This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
I couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
A song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created and cremated
Ashes of the words I spoke
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Memory of a mother
Shared my dreams and really cared
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
I know I wasn't there……
For you
Would have placed
A magic carpet
'neath your weak and shaky legs
Would have raised
A strong west wind
Let you breathe with ease again
Would have bribed
God's venal angels
Come and soothe your endless pain
Would have vanquished
All the demons
And bring peace to you again
Be the child
I never knew
In a land
We won't grow old
Be the light
I always loved
Warmed my dark
And lonely soul
Be the girl
Playing games
In a world
The sun won't set
Be the laughter
Calms my heart
I never will forget
I won't forget, won't forget
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
Couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
Song about old promises
Made so long ago
Ashes of the words I spoke
I broke my promises, oh mama
Now you've gone away
I'm broken
Drowning in the pain each day
I'm drowning…drowning...drowning…drowning
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me…….

In all my life I've always dreamed
I'll meet someone lovely like you
As if our lasting love was meant
We'll be together all life through,
Just like a whistle in the wind.
We meandered through our life together
Living in one large oversize chamber
We pass from soft spring to winter weather
Through all thick and thin we'll just remember.
The vast universe was ours to enjoy
As if our spacious room has no more walls,
Say who can dare our lasting love destroy,
I hear the whistle in the wind that calls.
In all my life I've always dreamed
I'll meet someone lovely like you
As if our lasting love was meant
We'll be together all life through,
Just like a whistle in the wind.
Listen my love, just listen o my dear
The wind is whistling our beautiful song
Our love tune comes over so clear, so clear,
Thus in bliss we will make love all night long.
Yet one day all this must forever end,
Like a loving whistle in the wild wind,
We hope that any of our faults we mend
And become new and fine as sweet as mint.
In all my life I've always dreamed
I'll meet someone lovely like you
As if our lasting love was meant
We'll be together all life through,
Just like a whistle in the wind.

I'm not really sure how to explain
This strange feeling with my feeble brain-
It's driving me a new kind of insane.
If I believed in love, then in love I would be.
This bitter, cold heart is set ablaze inside me
Just hearing your name- I melt at the sound.
Without you my dear, I'd be asylum bound.
I'm not really sure how to explain
This madness taking over my brain-
It's driving me a new kind of insane.
Well, I'm not quite sure I can complain
About the thoughts of you that consume my brain-
They're driving me a good kind of insane.
If I believed in love, then in love I would be.
This bitter, cold heart is set ablaze inside me
Just hearing your name- I melt at the sound.
Without you my dear, I'd be asylum bound.
If I believed in love, then in love we would be.
You set this bitter, cold heart ablaze inside me.
I only feel sane when you come around-
Without you my dear, I'll be asylum bound.
No, I'm not quite sure how to explain
This strange new feeling with my feeble brain-
But my dear, you drive me perfectly insane.

Now And Then
My heart still thinks about you – Now and Then --
My arms still want to hold you – Now and Then –
And, even though I know you're gone,
Your mem'ry just keeps hanging on
And I still think about you – Now and Then.
My friends all ask about you – Now and Then.
I tell them I still see you – Now and Then.
Though you have someone to take my place,
When I close my eyes I see your face –
And your mem'ries, they still haunt me – Now and Then.
My heart keeps on rememb'ring
How much I loved you so –
And though I know it's over –
My heart just won't let go.
And, when I think about you – Now and Then.
I always see a love that should have been.
My life will never be the same
'Cause I'm always haunted by your name –
Each time I think about you – Now and Then.
Yes, I still think about you, Now and Then.

Spring is here - scents the air
You've come from somewhere
Moving in next to my home
Your aura blooms bright n' warm
I'm Already thinkin' here's a new friend
I'm Already thinkin' here's a new friend
Nice to meet a looker
Show you all the best spots here
I'll see my world through your eyes
Be free without need for a guise
It feels like I've met my lifetime match
It feels like I've met my lifetime match
We sit under a tree
Your words sing harmoniously
Time flies too quickly
Walking, talking, feeling tipsy
Even from here seems I feel your touch
Even from here seems I feel your touch
Joking, laughing hours spent
Licking ice cream - just content
Folks stare - it doesn't mater
Instant us just add water
You must believe in love at first sight
You must believe in love at first sight
Your image is ingrained in my mind
A daydreaming guy am I
Lost in you and me entwined
I wonder can you read my thoughts
As we lie under the sky
Our hands touch and my face lights up
Then you smile sweeter than syrup
We pick weeds you call them flowers
I am the questions you are the answers
I now know we are meant to be together
It feels like I've met my lifelong match
I am sure I have met my lifelong match
A Re-Write Of "We're Going To Be Friends"Lyrics
By The White Stripes (Jack White)
The Original Song is about a boy and girl still in school.
Jack White's rhyming scheme seems strange on paper
works beautifully when it is sung to its own tune.
This version has been rewritten and adjusted
so it could apply to any new relationship

