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 ↴
Impaciente e indeciso
E ainda estou confuso
Só que agora é diferente
Estou tão tranquilo e tão contente
Quantas chances desperdicei
Quando o que eu mais queria
Que eu não precisava
Provar nada pra ninguém
Me fiz em mil pedaços
Pra você juntar
E queria sempre achar
Explicação pro que eu sentia
Como um anjo caído
Fiz questão de esquecer
Que mentir pra si mesmo
É sempre a pior mentira
Mas não sou mais
Tão criança a ponto de saber tudo
Já não me preocupo se eu não sei por que
Às vezes o que eu vejo quase ninguém vê
E eu sei que você sabe, quase sem querer
Que eu vejo o mesmo que você
Tão correto e tão bonito
O infinito é realmente
Um dos deuses mais lindos
Sei que às vezes uso
Palavras repetidas
Mas quais são as palavras
Que nunca são ditas?
Me disseram que você
Estava chorando
E foi então que eu percebi
Como lhe quero tanto
Já não me preocupo se eu não sei por que
Às vezes o que eu vejo quase ninguém vê
E eu sei que você sabe quase sem querer
Que eu quero mesmo que você

Enho andado distraído
I have been distracted
Impaciente e indeciso
Impatient and indecisive
E ainda estou confuso
And I am still confused
Só que agora é diferente
But now it's different
Estou tão tranquilo e tão contente
I am so calm and happy now
Quantas chances desperdicei
How many chances have I wasted
Quando o que eu mais queria
When what I wanted most
Era provar pra todo o mundo
Was to prove to the whole world
Que eu não precisava
That I didn't need
Provar nada pra ninguém
To prove anything to anyone
Me fiz em mil pedaços
I shattered into a thousand pieces
Pra você juntar
For you to put back together
E queria sempre achar
I always wanted to find
Explicação pro que eu sentia
An explanation for what I was feeling
Como um anjo caído
Like a fallen angel
Fiz questão de esquecer
I made sure to forget
Que mentir pra si mesmo
That lying to oneself
É sempre a pior mentira
Is always the worst lie
Mas não sou mais
But I am no longer
Tão criança a ponto de saber tudo
Such a child as to know everything
Já não me preocupo se eu não sei por que
I no longer worry if I do not know why
Às vezes o que eu vejo quase ninguém vê
Sometimes what I see, almost no one sees
E eu sei que você sabe, quase sem querer
And I know that you know, almost unintentionally
Que eu vejo o mesmo que você
That I see the same thing as you
Tão correto e tão bonito
So correct and so beautiful
O infinito é realmente
The infinity is really
Um dos deuses mais lindos
One of the most beautiful gods
Sei que às vezes uso
I know that sometimes I use
Palavras repetidas
Repeated words
Mas quais são as palavras
But what are the words
Que nunca são ditas?
That are never said?
Me disseram que você
They told me that you
Estava chorando
Were crying
E foi então que eu percebi
And it was then that I realized
Como lhe quero tanto
How much I want you
Já não me preocupo se eu não sei por que
I no longer worry if I do not know why
Às vezes o que eu vejo quase ninguém vê
Sometimes what I see, almost no one sees
E eu sei que você sabe quase sem querer
And I know that you know, almost unintentionally
Que eu quero mesmo que você
That I really want you
