Tristan and Isolde is an old Arthurian love story... much like Romeo and Juliet.

The movie was awesome. You should try watching it.

Quote:

A gripping tale of two young lovers whose forbidden love crosses the boundaries of rival kingdoms and marital commitment. A memorable story that draws you in further, envelops you in the estranged love that stretches beyond the sea that separates England and Ireland, and breaks your heart every time. It defines the feats that true love will go to - that it can go beyond life, that it is greater than death, that it is the epitome of happiness and sorrow...

Basically... Tristan and Isolde fell in love when Isolde saved Tristan's life. Isolde lies about her identity, concealing the fact that she's a princess. They got separated. Isolde eventually married Lord Marke... Tristan's master. They forged one of the greatest, most tragic and yet most unbelievably beautiful love affairs in the history of fiction.

As for the song. Yes, they've made a record. My friend's name is Herbert Humphrey and his band is called Fat Elephant.

Don't ask me why.

I'll upload it in a jiffy.
