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 ↴
nació un niño blanco con ojos azules cabello castaño
La madre con mucho orgullo después de tanto tiempo al fin sonrió de emoción lloraba inquietamente la enferma pregunta cual es la razón pues él padre con solo 6 meses de aquel embarazo los abandono
These lyrics are from the song "Amor De Madre" by Various Artists, which tells the story of a mother's love for her child. The song begins with a description of the child's birth - on December 13th, 1980 at 3:24, a white baby with blue eyes and brown hair is born. The mother is filled with pride and joy, having waited a long time for this moment. However, she is also crying and feeling uneasy, and the reason for this is revealed in the next line - the father had abandoned her just six months into the pregnancy.
Despite this, the mother loves and cares for her child with all her heart, as the song goes on to describe. She works hard to provide for him and gives him everything she can, even if it means sacrificing her own happiness. The lyrics paint a picture of a strong, devoted mother who will do anything for her child, no matter the obstacles.
Overall, "Amor De Madre" is a powerful tribute to the love and sacrifices of mothers everywhere, and serves as a reminder of the importance of family and caring for those we love.