Happy Birthday To Me
(I Think I Look Great For Ninety Years Old
The Photo Of Me Is Very Recent)
Copyright © Maurice Yvonne | Year Posted 2014
Obsessed with the thought of you
wondering if it's only me or
if you sometimes remember the sweet things you've said
and if you meant them how I took them
or if I'm just obsessed with what's in your head
Obsessed with your very sentences
Every response I take personal
I know it's selfishness
Have you not noticed my eyes?
They hold secrets that only you can unlock
if you'd just take time to fill the thick juices of my pride
It's just boiling with lust, passion, trust and distrust
and other things I obsess over so much
I find myself writing to free myself from this prison I've created
where only you and I reside
I become confused about what I'm really feeling inside and I
try to rid the thoughts that are highly debated as false and I
begin to cry and
think of casting love spells so that the universe can deliver this affair
I know it's unfair
but I don't care
I'm obsessed with what hasn't happened between us
I'm obsessed with your heart and that the fact that
I don't think you've even noticed my selfish innuendos
and secret undertones that blatantly express my lust
Or maybe you have and you calmly remain in resistance of distrust
If you could only read my mind by simply touching my fingertips,
I'm sure I'd catch you out the corner of my eye biting your bottom lip
I'm obsessed with the passion and thoughts I think you have
Obsessing over an experience that I may never have....

Yeah, that's me singing.
She dazzled me right from the start ... Refrain:
had bright brown eyes that sparkled
I opened the window to my heart

Her smile was warm as sunshine,
she had a glowing nature, so divine
I saw bursting sunbeams in my mind
when I first seen her walking in the moonlight
Whoa oh oh, ooh ooh oh oh Sunshine chant:
I saw the girl with the golden smile, Chorus:

When I'm blue and need something to make me smile
I can turn on my forty fives and listen for a while
Jimmy Gilmer sang about a Sugar Shack
Holding hands, walking down that railroad track
Then I let the music take me back.
Take me back to a time when love was new
Take me back to a time when skies were blue
When we could catch that falling star
Make love in the back seat of my car
Music, oh sweet music, take me back
Doo-wop memories touched my soul
Mixed with the early days of rock and roll
I close my eyes and through the haze
I see sunshine and better days
Music take me back to those times again.
There was Bandstand on TV in black and white
Radio on 'til you fell asleep at night
There were dances at the school
And swimming in the community pool
Music take me back, let me remember when.
Did we believe those days would forever last
Were things so much better in the past
I dream of days when a movie
Meant kissing in the balcony
Music take me back, let my heart roam.
It seems like a thousand years ago
We found true love and watched it grow
I know this is where my heart belongs
When I listen to those songs
Music take me back, please take me home.

you opened your eyes but closed your mind
oblivious to dreams I kept inside
you saw the package but not the treasure
all of those late nights we were together
you spent the passion but saved your heart
keeping those two things far, far apart
nothing ever ventured, nothing ever gained
so good at keeping it all self-contained
you pulled the ribbon opening Pandora's box
you twisted the key in a rusty lock
you wound the toy just a little too tight
leaving in haste when you saw the red light
I thought I had it under control
I could play the game and you'd never know
you were much smarter than I thought
you saw the ruse right from the start
gently, you tried to let me down
distancing me with silent sounds
what you couldn't see--failed to understand
I knew your game but couldn't outrun your plan
you pulled the ribbon opening Pandora's box
you twisted the key in a rusty lock
you wound the toy just a little too tight
leaving in haste when you saw the red light
I could see your future and I wasn't a part
you weren't completely honest when we started
I knew there was another, but not the whole connection
how you had already promised your love and affection
so as we go forward with an uneasy truce
bury what's dead between me and you
no tourniquet will completely ever stop my bleed
you'll say you didn't promise to be what I need
you asked me once if the wound was still deep
you can figure that out in this song if you read
what starts with white lies, ends sadly with truth
it ebbs and then flows with each phase of the moon
you pulled the ribbon opening Pandora's box
you twisted the key in a rusty lock
you wound the toy just a little too tight
leaving in haste when you saw the red light

Every time,
I think about you,
pleasant thoughts
come to mind...
You're everything
I ever wanted,
my dreams come true
night after night...
You'll always have
my lovin' baby...
you wiped the
tears from my eyes
So, I'll tell you
right now...
I'll give you
the rest of my life
Oh now my love, my love
you've got the rest of my life
Oh now my love, my love
Give you the rest of my life
You opened the door,
to what love had in store
Just look at all
that we've found
Happiness lies
right here in your eyes
With you I'm
forever bound
The past is gone
and now we look beyond...
The future is ours
to ignite
So I promise you now...
I'll give you
the rest of my life.
Oh now my love, my love
You've got the rest of my life
Oh now my love, my love
Give you the rest of my life
Oh now my love, my love(with you)
I'll spend the rest of my life
Oh now my love, my love
Give you the rest of my life

Come and share my love,
I'll give you all of me
Offer everything I am
Give it graciously
Come and share my love
I want to lose myself
Surrender everything I own
Until I have nothing left
Come and share my love
Let's lay the night away
As I wrap my warmth around you
Until dawn, turns to day
Come and share my love
Like you've been yearning to do
Your every wish is my command
I will submit to you

How far can you fall and get back up
How high can you jump
And keep your feet in the sand
To touch grace and fall from within
Next to you I was out of my skin
I missed you yesterday and you leave tomorrow
A life spent in the shadows of lushly tint
Smoke your waves
Exhale the freshness of your menthol scent
Home is what you call shelters that need no defense
I'll send
You'll say goodbye
I'll send again
You won't reply
If love
Is the appreciation of another's existence
Then goodbye
Is the anticipation of seeing you again
You and I, we'll cruise the shores
Together we'll settle with the wind
The joy of a small hut, a lovers den
You'll send
I'll wonder why
You'll send again
I will not reply

