about

"When I was a little girl back in Altoona I dreamed of the limitless boundaries of what my own mind could offer. I would sit in my bedroom and dream about him, and listen to his music. Jackie's early records could take me places. Places that medication never could."
—Clarice

To Clarice and her friends growing up, Jackie was a God. His profound inspiration pushed her to start writing and performing her own music, leading her to form her first band. My Dog Precious, went on to have the moderately successful post-pop-punk-new wave-indie-dance hit, "Are You About A Size 14?"

Clarice chose the song, "Slow", because, "it represents the loving bond between the creatures we choose to have amongst us—and allow to live with us—in our homes. As pets." Adding further, "when I sing the line 'I will pick you up into my arms' it makes me wish that my new cat, Fava, was more like my old cat, Beans, and would, kinda, like, just…jump in my arms!”

LYRICS

A blue sky
Won't make you cry
It wont make you smile or realize

A shot across your bow
Is going to leave you mad and confused
Or feeling used

I will pick you up into my arms

Predicting you is just like placing a bet
Or describing Romeo when he first laid eyes on Juliet
Remember your past fame and dream of future glory
It will leave you time to change the end of the story
