Ever got a song stuck in your head?
Of course you have. We're all human after all.
The song that has been stuck in our heads lately is 'Flashlight' by Jessie J. Everyone is basically annoyed by us as we kept singing and humming the tune of the song over and over again in school.
Here's the music video of the song that is from the movie sequel,
Pitch Perfect 2.
Alongside with the lyrics:
When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found,
I lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along
And I sing along
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight
I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
Light light you're my flashlight
Light light light light light, oh
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
You're my flash, oh
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
(You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
Light light
You're my flashlight
Light light ye-yeah
You're my flashlight
These are our opinions on it:

"I'm stuck in the darkness but you're my flashlight." This is one of my favorite lines from one of the best songs this century - Flashlight by Jessie J. This song is also the official soundtrack for the movie "Pitch Perfect 2"! It was indeed a great movie.
In my point of view, this song is a very powerful song. It describes about the Barden Bellas, who's a group of 8 young ladies matching pitch to sing, and their strong bond between one another.Their friendship was unbreakable, no matter what obstacles they face. Other than that, the video also has small snippets of Jessie J dancing around Barden University which is the university the Barden Bellas are from. She didn't take the central attention but the small parts of the movie did.
I also find this song really inspiring as it shows that nobody who we get into a fight with, there's always a way to fix it. As in the music video, the story behind it which is about a guy who got in a fight with his girlfriend and fixed their relationship when Jessie J gave him advice to apologized to her. It fit the lyrics of the song as they realized that they are meant for each other. It was truly an amazing story for the song.
I really like the song, the music video and even the movie! I would recommend all you Wanderlustful Dreamers to watch it, eventually the song will be stuck in your head too! So yeah.. GO WATCH IT! I'm ending this by saying that this song was one of the highlights of my life and will be remembered. i would give it 11/10.
That's all for now! Thank you for reading this.
Bye, Best Friends! :)

Based on my personal opinion, this song is like a breath of fresh air to me. In this day and age, many songs are all about inappropriate matters and topics. An infamous example would be the song, 'Anaconda'.
The song, 'Flashlight' portrays about friendship, teamwork and bonds between the people you love and care about the most in your life. In the first and second verse, it tells us that no one should be left alone, standing on it's two feet with nobody there to help along them through the journey. It's natural of us, humans to feel scared and nervous of the unknown. We would lose hope and doubt our skills without someone there to support us along the way.
The chorus tells us that someone plays an important role in our life, guiding us through the 'dark' and helping us when we stumble and fall. They make it easier for us as they are our flashlight to help survive the night. I think the song fits perfectly with the movie, 'Pitch Perfect 2' as it's all about teamwork and friendships.
The music video partly shows a couple who breaks up in the beginning but they started to realise how they can't be seperated as they need each other as their flashlights. Also, Jessie J did a really good job in not taking away our attention from the lyrics by just dancing around and not doing anything absurd. It captures our attention to the lyrics and it's meaning by also showing snippets from the movie of how they bonded and needed one another.
The song and music video is just absolutely amazing. It's definitely a hit song on the radios. It is also something different from all the other songs that aren't friendly to children. Thank you for reading my opinion ;) I'm ending it by saying that I love your sunglasses Jessie J.
Peace out ya'll. Pecan needs her sleep.

Hey guys! It’s Fudge here. Okay from the title of this blogpost, you would already know what we’re going to talk about. The three of us here, just couldn’t get the song ‘Flashlight’ out of our heads. It’s just so catchy and it’s also from one of our favourite movies too. Let’s get to it shall we?
I think this song is amazing in general. It has a catchy tune, a great meaning behind it, an simple yet great music video, a great singer to sing it - basically the whole package. The singer is singing about how whenever she’s frightened, in doubt or sad, she remembers that she doesn’t need to feel those emotions because she has someone there to catch her when she falls. It’s a simple song with a deep meaning behind it. Everyone could relate to helping a friend in need or being helped by a friend.
The song describes how one could easily get lost in the darkness full of fear and doubt but they would have a friend there to be their flashlight and help them lead the way through the darkness. The music video is great too because the singer doesn’t take too much attention away from the song itself which is good as music videos these days don’t even relate to the song and takes all the attention away from the song.
The cut-out scenes from the movie ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ also mashes well with the song as the scenes are when the characters are bonding together and helping each other out. It also captures the moment of true friendship - when a friend would do just about anything to cheer you up and to make sure you’re okay. I would give it a good 10/10.
This song as been judged by Fudge.

Peace.