She walks the paths less traveled
collecting wild flowers and fallen butterflies,
She knows that if she just keeps walking
she'll find herself where she once was,
Only she doesn't know which path to follow;
She sits in the seemingly endless field of sunflowers
singing silent songs of a distant tomorrow,
She believes that as the seasons change
she'll find herself closer to Him,
And she pretends not to notice the Sunflowers fade;
She dreams in the perfect forest solitude
gazing up at the Moon staring down,
She wonders, If she sends her wishes to the stars
will she find herself back in his arms?
But she remains there, alone, in the forest;
She runs through the pages in her mind
re-living those special moments they've shared,
She holds tight to the promise he made
she stirs it in with her lemonade,
But as the ice cubes melt
Slowly, He fades.

I feel I'm the only searcher:
A rose dying in the desert.
And all the loneliness she felt.
The piercing pains, oh how they hurt.
I can't turn the clock back, can I?
Wish to be where we were before.
Euphoric bliss of love we built,
Until I lost my head once more.
It was not long ere I discerned,
What a fool I really was
Yet what excuse could I invent?
She knew quite well I was the cause.
She roamed the crowded streets alone
Refusing all the calls I made
Preferred to die in loneliness,
Perhaps it was right that I paid.
I had no real intention
Of letting her go without me,
On my knees, I begged a pardon.
I loved her, she had to agree.
I can't turn the clock back, can I?
Wish to be where we were before.
Euphoric bliss of love we built,
Until I lost my head once more.

(Chorus): Never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend
Sit on the phone and talk for hours about anything
He knew everything about me
He was there through my ups and downs
But I found out he fooled around
I'd never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend
(Verse 1): Its sad how things change
Seems like I want to put things back in reverse
Now that I see I feel my love life is a curse
So many times he say he'd stick by my side
There wasn't anything I never had to hide
I never thought I'd find myself in love with you
Now what am I going to do
(Bridge): I go back and look at the relationship
you left me over someone you never met
tell me how did you fall in love over the internet
Why did you do this to me
Boy it cost so much stress
My heart is broken and I'm in so much mess
Never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend
(Chorus): Never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend
Sit on the phone and talk for hours about anything
He knew everything about me
He was there through my ups and downs
But I found out he fooled around
I'd never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend
(Verse 2-Rap): Its crazy how you say its not me, its you so please don't take it the
wrong way
Then, I sit and I wonder how in the world you can say this to me
Now wondering, asking myself how can I make you stay
When you was leaving me for this other chick
Now you don't even want to pick up the phone
Boy I know you at, I'm here all alone
So you sit there and ignore me baby
I thought I was supposed to be your one and only lady
Now I have to sit here and pretend like nothing ever happened
Tell me how am I supposed to deal with this boo
Im so in love with you
you left me for who?
The answer just hurt me so bad
Now we doing another sad love song
How are you to tell me who was wrong or right
These words I write are quite contrite
But since Im not the jealous type
I'll let it fly
Its sad how you did me baby boy

La dernière valse
From the skies
Clouds fall upon my dreams
I am up high, away from it all
I am far, but my tears still fall
I stand up and shout to Paris ( Pareee)
You left me, you left me here to fend alone
I can not danse, nor can I waltz
I am here, overlooking skylines of desire
Graveyards calling out my name
The clouds in the sky grey and dancing
The tour Eiffel stands up high
The symbol of all that makes me cry
I can not dance, nor can I waltz
Alizee Alizee go go go
Arête, arête my love simply won't flow
Abelard died, and so must I
Lovers of love, wine runs dry
Poets and words, vices and crimes
Lovers of the majestic and the absurd
I was pushed over the ledge
In Versailles they left for me dead
Grandiose mirrors and artistic displays
I can not dance, nor can I waltz
So in the castle I will be slayed
By the demons of lovers
From the past, they do say
She left me here
On the left bank of the seine
So here I shall drown totally insane
Notes: I have on purpose used french spelling for some words in the poem.

The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

We go through each and every day
With family, friends and foes but,
For loves' sweet sake
We all endure
The chaos, tears and woes
And so you think
For loves' sweet sake
To wrestle with the dark?
Well - you will find that you've become
The bait - and food for sharks
The things you'll do
For loves' sweet sake
Can tear your heart apart
And cause distress where none should be
Who now will mend your heart?
Now this you say to your lost love
"How could you hurt me so"?
For loves' sweet sake
I gave up all
But would not let you go
For loves' sweet sake
You'll change your life
And try to start anew
With hope, with love with charity
You'll face what comes to you
So now, my friend, consider this
And all you've sacrificed
For loves' sweet sake
You gave your all
Hey - was it worth the price?
Let's ask the One who gave up all
To enter into Strife
For loves' sweet sake
He endured the Cross
He gave up His own life
He helped us know how much we're loved
He showed us how to be
He did all of this for us -
And more
For Loves' sweet sake you see

