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.
BABY BABY BABY
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop your crying now
Nothing is here to stay
Everything has to begin and end
A ship in a bottle won't sail
All we can do is dream that the wind
A ship in a bottle set sail
Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying now
There was a weakling man
Who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane
A ship in a bottle set sail
He took a deep breath and blew across the world
He watched everything crumble
Woke up a weakling again
Some might tell you there's no hope in hand
Just because they feel hopeless
But you don't have to be a thing like that
You be a ship in a bottle set sail
Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying, now
It's alright
So stop your crying, now
Be a ship in a bottle set sail

Baby, it's alright
Don't worry, everything is okay
Stop your crying now
Don't be sad anymore
Nothing is here to stay
Everything is temporary
Everything has to begin and end
All things have a starting point and an endpoint
A ship in a bottle won't sail
You can't keep things in a small space forever
All we can do is dream that the wind
We can only hope that things will turn out in our favor
Will blow us across the water
Will carry us towards the direction we want to go
A ship in a bottle set sail
Even the smallest things can take on great journeys
There was a weakling man
There was a person who doubted themselves
Who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane
Who aspired to be powerful and unstoppable
He took a deep breath and blew across the world
He tried his best despite the odds against him
He watched everything crumble
He saw his efforts fall apart
Woke up a weakling again
He realized that he wasn't as strong as he thought he was
Some might tell you there's no hope in hand
Some people might say that there's no chance for success
Just because they feel hopeless
Just because they're not optimistic
But you don't have to be a thing like that
But you don't have to think like that
You be a ship in a bottle set sail
You can achieve great things, no matter how small you seem
It's alright
Everything is going to be okay
So stop your crying, now
Don't be sad anymore
