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.
Thinking of You
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
Darlin' I will
Be lovin' you
Till we're seventy
Could still fall as hard
At twenty three
I'm thinkin' bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Me I fall in love with you every single day
I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now
Take me into your lovin' arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
When my hairs all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds dont remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul
Can never grow old
It's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind in memory
I'm thinkin' bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll continue making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
That baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
Baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darlin'
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
Oh baby we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are.
The song "Thinking of You" by Ed Sheeran is a heartfelt declaration of unconditional love that stands the test of time. The lyrics speak about the permanence of true love, even as one grows old and faces the physical limitations of aging. The opening verse expresses a concern about physical decline, but the singer's love remains strong and unwavering. The chorus speaks of the power of love and how it is mysterious and unpredictable. The second verse speaks of the inevitability of aging and eventual death, but the love shared by the couple will last forever. The song concludes with an assertion that true love can be found right where one is, and that it is a powerful force that can overcome all obstacles.
One interesting fact about "Thinking of You" is that it was originally written for another artist to perform, but Ed Sheeran decided to keep it for himself. Another fact is that the song was partially inspired by the love story of his grandparents, who were together for over 60 years. The song has been covered by many other artists, including Jason Chen, Boyce Avenue, and Christopher. The music video, directed by Emil Nava, features footage of Ed Sheeran performing live and spending time with fans. The song was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in several countries and earning platinum certifications in multiple regions. The song also won a BMI London award in 2017 for achieving over two million performances on radio and TV.
Chords: G, D, Em, C.

At twenty three
Reflecting on how young we were when we fell in love
I'm thinkin' bout how
Contemplating how love happens in mysterious ways
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Acknowledging that the way we fell in love might have been unpredictable

Recognizing that my physical abilities may decline with age
I know you will still love me the same
Assuming that my beloved will continue to love me no matter what
'Cause honey your soul
Addressing my beloved's inner self, which remains vibrant and eternal
Can never grow old
Emphasizing the timeless nature of the soul
It's evergreen
Using a metaphor to describe the ever-present and enduring nature of love
Baby your smile's forever in my mind in memory
Reflecting on a beloved's smile and preserving memories of it
I'll continue making the same mistakes
Admitting that I may not always be perfect in our relationship
Hoping that you'll understand
Asking for forgiveness and understanding
Oh darlin'
Showing affection to my beloved
Oh baby we found love right where we are
Celebrating the love we have found together, no matter where we are
And we found love right where we are.
Reiterating the idea that love can be found in unpredictable places and circumstances
