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 PrΓΆfrock, 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.
See You Again
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My one companion
You were all
That mattered
You were once
A friend and father
Then my world
Was shattered
Wishing you were
Somehow here again
Wishing you were
Somehow near
Sometimes it seemed
If I just dreamed,
Somehow you would
Be here
Wishing I could
Hear your voice again
Knowing that I
Never would
Dreaming of you
Won't help me to do
All that you dreamed
I could
Passing bells
And sculpted angels,
Cold and monumental,
Seem, for you,
The wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
Too many years
Fighting back tears
Why can't the past
Just die?
Wishing you were
Somehow here again
Knowing we must
Say goodbye
Try to forgive
Teach me to live
Give me the strength
To try
No more memories,
No more silent tears
No more gazing across
The wasted years
Help me say
Goodbye.

You were once
At one point in time
My one companion
My only mate
You were all
You were everything
That mattered
That held significance
You were once
In the past, you were
A friend and father
A pal and paternal figure
Then my world
Afterwards, my life
Was shattered
Was completely broken
Wishing you were
Desiring for you to be
Somehow here again
In some way, present with me once more
Wishing you were
Desiring for you to be
Somehow near
In some way, close to me again
Sometimes it seemed
Occasionally it appeared
If I just dreamed,
If I could only imagine
Somehow you would
In some way, you would
Be here
Be present
Wishing I could
Desiring that I could
Hear your voice again
Listen to your voice once more
Knowing that I
Being sure that I
Never would
Would never
Dreaming of you
Fantasizing about you
Won't help me to do
Will not assist me in
All that you dreamed
Everything that you hoped
I could
I could do
Passing bells
Funeral bells
And sculpted angels,
And carved angelic figures
Cold and monumental,
Unfeeling and enormous
Seem, for you,
Appear, to you,
The wrong companions
As unsuitable companions
You were warm and gentle
You were caring and kind-hearted
Too many years
An excess of years
Fighting back tears
Suppressing the urge to cry
Why can't the past
What is preventing the past from
Just die?
Simply fading away?
Knowing we must
Being aware that we have to
Say goodbye
Bid farewell
Try to forgive
Make an effort to pardon
Teach me to live
Educate me on how to survive
Give me the strength
Empower me
To try
To attempt
No more memories,
No further reminiscences,
No more silent tears
No more secret crying
No more gazing across
No more staring at
The wasted years
The lost time
Help me say
Assist me in declaring
Goodbye.
Farewell.

@Sawmhlubpag1
Lost my 30yrs old sister Mika in 11/2016, older brother 34yrs old on 01/20/2018 (my birthday which I don't celebrate anymore), and my 19yrs little bro on 05/2018. What hurts the most is seeing my nephews and niece asking for their mommy and daddy.. This song let's me know that we'll all meet again in heaven! I have never in my 36yrs of my life have I heard about their loved one passing away on their birthday or so close to each other and do not want to hear ever about it. God bless everyone and keep everyone safe.
