1]. Tristan - a pop/folk group from Jakarta, Indonesia
2]. Tristan - Tristan Cooke is a DJ from The United Kingdom
3]. Tristan - a new band from The Netherlands
1]. Here’s a new, interesting group with interesting music concept. The name Tristan came from Latin tristis which means ‘sad’, a reference to the tragic fate of Tristram in a medieval story “Tristram and Isolde”. But being totally sad is not what two multitalented men behind the group, Andrie Ridwan and Andrew Hutasoit want to bring. Instead they want to use it as the media of expression and an entity using melodic sounds and meaningful lyrics. That’s what they show in their debut album, “Home”.
Having all English lyrics except one song “Jelang Malam” which is currently doing well in indie charts, plus one strong single “Maybe Someday” in the album gives a promising start for Tristan. Being mellow doesn't always have to mean sad, Tristan shows that they can use it to bring something poetically (both musical and lyrical) inspiring.

2]. Tristan Cooke is a face that only needs to be introduced to those new on the circuit. He has been DJing for nearly 15 years, playing all over the world at places like New York, Brazil, Tokyo, Israel, Paris, Australia, South Africa, Zambia and many more. With three albums under his belt, 'Audiodrome' and 'Substance' on Twisted Records and a third 'Chemisphere' on NANO, his rise in the studio has gone hand in hand with his Dj career. He currently has plans for collaboration with Simon Posford and Koxbox.
Sadly with the advent of Tristan's tinnitus problem, his Dj sets are few and far between, but he still plays 'live' on a regular basis as its the use of headphones makes matters worse.
3]. The band "Tristan" is a new band project by seasoned musicians from The Netherlands.
They just released their debut album "Full Power" in March, 2014 on Isolde Records. The band consists of singer Evelyn Kallansee, keyboard player Coen Molenaar, guitarist Thomas Bekhuis, bassist Frans Vollink, drummer Sebastiaan Cornelissen and percussionist Martin Gort.

Tristan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what was promised us
We don't want the world
Just a house and a little girl
Why I moved to France
Nothing here was built to last
What you want is what you chose
You can′t have both
I've been dreaming of dropping out
Will it matter if I′m around?
If you want to tell me now
I′ve been dreaming of dropping out
All we need is light
What's mine is yours and yours is mine
And we got it right
No one taught us how to fight
What you want is what you chose
You can′t have both
You can't have both
I′ve been dreaming of dropping out
Will it matter if I'm around?
If you′re scared to tell me now
I've been dreaming of dropping out
We'll grow our hair
Cut our ties
Grow our hair
Cut our ties
Grow our hair
Cut our ties
Grow our hair
The lyrics of Tristan's song Dream Machine are focused on the idea of wanting a simple and fulfilling life. The song discusses how we don't necessarily need everything that the world has to offer, just what was promised to us. The singer mentions wanting "just a house and a little girl," which could be interpreted as a desire for stability and a place to call home.
The lyrics further explore the idea of wanting to drop out and questioning the meaning behind being around. The line "What you want is what you chose, you can't have both" suggests that making choices and prioritizing what is important to us is key. The repeated refrain of "We'll grow our hair, cut our ties" serves as a metaphor for shedding unnecessary burdens and simplifying one's life.
Overall, the lyrics of Dream Machine are introspective and contemplative, encouraging listeners to reflect on what truly matters to them and what they are willing to give up in order to have a fulfilling life.
