Hungry Eyes - Remastered

Eric Carmen's 'Hungry Eyes' captures the intensity of newfound love and the deep, irresistible allure one person feels for another.

In 'Hungry Eyes', Eric Carmen articulates the magnetic and overwhelming feeling of attraction that can suddenly seize one's emotions when falling in love. The song tells the tale of someone who experiences a profound enchantment, almost like a spell, upon setting eyes on another person. This attraction is portrayed as both a physical and emotional pull, transcending mere surface appeal to suggest a deeper, predestined connection. The lyrics focus on this intense gaze (hungry eyes) that symbolizes a craving not just for the physical presence but for a deeper, soulful link. The song explores themes of desire, fate, and the unexpected nature of love. It suggests that love is not only found but also felt deeply and instinctively, almost beyond control or rationale. Through this, Carmen delivers an evocative exploration of how love strikes and transforms an individual's entire being.