Oh, recollection is
such a powerful thing
I think of us together
on this old garden swing
Our love was birthed
when we first danced
You were my music
we were so entranced
That first touch
and we couldn't let go
It wasn't intentional
but we put on a show
Music slowed down
and you held me tight
When you leaned in to kiss me
I didn't fight
Saw it in your blue eyes
mine were thinking it too
A private dance would be nice
Yeah, just me and you
The summer was hot
the temperature high
Inhibitions gave way
we danced in the sky
Then autumn came
and things got cold
We tried so hard
but our love couldn't hold
You packed your bags
but left me memories
The good and the bad
those sweet miseries
Now Spring has arrived
got this letter from you
I'm on my old garden swing
..wondering what I'll do

I have lost the words
I have lost the heart to dream
Every word that comes to mind
Brings me back to times
When You kissed me that very first time
yesterday is my fantasy
You kissed me then so long ago
Now I need you here, wishing so
That you were beside me now
I need you here
I need you now
Here and now the kisses glow
You gave me smiles
You gave me hope
That love could be a dream come true
You took nothing, only gave
Yet you stole my heart, and walked away
I can't live any more, not without you
Your smiles made me dance and sing
And now I cant seem to do a thing
If I confesses the tears that flow
In the middle of these lonely nights
I wonder why
As so much time as passed
I still think of you
I need you here
I need you now
Here and now the kisses glow
Even now
Laying down upon my pillow
The world is all so different
My longing won't go away
Even now
I wonder where you are
I wish
I wish for second chances
I wonder if you ever think
Of that kiss I once planted on your lips
I need you here
I need you now
Here and now the kisses glow
Now is never and long ago
Now has past and lost its glow
If only time could be held so still
Then here and now the kisses would glow

Men say there are no absolute truths...
The Truth
Man can govern himself. He just doesn't have the ability to do this successfully.
The Truth
There is one God. He has a name. He has a son. Their names are different.
The Truth
When you die, you are dead - not ghosts. It is that simple. That's it, for now…
The Truth
Even though humans die, we were never meant to. We were designed for a time
without end.
The Truth
The most circulated book in the history of Man must be more than a "book."
The Truth
Happiness can be attained, even in a completely miserable place.
The Truth
There is no such place as a fiery Hell of torment, except in pagan mythology.
The Truth
There is a Heaven. However, its purpose is not what you think.
The Truth
The meek shall inherit the Earth.
The Truth...
...is not that far from you.

A burst of white light
gamma rays, overbearing
a flash of brilliance
burns through to my soul
everything is like hell
the world starts to melt
in the blink of an eye
just the cold blackness
of night
I don't care if I am not again
what I once was, for at this moment
I am greater now
than ever before
I took the path between
teetering, tight roping walking
right up to my right
divined in my unholy state
I thought I told you
I am your king
still you sit there, hesitating
I know you hate me
what does that mean?
I hate just about everything
still I'm chosen
I did not wish before
now bow down to me
refuse me no more
for I shall always be your demon
until you accept me as your King.
I don't even know you
though you say we used to be
best of friends, you and me
the day you ditched me
I remember now
exactly how it played out
back when we were just tiny things
even back then I still was King
you thought me stupid
just a ruse
I would laugh inside, you see?
not one of you single, mean people
ever even knew me
in a world, mostly seen to me
that is why only I can be your true King
and bring forth a new source
of light everlasting.
As two worlds collide slowly aligned
one wrapped in shadows
one bathed in white
evils swirling in the clouds above
I'll always be the king you love
to hate or despise as in your blood
I thought I told you, I am the one
I am the way, the way out shall be shown
breathe in my spirit as it carries you away
breathe in my faith it shall carry your empty space
and deposit you gently on a cloud just enough
higher than you've ever dreamed of
for I am king now, and your in my hell
your in my imagination, I'll just never tell
you'll feel as though dreaming, you'll feel now
if you try and see
you were always found the most
shared in the light cast upon me
the last bright star in heaven.
Denounce my name, if you may
One year later, still not afraid
A black sheep, a darkened spade
That's just life, I'm not right
I'm in the wrong, follow along
Like a piper, I'll pitch a song
Mesmerized, the weak wills sing
I thought he told you, he's still our king.

You live to love,
When you love to give.
That life you never had
Like forever, had no wealth.
Still had a hand to help.
All I have is
dreams for myself
grand plans for world
and words to rhyme with strength.
The world will change,
it depends on range
of rage or love we raise.
Well thats a phase of world,
where we stay
some for months, some for days
or its a game we play
and score to glee.
All above,
We live to love
and we need to give.

Your sweet nectar
wraps around my senses
like jungle vines
steady drums beating
Your heart near mine
Your strong hands
hold me suspended
by my waist
Just enough pain and strength
against my supple skin
For my taste
The musk of your
sculpted body and the forest
has me going wild
But yet, the tender way you
protect me, reminds me of
Being a child
A safe familiarity
with a strain of animalistic
Your invisible hold over me
leaves me arrow poisoned
Unable to function
My long dark hair wraps you
with smells of coconut and ocean Sun
your locks full of mud and enemies
together, my warrior
We make One

