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 ↴
I can't keep the tears from my eyes
My son calls another man daddy
The right to his love I've been denied
My son calls another man daddy
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me
Each night I laid there in prison
I pictured a future so bright
For he was the one ray of sunshine
That shone through the darkest of nights
Today his mother shares a new love
She just couldn't stand my disgrace
My son calls another man daddy
And longs for the love he can't replace
My son calls another man daddy
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me
For another to be in my place
The lyrics of "A Man a Man a Man" by Various Artists tell the heart-wrenching story of a father who is denied the right to his son's love. The song opens with the singer's grief for being unable to prevent his son from calling another man "daddy." He is in such pain that he is unable to keep the tears from his eyes. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer had been in prison when his son was growing up. He had pictured a bright future with his son during the darkest of nights, but now, his son's mother has moved on with a new partner. The singer's son now longs for the love that he cannot replace. The song ends on a poignant note with the father still pained by the knowledge that his son calls another man "daddy."
The lyrics of "A Man a Man a Man" intertwine themes of fatherhood, love, loss, and regret. It highlights how deeply losing something - in this case, a father's relationship with his son - can affect a person. The song is simple in structure, but its emotional depth resonates with many people. It speaks to the realities of broken family relationships and the pain of watching someone else raise your child.
Line by Line Meaning
Tonight my head is bowed in sorrow
I feel deeply sad and regretful today
I can't keep the tears from my eyes
I am very emotional and unable to stop crying
My son calls another man daddy
My child refers to someone else as their father
The right to his love I've been denied
I have been denied the chance to be loved by my own child
He'll ne'er know my name nor my face
My child will never know who I am or what I look like
God only knows how it hurts me
Only God knows the pain I am experiencing
For another to be in my place
It is difficult to accept another person taking my role as a father
Each night I laid there in prison
While I was in prison every night
I pictured a future so bright
I imagined a hopeful and positive future for myself and my family
For he was the one ray of sunshine
My child was the only bright spot in my life
That shone through the darkest of nights
Even during difficult times, my child brought me joy and happiness
Today his mother shares a new love
My child's mother has found a new partner
She just couldn't stand my disgrace
She was unable to endure my shameful behavior
And longs for the love he can't replace
My child desires the love and affection I cannot give him
