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 ↴

I'm on my knees
Only memories are left for me to hold

Dont know how but I'll get by
Slowly pull myself together

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

(I'll get through this)
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

There's no escape so keep me safe
This feels so unreal

Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
(Ah ah oh)
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace
(Ooh)
(Ha)

I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold like from another world

Come what may I wont fade away but I know I might change

Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
(Ah ah ah ah)
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace
(Ooh)
(Da dum)
(Da dum)

Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin
(Ooh)
Nothing can bring me peace
I've lost everything
(Ooh)
I just want to feel your embrace

I love you
I love you
I love you

I love you
I love you
