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.
Last Night
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You told me secrets that
You never told a soul
You were so nervous and
Yet oh so comfortable
As we explored
your image of love
I drank your wine
I kissed your lips you
felt my body slip Into your soul
I almost cried
cuz it was so beautiful
Last Night I was inside of you
Last Night while making
love to you
I saw the sun, the moon
the mountains and the rivers
I saw heaven when
I made sweet love to you
Last night there was
no believing it
It was so special
And so very innocent
We talked of memories
Our favorite fantasies
As we explored our
visions of love
Deep in the night
Right by the fireside
You felt my candlelight
in your soul
You felt in credible
I started to explode
I almost cried cuz it
was so beautiful
Last Night I was inside of you
Last Night while making
love to you
I saw the sun, the moon
the mountains and the rivers
I saw heaven when
I made sweet love to you
Sunlight, red roses
The scent of you it
calms the heart
The sight of you I fall apart
Moonlight, the things
we noticed
Oh we're in love
That's when it comes
and I'm so, I'm so in love
Last Night I was inside of you
Last Night while making
love to you
I saw the sun, the moon
the mountains and the rivers
I saw heaven when
I made sweet love to you
Last Night I was inside of you
Last Night while making
love to you
I saw the sun, the moon
the mountains and the rivers
I saw heaven when
I made sweet love to you
Last Night I was inside of you
Last Night while making
love to you
I saw the sun, the moon
the mountains and the rivers
I saw heaven when
I made sweet love to you
