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.
Owner of a Lonely Heart
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser
See yourself
You and you - and that's the only way
Shake - shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own decision
They confused me so
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
And don't you hesitate at all - no no
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Owner of a lonely heart
The song Owner Of A Lonely Heart by Various Artists is a song about taking control of one's life and being the master of one's own fate. The opening lines urge the listener to take control of their life and create their own future without being held back by the past. The lyrics also encourage the listener to believe in themselves and take risks, even if they may lead to failure. The song then shifts to the idea of being the only person responsible for one's own happiness and success. The chorus repeats the phrase "owner of a lonely heart", emphasizing the idea that we are in charge of our own lives and must take ownership of our happiness and contentment.
The song's lyrics have been interpreted in several ways. Some say that it is a song about a person who is afraid to love again after being hurt in the past. However, others have interpreted it as an anthem to individualism and the importance of taking risks and being self-reliant. The song has been attributed as a protest song against collectivist movements like communism, where the individual is forced to put the collective above their personal interests.

Growing up in the 80s was about the "coolest" decade anybody could hope for since the 60s, even to this day. I too feel lucky.
