Slank

Songwriter: Endank Soekamti

Malam ini
Kembali sadari aku sendiri
Gelap ini
Kembali sadari engkau telah pergi

Malam ini
Kata hati harus terpenuhi
Gelap ini
Kata hati ingin kau kembali

Hembus dinginnya angin lautan
Tak hilang ditelan bergelas-gelas arak
Yang kutenggakkan ooo

Malam ini
Kubernyanyi lepas isi hati
Gelap ini
Kuucap berjuta kata maki
Malam ini
Bersama bulan aku menari
Gelap ini
Ditepi pantai aku menangis

Tanpa dirimu dekat dimataku
Aku bagai ikan tanpa air
Tanpa dirimu ada disisiku
Aku bagai hiu tanpa taring
Tanpa dirimu dekap dipelukku
Aku bagai pantai tanpa lautan

Kembalilah kasih ooo Kembalilah kasih

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.
