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.
Love Is In The Air
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sigh and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea
And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done
And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you
Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
John Paul Young - Love is in the air
The song "Love Is In the Air" by John Paul Young talks about the overwhelming love that surrounds us everywhere we go, from the trees that whisper to the rising sun. The song begins with the chorus, repeating "Love is in the air" and "Everywhere I look around," setting the scene for the theme. The verse talks about how love is present in every sound and every sigh, even when we're not sure if we're being foolish or wise to believe in it. Despite our doubts, love is something that we must believe in, especially when we look into the eyes of someone we love. The bridge of the song brings the idea full circle, repeating the chorus and emphasizing how love can feel like an illusion at times, but it's something that we need to hold onto and believe in.
The lyrics of the song are straightforward and easy to understand, emphasizing the idea of love being a powerful force that surrounds us all. The melody is catchy and upbeat, adding to the joyous feeling of the lyrics. The song was written in 1977 by Australian musicians Harry Vanda and George Young and has since become a popular hit, covered by many artists around the world.
