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 ↴
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
There's just too much that time can not erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time can not erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me.
The above lyrics from the song My Immortal by various artists describe feelings of deep loss and grief. The first verse highlights the singer's desire to move on from the pains of the past, but their memories and feelings refuse to let go. This verse is about how the singer is unable to move on from their past, no matter how much they try. They are held back by their own fears and the memories of someone they lost. They are overwhelmed by the pain and emotional trauma of the loss and feel abandoned by the people who have left. The last line of the verse "And it won't leave me alone" emphasizes the fact that the pain is constant and persistent.
The chorus of the song is about the singer's feelings of helplessness and despair, and how time has failed to heal their emotional wounds. The second verse discusses the past, when everything was better and the person who left used to be their source of hope and happiness. The lyrics say that this person was the light in their life, but now that they are gone, the singer is left with nothing but painful memories. The bridge where the singer says, "I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone, but though you're still with me, I've been alone all along" reveals the true depth of their loneliness, despite the continuing presence of the person who left.