Tired of talking
'bout weather
Other trivial things
Tired of talking
'bout food
The price of tangerines
You may outlive
This aging man
Before I go
Please understand
Never told you how
I love you
When I held you
In the dark
Never told you how
I love you
I was never
Very smart
I never told you how
I love you
When I kissed your
Baby face
Never told you how
I love you
And I pray it's
Not too late
I would tell you,
"That's what men do…manly men don't say, 'I love you'"
That was my alibi
But what men do should be corrected
What men do can't be accepted
If it makes your woman cry
Tired of talking
'bout scandals
Rumors of the day
Tired of talking
'bout old mistakes
Who deserves the blame?
The Winter of our lives
Is drawing near
Let's change it to Spring
From year to year
Now I'm telling you
I love you
Though the words are coming late
I'm telling you
I love you
And it feels so good to say
I'll love you in the morning
Love you through the night
I will love you through the tears
And all the tragedies of life
I'll stay with you forever
Love you every day
Love you, love you, love you
It feels so good to say
Love you, love you, love you, baby
Feels so good to say…..
I've Scribbled This Song For You...
I'm wasting my days,
my empty nights too,
I should have held on,
but I simply lost you,
now I stagger along,
wearing broken smiles,
in between hell and you,
there's a million miles,
yes, I should have kept,
you close to my skin,
soaking your warmth,
but you were laughing,
at my foolish grin...
now I'm all broken,
and torn apart,
but what the hell,
I was always late,
for the tolling of the bell,
and now...
now I stagger along,
wearing broken smiles,
in between hell and you,
there's a million miles,
so kiss me now like you once did,
I'm tired of being so carefully hid,
la laa laa la laa laa laa...
(repeat to fade)

Might make this into a song. Hope you guys like it.
I want to save your life with this love I bear,
To hold you in my arms and tell you it was always there
All around you, the darkness sways
But inside you the light still stays
I'm sorry my words fail me
I'm sorry I'm so weak
If only you could see me
If only love could speak
I want to take you to the top of the mountain
And let the rain pour down on you
To allow those tears to spurt in fountains
To sooth your core of blue
But you are strong
And words always ring
My heart will pull you along
With every boil and every sting
I'm sorry my words fail me
I'm sorry I'm so weak
If only you could see me
If only love could speak
I want to say that I do love you
But you cannot hear me until the darkness leaves you
So I will wait here with an open hand
Hoping, always hoping to understand
You are strong
Words will always pull you on
And the light inside you from deep within
Tells me love will always win

