History
Beginnings (1986-1991)
Dewa was first formed in 1986 by four students from a junior high school SMPN 6 in Surabaya. The name Dewa originated as an acronym of the founding members' names: D from Dhani (keyboard, vocals), E from Erwin Prasetya (bass guitar), W from Wawan Juniarso (drums) and A from Andra (guitar). Dewa is also an Indonesian word meaning 'god', or 'deity'. The band was initially based at Wawan's dorm in the Airlangga University complex.
Wanting to take a different direction, Wawan left the band in 1988 and formed Outsider with Ari Lasso. The name Dewa was changed to Down Beat which became a reasonably well-known name in East Java during that time.
Republik Cinta
Republik Cinta is the 8th studio album by Dewa 19 and was released in January 2006 in Indonesia; the title translates into "Republic of Love". The album reached #1 on the Indonesian album charts and has since been released in other Asian territories including Malaysia and a Chinese release via EMI in Hong Kong.
This was Dewa's first album for EMI Indonesia after parting company with their long-term label Aquarius Musikindo in 2005.
The album spawned four radio hit singles, "Laskar Cinta", "Selimut Hati","Larut", and "Sedang Ingin Bercinta". "Laskar Cinta" reached # 1 on almost every mainstream radio station in Indonesia. The video clips for all three hits also received heavy rotation on local TV and cable music channels, including MTV Asia.

LIVE ON
by: Dewa 19Are you lookin for an answer
For your lonely life seems more absurd?..
You're spinning faster
On your own merry go round
Screaming out in silence..Longing for a piece of mind
You're searching deeper in vain..
But all you hear is the same old sound..
Tired of twisting your mind..
Conscience has become undone..
You need a break for a while..
You gotta let it all out..
Or you'll fall into pieces
#Reff#:
LIVE ON MOVE ON JUST LET GO..
RECLAIM YOUR SOUL AND LET IT TAKE CONTROL
LIVE ON MOVE ON JUST LET GO..
RECLAIM YOUR SOUL AND LET IT TAKE CONTROL
You've been seeking out for thrills
In a universe unreal
All the clues you have found have been leading you round and round
Tired of twisting your mind..
Conscience has become undone..
You need a break for a while..
You gotta let it all out..
Or you'll fall into pieces
LIVE ON MOVE ON JUST LET GO..
RECLAIM YOUR SOUL AND LET IT TAKE CONTROL
LIVE ON MOVE ON JUST LET GO..
