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 ↴
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it be
Your frozen, when your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
Mmmmmm, If I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, We'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, Give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, You hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you, my heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can I feel what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
The song "Frozen" by Madonna is a powerful ballad that speaks about the pain of emotional isolation and the desire to break through to someone who appears to be closed off to the world. The lyrics describe a person who is "frozen" and unable to open their heart, consumed by feelings of bitterness and regret. The singer pleads with this person to allow themselves to feel love and to break free from their emotional prison.
The first verse speaks of how the person's view of life is limited by what they want to see with their own eyes, and how they are unable to see the potential of what could be. The second verse describes how the person is consumed with material desires and negative emotions, which only lead to a broken heart. The chorus repeats the idea that the person is "frozen" when their heart is closed off, and that only by melting their heart and allowing the love of another to enter can they break free from their isolation and pain.
The bridge of the song offers a moment of hope, suggesting that it is possible for the singer to melt the person's heart and that they could be together forever, if only the person would allow themselves to love. The final verse urges the person to let go of their hurt and embrace the freedom of love, comparing it to a bird that needs to fly in order to be truly happy.
Overall, "Frozen" is a poignant and emotional song that speaks to the human desire for connection and the pain of loneliness and isolation. Through its haunting melody and evocative lyrics, the song offers a message of hope, encouraging listeners to open their hearts and allow love to break through.
