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.
Sereno
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que pase en la cama un rato mas
y escuchar que en la cocina estas
preparando mi cafe
que tu creas que yo duermo aun
estrecharte contra mi
sereno es
me atrapastes con tu corazon
los dos solos no mas compañia
yo el amante que te seducia
exitados sin mas luz
(reflejo de mi sol en tu piel)
sereno es...
sereno es
es sentirme que corriendo voy
que me acerco a ti un respiracion
mientras corro contra el viento estoy
que mi meta sera siempre tu
y mi premio tambien tu
sereno es
enfadarnos y luego volver
y jurarnos no volverlo a ser
darme cuenta que sereno soy
al rendirme ante tu decision
exitarnos sin mas luz
(reflejo de mi sol en tu piel)
sereno es
(lalala...)
The lyrics of the song "Sereno" by Various Artists speak about the peace and contentment that comes with being in a relationship with someone you love deeply. The first verse describes the feeling of waking up in the morning and knowing that your partner is in the kitchen making coffee for you. The lyrics suggest that there is a sense of comfort in knowing that your partner is there taking care of you. The second verse talks about the memories of the beginning of a relationship when two people fall in love, and how it feels to be lost in the moment with someone you care about. The song suggests that this kind of love can be intense and passionate, and the lyrics describe the feeling of being completely drawn into a relationship.
The chorus of the song talks about the rush of excitement that comes with being close to someone you care about deeply. The song hints at the feeling of being in love as being like running tirelessly towards something that you know is worth it. The third verse of the song talks about the challenges and conflict that can come with relationships but also the recognition that this is part of the journey. The song speaks about how love is not always easy, but it is ultimately worth it. The song ends with a repetition of the word "sereno," which is a Spanish word that can be translated to mean serene or peaceful.
