Bonfire Heart Lyrics

Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die
And I’ve been looking at the stars for a long, long time
I’ve been putting out fires all my life
Everybody wants a flame, but they don’t want to get burnt
And today is our turn

Days like these lead to
Nights like this leads to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my Bonfire Heart
People like us we don’t
need that much just someone that starts
starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

This world is getting colder, strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder, no one looks you in the eye
But I’ve been looking at you for a long, long time
Just trying to break through, trying to make you mine
Everybody wants a flame, they don’t want to get burnt
Well today is our turn

Days like these lead to
Nights like this leads to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us we don’t
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
You like the spark

People like us we don’t
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to
Nights like this leads to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us we don’t
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire heart
Our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to
Nights like this leads to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us we don’t
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire heart

Bonfire Heart

Having been through a number of relationships where the flame eventually burnt out, Blunt sings here of finally meeting a girl whom he believes will keep the fire in his heart alive. "The song is about love, life, fear and hope," said the singer when sending out a link to the song stream to fans that belong to his email list, "and more than anything, you… and me…"

The single was premiered on BBC Radio 2 on July 29, 2013.

Blunt explained the story behind the climax of the music clip. "We shot the video throughout Wyoming and Idaho over two days using real characters," he said, "and the final scene took place in the car park of a bar, where everyone we'd met on the journey would meet up and we planned to film a wrap party. What we didn't know was that in the bar, a wedding was taking place, and when they saw us arrive, the entire wedding piled out and joined us."

"I played them all 'You're Beautiful' in the car park on my guitar with the bride and groom pushed to the front by the 80-strong crowd," Blunt continued. "Then we lit fires and sparklers, put on 'Bonfire Heart,' and the bride and groom had their first dance to it, which we filmed, and which is now the climax of the video. In fact, it stopped being my promo video, and became their wedding video."

Blunt penned the song with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who doubles up as a successful songwriter/producer. His credits include Leona Lewis' transatlantic chart-topper "Bleeding Love" and Beyonce's hit single "Halo." The song was composed in Luxembourg and Amsterdam, recorded in the US and Sydney and mixed in Los Angeles. "So you could say the song has already gone global," said Blunt before the track's release.

Blunt told Billboard magazine that the song has a simple message that anyone can relate to: "That notion of connection," he explained. "So the lyrics are really simple: People like us, we don't need that much. Just someone to light the spark in our bonfire heart.'"

The Moon Landing album takes its name from the themes of love and loss Blunt explores throughout. "The moon landings were a moment of incredible human achievement that for some, we don't seem to be able to repeat," he said. "Like first love."

Blunt told MusicRadar.com about collaborating with Tedder on this tune. "Working with Ryan Tedder on Bonfire Heart allowed me to say, 'Let's make this upbeat, driving song that connects with lots of people,'" he said. "That was the meaning of the song when we wrote it. He has the hyperactivity within his musicianship that I wanted."

The song topped the charts in several countries, including Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

Postcards Lyrics

Sundays sitting on your back porch
And I came up with a couple of cords
And I played for you

You let me keep you entertained
With stories I exaggerate
That you know aren't true

And as you sit there making daisy chains
And I throw in a hand granate
And tell you how it is I really feel for you

I'm sending Postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

We chased the sun til it got away
On a bicycle that your daddy made
But not made for two

Then we sat out on your rocking chair
You with a flower in your hair
That I found for you

But then Monday always comes around
And it's sad 'cause I can't see you now
Wan't you to know you're always in my head

I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then..
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

You know sometimes it's hard to see
You say the world that torture me
But inside I know exactly how I feel
The things that I can't say out loud
I'll find a place to write it down
I hope that they will find you in the end

I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to
know, know, know
All the things I want you to know

Postcards

This unabashed, jaunty declaration of love finds Blunt sending postcards from his heart to his lover. It is one of many songs on Moon Landing that concern matters of the heart and the record's release coincided with Blunt's relationship with Sofia Wellesley, the granddaughter of the current Duke of Wellington and a descendant of the Iron Duke himself. During an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Blunt was asked if the album is about Sofia? "I think I probably tap into lots of different things along the way," he replied. "One song might come from a mixture of different experiences. But, yes, this album is absolutely about my life where I am at the moment, rather than my life in the past."

Blunt originally wrote this ukulele-led song on the piano.
