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 Prรถfrock, 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 ↴
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end (of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on
My own-I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord
somebody, ooh somebody
Can anybody find me-somebody to love?
(She works hard) Everyday-I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say They Say I`m goin` crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
They ain't got no common sense
I've got nobody left to believe in
yeah yeah yeah yeah oooohhh
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love (Oh Baby find me)
Find me somebody to love (Come on put your flippers in the air now)
Find me somebody to love (ooohh)
Find me somebody to love (ah oooh)
Find me somebody to love (ahhhh ahha ahh)
Find me somebody to love (I'm searching high and low)
Find me somebody to love (I'm searching high and low)
Find me somebody to love (There is somebody out there who needs to find me)
Find me somebody to love (somebody anybody)
Find me somebody to love (find I wanna love somebody)
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me
Somebody to Love
Love me Love me Love
Where is my penguin
are you going to find me find me somebody
Thank you, thank you
The song "To Love Somebody" by Various Artists is a ballad about unrequited love. The singer is yearning for a specific person in their life and they mention that this person doesn't understand what it's like to truly love someone. They talk about a certain kind of light that has never shone on them and that they want their life to be lived with this person. The singer also touches on the idea that people claim to know how to do everything, but true happiness and fulfillment can only come from being with the one you love. The chorus repeats the phrase "you don't know what it's like, baby, to love somebody the way I love you" which encapsulates the main sentiment of the song.
The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is in love with a woman who is unaware of his feelings. He is frustrated by her lack of understanding of what it means to love someone so deeply. He is also frustrated by society's narrow-minded view of what it means to be successful or happy. The repetition of "you don't know what it's like" serves to emphasize the singularity of the singer's experience and adds a layer of desperation to the song.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a light
There's a hope, an expectation in me
A certain kind of light
A light that's specific to what I desire
That never shone on me
But I've never experienced it until now
I want my life to be lived with you
I want you to be a part of my life in every way possible
Lived with you
I want to share every moment of my life with you
There's a way everybody say
Everyone's always telling me how to do things
To do each and every little thing
To follow specific steps in order to achieve something
But what does it bring
But what's the point of doing it if it doesn't bring me closer to you
If I ain't got you, ain't got?
If I don't have you, what's the point of anything else
You don't know what it's like, baby
You can't possibly understand the depth of my feelings
To love somebody
To have intense, passionate feelings for someone
To love somebody
To be completely devoted to someone
The way I love you
In the exact same way that I love you and no one else
In my brain
In my mind, I constantly think of you
I see your face again
I keep visualizing your beautiful face
I know my frame of mind
I'm well aware of the state of my emotions
You ain't got to be so blind
You don't have to ignore my feelings for you
And I'm blind, so, so, so blind
But I am struggling to see anything beyond my love for you
I'm a man
I'm just a person with human emotions
Can't you see what I am?
Can't you see how desperately I love you
I live and I breathe for you
You're the reason for my existence and every breath I take
But what good does it do
But what's the use of loving you so much if I can't have you
If I ain't got you, ain't got?
If I don't have you, what's the point of anything else

When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
When the garden flowers, baby are dead, yes and
Your mind, your mind is so full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Tears are running down and down and down your breast
And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

I swear, Grace's voice could bend steel. The psychedelic album of the 60's !
@briane173
Ya think!? THE most powerful female voice in the rock era by far. She had no equal. When Grace Slick hit the scene folks weren't quite ready for it, and I think that was the appeal. The sheer power of Slick's delivery was a force to be reckoned with. Follows her personality too. Unafraid, unafraid of laughing at herself as well as the Establishment. She was a partyer and probably the life of the party. Almost didn't need drugs when you were around Grace Slick.

@@briane173 She's COOL; that's it in a Nutshell!

What a folk band does when they get bored. Very early psychedelia; recorded Nov., '66
@robertsvorinich7959
I like Grace. She started a riot at West German concert by taunting the fans. On alcohol, drugs no doubt.

Damn that's funny. I can attest to the fact. I'm sure I'm down for about 40 of those 1000.
