For over 7 years he was the singer, bassist and songwriter of a band who rocked North Germany with a dark melodic grunge-rock sound. After moving to Berlin and being inspired by his influences Jan found his passion in electronic music. Making a tough decision to quit the band, he traded his guitar for an apc40 and 5x8Spur-Matrix and began producing and performing solo.
Today his sound can be described as a mixture of Radiohead, Muse, Bodi Bill, Stephan Bodzin and James Holden - a beautiful balancing act between melancholic, melodic electro-pop and euphoric minimal techno making Jan one of the most interesting and promising young artist in Berlin at the moment."
I Don't Think About You
Jan Blomqvist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think about you.
I don't think about you.
I don't think about you.
I don't think about you.
I don't think about you.
I don't think about you.
I don't think about you.
I don't think about you.
The tape that I made you,
don't ever remind me of you.
I don't think about you.
When I notice your toothbrush
by the sink with a coath of dust...
No, I don't think about you.
Your smell on the pillow
helps me to let go
and not think about you.
The words that I made you
I remember and use...
Still I don't think about you
When I find your hair,
next to your jacket on my white desk chair...
No, I don't think about you.
Jan Blomqvist's song "I Don't Think About You" is a melancholic ode to moving on from a past relationship. The repetition of the line "I don't think about you" speaks to the singer's determination to forget and move on. However, the following lyrics reveal that forgetting isn't always so simple: the tape he made for her no longer reminds him of her, yet he still remembers and uses the words he made for her. Similarly, he can smell her on the pillow, and finds her hair on his white desk chair, but manages to resist thinking about her nonetheless.
These lines detail the ways in which memories of a past love can linger, but also the singer's resolve to let go and move forward. The repetition of the titular line serves as both a statement of resolve and a reminder of the singer's struggle to forget.
Overall, "I Don't Think About You" is a heartrending expression of the complicated nature of letting go and moving on from a past relationship. The song's lyrics and melancholic melody create a sense of longing and loss, while also suggesting the possibility of healing and moving forward.

When I was with my ex - this song would would remind me of her, and our times together.
I come back to this song for nostalgia, and love. 🖤

An epic track with addictive proportions. I feel it, taking me into a state of euphoric trance, calming me during my anxiety and panic after much pent up stress at the office.
