lyrics: |
  Internet of things
  What a thing, man
  I'll make an NFT
  Be a rich man

  Might be the end of days
  In my lifespan
  Should I procreate
  Or just use my hand?

  Does anybody know a thing
  Does anybody really matter
  Is anybody listening probably
  Not not not not

  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it

  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it

  Is Schrödinger alive?
  Well yes and no
  A koan in disguise
  A particle
  And my identity
  I have on loan
  But if time don't exist
  Then we're all simultaneously
  Eternal

  Does anybody know a thing
  Does anybody really matter
  Is anybody listening probably
  Not not not not

  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it

  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it
  Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it

  Think about it

Track one on [*KŌAN*](/albums/koan/), opener of **KŌAN A** (March 18, 2022), full LP September 9, 2022. Luke solo on a spatial, headphone-built EP. [Glasse Factory](https://glassefactory.com/scoobert-dooberts-new-track-think-about-it-is-experimental-funk-at-its-finest/) called it experimental funk, ambient layers tipping into alt-rock guitar and then an indie-pop-funk anthem. **Radio premiere:** [@thedropwithdanno](https://www.instagram.com/thedropwithdanno/) hosted a **full-hour guest session** on **GFN** (98.7 Gwangju · 93.7 Yeosu, South Korea) with [@thedamyanghouse](https://www.instagram.com/thedamyanghouse/) — **world premiere** of *Think About It* on **February 25, 2022** ([podcast replay](https://podbay.fm/p/the-drop-with-danno-on-gfn/e/1645786860)), three weeks before KŌAN A dropped; on-air CHAI production thread · [Instagram recap](https://www.instagram.com/p/CagJIpehMDgyck9nJ7tnJoDKsKF8xrXnXEvlII0/) (Feb 27) · [Spotify guest playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/77UWmPK3oGauWe5xs5d2S6) · screenshot on [/music/#photos](/music/#photos). The hook works like [*Don't Worry*](/songs/dont-worry/) on [*Big Hug*](/albums/big-hug/), a command that fails on contact: *don't think I'm not thinking 'bout it* runs eight times, and saying it makes you do it.

Underneath the funk is a 2022 dread stack, NFTs and the end of days and *should I procreate or just use my hand?* The bridge condenses the record's title, [Schrödinger's cat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat) read as Zen paradox: *is Schrödinger alive? well yes and no, a koan in disguise.* Identity comes on loan, and if time doesn't exist we're all simultaneously eternal.

This is the front of the LP's hinge, [*Think About It*](/songs/think-about-it/) into [*SHIAWASE NO IMI*](/songs/shiawase-no-imi/) into [*Keep Calm Atomic Bomb*](/songs/keep-calm-atomic-bomb/) ([*KŌAN* essay](/albums/koan/)): paradox jokes, happiness-pop, atomic dread. Pairs with [無門関](/songs/mumonkan/) and [*What Makes You You*](/songs/what-makes-you-you/) on the Zen and identity thread.
