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 ↴
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c'e luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me, con me
su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada
When I'm alone
I dream of the horizon
and words fail me
There is no light
in a room where there is no sun
and there is no sun if you're not here with me, with me
From every window
unfurl my heart
the heart that you have won
Into me you've poured the light
the light that you found by the side of the road
Time to say goodbye (Con te partiro)
paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
con te partiro
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
it's time to say goodbye (con te io li vivro)
Time to say goodbye
Places that I've never seen or
experienced with you
now I shall
I'll sail with you
upon ships across the seas
seas that exist no more
I'll revive them with you
Quando sei lontana
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io si lo so
che sei con me con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mia solo tu sei qui con me
con me con me con me
When you're far away
I dream of the horizon
and words fail me
and of course I know that you're with me, with me
you, my moon, you are with me
my sun, you're here with me
with me, with me, with me
Time to say goodbye (Con te partiro)
paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
con te partiro
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li vivro
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li vivro
Con te partiro
Time to say goodbye
Places that I've never seen or
experienced with you
now I shall
I'll sail with you
upon ships across the seas
seas that exist no more
I'll revive them with you
I'll go with you
upon ships across the seas
seas that exist no more
I'll revive them with you
I'll go with you.
I'll go with you.
The song "Time to Say Goodbye" or "Con te partirò" is a touching ballad about two people who are deeply in love but end up being separated from each other. The singer acknowledges that when they are alone, they dream of the horizon, but they fail to find the words to express their feelings of loss and sadness that come with their separation. The lyrics compare the absence of the loved one to the absence of light in a darkened room. The only way to fill that emptiness, according to the song, is when the two people are together, and they can show their love to the world.
The chorus is overcome with a sense of longing, as the singer reminisces about the places he has never seen nor experienced with his partner. He sings about how he will sail with his lover on ships across seas that no longer exist to revive them once again. The anguish of the separation the two lovers face is expressed throughout the song, but the hope of a reunion keeps them driven.
Overall, the song shows that love has the power to overcome any distance or heartache, and it speaks to anyone who has felt the pain of separation from someone they love.

When I'm alone
I dream of the horizon
and words fail me
There is no light
in a room where there is no sun

When I'm alone, I often think about the horizon and how the world beyond it must look. But sometimes, words can't accurately describe what I'm feeling. Without sunshine, there's no light in a room, and without your presence, there's no happiness. When I see the sky outside every window, I see my heart beating with excitement because it belongs to you. You've brought light into my life, and it all started when you came into my life unexpectedly.

it's time to say goodbye (con te io li vivro)
It's time for us to say goodbye to our past and look forward to new experiences. I'm excited to go to new places and experience new things that I've never seen or done before with you by my side. I'll join you on a ship sailing through the sea; although some of the seas may no longer exist, I'll live through them with you by my side.
When you're far away
I dream of the horizon
and words fail me
and of course I know that you're with me, with me
you, my moon, you are with me
my sun, you're here with me
with me, with me, with me
When you're far away from me, I often think about the horizon and how different everything looks from afar. Sometimes, I can't find the right words to explain how much I miss you. But I know that you're always with me, in spirit if not in person. You're my guiding light, my moon, who shines bright even from a distance, and my sun, who brings warmth and comfort to me every day.
Time to say goodbye (Con te partiro)

It's time to start a new adventure together. We'll visit new countries and have new experiences that we'll cherish forever. Let's sail the seas, even those that no longer exist, because we'll make them come alive with love and companionship. I'll always be with you, and together, we'll start this journey together and face whatever comes our way, hand in hand.
I'll go with you
upon ships across the seas
seas that exist no more
I'll revive them with you
I'll go with you.
I'm excited to embark on this journey with you, and I'll be with you every step of the way. Together, we'll sail across the seas, even those that no longer exist, and relive their glory days. I won't let you navigate this journey alone; I'll always be by your side.

Quando sono solo
Sogno all’orizzonte
E mancan le parole
Sì lo so che non c’è luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada
Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
It’s time to say goodbye

The world's best soprano meets the best tenor. What could go wrong? Nothing. This is absolute perfection.

I was at work when I discovered this song. My husband was in the hospital with leukemia and he was losing the battle. I cried like a baby. 22 years later I still cry. I still talk to my husband a lot because I believe he can hear. Our bodies die but our spirit lives on.
