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.
Morning
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We went to all the honky-tonks, we really got around
She's five-foot-two with eyes of blue and pretty as a queen
I didn't know her pop was a city cop, and she was just fifteen!
Good morning Judge
Why do you look so mean, sir?
And Mr. Judge, what can the charges be?
It must be someone else
You know it can't be me!
I filed my income tax return, thought I'd saved some dough
I cheated just a little bit, I knew they'd never know
I got some money back this year, like I always do
They'll have to catch me before I pay Internal Revenue!
Good morning Judge
Why do you look so mean, sir?
And Mr. Judge, what can the charges be?
If there's been trouble, I will plead not guilty
It must be someone else
You know it can't be me!
My wife and I we separated, just the other day
Last thing that she said to me was "Brother you will pay!"
She said I'll pay her every week, I better never fail
I said before I send you a dime, I'll die right here in jail!
Good morning Judge
Why do you look so mean, sir?
And Mr. Judge, what can the charges be?
If there's been trouble, I will plead not guilty
It must be someone else
You know it can't be me!
The lyrics of "Morning" by Various Artists paint a picture of a Sunday morning filled with uncertainty and self-doubt. The singer wakes up to a pounding headache and a world that seems to offer nothing but more pain. They take what they want, but it's never enough, because they can't find happiness or fulfillment. The little voices in their head at night only add to their loneliness and sadness.
Throughout the song, the singer wrestles with the feeling of not fitting in, of not being able to find their place in the world. They are searching for something that will make them feel alive, but they don't know what that is, or if they'll ever find it. Despite all of this, the singer repeatedly reassures themselves that it's okay, it's alright, as if trying to convince themselves that everything will be fine even though they don't believe it.
The lyrics of "Morning" are a poignant exploration of the human condition, capturing the sense of longing and searching that are an intrinsic part of being alive. They speak to the feelings of isolation and alienation that many people experience, as well as the desire for connection that is equally fundamental. The song is a reminder that even in times of struggle and uncertainty, there can still be hope, and that it's possible to find peace and fulfillment in unexpected places.
