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.
Tomorrow Never Knows
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in a puddle on the floor
Waiting for you
To return
Oh, what a thrill
Facinations galore
How you tease
It's so deadly my dear
The power of loving you near
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say, there'll be no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Tomorrow never dies
Darling you've won
It's no fun
Martinis, girls and guns
It's murder on our love affair
'Cause you bet your life
Every night
While you're chasing the morning light
You're not the only spy out there
It's so deadly my dear
The power of wanting you near
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say, there'll be no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Tomorrow never dies
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say, there'll be no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Until the day
Until the day
Until the day
