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 ↴
早已過了玉錦繁華的時節
任憑那 滿園紅花落
儘管不捨我們曾有的悸動
終究沒能夠 支撐到最後
就別再藕斷絲連 就別再回頭
我孤身留在一個安靜的角落
獨力去承受 當時的選擇 即使有錯
就讓我們彼此都可以好好過
那些曾經的美好留在心中
那時的分開已經是故事的最終
再留戀只是徒勞和磋跎
就讓我們彼此都可以好好過
時間會癒合了現在的寂寞
再見面也許在不經意多年以後
能笑著說彼此過著的生活
聽說你還繼續打聽我的下落
何必讓遺憾 放肆再重播
轉身去你還有更遠的路要走
別讓這一段 綁住你的夢 你的天空
放了所有 別再執著 OH

早已過了玉錦繁華的時節
The time of youth and vibrance has long passed
任憑那 滿園紅花落
Even as the flowers fall from the garden
儘管不捨我們曾有的悸動
Despite the lingering feeling of what we once had
終究沒能夠 支撐到最後
It ultimately could not last until the end
就別再藕斷絲連 就別再回頭
Don't continue to hold on or look back
熟悉的畫面 只會更難受
Familiar memories only make it harder
我孤身留在一個安靜的角落
Alone in a quiet corner
獨力去承受 當時的選擇 即使有錯
Bearing the consequences of past decisions, even if they were wrong
就讓我們彼此都可以好好過
Let's both live well without each other
那些曾經的美好留在心中
The memories of the good times remain in our hearts
那時的分開已經是故事的最終
The separation was the end of our story
再留戀只是徒勞和磋跎
Holding onto the past is pointless and fruitless
時間會癒合了現在的寂寞
Time will heal the loneliness we feel now
再見面也許在不經意多年以後
We may meet again by chance many years later
能笑著說彼此過著的生活
And be able to laugh and talk about our lives
聽說你還繼續打聽我的下落
I heard you're still asking about me
何必讓遺憾 放肆再重播
Don't let regret keep replaying
轉身去你還有更遠的路要走
Turn around and continue on your own path
別讓這一段 綁住你的夢 你的天空
Don't let this experience hold back your dreams and future
放了所有 別再執著 OH
Let go and move on, don't hold onto it anymore
