The song is about the comfort of having someone by your side during those intense, introspective moments, finding solace and understanding in a partner who is always there. Navigating the complexities of past and present experiences. Ultimately, it’s a thank you to my partner, who makes my side of the bed feel like home.”
Loose Buttons’ Eric Nizgretsky on “My Side Of The Bed”: “This song came to life as I wandered the quiet, orange-hued streets of Brighton Beach, where my parents and grandparents first lived when they immigrated from Ukraine to Brooklyn – reflecting on my family’s history and my own emotions. I often think about my folks and the dreams they had to let go just so that I could be here.
“My Side Of The Bed” is the first release from this four-piece of lifelong New Yorkers since January. Before that, 2022-2023 was largely spent throwing a series of benefit shows for Ukrainian relief efforts around New York, teaming with locally-based artists including Michael Imperioli (Zopa), Aaron Maine (Porches), Anna Shoemaker, Eugene Hutz (Golgol Bordello) and Jonathan Toubin.
Recent shows include a sold-out Webster Hall, multiple headlining nights at Baby’s All Right, and a full-capacity east coast tour. The band is fronted by Eric Nizgretsky – a first-generation Ukrainian-American with Kyiv roots – and together they’ve spent much of the past year organizing a series of benefit shows to help those wounded and displaced in the country.
