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.
Where Is The Love
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneath the willow tree
That I've been dreaming of?
Where is she?
Who I close my eyes to see?
Will I ever know the sweet "hello"
That's meant for only me?
Must I travel far and wide?
'Til I am beside the someone who
I can mean something to
Where?
Where is love?
Who can say where she may hide?
Must I travel far and wide?
'Til I am beside the someone who
I can mean something to
Where?
Where is love?

The singer wonders if they will ever find the person that they can share a special connection with. The chorus repeats the question, emphasizing the uncertainty of not knowing where love is hiding.
The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer continuing to search for love and questioning whether they must travel far and wide to find it.

#WHERESTHELOVE Lyrics
[Chorus: will.i.am]
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preachin'?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin' on?
Can we all just get along?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where's the love)
[Verse 1: will.i.am, (Jamie Foxx & Mary J. Blige)]
Yo, what's going on with the world, momma?
(Where's the love)
Yo, people living like they ain't got no mommas
(Where's the love)
I think they all distracted by the drama and attracted to the trauma, mama
(Where's the love)
I think they don't understand the concept or the meaning of karma
(Where's the love)
[Verse 2: Puff Daddy, (Mary J. Blige & Cassie)]
Overseas, yeah, they trying to stop terrorism
(Where's the love?)
Over here on the streets, the police shoot
The people put the bullets in 'em
(Where's the love?)
But if you only got love for your own race
(Where's the love?)
Then you're gonna leave space for others to discriminate
(Where's the love?)
[Verse 3: will.i.am]
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how hate works and operates
Man, we gotta set it straight
Take control of your mind, just meditate
And let your soul just gravitate to the love
So the whole world celebrate it
[Chorus: will.i.am, Mary J. Blige, Andra Day, Nicole Scherzinger, Tori Kelly, & V Bozeman]
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preachin'?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin' on?
Can't we all just get along?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where's the love?)
[Verse 4: Taboo, (Jessie J & Andra Day)]
It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
(Where's the love?)
New days are strange, is the world insane?
(Where's the love?)
Nation droppin' bombs killing our little ones
(Where's the love?)
Ongoing suffering as the youth die young
(Where's the love?)
[Verse 5: The Game]
Where's the love when a child gets murdered, or a cop gets knocked down?
Black lives, not now
Everybody matter to me, all races
Y'all don't like what I'm sayin'? Haterade, tall cases
Everybody hate somebody, guess we all racist
Black Eyed Peas do a song about love and y'all hate this
All these protest with different colored faces
We was all born wit' a heart, why we gotta chase it?
And every time I look around
[Verse 6: Taboo, Ty Dolla $ign, (Mary J. Blige & Jessie J)]
Every time I look up, every time I look down
No one's on a common ground
(Where's the love?)
And if you never speak truth, then you never know how love sounds
(Where's the love?)
And if you never know love, then you never know God, wow
(Where's the love?)
Where's the love y'all? I don't, I don't know
Where's the truth y'all? I don't know
[Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
People killin' people dyin'
Children hurtin', you hear them cryin'
Could you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where's the love, where's the love)
[Bridge: DJ Khaled (Usher, Nicole Scherzinger, will.i.am & Justin Timberlake)]
Love is the key
(Where's the love?)
Love is the answer
(Where's the love?)
Love is the solution
(Where's the love?)
They don't want us to love
(Where's the love?)
Love is powerful
(Where's the love?)
[Verse 7: A$AP Rocky & Jaden Smith]
My mama asked me why I never vote, never vote
Cause policemen want me dead and gone, dead and gone
That election looking like a joke, such a joke, man
And the weed man still sellin' dope, oh no
Somebody gotta give these niggas hope, please hope
All he ever wanted was a smoke, my gosh
Said he can't breathe with his hands in the air
Layin' on the ground died from a choke (Where's the love?)
[Verse 8: apl.de.ap & Fergie & Choir]
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
As I'm gettin' older y'all people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas
What happened to the love and the values of humanity?
(Where's the love?)
What happened to the love and the fairness and equality?
(Where's the love?)
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
(Where's the love?)
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
(Where's the love?)