" Brand: Energizer / Head Torch / Type: Headlamp "
* Prices may differ from that shown
My other half bought two of these from a garage when he saw them on special offer at 2 for £10 which was pretty much half the rrp. We keep one in the car in case there is a break down or we have to stop at night for an emergency toilet stop for my daughter and the other one we have in the house for when we have to go to the end of the garden in winter to empty the bins into the main dustbin, we have also taken these on a camping trip as back up to our main head torches which are far more powerful however as a back up in emergencies these do fine.
The torch comes with 3 AAA batteries and you are supposed to get about 30 hours of illumination, given that ours are on and off all the time in short bursts I have no idea how much burn time we have been getting with them. The range of light is pretty good, I would say that I get about 15 to 20 metres of very good illumination and some light penetrates about another ten to fifteen meters to make it easy to identify shapes and obstacles at a distance. You can switch down to a half power setting which is ideal for when in a tent or other enclosed space or if you are cooking and do not want to blind those around you while camping, this half power is more than enough light to read under as well.
The one thing I did notice about this torch is that the headband is pretty basic and could be more comfortable, for short periods of time it is fine but I would not want to do a long night hike wearing this torch. It is light enough however it also does not look very robust and would not be something I would trust if doing some extreme hiking in the mountains. It is a little fiddly fitting the three batteries into the casing and the insides do not look very robust so care is needed.
It is also important to note that teh casing is not waterproof, then again I guess you get what you pay for and considering the really cheap price you have to accept that a head tortch like this will have its limitations, however for domestic use when you want both hands free and need illumination and for dog walkers it would be ideal.
This review is of the Energizer 3 LED head torch/light.
I bought the Energizer 3 LED headlight for three reasons:-
1. To enable me to walk my two dogs in the darker nights safely and still see where I am going.
2. To use when I am out jogging in the evening.
3. To replace a different make which was chewed by the dogs.
I bought mine in a Wilko shop for just under £10 in last month. It is currently on Amazon for £12-£14 and on Ebay for around £7-£12.
It is important to note however that there are various models of these head torches such as the pro and advanced which are more expensive.
The torch comes in a cardboard packet with the product on display, useful as you can immediately see if the torch part is damaged before you buy and also three AAA batteries.
The LED head torch has twenty lumens, lasts up to 30 hours and gives a seeing distance of 32 metres.
The torch part is attached to a elasticised headband and the torch itself has a full power and half power mode along with a flip down option to angle where the light goes.
HEADBAND - The headband is soft and elasticised, but also has the option of an adjustable clip to tighten if you wish. You can shorten this quite a bit so it would fit a young child's head. Black and grey with the "Energizer" name printed on it. It is comfortable and feels secure against my head /hair and has not slipped down my face even when jogging. Easy to clean with a damp cloth should you need to.
Where the torch part rests against your forehead is a soft sponge backing to the plastic of the actual torch. This too is comfortable much more than I thought and so far has left me with no red indents to my head!
THE TORCH - To start with you have to put the batteries in. Now this I did find a little tricky the bit that rests against your forehead comes off so you can insert the batteries, I found it quite hard to prize apart and snap back down but I guess you don't need to do it that often and at least it is secure. I have to say inside the battery section did look a little cheap, I was expecting it to look sturdy even in there for Energizer branding. The batteries they supply you with are not rechargeable but I see no reason why you could not use them in the torch and I am going to try this when these run out.
The flip bit is easy as pie, just flip! No button or catch it's on a hinge and stays where you want it to as well. I find this most useful when jogging as I angle it to see where my feet are going and it gives me enough light to see it someone is coming too.
Moving on to the lights. At first glance they look a bit like a robots eyes, goggle looking around the main then two big round circles and one smaller in the middle. Above this is the switch, easily glides across to one side for full power and the other side for half power - how simple is that indicated on the top with small dots one bigger than the other. Off in the middle.
Using my torch I tend to use the half power mostly especially when jogging as there is still some street light also.
Full power I save for when I am out with the dogs and we are going across fields or where there are no street lights and both give me plenty of ground coverage to see where I am going and what is coming.
The torch is not waterproof which is a bit of a shame as I would like to be able to use it in wet weather.
The only other thing is that if you have long hair like me you will find it difficult to where with a high pony tail, but it is fine with a low one.
My mum is well known within our family for buying some weird and wonderful presents for us at Christmas and for our birthdays. For my last birthday I received this Energizer head torch from her which she got for me hoping that I would wear it if I was out cycling in the dark, as she still worries about me even though I'm 33 years of age!!
To be fair the torch has been a great gift, and I have used it lots of times now, for all sorts of things, such as working in the loft, looking for the cat at night, working under my car (changing the brakes, oil and filter change etc), and more recently when we had a sudden power cut a few weeks ago, I strapped it my head until the power came back on.
The Energizer head torch basically consists of an adjustable elasticised strap, covered in a comfy fabric which sits around the head. At the front of the strap there is a plastic base plate which is padded to the side which sits against the forehead.
At the front of the base plate is the chunky torch itself, and this torch contains 3 LED's (two white and one red) as opposed to standard bulbs that you tend to find in torches. The LED's are low power, and as such they do not drain the battery anywhere near as much as standard bulbs would. In fact Energizer state that the batteries (3 X AAA which are included in the pack!) will last for 50 hours, which is very good going, and based on that, I would be surprised If I ever get to the stage where my batteries fail. Also the LED's will never need replacing unlike a common torch bulb. The torch is quite bulky and heavy duty, probably somewhat to do with the fact that it has to contain the 3 AAA batteries within the back of the unit.
At the top of the torch unit there is a plastic switch which has the following three different positions:
Full Beam
Reduced Beam
~~~~~ My view on the head torch from Energizer ~~~~~
This torch is a great little gadget, and as I mentioned above it is amazing just how often it gets used. There are so many little fiddly jobs that require a torch, but also 2 hands are needed to complete the job, and this is where the head torch works so well. The whole unit feels well made, and yet it is lightweight, and easy to wear. The strap does fit very well to the head, and it is comfortable enough to wear for a long duration.
Directing the torch beam does take a little bit of practice, as you need to aim your forehead in the direction that you need the beam to aim at, and not just move your eyes around. The best technique that I have found is to pretend that your whole face and head and eyes are the torch, and so you need to point the face, head and eyes directly in the required direction at all times, which might look a little strange, but does tend to do the job. The torch itself also has a swivel head on it which means that you can aim it in the correct direction, and then have your head facing a different way if required.
