Pierre Englebert’s “I Should Have Stayed in Our Own Bed” is a soft, acoustic gut-check, ethereal and aching, built around regret and melodic strength. The track opens quietly: “And when the sun came out, I’d made my bed / Next thing I knew, I’d sleep in it.” From the jump, it’s confessional, exposing the mess left in the wake of infidelity.

Pierre doesn’t dramatize. Instead, he leans into the pain, delivering lines like “Mistakes were made / Lives were innocent or shattered” with poetic detachment that somehow makes it hit harder. The chorus is where the ghost enters, the haunting voice of the partner echoing through, more memory than presence. The melody takes flight, shifting through key changes that add tension without losing that dreamy, John-Lennon-esque atmosphere.

Lines like “You should have read the holes in my eyes and took the fall / I should have stayed in bed instead” feel both cinematic and deeply personal. With subtle production and a strong melodic arc, this track lives in the space between guilt and yearning.
It’s a haunting, late-night kind of song. One for quiet rooms, headphones, and thoughts you can’t shake.
Pierre’s emotional IQ is on full display—and so is his melodic genius.
