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.

Are 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..
