My Side of the Bed by Loose Buttons digs deep into the immigrant experience without resorting to clichés.

Eric Nizgretsky’s vocals carry the weight of his Ukrainian family’s journey, transforming Brighton Beach’s streets into a backdrop for introspection.

The song’s instrumentation does the heavy lifting. Guitars alternate between clean tones and gritty textures, mirroring the contrast between nostalgia and harsh realities.

The bass grounds the track with a steady, familial pulse. Drums push the narrative forward, while subtle keyboard layers add emotional depth.

Nizgretsky’s lyrics skip the usual tropes. He doesn’t wax poetic about the American Dream.

Instead, he offers a raw thank you to his partner, acknowledging the comfort found in shared moments of reflection.

This isn’t a grandiose statement about love conquering all. It’s a snapshot of real, everyday support during late-night contemplations.

The band avoids the temptation to turn this into an overwrought epic.

They keep it intimate, letting the story breathe through carefully crafted musical moments.

My Side of the Bed won’t change the world, but it might change how you view your own family history.

Loose Buttons have created something unexpectedly poignant here. It’s a song that makes you want to dig through old photo albums and maybe call your grandparents.

Not because it tells you to, but because it reminds you of the stories waiting to be uncovered in your own past.
