With “Schrödinger’s Cats,” Aaron Koenig doesn’t overthink the science — he uses it as a feeling. The song sits in that uneasy space where a relationship isn’t clearly broken or secure, but somehow both at once. It’s a clever idea, sure, but what really makes it work is how natural it feels. There’s no sense of trying to impress. Instead, it comes across like someone quietly admitting they don’t know where things are heading, and living in that uncertainty.
The music keeps things loose and easy. There’s a relaxed groove running through the track, pulling from rock with a light reggae touch that gives it warmth and movement. The slide guitar drifts in with just enough bite to hint at what’s underneath the calm surface, while the harmonies open the song up without making it feel big or dramatic. Everything sounds played, not polished to death, which gives the track an honesty that matches the lyrics.
As part of Blow My Mind!, “Schrödinger’s Cats” feels like one of those songs that sneaks up on you. It’s simple on the surface, but it lingers because of how real it feels. Koenig knows how to write songs that are easy to enjoy while still carrying a quiet emotional weight. This one doesn’t shout its message — it just sits with you, letting the meaning settle in on its own.
