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.
Valentine
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you think fish are just the grooviest
Join the Club for Marine Life Enthusiasts!
Wednesdays at lunch
If peanuts make you itch and wheeze
Come and listen to the speaker on food allergies
If you have good times, and if you have good rhymes
But then the one you like-like says, "Take a hike-hike"
Then suddenly you're lonely
But still be glad, even if you're sad
Take comfort just in knowing
You'll be okay, it's Valentine's day
Your heart's not broken, it's only growing
The lyrics to "Valentine" by Various Artists start off with a cheerful and playful greeting, wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day in a whimsical way. The mention of "Wagstaff-inopolises" adds a touch of humor and creates a sense of community among the listeners.
The next lines introduce two different scenarios, inviting listeners to join specific clubs or activities. The first scenario appeals to those who find fish fascinating, suggesting they join the Club for Marine Life Enthusiasts, implying that this shared interest could lead to potential connections or friendships. The second scenario addresses individuals who have food allergies, emphasizing the importance of awareness and education by inviting listeners to attend a speaker session on the topic. This indicates that the song acknowledges and embraces different interests and experiences.
The following lines discuss the ups and downs of relationships. The lyrics acknowledge that having good times and good rhymes with someone can make you believe they are your "one and only." However, things can quickly change when that person rejects your affection, telling you to "take a hike-hike." This sudden rejection leads to a feeling of loneliness and sadness, as the person you liked no longer reciprocates your feelings.
Despite this heartbreak, the lyrics encourage listeners to find solace in the fact that even though they may be sad, their hearts are still growing. This is a reminder that even in moments of disappointment, personal growth is still occurring. The song suggests that being okay on Valentine's Day doesn't mean escaping feelings of heartbreak entirely but rather finding comfort in the idea that growth and self-love can come out of difficult relationship experiences.
Overall, "Valentine" portrays a mix of lightheartedness and emotional depth, encouraging listeners to embrace their interests, navigate relationships with resilience, and find solace in personal growth, even during challenging times.

Wednesdays at lunch
Every Wednesday during lunchtime
If peanuts make you itch and wheeze
If you experience itching and wheezing due to peanuts
Come and listen to the speaker on food allergies
Attend a presentation where a speaker will discuss the topic of food allergies
If you have good times, and if you have good rhymes
If you have enjoyable moments and possess skillful rhymes
You may have found your one and only
You might have discovered your perfect and unique match
But then the one you like-like says, 'Take a hike-hike'
However, the person you have romantic feelings for dismisses you with a dismissive statement
Then suddenly you're lonely
Instantly, you feel a sense of isolation and solitude
But still be glad, even if you're sad
Nevertheless, find reasons to be content even in moments of sadness
Take comfort just in knowing
Find solace in the awareness
You'll be okay, it's Valentine's day
You will be fine, as it is Valentine's Day
Your heart's not broken, it's only growing
Your heart is not shattered, but instead, it is expanding and developing
