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 ↴
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've got no place to go
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow
Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But, if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still good-by-ing
But, as long as you love me so
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow
Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
Since the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow
When we finally say goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But, if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow! let it snow
The lyrics to "Let It Whip" by Various Artists have not been provided. It seems that the lyrics provided in the initial prompt are actually for the classic song "Let It Snow!" by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne.
"Let It Snow!" is a beloved Christmas song that has been covered by countless artists since its original release in 1945. The song's lyrics describe a cozy scene inside with a fire burning bright while a winter storm rages outside. The singer is content to stay inside with their loved one, enjoying the warmth and comfort of being together. The repetition of the chorus encourages the listener to embrace the winter weather and find joy in it.
Interestingly, Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne wrote "Let It Snow!" during a record heatwave in Hollywood. They were inspired to write a song that evoked the image of a snowy Christmas despite the warm weather outside.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
The current weather conditions are undesirable and potentially dangerous
But the fire is so delightful
However, the warmth of the fire is providing comfort and pleasure
And since we've got no place to go
As we have nowhere to be, we might as well enjoy the current situation
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow
Embracing the snow and accepting the current weather conditions as they are
Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall is predicted to continue for an unknown amount of time
And I've brought some corn for popping
To make the most of being snowed in, snacks have been prepared for enjoyment
The lights are turned way down low
To create a cozy ambiance, the lighting has been dimmed
When we finally kiss goodnight
As the night comes to a close, a goodnight kiss is shared
How I'll hate going out in the storm
The thought of venturing into the inclement weather is unpleasant
But, if you really hold me tight
However, the physical comfort of being embraced by a loved one can make the journey tolerable
All the way home I'll be warm
Feeling warm and cared for during the journey home
The fire is slowly dying
The fire is beginning to fade and lose its warmth and glow
And my dear, we're still good-by-ing
Although it is time to depart, the bond between the two is still strong
But, as long as you love me so
The love between the two is a source of comfort and strength
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow
Accepting and enjoying the snowfall, despite its potential difficulties
When we finally say goodnight
The time has come to say farewell for the night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
Once again expressing reluctance to face the inclement weather
But, if you'll really hold me tight
Having faith that the comfort and support of a loved one can make the journey bearable
All the way home I'll be warm
Knowing that the journey home will be made more comfortable by the love and support of a partner
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
Reiterating the initial assessment of the weather conditions
But the fire is so delightful
Underlining the importance of the warmth of the fire in such conditions
And since we've no place to go
Confirming that there is nowhere to be, and the current situation can be embraced
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow
Once again embracing the snowfall and accepting the beauty of the moment
Let it snow, let it snow! let it snow
Encouraging the continuation of the snowfall and continued enjoyment of the situation
