"Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen

Last updated 📅 2025-04-19

Everybody's got a hungry heart for Bruce Springsteen's infectious 1980 rock hit! The lead single from The River, this track's upbeat tempo and catchy melody brought Springsteen his first Top 10 single, showcasing his knack for blending rock and roll energy with pop sensibilities.

Released as the first single from the acclaimed 1980 double album The River, "Hungry Heart" became a major international success for Bruce Springsteen. Its bright keyboard riff, driving rock beat, and universally relatable (though somewhat dark) lyrics propelled him further into the mainstream spotlight.

This classic 1980 rock track, originally penned with The Ramones in mind, captures an irresistible energy. Springsteen's passionate vocals tell a story of restlessness over the E Street Band's vibrant performance, making "Hungry Heart" an enduring singalong favorite and radio staple.

SONG MEANING: Despite its upbeat tempo, the song tells the story of a man who abandons his family ("Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack / I went out for a ride and I never went back"). The "hungry heart" symbolizes a deep-seated restlessness or dissatisfaction that drives him to leave his commitments behind, seeking something undefined elsewhere.
