P.A.S.S.I.O.N. (song)


"P.A.S.S.I.O.N." is the lead single from the eponymous debut album by the dance-rock band Rythm Syndicate. Written, arranged & produced by main vocalist Evan Rogers & guitarist/keyboardist Carl Sturken, the single was a major success on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number two in August 1991 behind Bryan Adams' " I Do It For You". Worldwide, the song reached the top 30 in Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Overview

The track uses a typical pop song structure and arrangement for most of each verse, but utilizes a spelling out of some words to match the cadence of the vocal; as in the end line of the second verse. After the second verse, the chorus is repeated twice and leads into a bridge. This promptly melts into a screaming guitar solo. Nearly twenty seconds later, Rogers institutes a rap vocal, which dissipates into the chorus that repeats until the song fades out.
