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.

At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
Think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
With an ironclad fist
I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away
Each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night
To see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
"Baby, blind love is true"
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Ooh yeah
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses
The lyrics to "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi capture the state of vulnerability, longing, and conflicting emotions experienced by the singer. The song begins with the singer feeling wasted and wounded, sitting at the piano, trying to capture a moment of uncertainty. The reference to a bottle of vodka and a nightmare from a past encounter with a blonde woman suggest a state of intoxication and regret.
As the song progresses, the singer dreams about movies that won't be made about him after his death, indicating a desire for a legacy and recognition. The lyrics also mention a longing for love, truth, and the deep connection the singer feels for their partner. The chorus expresses the desire to lay the person down in a bed of roses, despite the struggles and hardships faced by the singer. There's a yearning to be close and intimate, similar to the bond between the Holy Ghost and one's faith.
The second verse reveals the singer's distance from their loved one and their struggles to return home. The use of a payphone symbolizes the limitations of communication and the constant feeling of running out of time. The lyrics convey the singer's willingness to endure hardships and give up a king's ransom just to be reunited with their partner.
In the third verse, the lyrics shift to a hotel bar, where the singer finds temporary solace. The imagery of the barkeeper's crooked wig and the humorous encounter suggests a momentary diversion from the loneliness that persists. However, the chorus reiterates the depth of the singer's love and devotion, willing to lay the person down in a bed of roses and defend them at all costs.
Overall, "Bed of Roses" explores themes of love, longing, sacrifice, and the complexities of relationships. It showcases the raw emotions and inner turmoil of the singer while highlighting their unwavering dedication to their loved one.

Sitting here wasted and wounded
I am sitting here feeling intoxicated and hurt
At this old piano
At this aged piano
Trying hard to capture
Putting in a lot of effort to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
I am uncertain about the moment this morning
'Cause a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my head
Because I still have a bottle of Vodka's effects in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
And someone with blonde hair gave me unsettling dreams
Think that she's still in my bed
I believe that she is still in my bed
As I dream about movies
While I fantasize about being in movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
They will not make movies about me after I've passed away
With an ironclad fist
With a firm and unwavering determination
I wake up and french kiss the morning
I wake up and passionately embrace the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
While a marching band plays its own rhythm in my mind
While we're talking
While we are engaged in conversation
About all of the things that I long to believe
About all the things that I deeply desire to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
About love, the truth, and your significance in my life
And the truth is
And the reality is
Baby you're all that I need
Darling, you are everything I need
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
I desire to place you gently on a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Because tonight, I will sleep on an uncomfortable bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Oh, I want to be as intimately close as the Holy Ghost
And lay you down on a bed of roses
And lay you down on a bed adorned with beautiful roses
Well I'm so far away
Well, I am geographically distant
Each step that I take is on my way home
Every step I take brings me closer to home
A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night
I would give a substantial amount each night
To see through this payphone
In order to be able to make a call from this payphone
Still I run out of time
However, I still run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Or it is difficult to connect
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
Until the bird on the wire transports me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
I will simply close my eyes and softly murmur
"Baby, blind love is true"
"Darling, love that is not based on sight is genuine"
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
Well, the whiskey I drank at this hotel bar is no longer available
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
The bartender's wig is askew
And she's giving me the eye
And she is giving me a suggestive look
Well I might have said yeah
Well, I might have agreed
But I laughed so hard I think I died
But I laughed so intensely that it felt like I died
Now as you close your eyes
Now, as you shut your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
Know that I will be contemplating about you
While my mistress she calls me
While my lover calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
To once again be in the center of her attention
Tonight I won't be alone
Tonight I will not be lonely
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
But you know that does not imply I am not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
I have nothing to demonstrate
For it's you that I'd die to defend
Because I would die to protect you
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
I desire to place you gently on a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Because tonight, I will sleep on an uncomfortable bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
I want to be as intimately close as the Holy Ghost
And lay you down on a bed of roses
And lay you down on a bed adorned with beautiful roses

Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano,
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head,
And some blonde gave me nightmares.
I think that she's still in my bed.
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead.
With an ironclad fist I wake up and French-kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe:
About love, the truth, what you mean to me.
And the truth is,
Baby, you're all that I need.
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,
And lay you down on a bed of roses.
Well, I'm so far away.
Each step that I take is on my way home.
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay-phone.
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through.
'Til the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
"Baby, blind love is true."
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,
And lay you down on a bed of roses.
Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry.
The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye.
Well, I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died.
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you.
While my mistress—she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again.
Tonight I won't be alone,
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend.
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,
And lay you down.
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,
And lay you down on a bed of roses.
