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.
Little Wing
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In every direction
And I need, I need, I need, heaven to show me just little affection.
Oh, cause all of the signs, oh oh
Torn towards bad for me.
And I wish I could get a running start
And soar to my victory.
But, one wing I can't fly with one wing
I can't fly with one wing, oh no
No matter how hard I try, I can't no.
Feels like I'm running out of time,
And I gotta whole lot of things on my mind
And I'm walking around in the dark, oh oh
Trying to find just a little peak of sunshine
No, no oh I did everything to make it work,
But, still I'm at a loss.
Now, I'm on a runaway of my life oh
Waiting to take off, but I-I-I
Can not fly with one wing.
Heaven I'm gonna need some help yeah, fly with one wing
I can't I Cant I Cant fly with one wing, oh no
No matter how hard I try, I can't no.
Always on my knees, always on my knees
Oh, I been on my knees many of nights, praying
For the coming of my victory, Yeah
But there's always something there in the way to delay my flight
I just can't get off my feet
To reach my destiny,
Though it's where I can see
It's just to high to reach, no.
I can't I can't I can't fly with one wing!
Yeah, fly with one wing!
No, I can't fly, fly with one wing.
I can't fly with one wing, oh no
No matter how hard I try, I can't no.
I can pray all I want, sister.
Fly with one wing, no
Fly with one wing, I can't I can't I can't
Fly, fly, fly, fly.
I can't fly with one wing, but I can't
I can't fly with one wing, I can't
I can't fly with one wing, I can't.
Oh oh oh.

To u sing in your quarentine:
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairly tales,
That's all she ever thinks about...
Riding the wind
When i'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, she says,
It's alright,
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.
Fly on, little wing.
@jethrocareras9350
Well she's walking
Through the clouds
With a certain smile
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and
Fairytales
Riding with the wind
Oh, when I'm sad
She comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
"It's alright!" she said "It's alright!"
Take anything you want from me
Anything!

His screams are tops, but so many forget he can sing so well. His lower register and quiver are perfect. Band is incredible too.
