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 ↴
And I'm late again
Cause you'll be here by 6:30
And we'll go looking for a close parking spot again
Sitting in a room full of believers
Now you tell me what's wrong and what's right
Cause I look over at you baby
And now it hurts me so,
To have to see you go
To watch these drugs pull you down
When the world can't get through
And there's nothing we can do
Except watch you fall in and out of this mess
What's wrong with a little bit of experimentation
To open the eyes of a new generation
Build your world on a cocaine foundation
And watch it all blow away
And it hurts me so,
To have to see you go
To watch these drugs pull you down
When there's nothing we can do
And no one to get through
Watch you fall deeper into this mess
Well I haven't seen you in a while
You know, I miss our talks
I miss your smile
This look of innocence is priceless
But right now you look so lifeless
And now it hurts me so,
To have to see you go
To watch this song break you down
And when you feel you can't get through
And there's no hope left in you
You'll know I'll be right here to help you find your way out...
The lyrics of Tristan Prettyman's "Song for the Rich" present a poignant reflection on the pain of watching a loved one struggle with drug addiction. The first verse establishes a sense of urgency, as the singer rushes to meet someone important in their life but cannot help but notice their own chronic tardiness. The second verse introduces a group of "believers" whose collective wisdom is solicited to understand the rights and wrongs of the world. Although the singer acknowledges their own relative ignorance, they are struck by the clarity of purpose exhibited by their companion, whose "good intentions" shine through their focus.
The chorus delivers a heartbreaking plea for change, as the singer laments their inability to help their loved one overcome the grip of addiction. While the drugs have "pulled [them] down" and the world cannot get through to them, the singer watches helplessly as their loved one falls in and out of a cycle of destruction. The third verse is addressed directly to the person struggling with addiction, as the singer notes that they have not seen them in a while and misses their conversations and smile. However, they also acknowledge the toll that addiction has taken on their appearance and state of being, as their "innocence" fades to reveal a "lifeless" shell.
Through this powerful song, Tristan Prettyman offers a moving tribute to those who have been impacted by addiction, capturing the pain and heartache of watching someone you care about struggle with a substance addiction that seems to be out of their control. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and frustration, as the singer realizes that there is little they can do to intervene in a situation where their loved one seems intent on self-destruction. At the same time, the lyrics are suffused with a deep sense of compassion and empathy, as the singer vows to remain present and supportive for their loved one no matter what.

Get off work about 4 o'clock
I finish work at four o'clock.
And I'm late again
I'm running late.
Cause you'll be here by 6:30
Because you'll arrive at 6:30.
And we'll go looking for a close parking spot again
And we'll search for a nearby parking spot again.
Sitting in a room full of believers
Sitting among a group of believers.
Now you tell me what's wrong and what's right
Now you tell me what's right and wrong.
Cause I look over at you baby
Because I look over at you, darling.
You got your good intentions focused so tight
You're strongly focused on your good intentions.
And now it hurts me so,
And now it pains me deeply.
To have to see you go
To have to watch you leave.
To watch these drugs pull you down
To see drugs dragging you down.
When the world can't get through
When the world can't break through to you.
And there's nothing we can do
And we can't do anything about it.
Except watch you fall in and out of this mess
Except witness you go in and out of this chaos.
What's wrong with a little bit of experimentation
What's the harm in trying new things?
To open the eyes of a new generation
To enlighten a new generation.
Build your world on a cocaine foundation
Create your world based on a foundation of cocaine.
And watch it all blow away
And watch it all disappear.
Well I haven't seen you in a while
Well, I haven't seen you for some time.
You know, I miss our talks
I miss our conversations.
I miss your smile
I miss your smile.
This look of innocence is priceless
This innocent look is invaluable.
But right now you look so lifeless
But currently, you look so devoid of life.
And when you feel you can't get through
And when you feel like you can't overcome this.
And there's no hope left in you
And you feel like there's no more hope in you.
You'll know I'll be right here to help you find your way out...
You'll know I'll be present here to help you find your way out of this...
