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 ↴
you will find me at the time I love the best
watching rainbows play on sunlight
pools of water iced from cold nights in the morning
'tis the morning of my life
in the daytime i will meet you as before
you will find me waiting right by the ocean floor
building castles in the shifting sand
in the morning
'tis the morning of my life
'tis the morning of my life
in the morning of my life the minutes takes so long to drif away
please be patient with you're life
it's only morning and you're still to live your day
in the evening i will fly you to the moon
To the top right hand corner of
the ceiling in my room
Where we'll stay until the sun shines
Another day to swing on clothe's lines
May I be yawning
'tis the morning of my life
'tis the morning of my life
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning
The lyrics of "In The Morning" by Various Artists portray the cycle of life through the different times of day. It starts with the singer being at peace during the morning, watching rainbows and iced pools of water. This is the "morning of my life." During the daytime, the singer will meet someone by the ocean, building castles in the sand in a world that nobody understands. Then, the chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of the morning as the beginning of life.
The second verse talks about how time seems to drag on during the morning, but to be patient with life because the day is still early. Finally, in the evening, the singer will take the person he met by the ocean to the moon, where they will stay until morning. This signifies the end of the day and the beginning of a new morning. The overall message of the song is to appreciate the different times of day and the different stages of life.
