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.
Harvest for the World
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky
But now I've grown beyond the walls to where I've never been
And it's still winter in my wonderland
[Chorus:]
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting to let my world come undone
I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
The farther off and already it just might make the life I lead
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who I am to You
[Chorus:]
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone
When I catch the light of falling stars my view is changing me
My view is changing me
I'm waiting...
The lyrics of this song, "Waiting for the Son", speak to the idea of being stuck in a stagnant and unfulfilling place, but holding onto hope for change. The opening lines express a feeling of being disconnected from one's own life and not understanding how they got there. Despite feeling trapped, the singer has grown beyond their current situation and is ready to embrace something new, something that will shake up their world and bring color and life to their surroundings. The chorus is a repetition of this desire for change and growth, while also acknowledging that it may be a waiting game - waiting for the world, scene, and colors to come to them.
The second verse shifts the focus to a more internal struggle, as the singer tries to see beyond the surface of their own life and find something deeper and truer. They long for an unbroken world where they can be fully themselves without the pressure to conform. This yearning for authenticity is tied to their faith, as they seek to live a life that reflects their connection to a higher power.
Overall, "Waiting for the Son" is a song about resilience, hope, and the courage to keep waiting for something better, even when it seems out of reach. The lyrics invite listeners to consider their own lives and the changes they may be longing for, while also offering comfort and solidarity to those who feel stuck in a winter wonderland.

All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
When will there be a harvest for the world
A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
When will there be a harvest for the world
Gather everyman, gather everywoman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
Gather everyone, gather all together
Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world
Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
Nation after nation, turning into beast
When will there be a harvest for the world

In portuguese (regards from Brazil): Todos os bebês juntos, todos uma semente
Metade de nós está satisfeita, metade necessitada
O amor é generoso em nós, manchado por nossa ganância
Quando haverá uma colheita para o mundo
Uma nação plantada, tão preocupada com o ganho
À medida que as estações vão e vêm, maior cresce a dor
E muitos sentindo a tensão
Quando haverá uma colheita para o mundo
Reúna todos os homens, reúna todas as mulheres
Comemorem suas vidas, agradeçam por seus filhos
Reúna todos, reúna todos juntos
Sem olhar para ninguém, esperando que a vida melhore para o mundo
Vista-me para a batalha, quando tudo que eu quero é paz
Aqueles de nós que pagam o preço voltam para casa com menos
Nação após nação, transformando-se em besta
Quando haverá uma colheita para o mundo

When I hear this song I always think of God's promise that there will be a harvest for the world in the near future! Just trust in our Lord!
I have an important message for everyone about God’s Kingdom! That Kingdom is a heavenly government that will soon destroy all worldly governing parties and will rule in righteousness from heaven forever! The day of our sovereign Lord, and only true God Jah, is very near! He is eager to give all righteous people eternal life in His coming paradise here on earth! There will also be a resurrection of the dead, and they will live again! But to live eternally in His paradise, we must exercise faith in Him and His Son Jesus Christ, as written in His Word! The Bible is absolutely true and trustworthy, and you will become perfect and live forever in paradise if you worship the only true God Jah! This is not a fantasy, but a reality! It's up to us to accept God's loving offer while we still can, the day draws near when He will judge this world…
Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever".
Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come".
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
John 5:28,29 “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation”.
John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent".

I've read the Isleys interpretation of the song.
As for myself, studying God's word The Bible helps me understand that a physical and spiritual harvest awaits, bringing true blessings to ALL humankind.
