"Apple Cider Vinegar by the Dublin based band Stunt Lover is probably the most honest and heavy thing you will hear today. Kay Bear Koss’s voice is terrifyingly sincere and intense bringing to memory Swans and Cave’s early years with The Birthday Party. The song slowly progresses over very basic yet impressively efficient riffs until switching direction into more heavier grounds towards the end."
-Eclectic Magazine [UK]
ALSO- fun fact- probably the most autobiographical song on an entire album full of autobiographical songs. Three verses each reference a well-known location in Dublin.
lyrics
I wish your suitcase had bust wide open and that strange little jar you packed had broken and the apple cider vinegar inside had soaked into your knit clothes / that way everybody walking past maybe going somewhere sunnier would leave this town knowing that same bad taste you left inside my throat.
I wish I would've turned around on Dame Street when you came home early and you asked to meet so your winter words would be received while you were wearing your summer clothes / that way everybody walking past hand in hand would see you waiting and see you standing there, just like you left me all alone
I wish you would've fallen to your knees when you heard "Turn Me On" at Button Factory... fallen into the dirt and beer and stained your jeans, 'cause for you I wore my pretty clothes / that way everybody drinking and dancing around would see you suffocate and see you drown in shame for all the shit you let go down while they listened to CocoRosie
But I'll get up, get posi, it's a beautiful day / don't ever let this town drag you down that way / what's the story, did I lose the plot? / do you love me a little, do you like me a lot?
Get up, get posi it's a beautiful day
Get up, get posi it's a beautiful day
Get up, get posi it's a beautiful day
But I'll get up, get posi, it's a beautiful day / when the sun is shining don't turn your face away / what's the story, did I lose the plot? / do you love me a little, do you like me a lot?
Get up, get posi it's a beautiful day
Get up, get posi it's a beautiful day
Get up, get posi it's a beautiful day
