The results of her labors are the nine songs that make up the self-titled album Jean on Jean. The sound is warm, lush and orchestrated, like Colin Blunstone’s One Year or Judee Sill’s Heart Food. And like those records, the lyrics are personal, focused on the highs and lows that go along with any major change.
Molly has enlisted some friends for the Jean on Jean live band: Rafael Cohen, who plays on the record and formerly played in Supersystem; Olivia Mori, and Eric Emm, who did further mixing and producing on the album (along with brother Joshua Ryan) at Brothers Studio.

Jean on Jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traveller staring expectantly
Where's your laughter and sweet fun company
I don't know what you were picturing
I don't know what you were picturing
Sad, sad eyes still waiting on a smile
Don't you know, searching is futile
Between your heart and a stable life
Between your heart and a stable life
But hey, don't you know?
You'll always join yourself for the ride
And I find my company just fine
Finally
Finally
Silly girl why this way talking
Big bad world got you which way walking
If you were hearing words from another mouth
You'd tell em quiet or spit them right out
You'd tell em quiet or spit them right out
But hey, don't you know?
You'll always join yourself for the ride
And I find my company just fine
Finally

In these lyrics, Jean is reflecting on a relationship with someone who is portrayed as a "wanderer" and a "traveler." The singer questions why this person always seems to be searching for something and feeling tied between their heart and a stable life. The phrase "I don't know what you were picturing" suggests that the singer is confused about what this person's expectations were in the relationship.
The first verse emphasizes the sadness in the eyes of the person Jean is addressing, indicating their longing for happiness and a smile. The line "searching is futile" implies that this person's constant searching may not lead to the desired fulfillment. It also highlights the dichotomy between the person's heart and their desire for stability in life.
However, the chorus takes a more positive turn. Jean acknowledges that regardless of this person's searching and inner conflicts, they will always be there for themselves. On the other hand, the singer expresses contentment in finding their own company and being finally at peace.
In the second verse, Jean addresses the person directly, referring to them as a "silly girl." This suggests a familiarity or closeness between the two. The singer questions why this person talks in a certain way, perhaps indicating a lack of confidence or assertiveness. The line "big bad world got you which way walking" implies that the person is easily influenced by external factors.
The verse continues with the notion that if this person were to hear the same words from someone else, they would either tell them to be quiet or reject their words outright. This suggests that the person may be more receptive to criticism or judgment from themselves rather than others.
Once again, the chorus reinforces the idea that despite the challenges and uncertainties that this person may experience, they will always be there for themselves. Meanwhile, the singer finds solace in their own company and reaches a state of contentment, finally at peace.
