Shirley Bassey

About La Passione

"Disco La Passione" is a 1996 song by Chris Rea. The song was written for the film La Passione, a semi-autobiography by Rea. Shirley Bassey made her feature film debut here, but the film was a disappointment at the box office. A single was issued, produced by Rea and, unusual for Bassey, credited as co-performer. The track also appears on the soundtrack album La Passione. The single sold well in Europe, making the Top 40 of the Dutch and Belgian charts, but just missed being a Top 40 hit on the UK Singles Chart, charting at #41. A video was issued to promote the single, it is taken from the performance made in the film. Shirley Bassey performed the song frequently live in 1996 and 1997, a live recording of the song appears on the 1997 CD The Birthday Concert.

I stand alone 
Without a care 
Open the door 
But no-one's there 

The lonely night 
My only friend 
Love's wrongs are right 
I can't defend 

La Passione 
La Passione 
La Passione 
La Passione 

And now I know 
What I've become 
It haunts me so 
But I'll go on and on 

I know the pain inside 
Is the price you pay to ride 
Into the brightest flame 
Never the same again 

La Passione 
La Passione 
La Passione 
La Passione 

You dare to dream 
Take the chance and go 
Desire has taken hold 
Now the passion haunts you so
