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 ↴
Os olhos já não podem ver
Coisas que só o coração pode entender
Fundamental é mesmo o amor
É impossível ser feliz sozinho
O resto é mar
É tudo que não sei contar
São coisas lindas que eu tenho pra te dar
É impossível ser feliz sozinho
Da primeira vez era a cidade
Da segunda, o cais e a eternidade
Agora eu já sei
Da onda que se ergueu no mar
E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar
O amor se deixa surpreender
Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver
Da primeira vez era a cidade
Da segunda, o cais e a eternidade
Agora eu já sei
Da onda que se ergueu no mar
E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar
O amor se deixa surpreender
Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver
Vou te contar
Composição: Tom Jobim
The lyrics of "Wave" by Tom Jobim are about the power and beauty of love. The song talks about how sometimes the things that are most important in life cannot be seen by the eyes, but instead are felt in the heart. The chorus repeats the idea that it is impossible to be happy alone, emphasizing the importance of human connections and love.
The verses describe different settings, such as a city and a pier, but ultimately, the song is about the feeling that love can bring. The last verse talks about how love can surprise us and how it can be found in unexpected places, like in the waves of the ocean or the stars in the sky.
The lyrics of "Wave" have been interpreted as a celebration of the Brazilian way of life and culture, with its emphasis on music, rhythm, and romance. The song has become a classic of bossa nova and is considered one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Its popularity has made it a favorite of many artists, who have covered it in different languages and styles.

What happens now?
I've known of No Wave for a long time and as an avid music listener I knew that someday I would be able to digest these songs in an exciting way, but i was skeptical. Never embracing it, but just keeping it at bay.
It came to me by reading an article about DNA in a review about Liquid Liquid, yup not even intentional. I knew of DNA for years but, again, No Wave was too much. Well now its not. And its the most exciting thing.
That's the thing, right!? Food, Beer, Art, etc. It takes a bit for it to be acquired sometimes.
Well, I'm a bit drunk but for the first time all these songs sound like my new favorite singles. Nothing else, just wanted to share this moment. But now what?

No wave is the perfect fusion of punk, jazz and noise
@croiners4166
Lounge Lizards, maybe?

@@croiners4166 less punk and noise imo and more jazz but still just as amazing.

I remember when this first came out. After a decade of being forced to listen to Led Zeppelin, Foreigner, Styx, Pink Floyd, and all the other establishment rock bands, this record was unbelievably refreshing.

@@thaenebrissss_96I don’t think he’s referring to how experimental the works are; I think he’s mainly talking about how over polished these bands were. This album just has a raw edge that other records did not have at that time
