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 ↴

เธออยู่ที่ไหนสบายดีหรือเปล่า
วันที่ไม่มีเธอแล้วช่างว่างเปล่าเหงาเหลือเกิน
จะนานสักแค่ไหนในใจก็เหมือนเก่า
เมื่อตื่นมาก็ยังเหงาจนดึกดื่นคิดถึงเธออื๊อ

เจ็บกว่าการไม่มีก็คือเคยได้มี
เธอเคยยืนอยู่ตรงนี้ข้างข้างกัน
ก็ไม่รู้ว่าเธอลืมฉันไปหรือยังแต่ฉันไม่

ก็มันคิดถึงเธอแทบจะตายแล้วความคิดถึงทรมานฉันเหลือเกิน
ไม่เคยลืมลงยังคงเพ้อเจ้อยังเห็นภาพเธออยู่ทุกที่
ก็มันคิดถึงเธอแทบจะตายแล้วก็ไม่รู้จะทำใจได้เมื่อไร
ได้แต่ฝันไปว่ายังรักกันและหวังว่าสักวันฝันคงจะเป็นจริง

อยากทำให้เธอยิ้มแต่มันคงไม่ได้
อยากมีวันที่สดใสเหมือนที่เคยอยู่ด้วยกันอื๊อ
อยากเรียกเธอที่รักแต่มันคงไม่ได้
อยากให้เธอยังโทรหาเวลาเหงาใจอีกสักทีโอ๊ว

เจ็บกว่าการไม่มีก็คือเคยได้มี
เธอเคยยืนอยู่ตรงนี้ข้างข้างกัน
ก็ไม่รู้ว่าเธอลืมฉันไปหรือยังแต่ฉันไม่

ก็มันคิดถึงเธอแทบจะตายแล้วความคิดถึงทรมานฉันเหลือเกิน
ไม่เคยลืมลงยังคงเพ้อเจ้อยังเห็นภาพเธออยู่ทุกที่
ก็มันคิดถึงเธอแทบจะตายแล้วก็ไม่รู้จะทำใจได้เมื่อไร
ได้แต่ฝันไปว่ายังรักกันและหวังว่าสักวันฝันคงจะเป็นจริง
เออิเย้เออิเย้เอ๊อืออื๊อ

ก็มันคิดถึงเธอแทบจะตายแล้วความคิดถึงทรมานฉันเหลือเกิน
ไม่เคยลืมลงยังคงเพ้อเจ้อยังเห็นภาพเธออยู่ทุกที่
ก็มันคิดถึงเธอแทบจะตายแล้วก็ไม่รู้จะทำใจได้เมื่อไร

ได้แต่ฝันไปว่ายังรักกันและหวังว่าสักวันฝันคงจะเป็นจริง
เออิเย้เอ๊ฮืม

Overall Meaning

The lyrics explain that they have another side to their life that they don't publicly share, although they may appear to be living the perfect dream. They reassure their fans that they have everything they've always wanted, but sometimes even they question whether it's all worth it.

The song reminds us that even those in the spotlight can have their own doubts and fears, and it's essential to show empathy and kindness towards others.

For the rock artist, this song is a commentary on the superficiality of the music industry.

The lyrics suggest that fame and fortune aren't always everything, and even those living seemingly perfect lives can still feel empty inside. The song is a reminder to stay true to oneself, even in the midst of societal pressure to be someone else.

So what you see is only half the story,
There's more to me that meets the eye.

I am fortunate in many respects.
