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.
Te Quiero
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y aunque te hayas ido lejos sueño y te puedo alcanzar
Dime si el amor no es algo serio
Que he llorado y que te espero y todo se podra arreglar
Volverte a ver, pudiera ser
Que todo fuera como la primera vez
Tenerte asi, cerca de mi
Porque tu has sido lo mejor de mi camino
Tu amor sencillo que me llena de felicidad
Has sido lo mas grande de mi vida
Mi patria viva, la esperanza de mi soledad
Quiero que te quedes tan solo un momento
Mirame a los ojos no tienes que hablar
Deja que mis besos curen otros tiempos
Quiero que te quedes un poquito mas
Mira que te estoy queriendo tanto
Que fui presa de tu encanto y ya no me pude escapar
Dime que me llevas muy adentro
Que tan solo hay sentimiento de saber que ya no estas
Volverte a ver, pudiera ser
Que todo fuera como la primera vez
Tenerte asi, cerca de mi
Y volver a empezar y volver a sentir
Porque tu has sido lo mejor de mi camino
Tu amor sencillo que me llena de felicidad
Has sido lo mas grande de mi vida
Mi patria viva, la esperanza de mi soledad
Quiero que te quedes tan solo un momento
Mirame a los ojos no tienes que hablar
Has sido lo mejor de mi camino
Tu amor sencillo que me llena de felicidad
Has sido lo mas grande de mi vida
Mi patria viva, la esperanza de mi soledad
Quiero que te quedes tan solo un momento
Mirame a los ojos no tienes que hablar
Deja que mis besos curen otros tiempos
Quiero que te quedes un poquito mas.
