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.
Dilemma
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Você me atravessa
Sem saber se rola
Eu vou na sua cola
Nenhum problema adoro um dilema
Pra mim tanto faz só quero te ver mais
Aonde eu entro eu sei oque eu enfrento
De te procurar e não te encontrar
Só eu sei o que eu sinto
Quando estou sem você
Mas com você me sinto
Impossivel descrever
Sei que muita gente vive do futuro
Em cima do muro e sem opnião
E outros vivem do passado
Mas isso é errado, agora preste atenção
A gente é diferente, vive o presente
Vive intensamente, segue o coração
E se acaso se desapontar é só se levantar
E não olhar pro chão
Nos amamos muito
Mas nos falamos pouco
Longe de você
Eu piro, fico louco
Me pede pra esperar não sei se eu aguento
Mas por você me amar espero qualquer tempo
Espero não vou embora confio em você
E do contrario agora ninguem vai me convencer
Sei que o tempo passa rapido e eu fico ligado
Apto a contar cada segundo pela frente
E o tempo muda tudo mas nem tudo é mudado
Quando estou do seu lado tudo fica diferente...
Muito mais contente
In the song "Dilemma" by Various Artists, the singer is describing a complicated, but irresistible love. The first verse explains how the person they are singing to makes them feel unsure and vulnerable, but they can't help but be drawn to them. Despite the potential problems, the singer enjoys being in a dilemma because it means they get to spend more time with the person they love. The second verse talks about how being without the person they love makes them feel, and how they are unable to describe the feeling they get when they are with them. The singer also acknowledges the different ways people live their lives, some living in the past and some in the future, but they choose to live in the present and follow their heart. The chorus emphasizes the strong emotions that the singer has for the person they love and how much they miss them when they are not around.
The lyrics of "Dilemma" convey the complex emotions that come with being in love. The song captures the intense longing and desire to be with someone, even when it is difficult. It speaks to the idea that sometimes the heart wants what it cannot have, and that love can be messy and complicated. However, the song also celebrates the magic and transformative power of love, and how it has the ability to make even the most difficult situations feel more joyful.

Sem jeito, sem pressa
I'm hesitant and not in a rush
Você me atravessa
You penetrate my thoughts
Sem saber se rola
Without knowing if it will happen
Eu vou na sua cola
I follow you around
Nenhum problema adoro um dilema
I don't mind a problem, I love a dilemma
Pra mim tanto faz só quero te ver mais
It doesn't matter to me, I just want to see you more
Aonde eu entro eu sei o que eu enfrento
Wherever I go, I know what I'll face
De te procurar e não te encontrar
Searching for you and not finding you
Só eu sei o que eu sinto
Only I know what I feel
Quando estou sem você
When I'm without you
Mas com você me sinto
But with you, I feel
Impossível descrever
Impossible to describe
Sei que muita gente vive do futuro
I know that many people live in the future
Em cima do muro e sem opinião
On the fence and without an opinion
E outros vivem do passado
And others live in the past
Mas isso é errado, agora preste atenção
But that's wrong, now pay attention
A gente é diferente, vive o presente
We are different, we live in the present
Vive intensamente, segue o coração
Living intensely, following our hearts
E se acaso se desapontar é só se levantar
And if we get disappointed, we just need to get up
E não olhar pro chão
And not look down
Nos amamos muito
We love each other so much
Mas nos falamos pouco
But we don't talk much
Longe de você
Far from you
Eu piro, fico louco
I go crazy, I lose my mind
Me pede pra esperar não sei se eu aguento
You ask me to wait, I don't know if I can handle it
Mas por você me amar espero qualquer tempo
But because you love me, I will wait any length of time
Espero não vou embora confio em você
I'll wait, I won't leave, I trust you
E do contrário agora ninguém vai me convencer
And otherwise, no one can convince me
Sei que o tempo passa rápido e eu fico ligado
I know that time passes quickly and I'm alert
Apto a contar cada segundo pela frente
Ready to count every second that lies ahead
E o tempo muda tudo mas nem tudo é mudado
And time changes everything, but not everything is changed
Quando estou do seu lado tudo fica diferente... Muito mais contente
When I'm by your side, everything is different... Much happier
