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.
Reach out I'll be there
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumbling down
Darlin' reach out come on girl reach on out for me
Reach out, reach out for me
I'll be there
With a love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With a love that will see you through
When you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your life just ain't good enough
And your feel the world has grown cold
And your drifting out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
Darlin' reach out, come on girl, reach on out for me
Reach out, reach out for me
I'll be there to love
And comfort you
And I'll be there
To cherish and care for you
I'll be there
To always see you through
I'll be there
To love and comfort you
I can tell the way you hang your head
Your not in love now, now your afraid
And through the tears you look around
But there's no piece of mind to be found
I know what your thinking,
You're alone now, no love of your own, but darling
Reach out, come on girl, reach out for me
Reach out, reach out, just look over your shoulder
I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always depend on me
I'll be there
To always see you through
I'll be there
To love and comfort you
