Good Day Noir Family,
Pierre Englebert’s “I Should Have Stayed in Our Own Bed” opens with a sharp, dry drum hit — nothing flashy, just precise and deliberate — the kind of intro that signals control.

Then, a short but expressive guitar solo slides in, polished and reminiscent of Clapton at his most restrained. It doesn’t overstay; it just sets the mood, subtle and intentional.
The verse enters gently, carried by a delicate arpeggio and a soft, elevated vocal delivery that feels vulnerable and composed. Englebert’s voice doesn’t force emotion — it simply floats, letting the words carry their weight.
The composition is rich in nuance, hinting at a lifetime of songwriting experience. It’s structured without being predictable, refined without being cold.
Lyrically, the track tackles the painful honesty of regret — a quiet meditation on betrayal, longing, and the messy aftermath of choices we can’t undo.
There’s a poetic depth here, an understanding of how personal failure can also be a shared human truth. A late appearance of a female voice adds another layer, almost like a ghost circling back to echo a past decision — not accusatory, but hauntingly present.
Touches of Bowie drift in and out — not in imitation, but in spirit. There’s a theatrical restraint, a careful shaping of mood and tone that refuses to rush.
The song doesn’t try to punch you in the chest. Instead, it builds a space around you — a space filled with reflection, doubt, and the bittersweet beauty of being human.
“I Should Have Stayed in Our Own Bed” is a standout — not because it shouts for attention, but because it whispers something that lingers long after the final note.
