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 ↴
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you
How, how much I love you
Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
Come with me
To the sea of love
Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How, how much I love you
Come with me
To the sea of love
Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How, how much I love you
The lyrics to Various Artists' "Sea of Love" describe a lover expressing their deep affection for their partner and inviting them to come with them to the "sea of love." The singer reminisces about when they first met and how they knew from that moment that their partner was the one for them. They want to express how much they love their partner and share that love in a special place, the "sea of love."
The lyrics suggest the idea of the "sea of love" being a metaphorical place where two people can escape to and express their love for each other freely. It could also represent the idea of being immersed and overwhelmed by the depth of one's emotions. The repetition of the line "Do you remember when we met" emphasizes the importance of that initial connection and how it solidified their love for each other.
