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.

The message is time eternal.
My Dad was killed in an auto wreck when I was a 9 year old 4th grader. Now 52 years later I can still shed a tear when I think of things done and time spent with him, and this song in particular can make those tears flow.
For most of my entire life Chapin's tune has served as a reminder.
When I was a high school freshman, we had a stereo in our Advanced English class so we could listen to commercial-free FM radio while writing. That was a big deal at the time especially for the relatively small town community where I went to school. I remember one afternoon after Cats in the Cradle aired, hard-nosed Irish disciplinarian Mr. Hollahan shut off the stereo receiver and asked the entire class to chime in and talk about what we all had just listened to, the ballad sung, and how one should aspire to live. I don't remember all of my classmates' individual responses, but I was glad I was not called upon. Hearing Cats in the Cradle that day had not brought me to tears, but the lump in my throat would have made it tough to talk and express my own experience and feelings. It had not been that many years prior to that early September 1969 morning I was really looking forward to because I was going to get to ride my bike to school, but not long after awakening knowing I had overslept and that something was wrong when I heard our family friend Shirley McArthur's voice downstairs only to soon learn my Dad had been killed on the Pit 1 Grade the night before driving home.
Now, I am a husband and father with a 14 year old son and an 18 year old princess. I endeavor to provide for my bride and family, I work hard, travel too damn much for work, but with the exception of a rare day when I only get to speak with my bride when I am on the road, I make absolutely sure my children hear me say "I love you" each and everyday. Yes, Chapin's song has had a nearly life long impact on me and maybe they don't realize it, but my own children too.
Subsequently, fathers young and old, remember to major in the majors. Only we can be our bride's husband, provider, protector, lover, and confidant, and only we can be our childrens' guide, protector, and father. No job, career, profession, or business can ever match what a good man of steel and velvet and a rock solid father can accomplish.

Lyrics:
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad"
"You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw, I said-a, not today
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay
And he, he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?
He shook his head, and they said with a smile
What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
We're gonna have a good time then

The song "Cats in the Cradle" strikes a chord with me as I see myself repeating the same mistakes as my father did. My dad lost his life when I was just 12 due to his job, and I wished things would have been different. I have been fortunate enough not to have gone through what my dad did, but I have repeated his mistake of not being present in my kids' lives.
As a parent, I now understand the importance of balancing work and family time. However, due to the divorce and the distance between us, I have not been able to see my sons as much as I would have liked to. Time flies so quickly, and I always thought that I would soon have the time to be with them more often, but it has not happened.
Life has come full circle now as I see my sons doing what my dad did and what I did. They are busy with their lives, just like I was. But now, I am regretting not having spent more time with them, just like my dad regretted it in his final moments.
Now that my sons are adults, I am always thinking about the mistake I made for not being there for them enough. I understand the impact that my absence has had on their lives, and I am making a conscious effort to be present in their lives now through social media platforms. Although I cannot turn back time, I hope to make up for the lost time and create new memories that we can all cherish.
My experience is a reminder to all of us to prioritize spending quality time with our families, despite the challenges that life throws at us. Please don't let work or other distractions get in the way of creating lasting memories with your loved ones..

@@polinapegasou5199 its a cycle, The first man becomes a father then raises His son. Then the son becomes a father and becomes exactly the way the first man was, and finally the son realizing that his grandfather and his father were the exact same way...
The grandfather:
" Son, I don't know when "
The father:
" My Boy Was just like me, yeah "
The son:
" I'd love to dad, If I could find the time "
I think the point of the video and the song is that the father was always away due to his work, and thus having an impact to the psyche of his son and his son becoming a father does the exact same thing( go away for work) until [ young Norman Reedus ] who plays as the grandson and son realizes the cycle.. or something like that... But I could be wrong though
@Kacper__M
Back when it was released, it was just a cool rock song. Now, as a dad, I can't listen to it without crying, oh man...
