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.
Echame a Mi la Culpa
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que me fallaste
que lo que prometiste se te olvidó
sabes a ciencia cierta que me engañaste
aunque nadie te amaba
igual que yo
llena estoy de razones pa' despreciarte
y sin embargo quiero que seas feliz
en este infierno
encuentes gloria
y que una nube de tu memoria
me borre al fin
dile a quien te pregunte
que no te quisé
diles que te engañaba que fui lo peor
échame a mi la culpa
de lo que pase
cúbrete tu la espalda con tu dolor
que allá en el otro mundo en este infierno
encuentres gloria
y que una nube de tu memoria
me borre al fin
échame a mi la culpa
de lo que has hecho
The lyrics of the song Echame A Mi La Culpa by Various Artists are about accepting the failure of a past relationship and taking responsibility for it. The first stanza talks about how the singer was betrayed and lied to by their partner, who also failed to keep their promises. Despite feeling angry and hurt, the singer still wishes their ex-partner happiness and hopes they find peace in the afterlife. In the second stanza, the singer asks their ex-partner to lie about why they broke up, and instead blames it on the singer. They suggest that their ex-partner cover their own pain and shame by putting the blame on them.
