Blunt also performed his new song, 'Bonfire Heart,' on The Couch.

'Moon Landing' is the fourth album by Blunt. According to him, it's about dreams, longing, first love.

"There's just something romantic, old-school and lonely about the moon landings,' he explains. "A nostalgic memory of something huge that we can hardly believe we once achieved, and for some sad reason, can't achieve again - like first love."
