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 Wonder
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I wonder if you ever think about me when your bored
And I wonder if you ever think about me when you're hangin' in New York
And I wonder if you still think Bono writes his songs for you
And I wonder if the reasons why you left me were untrue
And I wonder if you give him more excuses from the ones I got from you
Girl you mean
So much to me
I wish that we
Could start it over, start it over
I don't need your sympathy or apologies
Still I'm staring in my coffee cup it's six A. M
And I cannot give up
And I wonder if you're happy or just glad to see me scarred
Did my drunk compelled confessions sobered up completing hard
I am bending over backwards to get close to you but still I feel so far
Because
Girl you mean
So much to me
I wish that we
Could start it over, start it over
I don't need your sympathy or apologies
Still I'm staring in my coffe cup at six am
And I cannot give up
Girl you mean
So much to me
I wish that we could start it over
I don't need your sympathy or apologies
No more
Girl you mean
So much to me
I wish that we
Could start it over, start it over
I don't need your sympathy or apologies
I just want you here with me
The lyrics of "I Wonder" by Various Artists depict a sense of longing and deep desire for someone who has been left behind. The singer wonders whether their love interest ever thinks about them anymore, particularly when they are bored or in New York City. The mention of Bono suggests that the relationship may have been based on a shared love for music, but the singer now wonders whether their partner ever truly appreciated them. The lyrics also suggest that the relationship may have ended for reasons that were not entirely truthful, leaving the singer feeling confused and hurt.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses a desire to reconnect with their love interest, despite the pain they have caused. The repeated lines "Girl you mean so much to me" emphasize the depth of emotion involved, while the refusal to accept sympathy or apologies highlights the complexity of the situation. The final line, "I just want you here with me", shows that the singer is willing to put aside any hurt they may have experienced in order to be with the person they love.
Overall, "I Wonder" is a poignant reflection on love and loss, with lyrics that capture the complicated emotions that can arise in a relationship.

Lyrics:
Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven O'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hotlines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

I lost my brother a few years ago. He introduced me to Kanye. I remember watching him purchase this album at a store. We would sit down and talk about how Kanye is an amazing artist with the mind of a unique individual. To this day this album will always be my favorite album of all time! This was was my big brothers favorite. Still have that CD in a safe.
