Jesse Carey Molloy (born April 29, 1975)[1][2][3] is an American saxophone player and music producer originating from Ashland, Oregon. He is currently based in Los Angeles.

At the age of nine, Molloy was at a local church with his family and saw a man playing Amazing Grace on the saxophone. This inspired him to also want to play the instrument, and his parents got him an alto saxophone the following Christmas.[4] Molloy received private lessons and also played in his high school's band.

Molloy graduated from Southern Oregon University in 2001[1] and after college joined a soul-jazz group based in San Diego, California. The group toured frequently and averaged about 150 shows a year. He later relocated to San Diego full time and began playing with several local bands and touring groups before moving to Los Angeles. Molloy did some shows with T-Boz from the group TLC as well as Mike Posner.[4] He was a long time touring member of the group The Pink Floyd Experience. Since 2009, he has been a member of the production duo Crush Effect with David Veith.[5][6][7][8] Molloy began touring with Panic! at the Disco in 2017.[9]

In 2017, Molloy was recruited by The Midnight to play the saxophone at the band's first-ever live show in San Francisco.[10][11] He continued to played saxophone for most of the band's live shows up until the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour. Molloy played the saxophone on the song Deep Blue from The Midnight's 2020 album Monsters. This was his first time playing saxophone for the band on a studio release. Later in 2020, he contributed to the band's EP Horror Show, co-writing the song Good in Red and playing the saxophone on Because The Night. In 2022, Molloy played saxophone on the track Brooklyn. Friday. Love. from the album Heroes.[12]

Lyrics

总有更加先进的一代
There will always be a more advanced generation
不断被制造出来
Being manufactured
我并不失落
I’m not sad
也不会很寂寞
And I won’t be too lonely
只是在被遗忘的角落
Though I will be blue
偶尔会闷闷不乐
When left in the corner of forgotten
这其实也没有什么
And it’s really nothing
所有我们曾看到和触摸到的一切
Everything we used to see and touch
都在不断消逝 而最终消失
Decaying as they are, Will all be gone eventually
如果终将一败涂地
If we were to fail in the end
未来不再需要你
You won’t be needed in the future

Like you know it’s a heart beating now that can melt away and bury everything
Extremely hard as a stone and sometimes fragile
As you know time is so fast as if we never separated
I won’t cry just hold me tight
just hold me tight

I am the ticking of the clockwork stars
I am the fragments of the beating heart
Waiting on a fainting spark
To warm me in the cold
I am the dying leaf upon this tree
I’ll maybe last a century
Waiting on a gentle breeze
To cast these sails to shore
Only a fool would ask for more

Like you know it’s a heart beating now that can melt away and bury everything
Extremely hard as a stone and sometimes fragile
As you know time is so fast as if we never separated
I won’t cry just hold me tight

Like you know it’s a heart beating now that can melt away and bury everything
Extremely hard as a stone and sometimes fragile
As you know time is so fast as if we never separated
I won’t cry just hold me tight

just hold me tight
just hold me tight
just hold me tight
just hold me tight
