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 ↴
And this snot for a shot of whiskey
You can kiss on these lips for a couple of sips
But do not get too frisky
Well, I got to use the restroom but there ain't a stall for two
So squeeze on in and don't breathe in 'cause I won't go solo on you
Use it
Well, I'd like to eat spaghetti but you want vindaloo
So I'll leave in a hurry and order some curry 'cause I won't go solo on you
Oh, you and me, we're together through and through
So if you move to China, I'll be right behind ya
'Cause I won't go solo on you, yee-haw!
The lyrics of "One By One" describe an ending relationship. The first verse talks about the "fork in the road" and "Love's last episode," implying that the singer and their partner have reached a point of no return in their relationship. The second line, "There's nowhere to go, no no," shows that the singer recognizes the finality of the situation. The third and fourth lines reveal that the partner has already made their choice to end the relationship, and now it's the singer's turn to accept it and "bow out gracefully."
The chorus of the song provides a possible glimmer of hope. The singer says that they will always be there for their former partner, no matter when or why. They claim that they will be "around," which suggests a willingness to remain in each other's lives, even if from a distance. The second verse introduces a twist in the story, as the singer realizes that the words they once had at their disposal to persuade their partner to stay in the relationship have "slipped away." However, they acknowledge that a "tiny spark" might still exist between them, and it only takes that spark to turn into a "flame" and reignite their love.
Overall, "One By One" is a song about the difficulty of accepting the end of a relationship but remaining hopeful that love can emerge again someday.
Line by Line Meaning
This is our fork in the road
This is a pivotal moment in our relationship where we have to make a choice
Love's last episode
Our love story is coming to an end
There's nowhere to go, no no
Our paths have reached their limit and there is no solution
You made your choice
You have made your decision, regardless of what I might want
And now it's up to me
I'm the one who has to decide how to proceed
To bow out gracefully
I want to leave this relationship with dignity
Though you hold the key, but baby
Even though you are the one who initiated this, you still hold some control over me
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
I'll be there for you no matter what
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
I'm always available to you
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
You can always count on me when you need me
I'll be around
I'll always be here, ready to help
I knew just what to say
I had the right words to fix things, or so I thought
And now I found out today
I've discovered recently that what I said didn't work
All the words had slipped away, well I know
I lost the right words to say to you
There's always a chance
There's still a possibility of reconciliation
A tiny spark will remain, yeah
There's still a glimmer of hope in our love story
And sparks turn into flames
A small spark can grow into something much bigger
And love can burn once again, well I know you know
Our love can reignite, and I know you believe that too
Even if I have to crawl, I'll be there
I'll do whatever it takes to be there for you
Just call me on the phone, I'll be there
You can always rely on me, even if we're not together
I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there
I'll always be by your side, no matter what
Just call out my name, I know I know you know
You can reach me whenever you need me
I'll be skipping and a jumping, I'll be there
I'm excited to be there for you, no matter the situation
I'll be ripping and running, I'll be there
I'll go through any obstacles to be by your side
