thoughts and that they still deeply care for them. The final lines of the song, "Little things I should have said and done, I just never took the time, But you were always on my mind," express regret for the missed opportunities to express their love and affection to their partner.
Overall, "Always On My Mind" is a heartfelt and poignant confession of past mistakes in a past relationship, and a plea for forgiveness and another chance to make things right.

Maybe I didn't love you
I may not have loved you enough
Quite as often as I could have
As frequently as I ought to have
Maybe I didn't treat you
I may have been mistreating you
Quite as good as I should have
As appropriately as you deserved
If I made you feel second best
In case I made you feel less important
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
I apologize for not seeing what I was doing

I failed to allocate some quality time
But you were always on my mind
Nonetheless, you occupied my thoughts
You were always on my mind
You were always in my thoughts
You were always on my mind
You were always in my thoughts
