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 Strong
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I am familiar with the way your eyes look in the morning sunshine
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
I sense the physical contact made between us when it rains heavily
And the moment that you wander far from me
Whenever you go away from me for a short while
I wanna feel you in my arms again
I desire to hold you tight in my arms once again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
You approach me gently like a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
You warm me with your love and then tactfully slip away
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
You should prove to me how strong and ardent your love is for me
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really need to learn
I want to comprehend and appreciate the extent of your affection towards me
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
The world we live in is unkind to us and weakens our connection
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Others should let us be and acknowledge that we are meant for each other
I believe in you
I have trust in you
You know the door to my very soul
You are aware of my innermost feelings and thoughts
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You are the only one who gives me hope in times of utter despair
You're my saviour when I fall
You rescue me when I stumble and falter
And you may not think
I care for you
You might assume that I do not have any feelings for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
But deep down inside, I wholeheartedly cherish and adore you
