Slank

Songwriter: Slank

Waktu kau jauh dariku
Kuingin engkau disini
Tapi saat itu terjadi
Kuingin engkau pergi-pergi dan jangan kembali

Terlalu lama kita berpisah
Hilang kepercayaan jadi tak peduli lagi
Ku tak mau lagi menunggu dan berharap uuu
Ku tak mau lagi ku tak kuat lagi
Ku tak tahan lagi ooo

Nggak perlu kau bilang cinta
Setelah kau hancurkan mimpi-mimpi
Nggak perlu janji setia
Malah cuman menambah beban di dalam hati

Lebih baik kau jauh dariku
Biar kubakar sejarahmu dalam otakku
Lebih baik kau jauh dariku
Karna kan menyesal waktu kau tahu siapa diriku

Slank was formed in 1983 through a school band at a local high school in Slank Jakarta, Indonesia, which named CSC (Cikini Stone Complex). Their main founder, Bimo Setiawan (Bimbim) and their fellow bandmates often played a number of Rolling Stones songs at school. The band later changed its name and personnel to SLANK, with Bimbim on drums, Erwan on vocals, Bongky on guitars, Denny on bass and Kiki on guitars. The name SLANK itself was taken from their musical attitude, which was, and is still reckless, ignorant and play with undetailed groove (Slengean in Indonesian).

In the following years, numbers of personnel changes were made, with Pay on guitars, Kaka on vocals and Indra on keyboard, replacing the previous bandmates.

Although they started their journey in the music industry quite roughly, with numerous of rejected demos, SLANK emerged in 1991 with their “The Best Newcomer” award in BASF event. Successes did not always come for SLANK, when three of their personnel, Bongky, Indra and Pay chose to quit the band, and formed their own band (BIP). Following the resignation, Abdee, Ivan and Ridho joined the band, and since then, SLANK has never changed its personnel again.
