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 ↴
Is enough to dry my teary eyes
The amber rain of light
The world is mine
Beneath the stars
And the rainbows and the waterfalls
That's where you are
That's where you are
The rain falls slowly down on me
The rain falls slowly down on me
Look to the sun
And the way it smiles on everyone
Feel it in your lungs
As if life has only begun
Sing for the air
Sing in loneliness and sing in despair
I'll find you there
I'll find you there
It'll be a day like this one
When the world falls down
When the sunlight fails to shine
It'll be a day like this one
When the world falls down
The death of you and I
It seems the sunlight falls away
I tried to make it stay
With everything that I am
The stars above, they scream your name
But I can't see your face
No matter how high I stand
Where are you in the night?
Where are you in the night?
The rain falls slowly down on me
The rain falls slowly down on me
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
In the first verse of Tristan's song "Something Like This," the imagery of the summer sky and teary eyes conveys a sense of healing and renewal. The singer finds solace in the beauty of nature, symbolized by the amber rain of light and the ownership of the world being declared as theirs. The mention of stars, rainbows, and waterfalls further enhances this tranquil and uplifting atmosphere, with a strong emphasis on the presence of a significant other. The repetition of the line "That's where you are" suggests a deep connection and sense of unity with this beloved person, emphasizing their importance in the singer's life.
As the song progresses, the theme of resilience in the face of adversity is highlighted through the metaphor of the rain falling slowly. The singer acknowledges the challenges and struggles that come their way but finds the strength to endure and persevere. Looking to the sun and its universal warmth and light, there is a sense of hope and renewal that permeates the lyrics. The act of singing is portrayed as a cathartic release, a way to express emotions of loneliness and despair while also finding a sense of comfort and connection. The assurance of "I'll find you there" further emphasizes the presence of the loved one as a source of support and solace.
The chorus of the song introduces a darker tone, painting a vivid picture of a day when everything seems to crumble and fall apart. The imagery of the sunlight failing to shine symbolizes a loss of hope and brightness, leading to a sense of impending doom. The contrast between the earlier verses' themes of love and unity and the impending sense of loss and death creates a poignant juxtaposition. The intense emotions conveyed in the lyrics reflect a deep sense of despair and longing, as the singer grapples with the inevitability of loss and separation.
In the final verses, the singer grapples with feelings of longing and yearning for a lost loved one. The imagery of the stars above screaming the person's name emphasizes the singer's deep emotional connection and longing for their presence. Despite the attempts to reach out and connect, there is a sense of isolation and emptiness, as the loved one remains elusive and out of reach. The repetition of the line "Where are you in the night?" underscores the singer's desperate search for solace and connection in the darkness. The rain falling slowly serves as a constant reminder of the grief and longing that persist, with the repeated mention of "Grace gone for so long" adding a sense of melancholy and loss to the poignant lyrics.

The summer sky
The serene beauty of the summer sky brings comfort and soothes my sadness
Is enough to dry my teary eyes
Just gazing at the summer sky is all I need to stop my tears from flowing
The amber rain of light
The warm, golden light of the sun shining down
The world is mine
In that moment, I feel like I have everything I need in the world
Beneath the stars
Under the vast night sky filled with stars
And the rainbows and the waterfalls
Surrounded by the beauty of rainbows and flowing waterfalls
That's where you are
In the midst of all this beauty, you are there with me
The rain falls slowly down on me
As the rain falls gently, I feel a sense of peace and melancholy
Look to the sun
Turn your gaze towards the sun
And the way it smiles on everyone
Notice how the sun shines its warmth and light on everyone
Feel it in your lungs
Let it fill your lungs with life and energy
As if life has only begun
As if every moment is a fresh start, full of endless possibilities
Sing for the air
Sing out to the air around you, expressing your emotions
Sing in loneliness and sing in despair
Whether you're feeling lonely or in deep despair, let your voice be heard
I'll find you there
I'll be there for you, no matter where you are or how you're feeling
It'll be a day like this one
There will come a day similar to this one
When the world falls down
A moment when everything seems to crumble and collapse
When the sunlight fails to shine
When even the light seems to fade away
The death of you and I
The end of our bond or relationship
It seems the sunlight falls away
It feels like the light is disappearing
I tried to make it stay
I tried to hold onto the light and the warmth it brings
With everything that I am
With all my heart and soul
The stars above, they scream your name
Even the stars seem to call out your name
But I can't see your face
Despite everything, I still can't see your face
No matter how high I stand
No matter how much I try or how far I go
Where are you in the night?
I search for you in the darkness of the night
The rain falls slowly down on me
The rain continues to fall gently over me
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
Even though grace has been absent for a long time, the rain still falls over me
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
The rain reminds me of the absence of grace in my life for a long period
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
Each drop of rain symbolizes the long period without grace
The rain falls slowly down on me (Grace gone for so long)
The rain, like grace, falls slowly over me, even though it has been missing for a while
