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.

Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout magic
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe, believer?
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe in magic?
"Magic" is a theme that runs through many songs and genres. These lyrics, penned by John Sebastian, reflect how music can change our moods and beliefs. In a young girl's heart, the music can liberate her, and she can be free of stress and anxiety. Once the rhythm has taken hold of you, it becomes groovy, and your soul is freed. This is hard to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it before, much like trying to explain rock and roll to someone who doesn't understand it.
The lyrics urge listeners to believe in the magic of music, no matter what genre it is. Whether it’s jug band music or rhythm and blues, it will start with a smile that won’t go away as long as you keep listening. You won't realize how it has taken you over until your feet start tapping uncontrollably. At this point, it's too late; your mind is blown, and you'll have to dance until morning with only the music and your partner for company. The magic of the music will make you feel alive and connect you to the person you're with.
The chorus repeats, "Do you believe in magic," reinforcing the belief in the transformative power of music, urging the listener to trust in its power to set them free. The song reminds us to believe in magic, the soul of the young girl, and in rock and roll, to never lose sight of the power of music to transform us.

If you believe
You can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans
And walk across the water, the water
You feel defeated, falling on your knees, and
Looking up for some hope tonight
You try to stand up, but you throw your hands up
Like you no longer have the strength to fight
'Cause you've seen too many sunsets
Too many days ending in the darkest night
But, on your own, you'll never know
You'll never know
If you believe
You can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans
Walk across the water, the water
Believe you can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans
Walk across the water
If you believe
They say that all you need is faith
But it's almost like you lost your way
Took a few wrong turns, took a few breaks
Falling behind now, looking for grace
'Cause you need someone to lift you up
Yeah, make right all the things you've done
'Cause on your own, you'll never know
You'll never know
If you believe
You can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans
Walk across the water, the water
Believe you can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans
Walk across the water
If you believe
If you believe, yeah
You can do anything
You can do anything
You can do anything
If you believe
If you believe
You can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans
Walk across the water, the water
Believe you can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans
Walk across the water
If you believe
