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.
Broken Heart
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken on the ground
A knife stuck in the ribs of me
Would better than be found
Hanging tree blowing gently
A noose would be ignored
Than to stand upon the receiving end
Like a thirsty cowboy
In a lake his tongue does rest
Jumps in and he cannot swim
Drowns himself to death
Or a frozen mountaineer
He chugs up to a stop
Catching his boot heel in a rock
Two miles from the top
An Olympic super swimmer
Whose belly doesn't flop
A super race car driver
Whose pit, it can't be stopped
A honey dripping hipster
Whose bee cannot be bopped
It's better to be rolled in oats
Than from the roll be dropped
Broken heart would satisfy
Broken in a mess
A seven eye would gratify
My soul, I must confess
I'd rather have no eyes at all
Be blind upon the floor
Than to stand upon the receivin' end
Of the right hand of the Lord
Than to stand upon the receivin' end
Of the right hand of the Lord
The lyrics of "Broken Heart" by Various Artists portray the intense emotions of someone who is going through a difficult time. The opening lines suggest that although a heartbreak can be painful, it is still preferable to the agony of being found alive. The second verse uses the metaphor of a hanging tree to describe how the singer would rather be dead than face the judgment of God. The following verses also use vivid imagery to illustrate how it is better to fail or die trying than never to attempt anything at all. The chorus reiterates that the pain of a broken heart is still better than the alternative, which is facing God's wrath.
One possible interpretation of this song is that the singer is experiencing the existential dread of mortality and the fear of judgment. They would rather die or suffer heartbreak than face the uncertainty of the afterlife. The use of vivid imagery suggests that the singer is grappling with intense emotions that they cannot easily articulate. However, it is also possible that the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of putting too much emphasis on success and achievement. The chorus suggests that the most important thing in life is to be true to oneself and to live without regret.
Overall, "Broken Heart" is a powerful song that captures the complex emotions that arise from facing mortality, heartbreak, and the unknown. Its evocative imagery and haunting melody make it a timeless classic that will continue to resonate with listeners for years to come.
