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.

Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We come together every time
Two wrongs, no rights,
We lose ourselves at night
And from the outside, from the outside,
Everyone must be wondering why we try.
Why do we try?
Baby, in our wildest moments,
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,
Baby, in our wildest moments,
We could be the worst of all
Baby, in our wildest moments,
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,
Maybe in our wildest moments,
We could be the worst of all
Oo-ooh. Oo-ooh.
Rain on, a thunder sky,
Wherever there's smoke, there'll soon be fire
What could bring bad luck,
I've been looking at you too much
And from the outside, from the outside,
Everyone must be wondering why we try.
Why do we try?
Baby, in our wildest moments,
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,
Maybe in our wildest moments,
We could be the worst of all
Baby, in our wildest moments,
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,
Maybe in our wildest moments,
We could be the worst of all
In the middle of it,
We walk, we walk the line
Looking back I miss it,
Our wildest moments
Are you thinking what if,
What if we ruined it all?
My wrecking ball
And from the outside, from the outside,
Everyone must be wondering why we try.
Why do we try?
Baby, in our wildest moments,
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,
Maybe in our wildest moments,
We could be the worst of all
Baby, in our wildest moments,
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,
Maybe in our wildest moments,
We could be the worst of all

However, the lovers hold onto their wildest moments, which cause them to be the best or the worst of all. They take a chance and walk the line, acknowledging that they might ruin it all, but their connection is worth it.
The chorus of the song is catchy, with the repetition of the line, "Baby, in our wildest moments, we could be the greatest, we could be the worst of all."

The reference to a "thunder sky" and "smoke" represents the tension in their relationship and the possibility that things might go wrong. The line "My wrecking ball" implies that the lover is destructive and could ruin everything if they're not careful.
In conclusion, "Moments" is a song about the trials and tribulations of love. It speaks to how love can be intense, beautiful, and ugly at the same time. The song encourages people to appreciate their wildest moments, which can make their relationship the best or the worst of all.

Mojo confused Queen at Live Aid 1985, with The Freddie Mercury Memorial Concert, Spring of 1992.
Live Aid was about raising money for relief in Ethiopia famine, while the Memorial Concert was the first introduction of The Mercury Phoenix Trust which raises money for HIV/AIDS around the world to this day.
Live Aid specifically was for relief due to the Ethiopia famine and was broadcast live from Wembley Stadium as well as John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia which were broadcast simultaneously. Wembley had 73,000 attendees, while the Philadelphia concert was attended by 81,000 plus people.
Both concerts had top artists performing, and Live Aid was stolen by Queen and as Brian May was quoted to had said, That was the moment the entire world loved Queen.
At first, Queen declined the invitation, but later decided to play there. For one ☝️ week before the concert, Queen practiced every day and honed the songs they were going perform into a 20 minute (their allotted time) mini-concert where they played 5 songs which were the best of Queen’s career. They practiced the set several times in the stadium itself, finagling with the sound to produce the best quality of sound where everyone would be able to hear the lyrics clearly, and produced the loudest sound allowed by the concert. Their sound engineer worked out how to get maximum sound without going over the decibels level required. They knew exactly how to fill the 20 minute gig, including time for Freddie interacting with the audience. By the time they took the stage late into the concert, most people there were there to hear their favorite band, and paid little attention to other performers. The second Freddie started playing piano, he had the audience enthralled. Even backstage, the performers paid attention to the next 20 minutes of pure perfection by Queen. While the dual concert would switch back and forth to performers, when Queen started, the cameras stayed on them for the full 20 minutes. Brian May would later recall that he knew the moment when everyone in the world fell in love with Queen.
The Freddie Mercury Memorial concert featured top artists who would perform Queen songs with remaining Queen members playing the songs. Artists included stars like Elton John, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, Guns N Roses’s Axel Rose and Slash, Annie Lennox and David Bowie, Luciano Pavarotti (one of Mercury’s favorite opera singers) and many more. George Michaels stole the concert performing “Love of My Life” flawlessly, where he drew in the crowd to sing the lyrics with him just as Freddie had always done. He was definitely channeling Freddie when he sang it.
Two powerful performances, but definitely the Live Aid performance should have been in at least the top 5, if not at number 1. The entire world stopped what they were doing to watch Queen.

Yeah, The Beatles on Sullivan is #1 and then a huge gap to whatever you want to put at #2.
That moment is the beginning of pop music and youth culture being intertwined into the fabric of society which would last until the end of the century before the world “shrunk” due to technology and music in general holding a lesser place in youth/pop culture.
That’s why I really appreciate all the movements in modern music that came after The Beatles: psychedelic, heavy metal, prog rock, punk, new wave, and my favorite -being a Gen X’er - alternative/grunge…just to name a few movements/revolutions.
Since the end of the 20th century, basically the end of grunge/alternative, music hasn’t had a prominent role in defining or expressing youth culture like it once did. I really miss that in general and think all the generations after X are kind of deprived on that front.
The spirit of this truism started with The Beatles on Sullivan which was before I was even born but I fully recognize that and appreciate it. What the Beatles gave us was magical because each subsequent movement/revolution was directly influenced by them. For my generation, guys like Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder let this be known in words as well as in their music.

What’s even more amazing is that he was able to successfully conduct it in its premier performance without being able to hear a single note.
