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 ↴
Never been in love before, but I think that this is what it feels like
Emotional word vomit
Crying when you're not around
It's like I base my mood off how you feel about me that day
I read through our old messages like they're some entertaining book
God I love that kid so much
Oh how fucking stupid I look
You're no different than the last
I should've learned my lesson
Boys like you come around way too often
I'm so conflicted
I'm crying
but you're different
I say that every time
You've got it so twisted
There's no way I deserve this
Some days I swear you want me too
But most days I don't fuck with you
Everyone knows that I'd do anything for you
They tease me about it 'cuz we all know it's true
I wish that you still tried
But I'll learn how to survive
I'll just get hotter I won't need you any longer
I'm so conflicted
I'm crying
but you're different
I say that every time
You've got it so twisted
There's no way I deserve this
Some days I swear you want me too
But most days I don't fuck with you
Maybe I need to stop making you an angel in my mind
Maybe I still love you but a week from now I'll be just fine
Maybe I'm obsessed with a version of you that doesn't exist
Maybe you didn't mean it when you begged and begged me for a kiss
Maybe you're just different than I thought you were
Maybe I need to stop comparing myself to her
Maybe I need to stop excusing your behavior to my friends
Maybe I need to let myself get fucking hurt again
Ew
I'm so conflicted
I'm crying but you're different
I say that every time
You've got it so twisted
There's no way I deserve this
Some days I swear you want me too
But most days I don't fuck with you
The lyrics of Tristan's song "IDFWU" express a deep emotional conflict and confusion in a romantic relationship. The singer shares that when they talk about their partner with others, they end up crying every time, indicating a sense of sadness and vulnerability. They admit to never having been in love before, but believe that this is what love feels like. The lyrics describe the emotional turmoil as "word vomit" and feeling dependent on their partner's opinion to determine their own mood.
The singer also expresses a mix of love and frustration. They admit to loving their partner a lot, but also feel foolish for giving them a chance, as they are no different from previous failed relationships. The conflict within the singer intensifies as they alternate between feeling like their partner wants them and feeling like they don't want anything to do with them. It highlights the internal struggle of wanting to be with someone, but also realizing the toxicity of the relationship.
The song reflects on the singer's self-doubt and the unhealthy dynamics in their relationship. They question their own perception of their partner, acknowledging that they may have created an idealized version of them in their mind. They also realize that their friends may see the negative aspects of the relationship that they have been excusing. The lyrics conclude with a sense of longing to move on and find self-worth beyond the relationship.
Overall, "IDFWU" delves into the complex emotions and struggles that can arise in a toxic relationship, where love and pain coexist. It explores themes of self-doubt, dependence, and the importance of self-discovery and growth.

When I talk to other people about you I cry every time
Every time I discuss you with others, it brings me to tears
Never been in love before, but I think that this is what it feels like
Although I've never experienced love, I believe this is how it feels
Emotional word vomit
Expressing my emotions without filter or control
Crying when you're not around
Tears flow even in your absence
It's like I base my mood off how you feel about me that day
My emotional state hinges on your daily opinion of me
I read through our old messages like they're some entertaining book
I find amusement in revisiting our past conversations
God I love that kid so much
My affection for you is immeasurable
Oh how fucking stupid I look
I realize how foolish I appear
Giving you a chance
Granting you an opportunity
You're no different than the last
You are just like those who came before you
I should've learned my lesson
I should have gained wisdom from my past experiences
Boys like you come around way too often
Individuals similar to you frequently enter my life
I'm so conflicted
I am filled with internal struggle
I'm crying but you're different
Although I may shed tears, you are distinct from others
I say that every time
I find myself making this claim repeatedly
You've got it so twisted
Your understanding of the situation is severely distorted
There's no way I deserve this
I don't believe I am worthy of such treatment
Some days I swear you want me too
Certain days, it seems like you desire me as well
But most days I don't fuck with you
However, on most days, I choose not to engage with you
Everyone knows that I'd do anything for you
It is common knowledge that I am willing to do whatever it takes for you
They tease me about it 'cuz we all know it's true
They poke fun at me because it is evident to all
I wish that you still tried
I desire for you to make an effort once again
But I'll learn how to survive
Nevertheless, I will acquire the ability to endure
I'll just get hotter I won't need you any longer
I will simply become more attractive and independent, no longer relying on you
Maybe I need to stop making you an angel in my mind
Perhaps I should cease idealizing you in my thoughts
Maybe I still love you but a week from now I'll be just fine
Possibly, I still hold love for you, but in a week's time, I will have moved on
Maybe I'm obsessed with a version of you that doesn't exist
Maybe I am fixated on an idealized version of you that is not real
Maybe you didn't mean it when you begged and begged me for a kiss
Perhaps your pleas for a kiss were insincere
Maybe you're just different than I thought you were
Maybe you are not the person I initially believed you to be
Maybe I need to stop comparing myself to her
Perhaps I should cease comparing myself to someone else
Maybe I need to stop excusing your behavior to my friends
Maybe I should stop justifying your actions to my friends
Maybe I need to let myself get fucking hurt again
Possibly, I need to allow myself to experience pain once more
Ew
