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 ↴
มองเห็นคุณยาย
มาแกล้งถามว่าเจอะอะไร
สนุกแค่ไหนที่ฝัน
ใจเด็กน้อยจึงทบทวน
ไม่ฝันเห็นอะไรมากมาย
รีบค้นเร็วไว
หิ่งห้อยในกล่องตอนนี้
เหมือนหนอนตัวหนึ่ง
ไม่สวยดังซึ่งตอนอยู่
ใต้ต้นลำพูส่องแสง
ยายยิ้มแล้วสอนตาม
จะมองเห็นความงามที่จริง
อย่าขังความจริงไม่เห็น
อย่างขัง
ความงาม
To start with, the lyrics of this song, "Hoy," reflect a child's perspective and experience of living in the moment. The song appears to describe a morning experience where the child wakes up and sees their grandmother. The grandmother playfully asks the child what they dreamed about because she knows it must have been fun. The child, in turn, reflects on not dreaming of a lot of things and in turn, checks what is underneath their pillow, which is a sense of a treasure box.
As the child opens the box, they see something that is not desirable, similar to a worm. The child compares the item in the box to the beauty that they see when looking at the light under the bamboos in the morning, but the grandmother reminds them that beauty can be found in different places, even in unexpected ways. The song reminds us to keep an open mind and to see beauty in everything, even things that may not appear to be so beautiful.
Overall, the song seems to convey the message of appreciating the present moment, with all its little surprises and subtleties, and finding beauty even in the most unexpected places. Different artists have interpreted this message in different ways, using a range of musical styles and genres.

ตื่นเช้าพอได้ลืมตา
Waking up in the morning with a blank mind
มองเห็นคุณยาย
Seeing an old lady
มาแกล้งถามว่าเจอะอะไร
Teasing and asking what she has seen
สนุกแค่ไหนที่ฝัน
Wondering how much fun dreaming can be
ใจเด็กน้อยจึงทบทวน
A child's heart reflects
ไม่ฝันเห็นอะไรมากมาย
Not dreaming of many things
รีบค้นเร็วไว
Quickly searching
ใต้หมอนเปิดฝานั้นดู
Opening the pillow and looking inside
หิ่งห้อยในกล่องตอนนี้
Feeling lost in a box now
เหมือนหนอนตัวหนึ่ง
Feeling like a worm
ไม่สวยดังซึ่งตอนอยู่
Not as pretty as before
ใต้ต้นลำพูส่องแสง
Looking at the light under the bamboo tree
ยายยิ้มแล้วสอนตาม
The grandmother smiles and teaches
จะมองเห็นความงามที่จริง
To see the true beauty
อย่าขังความจริงไม่เห็น
Don't trap yourself in not seeing the truth
อย่างขังความงาม
Like trapping the beauty
