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 ↴
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see, how many names such as this
For they both have the very same sensation
Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart
The song "My Foolish Heart", performed by Various Artists, is a song about the dangers of love and the fear of getting hurt. The lyrics describe the night as a beautiful tune, with the ever-constant moon shining so brightly. The singer warns themselves to beware of their foolish heart, as there is often a fine line between love and fascination. It can be hard to tell the difference between the two, as they both give off the same sensation when caught up in the magic of a kiss.
The singer describes feeling apprehensive about the closeness of their lover's lips to their own, but knows that if the two were to share a kiss, the passion and intensity of their love would be ignited. Unlike past relationships that may have been rooted in fascination or infatuation, this time, it's different - it's love.
The song's message is one of caution and apprehension, but also of hope and determination. The singer knows that love can be a dangerous game, but they are willing to take the risk in order to experience the deep, genuine feelings that this new relationship has brought forth.
