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.

Ain't but one way out baby, and lord I just can't go out the door.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there,
Freely
Lord, it just might happen to be your man...
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just don't know...
The lyrics to "One Way Out" by Various Artists present a sense of desperation and fear as the singer realizes he's trapped in a precarious situation with a lover. The opening lines repeat the chorus, highlighting the idea that there's but one way out, but the singer just can't go out the door because there's a man down there who might be his lover's partner. He's trapped on the second floor, and he knows he's foolish to be there in the first place. He anticipates that some man will walk in and take his place.
The singer's anxiety continues to mount throughout the song, as he implores his lover to help him escape. He asks her to raise the window so he can ease out softly and slowly, which suggests that he's trying to avoid detection. The neighbors won't be talking about him either, as they don't know anything about the situation. Overall, the song conveys a sense of urgency and tension, as the singer tries to navigate his way out of a difficult and dangerous situation.

“Let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return”
@eingex
For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."

According my folks, their dads were ww2 vets. My mother's dad was Army, he was part of the D-Day landings. Miraculously, he survived D-Day, fought all through Europe, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and that's where his story ends according to my mother. Obviously he survived the war because my mother is alive. She was born in '61.
My father's dad was in the Navy as a signalman on the ships at D-Day. I don't know anything other than that about him.
Both of these men are why I have my adoptive family today. They didn't live long enough to meet their adoptive grandson, but they know that he is proud of them for what they endured to protect this country and free the world from tyranny.

My Mother had 2 uncles that died in WW2. Both in the Army. One died crossing the Rhein River into Germany, The other died during Market Garden. I have the first one I mentioned purple heart. And other commendations etc. My Father was 12 years old and living in Europe when the War ended. He lived through it as a small child. He rarely talked about what he saw and experienced. He always said, "You don't want to hear or know about what I saw and experienced. Just be happy you were born in the United States." He lost his Father, a sister, and a brother.
