About 'Disco' 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

La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