Another plus to the torch is that it is weatherproof making it ideal for the outdoors especially for something like erecting a tent in the dark on a wet night (or searching for the cat under neighbors cars!).
I do not know how much my mum paid for mine, (I have no doubt that she will have picked it up for a right bargain), but they are currently retailing at Amazon for £10:99 and considering this includes the 3 required energizer batteries that will give 50 hours of light, then this seems to be a great deal.
Thanks for reading.
I received this as a present early last year, and at first I was a little sceptical as to if I would actually use it. When I was doing DIY etc, I was always balancing torches etc in some precarious position to get the light to focus on the right spot. But then I gave this a try, and I've got to say that it is perhaps one of the best gadgets that I have ever had in my toolkit, and for only just over £10.
But what is so fabulous about this torch? Well, it is basically a small battery powered light unit that you wear on your forehead. The unit is then held in position with a stylish elasticised head strap which is basically one size fits all. The unit itself is effectively 2 parts. You have the padded base plate, which is the bit that sits against your forehead, and you have the torch bit which is connected by a swivel, allowing you to point the light exactly where you want it to be.
The light unit itself is quite ingenious in that it uses the lower powered LED lights - 6 in total (4 white and 2 red). The white LEDs can be switched to operate only the inner 2 (for a spot beam), the other 2 (for a flood beam) or all 4 on (for maximum output). On top of these, you also have the 2 red LEDs which are ideal to use in darkness or at night when you want to maintain your night vision.
Now I mentioned the lower powered LEDs. Basically you now see a lot of torches using the LED system rather than a standard bulb. The reason is that an LED draws less power from a battery than a standard bulb, meaning that your batteries will last longer, giving you more use from your torch. By putting combinations of LEDs together you can get the same (or better) light output than from a standard bulb, yet still maintain a lower power consumption overall. The power for this torch is 3 x AAA batteries and the claim is that they should last for about 50 hours with this torch. Now I can't vouch for that personally because I've only had the torch about 14 months, and the original batteries are still going strong, even though it does get regular use.
Additional factors worth noting? The light unit is weatherproof, making ideal to use outside in the rain, for example, changing a wheel on your car or when out camping. It is also very light weight making it comfortable to wear. I know that I have worn it for hour or so durations doing work in the loft and it has never given me any problems. Overall, the build quality is excellent, which you would expect from an Energizer product.
To balance the review, what about the negative points? Well to be honest, I can't really find anything negative about this torch specifically. The only thing that I suppose is worth mentioning is that it can take some practise to get the light from the torch to point exactly where you want it. It's not a fault of the torch, it's just that when you are doing some DIY work, you may tend to find that move your eyes a lot, but only move your head a little, and since the light shines where you point your head (since it is on your forehead), it may not always be shining where you are looking. So you sort of develop a technique to move both your eyes and your head in unison to ensure that the light shines exactly where you are looking. As I said, it's not a fault of the torch, it's just a case of getting use to using a head torch in general.
In summary, this is an excellent torch and a very useful gadget to have, and at only £10, it's not going to break the bank. I now have one in the car for emergencies, as well as in my toolkit for general DIY. So I can easily highly recommend this torch.
Energizer Headlight LED Head Torch
My husband picked up The Energizer headlight LED head torch in B&Q on a bit of a whim, we'd recently moved home from a city centre flat to a house in the country. We were doing a quick stock up on some tools and essentials that we might need now that we had the space and DIY projects that would need attention in the new house. As it turns out this Energizer headlight LED head torch has been one of the most used and useful DIY items that we have owned.
The battery life is pretty good, after about a year of regular use it has finally dimmed enough that the batteries have required changing. According to the manufacturers the torch will last for about 50 hours on 3 x AAA batteries (the first set of which was included with the torch). Realistically, I have no idea to whether ours lasted the full 50 hours, but it did do about a year's worth of faithful service where it was used rather often. Also being as this uses LED lights they should work perfectly and never need replaced during the duration of the head torches life, so one less thing to worry about.
Even after a year's worth of use the head band is still in relatively good shape and is still elastic enough to sit firmly or comfortably when in use. One of the small touches that this head torch has is a soft, padded cushion like area attached to where the head torch will sit against the skin of your head. Whenever I have been using this it always feels comfortable to wear and really the only downside is that the band messes with my hair, but I don't think that is a problem that can be helped. It is also worth mentioning that the headband is fully adjustable and even fits my smaller head securely.
The light itself is built so that it is attached to the headband and support with a swivelling joint. This allows you to angle the light where you want it to go. I have been grateful of this on more than one occasion when a head torch comes in handy, but you don't want to be stuck in one painful position craning your neck to get the light exactly where you want it. The torch can swivel nearly 180 degrees and the joint is quite sturdy so it should stay at the angle you need it to.
Importantly as well as being functional, comfortable and practical to wear this torch also works well as a torch. It has 4 LED lights which can give a wider beam or a more focused light depending upon what you require it to do. The lights are easy to switch on with big buttons that are situated on top, so you never need to take this off when it is in use. Although this is a head torch I have and do use it as a handheld torch on a semi regular basis, especially when I take the dog for a walk at night. It is so light weight and easily wrapped round my wrist that it is ideal when you don't want to drag something heavier along.
The torch also has 2 red LED lights, which are better for using when you want to keep some sort of night vision. I actually bought one of these as a gift for my dad because he is an avid amateur astronomer and he wears this and uses the red lights when he needs to be able to see to adjust the telescope, or to drink his cup of tea without then having to reacustomise his eyes to the dark.
Personally, I think that this torch has worked out to be rather good value for money. I am almost positive that when we bought this it was around the £10 - £15 price range. For our money this has been useful on more than several occasions. Especially, when you are doing DIY jobs that require a torch but you also require the use of both of your hands. As I mentioned we bought ours from B&Q but I have since seen this available in a few different stores (even a well known supermarket) as well as online to buy. If you do fancy getting one of these they are pretty easy to track down.
I don't use this torch anywhere near as much as my husband does, but I still think that it deserves a full five out of five stars. I would also happily recommend this to anyone else as it is a handy little torch to have around the house. We have used it for doing DIY activities, walking the dog but we also leave it where it is easily found in case of a power cut. We also keep a spare one of these in the car, for those 'just in case' moments.
