Slank

Songwriter: Slank

Aku datang ke Ebony
Bawa segudang problema
Yang telah lama bersarang di hati
Penuh isi kepala
Coba hilangkan benak yang semakin
Menghitam
Yang telah lama menyerang otakku
Yang kini retak

Penuh kepulan asap ruang semakin sesak
Aroma arak sengat hidungku
Panaskan darahku

Penuh gadis-gadis muda
Dengan tawa yang manja
Bergoyang-goyang gaya menantang
Debarkan jantungku

Otakku benak hitamku
Yang tlah retak kini terasa pecah

Aku bingung saat Ladies Night di Ebony
Aku bingung saat Ladies Night di Ebony

Musik semakin keras, lagu semakin panas
Teriak orang semakin keras
Suasana makin panas
Kuping serasa pecah, mata serasa buta
Tubuhku lemas, tubuhku goyah
Jiwaku melayang

Otakku benak hitamku
Yang tlah gelap kini semakin gelap

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.
