Devlora Releases 'Numb', Based on the True Story of Voead Gober that Almost Triggered a Fight with His Wife

Kapanlagi.com - A work often arises from deep personal experiences. This is what the music duo Devlora aims to convey through their latest single. Led by Voead Gober (guitarist) and Aris (vocalist), this band officially launched their second single titled Numb.

Devlora candidly reveals that this song is not just fiction, but part of a trilogy that is interconnected and inspired by the true story of the guitarist, Voead. This song is a continuation of their first single, Choosing to Part.

"So I intentionally made this with a trilogy concept, where we will work on three singles that are interconnected in their stories from the first to the third single," Voead stated when met in the Tebet area, South Jakarta, on Sunday (3/8/2025).

1. Heartfelt Confession

Openly, Voead admits that this song is his heartfelt confession about the past that resurfaces when he has already built a new life. His story begins when his ex-girlfriend suddenly reappears just as he is about to get married.

"In our first single, we chose to part ways, and it was very clear that this ex wanted to get back together just as this guy was about to get married," he said.

The story in the song "Mati Rasa" becomes more complex. Three years after Voead got married, his ex contacted him again to ask for help. However, Voead's good intentions to help were misinterpreted. The ex felt comfortable and once again asked to rekindle their relationship.

"It turns out this girl ended up feeling comfortable again. And indeed, knowing that I have a partner, I am already married, she still insisted on getting back together," Voead explained.

The experience he poured into this song actually sparked some tension in his marriage. Voead confessed that his wife initially did not know the details behind the song, which eventually led to small arguments between them.

"And it did lead to some arguments actually. At first, she didn't know. Initially, she didn't know," said the man who is also the main songwriter for Devlora.

3. The End of the Story in the Third Single

Although being the source of the story, Voead is not alone in the creative process. Aris, as the vocalist, is also involved to delve into the story so that he can convey the emotions of the song accurately. This process, according to Aris, requires him to truly understand the feelings experienced by his friend.

As a closing, Voead gives a little hint that this dramatic tale will find its conclusion in the third single. Meanwhile, he also jokingly mentioned that his wife is still waiting for the song that is specifically created for her, not about the ex.
