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.
How I Feel
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?
I ain't trying to do what everybody else doing
Just ‘cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know—I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home
So am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
But that's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel, trying to reach the things that I can't see
Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction—
I'mma be on top of the world
Walk your walk and don't look back
Always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life
That's just how I feel
Fight for yours and don't let go
Don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone
That's just how we feel
So am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong for trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel, trying to reach the things that I can't see
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong for trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel, trying to reach the things that I can't see
So am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong for trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel, trying to reach the things that I can't see
The lyrics of "How I Feel" by Various Artists tell a story of self-discovery, independence, and courage. The artist asks if they are wrong or crazy for wanting to deviate from the norm and carve their own path. They refuse to do what everyone else is doing just to fit in because they know they will fall but also grow. The artist is confident in their vision despite the criticism they may face along the way. They want to be on top of the world and fight for what they believe in. The artist acknowledges that this road they are walking is their own, and they call it home.
The chorus repeats the question of whether the artist is wrong for thinking they could be something for real and for trying to reach the things they can't see. However, they are not deterred and conclude by stating, "That's just how I feel, trying to reach the things that I can't see."
This song encourages individuals to trust themselves, follow their own intuition, and not be afraid to deviate from the norm. The artist wants to inspire others to be who they are and not let anyone else control their life.
