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.
Wonderful World
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
red roses too
I see them bloom
for me and you
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue
The bright blessed day,
the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow
so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
saying how do you do
They're really saying
I love you.
I hear babies crying,
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
than I'll never know
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
The song "Wonderful World" by Various Artists is full of hope, positivity, and appreciation of the beauty of the world. The first stanza of the song describes how the singer sees the beauty in nature- the trees of green, red roses, and the sky of blue with white clouds. The line "I see them bloom for me and you" illustrates the idea that the beauty of the world is meant to be shared and appreciated by everyone. The singer then reflects on how wonderful the world is, despite all its imperfections and challenges.
The second stanza continues with the description of the beauty of the world, with the bright blessed day and the dark sacred night, which highlights the beauty in light and dark. The colors of the rainbow are contrasted with the faces of people, showing that the world is not just the beauty in nature, but also in the people that surround us. The act of friends shaking hands and saying "how do you do" is also a sign of connection and love. The song then ends with the singer reflecting on the growth of babies and how they are destined to learn so much more than the singer ever will.
Overall, the song is a reminder to appreciate the beauty of the world, both in nature and in human connections. It encourages the listener to focus on the positive aspects of life and to cherish the moments we have.
