Flashlight

A flashlight (more often called a torch outside North America) is a portable hand-held electric light. Usually, the source of the light is a small incandescent light bulb or light-emitting diode (LED). A typical flashlight consists of a light bulb mounted in a reflector, a transparent cover (sometimes combined with a lens) to protect the light source and reflector, a battery, and a switch. These are supported and protected by a case.

The invention of the dry cell and miniature incandescent electric light bulbs made the first battery-powered flashlights possible around 1899. Today flashlights use mostly incandescent lamps or light-emitting diodes and run on disposable or rechargeable batteries. Some are powered by the user turning a crank or shaking the lamp, and some have solar panels to recharge a battery.

In addition to the general-purpose hand-held flashlight, many forms have been adapted for special uses. Head or helmet-mounted flashlights designed for miners and campers leave the hands free. Some flashlights can be used underwater or in flammable atmospheres.

Flashlight (Jessie J song)

"Flashlight" is a song recorded by British recording artist Jessie J for the soundtrack to the film Pitch Perfect 2 (2015). The song was written by Sia Furler, Christian Guzman, Jason Moore and Sam Smith. The song was originally obtained when one pre-ordered the Pitch Perfect 2 soundtrack in the United States, beginning 23 April 2015; it later became available for download on its own. "Flashlight" was released in the UK on 11 May 2015 both on the soundtrack and as a stand-alone single. Flashlight was particularly successful in Australia, peaking at number two, and number seven in New Zealand.

Critical reception

Flashlight received generally mixed reviews. In a less favourable review, Steven J. Horowitz of Billboard gave the song two stars out of five, saying: "prone to funny bone shout-singing on her more upbeat singles, Jessie J dials back her vocal force on the tepid "Flashlight", off the Pitch Perfect 2 soundtrack. The more subtle delivery would be welcome if the track weren't so paint-by-numbers, it plays like a pantomime of a Sia ballad, but without the emotive edge."

Flashlight (DJ Fresh song)

"Flashlight" is a song by English recording artist Ellie Goulding featuring production work from DJ Fresh, released as the fourth single from Fresh's forthcoming fourth studio album. It was released on 28 September 2014 in the United Kingdom as a single, although it was previously out on Goulding's album from 2013. The song features English recording artist Ellie Goulding and also included as one of the tracks on Goulding's Halcyon Days (2013), the reissue of her second studio album, Halcyon (2012). The song was written by The Invisible Men, Dan Stein and Ellie Goulding.

Background

In an interview with Capital FM on 9 February 2014, DJ Fresh revealed that he and Goulding had recorded a new version of the song "Flashlight" for single release later in 2014.

Music video

An audio track to accompany the release of "Flashlight" was first released onto YouTube on 6 June 2014 at a total length of three minutes and thirty four seconds.

Flashlight

by: Syd Tha Kyd

Ohh, baby.
My heart is with you now.
But do you know how to love me?
Your heart it beats for me.
I'm the only thing you've got to hold onto.
My mind tells me to let you go.
But my heart said no.
My mind tells me that this is wrong.
But your love's too strong.
And now I'm caught in the middle.
You took away my flashlight.
Now I'm walking in the dark.
Thinking why'd I even stop
to think that this could be love.
Is it too late to turn back now?
Now that I've given you my heart.
Before this whole thing falls apart.
But could this be love?
Could this be love?
Could this be love?
Could this be love?
I'm no longer safe when you look my way.
You've become my everything.
Is this a mistake?
Baby, when you put, put that thing on me.
I just, I just can't explain.
This is a mistake.
And I hate to be selfish, baby.
But what about me?
If you leave you take it all.
You know I wouldn't leave you, baby.
So say you'll be mine.
Maybe together we'll find
The words that describe love.
If what we both feel inside is love.
You took away my flashlight.
Now I'm walking in the dark.
Thinking why'd I even stop
To think that this could be love.
Is it too late to turn back now?
Now that I've given you my heart.
Before this whole thing falls apart.
But could this be love, love?
Could this be love?
Could this be love, love?
Could this be love? Love, yeah.
If this is love,
I'm just glad it's with you and baby,
I hope this never ends.
Let's make it last forever.
oooh ooh ooh , oooh oooh oooooh baby.
