Leave it to Aaron Koenig to turn quantum physics into a love song, and somehow make it hit way too close to home. “Schrödinger’s Cats” plays with contradiction the same way real relationships do: loving and arguing, close and distant, all happening at once. If you’ve ever been stuck in that emotional in-between, this song gets it.

Built on a blend of rock and reggae, the track moves with an easy, swaying rhythm that keeps things grounded while the lyrics spiral into bigger ideas. The slide guitar adds a slow-burn sensual edge, and the harmony vocals, courtesy of producer Alejandro de Feo, give the song a layered, almost floating feel. It sounds warm and human, which makes sense since everything here is hand-played. No digital shortcuts, no AI tricks, just real instruments and real emotion.
Koenig leans fully into the metaphor. Comparing a relationship to Schrödinger’s famous thought experiment shouldn’t work, but it does. Being “happy and sad,” “together and split up,” feels painfully familiar. What starts as a clever concept quickly turns into something universal, especially when he asks whether love can survive constant tension, or collapse under it.

“Schrödinger’s Cats” is thoughtful without being heavy, playful without dodging the truth. It’s a smart reminder that sometimes love exists in two states at once, and we’re all just trying to figure out which one wins.
