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.

ONE NIGHT STAND
Tristan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mother of God, here I stand now praying,
Before this icon of your radiant brightness,
Not praying to be saved from a battlefield,

Not giving thanks, nor seeking forgiveness

For the sins of my soul, nor for all the souls.
Numb, joyless and desolate on earth,

But for her alone, whom I wholly give you.

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Tristan expresses his deep sense of reverence and devotion towards a divine entity, referred to as "Mother of God." He is standing before an icon that symbolizes the brilliance and radiance associated with this deity. The act of praying in this context is not motivated by a desire for salvation from physical warfare, but rather represents a plea for spiritual connection and understanding.

The second line clarifies that Tristan's prayer does not aim to express gratitude or seek forgiveness for specific transgressions or wrongdoings. Instead, it signifies his yearning for redemption and solace, not only for his own soul but for the souls of others as well. Tristan feels a profound sense of emptiness, devoid of joy and comfort, in his earthly existence. He looks to the Mother of God as the source of consolation and guidance.

The final two lines highlight the unconditional devotion Tristan holds for a particular woman, whom he wholeheartedly offers to the Mother of God. This woman may symbolize either a romantic interest or a spiritual entity. By directing his prayer towards the divine, Tristan seeks to entrust this woman's well-being and happiness to a higher power, believing that divine intervention can bring fulfillment and purpose to her life.

Overall, these lyrics depict Tristan's yearning for divine intervention and connection in a world that feels joyless and desolate. Through prayer, he seeks solace and offers the entirety of his devotion, not only for his own sake but also for the woman who holds a significant place in his heart.

Line by Line Meaning

Mother of God, here I stand now praying
I stand before you, Mother of God, offering my prayers

Before this icon of your radiant brightness
In the presence of this divine symbol of your glorious light

Not praying to be saved from a battlefield
I'm not seeking deliverance from a physical battle

Not giving thanks, nor seeking forgiveness
I'm not expressing gratitude or asking for absolution

For the sins of my soul, nor for all the souls
Not specifically for the sins of my own soul or the souls of others

Numb, joyless and desolate on earth
Feeling emotionally detached, devoid of happiness, and abandoned in this world

But for her alone, whom I wholly give you
My prayers are solely dedicated to her, whom I offer completely to you
