Bruce Springsteen’s “Hungry Heart” may sound like a bright, radio-friendly hit — but underneath the melody is a deeply human story about longing, connection, and the restless search for meaning. In this episode, we explore the philosophical lessons inside the song: existentialism’s ache for purpose, humanism’s embrace of imperfect relationships, Stoicism’s acceptance of loneliness, and the Zen clarity behind desire itself.

This is more than a music breakdown — it’s a reflection on what it means to want something more from your life.

Because, as the song reminds us, everybody’s got a hungry heart.
