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.
I Want To Break Free
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to break free,
Oh how I want to break free
But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone wow, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free
I've got to break free
I've want to break free
I want. I want. I want.
I want to break free
The lyrics of "I Want to Break Free" by Various Artists narrate a story of a person who feels trapped in a situation or a relationship and wants to break free from it. The opening lines, "I want to break free from your lies, You're so self-satisfied I don't need you," suggest that the person is addressing someone who has been dishonest with them and is self-absorbed. The repeated use of the phrase "God knows" emphasizes the intensity of the desire to break free and the importance of the decision. The person has fallen in love and feels genuine happiness in the relationship, but the desire for freedom is stronger than their love.
The line "It's strange but it's true, I can't get over the way you love me like you do" implies that the person appreciates the love they receive but feels that it is not enough to outweigh the need for independence. The chorus, "Oh how I want to be free, baby, Oh how I want to break free," expresses the person's desperation for freedom in a relationship without coming off as harsh or confrontational. The final verse suggests that the person is resigned to the fact that they will have to make it on their own and break free from the situation, even if it means living without the love they have grown accustomed to.

@Tauraaa
On the last day at my old job that I really hated, I played this song out loud. I felt like such a prisoner at that job, whenever Freddie sang "oh how i want to be free" i almost started crying because I was so thankful to be quitting. That song takes me back to that moment and im so greatful.
