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.

a lot of the songs are political and draw inspiration from, as kentario1610 has stated, the abrahamic religions
"On the Mountain Tall" was released in 2017 and is about how people weaponize the Bible to further their own agenda
"Though the fire and wind / Shattered down the hills with a rage unbent/And a fear that shook the firmament / He was not within them, the clatter of brass and drums"
the fear-mongerers and rabble-rousers might bluster and bloviate, but He (as in God) is not with them
honestly ngl, I always had a sneaking suspicion that the song was more specifically directed at Donald Trump than anyone else. one of the lines mentions the act of "Firing bricks from broken canon and prose / To build a wall so high it reaches the heavens in the sky," and Trump is infamous for wanting to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border
"Torches" was written in the aftermath of the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally. the entire song is about how violence is perpetuated by the cycle of hate and ignorance
"I got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth / (Running out of my mouth, running out of my mouth) / It's got you burning at the stake / Innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take"
hate groups, such as those present at the charlottesville rally, condemn others who are different from them regardless of whether they are innocent or guilty. it is not about what crimes they've committed so much as it is about how unfamiliar they are
"And Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all / (Brothers of us all, brothers of us all) / As he sets our torch aflame / Chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create"
ignorance binds the bigots together, and they feed into each other's hatred, stirring themselves up to hunt down a perceived threat. the threat does not actually exist, of course. it is a product of their own creation arising from their fear of the unknown
"Over and over, again / We keep that old wheel turning / We spin it around"
thus the cycle of violence continues
"Mandatory Evac/Counting Cars" is supposed to be about Hurricane Harvey, I think? for context, the Heaths live in San Marcos, Texas, so they would've had to evacuate to avoid the storm
"New River" alludes to the story of Noah's Ark and the Flood
"Eurus" is a cautionary tale against the greed exhibited by those with power in the upper echelons of society
"But Zeus and his pantheon of kin / Take the first nine out of every ten / Minas, like lightning changing hands / It all returns back to his pockets, in the end"
Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, takes the wages of others
"You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave / Nothing we make can we bring"
coveting material wealth is useless when the dead have no need for it
"As Fortuna sits idly by / I spin her wheel with all my might / Crushing my kin for warring-wage / Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eye"
greed is a destructive force that leads to conflict
"Hieroglyphs" is about how some Christians are too focused on the soul and what comes after death to care about the body and what's occurring in the present
"Stamping your heels along with the drum / Praying the serpent's underneath one of 'em / Like there's some villain left to defeat / Instead of a dance with a rhythm and beat"
the serpent represents the Devil. According to Christian belief, Jesus's death was the ultimate sacrifice that defeated the Devil, so Christians should not be acting like there's still some great evil for them to destroy
"Cause you've been too busy thinking ahead / Of where we're all going after we're dead / To maybe consider our bodies are worth / More than the dust that we can return"
"Passerine" is about the hypocrisy of Christians, who are supposed to model themselves after Jesus
"Cause you were the song that I'd always sing / You were the light that the fire would bring / But I can't shake this feeling that I was only / Pushing the spear into your side again"
the "you" here refers to Jesus, who the singer recognizes as their song and light. however, they feel as though they aren't acting as they should, expressing the sentiment that they are "Pushing the spear into [his] side again," as the Roman centurions did
"See, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like / Centurions than any little messiah / And as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine / I find that we have fewer and fewer in kind but"
Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah. the word "Christian" literally means "little Christ." saying that their "birds of a kind;" i.e., their fellow Christians, are looking more like centurions than any little messiah once more conveys the idea that Christians are being hypocritical and doing more harm than good
"Boreas" was made in 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown
"Yeah, I’m one spoon away / From setting the ends of my hair on fire / If I’m kindling for a little while / At least I'd feel of use"
While I myself found quarantine to be rather enjoyable, I am aware that many/most people did not/do not share this attitude with me
"Making lists, folding laundry / Keeping tidy with my radio show / I’d be lying if I told you / I’m keeping tidy anymore"
Not everyone is suited to a life of quiet isolation and repetition, and Maggie sings of this
"Rio Grande" is about immigrants and the U.S. border policy
"Somewhere down south of here / There's a woman with an armload of grass / Weaving a basket / That’ll float the Rio Grande / She'll send her baby off in it / The river running wild and fast / To curry the favor / Of whatever Pharaoh owns the land"
like Jochebed, the mother of Moses, this woman on the southern side of the Rio Grande sends her baby away on a river. Jochebed did so to prevent Moses from being killed. were it not for his own safety and protection, she would not have put him in that basket. the people crossing the Rio Grande in hopes of entering the U.S. likewise would not make the journey unless they truly believed that the other side of the river is safer for them than the side they come from

The breeze that gentles the insect's wings. The winds that carry the birds. The gusts that tussle the fur of beasts. The zephyrs that run along the fast.
@ShovelLettuce
That is one hell of a line

@deadmoth9354
I don't really know how to describe it, but these songs make me feel so free that I could cry. It makes me want to be the deer in the glades, the birds in the skies, the squirrels in the trees, the fish in the rivers, the insects in the leaves and the bears in the forests. I fell in love with this music the moment I heard the first song.
