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 of My Life
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, you are
Yes, you are
Yes, you are, you are
[Incomprehensible]
My heart belongs to you
You're the happiness I know I can depend on
There's a river full of love I can rely on
I said, you and I have faced troubled times before
Because of you, I live needing nothing more
Where you are my heart isn't very far
So promise me now we'll always be forever
Everyday I wake
And every night I dream
Of one thing in life I'm sure of
You are the love of my life, yes, you are
Never should there be
One moment lived without you
Nothing I'd change about you
You are the love of my life
My life is who you are
All I want to do is simply rest in your arms
You chase away this loneliness
In the middle of the storm I'm lost in heaven
You and I have come through the rains before
Because of you I live wanting nothing more
Where you are my heart can't be very far
So promise me now we'll always be forever
Everyday I wake
And every night I dream
Of one thing in life I'm sure of
You are the love of my life, yes, you are
Never should there be
One moment lived without you
Nothing I'd change about you
You are the love of my life
You're the summer breeze
And yes, my inspiration
Song I sing, my salvation
You are the love of my life
Trust me when I say
That I can't live without you
You're in my heart
Now that we are, forever we'll be
Baby, you are the love of my life
You are
Never should there be
One moment lived without you
Nothing I'd change about you
You are the love of my life
Everyday I wake
And every night I dream
Of one thing in life I'm sure of
You are the love of my life, yes, you are
Never should there be
One moment lived without you
Nothing I'd change about you
You are the love of my life
Everyday I wake
And every night I dream
Of one thing in life I'm sure of
You are the love of my life, yes, you are
Never should there be
One moment lived without you
Nothing I'd change about you
You are the love of my life
Everyday I wake
And every night I dream
Of one thing in life I'm sure of
