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.
Vámonos
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de tanto recordar
las horas que vivimos
estoy forzando al corazón
que cumpla con valor
lo que nos prometimos
aveces, quisiera irte a buscar
a punto de llorar
es tan difícil de olvidar
tan difícil, cuando hay un corazón
que quisó tanto, tanto
vámonos, s
donde nadie nos diga
que hacemos mal,
vámonos, alejados del mundo
donde no haya justicia, ni leyes, ni nada, nomas nuestro amor
no somos iguales, dice la gente
que tu vida y mi vida, se van a perder
que yo soy un canalla,
que tu eres distinta
yo ya te quise,
no te olvido,
el morir en tus brazos es mi ilusión
yo no entiendo esas cosas
las clases sociales
solo se que me quieres
como te quiero yo
vámonos, donde nadie nos juzgue
donde nadie nos diga que hacemos mal
vámonos, alejados del mundo
donde no haya justicia, ni leyes, ni nada, nomas nuestro amor
no somos iguales
dice la gente.
