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.

Birds flyin' high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
yeah, its a new dawn its a new day its a new life for me ooooooooh
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel

River runnin' free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
And I'm feelin good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what i mean dont you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Yeah, Freedom is mine, and I know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me

Oh I'm feeling good

Overall Meaning

Nina Simone's version of "Feelin' Good" is one of the most iconic, made famous in part by its association with the popular TV show "The Voice." The lyrics themselves are a celebration of rebirth and new beginnings. The imagery of birds flying high, sun in the sky, and breeze drifting by conjures up feelings of limitless potential and freedom. This mood of optimism and excitement is emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me," driving home the idea that everything is fresh and meaningful once again. Simone's rich, soulful voice lends a particular resonance to these sentiments, conveying the joy and wonder of this newfound sense of freedom.

In contrast, Michael Buble's version of "Feelin' Good" is a more restrained take on the song, with a slightly smoother vocal style and a less overtly emotional delivery. Nonetheless, Buble captures the positivity and hopefulness of the lyrics just as powerfully, with his upbeat phrasing and sharply enunciated verses. His rendition of "Feelin' Good" feels like a call to action, a reminder that no matter how difficult things might seem, there's always a chance to start over and embrace the possibilities of a new beginning.
