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.
In Your Eyes
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come a little bit closer, let me whisper in your eyes
When I whisper in your eyes, don't think, don't blink
Hey, girl, shh, shush, close your lips and open your eyes
I want your eyes to hear my lips and also my eyes
I want your lips and your eyes to come together as one
So that your eyes can see your lips
And when lip-eyes come together in that type of direction and place
You can see my lips and my lips can see your eyes
And pretty much that's what's gonna happen between the two of us
And then your lip-eyes will see the sun come up
And we'll love the sun in the mornin' together
And then one day, our lip-eyes will see the nighttime
Even though that it's dark
You'll still be able to see the
The moon with your lip-eyes
