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.
Cry
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no secret, you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream
Don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotions that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
So let your hair down and go on and cry
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Well now, remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go right on baby and cry
The song "Cry" by Various Artists is a ballad that speaks to the feelings of heartbreak and loss. The song starts by addressing the experience of receiving a letter from a loved one who is leaving, and suggests that crying is a natural and necessary response to the pain that follows. The lyrics go on to describe the experience of waking up from a nightmare and mistaking it for reality, only to realize that the emotions felt during the dream were false. The chorus then repeats the idea that in times of trouble, it's important to remember that sunshine can always be found, even behind the clouds, and that crying can be a way of releasing the sadness and moving on.
Overall, "Cry" is a song that speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the need for emotional release. The sentiment expressed in the lyrics is sad but ultimately optimistic, as it suggests that there is always hope for brighter days ahead, even in the midst of difficult times.

If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
Upon receipt of a farewell letter from your beloved
It's no secret, you'll feel better if you cry
The act of shedding tears can provide comfort in times of grief
When waking from a bad dream
After experiencing a nightmare during sleep
Don't you sometimes think it's real

And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
And the emotional weight you experience intensifies with every passing moment
Remember, sunshine can be found behind the cloudy skies
It's important to remember that hope exists even in the darkest of moments
So let your hair down and go on and cry

So let your hair down and go right on baby and cry

누굴 기다렸나요. 아직 기다리나요.
지친 두 눈 감을 때 우는 가슴 멈출 때
끝까지 기다리던 그 사람 누군가요?
메마른 눈이 감기면 이 세상 놓아지나요.
그대 마른 입술이 꿈에서도 부르던
그 사람의 이름 그 무엇인가요?
우리는 하나죠 그 이름 하나죠
모르는 사이라 말하지 않을게요.
이미 그댄 나의 이웃이요 형제요 모두죠.
다함께 울어요. Cry with us
그대 흐르는 눈물 나의 볼을 따라 흘러요
내가 흘리는 눈물 그대 마음 적시듯
그 오래전부터 우린 하나였죠.
우리는 하나죠 그 이름 하나죠
모르는 사이라 말하지 않을게요.
이미 그댄 나의 이웃이요 형제요 모두죠.
다함께 울어요. Cry with us
지쳐 쓰러져서 의지할 곳 없을 때
가쁜 숨소리만 남아 외면당할 때
그대 내 손 잡아요. 우리 함께 걸어요.
함께 소망하는 내일을 위해
우리는 하나죠 그 이름 하나죠
모르는 사이라 말하지 않을게요.
꼭 잡은 손 이제 놓지 마요. 그 누가 뭐래도
처음부터 우린하나 함께하는 우린 하나 영원히
이미 그댄 나의 이웃이요 형제요 모두죠.
처음부터 우린 하나 우리 함께해요 Cry with us
언제까지 우린 하나 Cry with us
