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.
Kyrie
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Wind Blows Hard Against This
Mountain Side, Across The Sea Into My Soul
It Reaches Into Where I Cannot Hide, Setting My Feet Upon The Road
My Heart Is Old, It Holds My Memories, My Body Burns A Gemlike Flame
Somewhere Between The Soul And Soft
Machine, Is Where I Find Myself Again
Kyrie Eleison, Through The Darkness Of The Night
Kyrie Eleison, Where I'm Going Will You Follow
Kyrie Eleison, On A Highway In The Light
When I Was Young I Thought Of Growing
Old, Of What My Life Would Mean To Me
Would I Have Followed Down My Chosen
Road, Or Only Wished What I Could Be
(Chorus Repeats Out...)
The song Kyrie by Various Artists reflects on the journey of life, the search for meaning and purpose, and the desire for guidance and support along the way. The title, Kyrie Eleison, translates to "Lord, have mercy" in Greek and is often used in religious contexts. In the song, the wind represents the challenges and obstacles that one faces in life, and the mountain and sea symbolize the vastness and unpredictability of the journey.
The singer of the song is reflective and introspective, acknowledging the weight of memories and experiences that have shaped them, but also recognizing the burning passion within that keeps them moving forward. The line "Somewhere between the soul and soft machine, is where I find myself again" suggests a struggle to balance the emotional and spiritual aspects of oneself with the practical and mechanical demands of life.
The chorus of the song repeats the plea for mercy and guidance, asking for strength and companionship on the road ahead. The final verse acknowledges the fear and uncertainty of growing old, wondering if the choices made in life will be fulfilling or if there will be regret. Overall, the lyrics of Kyrie are a poignant reminder of the human experience, grappling with the joys and sorrows of existence and seeking meaning in the midst of it all.

그래봤자 늦었어 이젠..
너 병철이 알지? 엄청 심술맞던놈 .
그놈이 가끔 잘놀고 있는 꼬맹이들 불러다가 싸움질 시켰잖아 .
서로 한대씩 때려보라고 말이야.
그럼 이놈들이 처음엔 할수없이 때리는 식으로 하다가
나중엔 진짜로 주먹질을해. 그러다가 아주 원수처럼 싸움질을 하지.
원수라서 싸우는게 아니라.. 싸우다 보니까 원수가 되는거야.. 부모죽고. 형제죽고.
옆에놈 죽어나가니까 그때부터가 진짜 전쟁이지.. 그때부턴 적은 사람이 아니야.
그져 원수고 짐승이고 고깃덩어리지..
그래서 전쟁이란게 끝내기가 어려운거야..
하루 하루 증오가 쌓이거든..
(헛웃음) 진짜... 그놈이 없으니까 말할사람도 없네.
국군: 손들어..!
엿같은전쟁...
