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 ↴
The Father was a brother to you all
The teaching that you heard was the Living Word
The wonders and the miracles you saw
There were times of awesome inspiration
There were times you didn't understand
And when He had to go and you felt alone
I think about the way You carried on
In the face of persecution You stood strong
So I will follow Christ, I will run the race
Fighting the good fight, standin' on my faith
I will wear the name of Jesus, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, I will follow Christ
Now I don't have to look across the ages
His voice is speaking in my heart today
His word is like a flame, consumin' all my shame
His life, a shining star to show the way
So I will follow Christ and I will run the race
Fighting the good fight, standing on my faith
I will wear the name of Jesus, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, yes, I will follow Christ
I behold your life and see the man You want me to become
Living like someone whose heart belongs to You, the Kingdom
That was sealed on Calvary
I will show the world what I believe, yes I believe
I will follow Christ, yeah, I will run the race
Fighting the good fight and standing on my faith
I will wear the name of Jesus, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, I will follow Christ
I will wear the name of Jesus, yeah, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, I will follow Christ
I will run the race, yeah, yeah
I will follow Christ, I will follow, yeah
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will
I will follow Christ
I'm gonna follow you, my Lord
I'm gonna follow you, my Lord
The lyrics of Various Artists' song 'One' describe the disciples of Jesus and their experiences of walking on earth with Him. It talks about how Jesus taught them the Living Word which they heard and the wonders and miracles that they saw. While they had moments of awe-inspiring revelations, they also had times of confusion and lack of understanding. When Jesus eventually left them, it was hard for them to see His plan as they felt alone. However, despite the persecution they faced, they remained strong and unified in their faith.
In the second stanza, the song shifts to the perspective of the singer, who is inspired by the disciples' example and declares their commitment to follow Christ. The singer acknowledges that they can feel Jesus' voice speaking to them in their heart today and that His word is like a flame that consumes their shame. The singer is in awe of Jesus' life, which serves as a shining star to guide the way.
The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the singer's determination to follow Christ, to run the race, and fight the good fight. They are willing to make any sacrifice necessary to give their life to Jesus and wear His name.
Overall, the song is an uplifting and inspiring tribute to the disciples of Jesus and their unwavering faith.

Love the whole planet's singing along
