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.
When I Fall in Love
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment that I feel
That you feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you
When I give my heart it will be forever
Or I'll never, never, never, never give my heart
And the moment that I feel
That you feel the same way too
Is when I'll give my heart
When I give my heart to you
The song "When I Fall In Love" is a classic love song that expresses the desire for a love that is eternal and all-encompassing. The lyrics suggest that the singer is cautious about falling in love because of the impermanence and fleeting nature of love in the contemporary world. The opening lines, "When I fall in love it will be forever / Or I'll never fall in love" demonstrate this sentiment, suggesting that the singer is looking for a love that will endure, or else they would rather not love at all.
The song suggests that love is often ended before it has a chance to grow, with "too many moonlight kisses seem[ing] to cool in the warmth of the sun." However, the artist insists that when they do fall in love, it will be complete and unguarded, "Or [they'll] never give [their] heart." The lyrics also indicate that when both parties feel the same way, that is the moment when true love will take hold. When the artist gives their heart, it will be forever, indicating that their love is not fleeting or easily extinguished.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal desire for an all-consuming, timeless love, while also acknowledging the challenges and uncertainties that come with love in a restless, ever-changing world.