My other half's work occasionally involves some night-time surveying on various outdoor sites during which he has to hold a clip-board, having various forms to fill in, and presumably for this reason, for some time he's been quite keen on getting a head-torch.
Head torches - well, they're small torches attached to thick elastic that you wear round your forehead, much in the style of a John McEnroe circa 1980s head-band. Head torches; I think about the best you can say about them is that at least these days, now that LEDs can provide a relatively lightweight sources of illumination - at least these days, they don't generally need to have that extra front-to-back strap that goes over the crown of your head to keep them in place.
So these Energizer head torches were selling for about £7 on special offer, packeted up on a piece of cardboard with a set of three batteries, at the local Tesco.
"Do you want one?" my partner asked me eagerly, having bought one for himself.
Now, even allowing for the facts that firstly I don't like to be sexist, and secondly, that I've even known the odd female pot-holing enthusiast, I'd seriously doubt that there's a woman alive who's ever actually WANTED (as opposed to occasionally needed to use) a head-torch.
Funnily enough I once was sent out with £40 from the office collection to buy a 30th birthday present for a female co-worker who I liked, but didn't know particularly well.
"What about a head-torch!" my then (male) line manager enthused, in all seriousness. "I bet she'd LOVE one of them!"
I've noticed this phenomenon over and over again. The two above are just a couple of selected examples, of which I have more; because, for some reason, men really seem to like head torches and will come up with all sorts of excuses to get to go shopping for one.
Women - not so much.
So, the illumination from the Energizer head torch comes from a number (three?) of LED sources at the front; it's not obvious how many there are as over two of them are circular 'lens' effect insets that (presumably) magnify the light emitted. Like all LEDs these days, the bright white light produced is, if anything, too intense: you don't want to look directly into the light when it's switched on or you're in danger of frying your retinas. It's advertised as being a one watt head torch, but I don't really know what that translates to in terms of LED illumination as they use les power than conventional torch bulbs. It's easily enough to illuminate the ground around where you're walking, however.
The torch part is about two and a half inches long and maybe an inch and a half high; it's somewhat bulky front-to-back because it takes standard cell-type batteries but is fairly light-weight. The thick grey elastic head-band is easily robust enough to support the weight of the torch when it's worn on the head. The torch part has a soft, dense grey foam backing over the surface where it'll sit against the fore-head; presumably this is also a non-slip surface. It switches on via a sliding button on the top of the torch part. The middle setting is 'off' - to one side you have 'on and bright' and to the other position 'on and slightly dimmer'. I think having the 'off' position to one side would make the torch slightly easier to use, but that's a minor point.
You can pay pretty much anything you want for a head torch if you feel so inclined, as you can get proper 'high spec' bells and whistles ones from the outdoor shops. Given what head torches are, unless you actually NEED a head torch - in connection, say with some kind of sport or outdoor activity that is carried out in the dark (such as pot-holing, in which case you'll probably need a high-spec one that's shock-proof, water-proof, etc.), I would say you're better off buying an inexpensive £7 model like this Energizer one to see how you get on with that.

VILLA are still keeping a close eye on Wigan boss Roberto Martinez after it emerged that his expected move to Liverpool is far from a done deal.
And former Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo could also come into the reckoning to replace the axed Alex McLeish.
Spaniard Martinez is on Villa's shortlist and contact has already been made with his representatives but the owners at Anfield have gone one step further, speaking to the man himself.
Both clubs are keen on his services although neither have made an official offer, despite Latics chairman, Dave Whelan, stating that Liverpool had.
"They've made Roberto an offer and he has agreed to consider it. They're going to talk again on Tuesday," Whelan said after Martinez jetted into Miami to meet Liverpool's owners.
However, it turns out no such offer is yet on the table and other candidates, including Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp, are under consideration.
Martinez is also known to be unhappy with the Reds' plans to appoint a sporting director to work alongside the new boss.
Whelan insisted his current manager would not work under such conditions and could walk away from any offer that did materialise.
The situation is being closely monitored by Villa owner Randy Lerner, who is a big fan of the 38-year-old.
He fits the 'young and hungry' profile that Villa are looking for and he would have full control over all footballing mattersif he came to the Midlands.
Villa are still considering other candidates as their hunt to replace McLeish gathers pace.
Jobless Rafa Benitez and Norwich City boss Paul Lambert are still the bookies favourites but Di Matteo's situation is interesting.
Chelsea are widely thought to be preparing a move for former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, who said this week that he may be ready to return to the game much sooner than anticipated.
Guardiola initially claimed he wanted a year off after quitting the Nou Camp but that now seesm to have changed.
If Stamford Bridge supremo Roman Abramovich tempts the Spaniard to London then Di Matteo could be out despite winning the Champions League and FA Cup.
Should that happen Villa would surely be interested – and Di Matteo still lives in the Midlands following his largely successful spell at The Hawthorns..

Upsie set for debut
WITH all eyes on Sandown this Saturday, it would be easy not to notice a newcomer of Willie Mullins running in the 1.55 at Fairyhouse.
Upsie won her two races in France in the style of a seriously good horse and was champion three-year-old AQPS filly of 2011. Just as Quevega was back in 2007
Upsie won her two races in France in the style of a seriously good horse and was champion three-year-old AQPS filly of 2011. Just as Quevega was back in 2007.
Upsie's first win came at Saint Brieuc in October that year - and the way she achieved it was much the same as Quevega won her Flat races in France. She hung around on the hooves of the leaders until the final bend and then scooted six lengths clear when asked.
On her second and final start, she beat Umbrage two and a half lengths at Saint-Cloud. The runner-up had won her previous three races and has gone on to win three more.
So far so good - and there is better to come. Back in fourth at Saint-Cloud was Un Beau Matin who won his next two races in France and has gone on to earn a rating of 136 since joining Gordon Elliott. He could start favourite for the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle Qualifier at Fairyhouse on Sunday (2.20).
It is very rare for a mare of Upsie's quality to leave France as breeders of the top AQPS fillies and mares like to hang on to them to keep the bloodlines going.
Champion Quevega was the last champion to change hands in November 2007 and Francois and Elizabeth Doumen, who bred Umbrage, typically are not prepared to sell their star filly at any price.
McManus, a long-time friend of the Doumens, would have had to pay an arm and a leg to buy Upsie and has wisely put her with Mullins, whose record with four-time Festival winner Quevega is outstanding.
So, if you back one horse this weekend make sure it is Upsie in the Bobbyjo Restaurant Mares' Maiden Hurdle.
Mullins assures me that her 443-days off the track are not due to anything serious - 'just one or two niggling things, some not of her making' he told me. Get on!
