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 ↴
We need your love today
I know that you are listening
You hear me everyday
Father please hear us
And we will be OK
Father we need you to heal families today
I'm calling on your name
Not Buddha nor Muhammad
But it's Jesus we cry out loud
Father just forgive us
Hear us when we say
We'll give ya, give ya, give you everything our lives and souls today
Father you know we need it
I've never seen so much pain
We have the faith for now
Your victory we will gain

The song "Father" is a cry out for help and love to God. The singer is asking for God's healing power to mend broken families and hearts. The lyrics express that despite the world's different religions, it's only God they turn to for hope and salvation. The lyrics also acknowledge that people have sinned, but they want to surrender their lives and souls to God, seeking forgiveness for their past mistakes. The chorus repeatedly asks God if He can hear the pleas for help, and the bridge invites everyone to join in and declare their love and devotion to Him.
The song is a beautiful and emotional plea for hope and healing in a world that can often feel hopeless. It acknowledges that people are struggling and in pain, and it brings a sense of peace and comfort to those who listen. The song is a reminder that we're never alone, and it's okay to turn to God for help and guidance.
