This is my absolute favorite song right now.
I'm relatively new to PW. It's pretty much been three weeks since I found him... but I'm quite enfatuated.
Along with that, though, I'm blown away by the video. I tried to search the net for comments Patrick might have made about it, but I couldnt find anything. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the inspiration behind the video? What's it about? I know what the song is refering to... but the video. Wow...

From: rawkstar.net/features/9Magic and mystery is a recurring theme in Wolf's songs, and also his videos. Upcoming single 'Tristan' will be accompanied by a video directed by Paul Gore, a man who has previously worked with such names as Placebo, Starsailor and DJ Shadow. Patrick's earlier video for previous single 'Wind in the Wires' found the singer running naked through a council estate sixteen times. "I was naked to recreate the vulnerability of the emotion in the song. I'm quite a brave person these days so getting me to be bare and pale and showing all my nakedness was a good trick to show up some good old insecurity on camera", he explains. In that respect, 'Tristan' is the opposite. The video features Wolf in full armour, walking through the woods and being attacked by 'evil spirits'. "Tristan is a very immortal and invincible character. Tristan the medieval knight has been around since the time of King Arthur, and is constantly reborn through literature, opera and sometimes through people," Wolf explains. The video demanded that he pushed himself to the edge of his physical capabilities, and in the end he went home at seven in the morning, "...soaking to the bone in my pants and a wolf skin fur coat in a taxi with my legs and arms cut open with a bruised rib."That's all I could find.. there's a bunch of links in the FAQ thread in the main PW section of the forum if you want to find more articles and interviews
