Lifehouse has managed to drum up a keen balance between pure, guitar-fueled rock and hook-sodden, creatively executed pop – and this song deserves a lengthy stay on the playlists of both formats."

Summary

Passion (music)

In Christian music a Passion is a setting of the Passion of Christ. Liturgically most Passions were intended to be performed as part of church services in the Holy Week.

Passion settings developed from intoned readings of the Gospel texts relating Christ's Passion since Medieval times, to which later polyphonic settings were added. Passion Plays, another tradition that originated in the Middle Ages, could be provided with music such as hymns, contributing to Passion as a genre in music.

While in Catholicism the musical development of Tenebrae services became more pronounced than that of Passion settings, Passion cantatas, and later Passions in oratorio format, most often performed on Good Friday, became a focal point in Holy Week services in Protestantism. Its best known examples, such as Bach's Passion settings, date from the first half of the 18th century.

Later musical settings of the Passion of Christ, such as the Jesus Christ Superstar Rock opera, or Arvo Pärt's Passio refer to these earlier Christian traditions in varying degree.

Passion (manga)

Passion (熱情, Netsujyou) is a Japanese yaoi manga series written by Shinbou Gotoh and illustrated by Shoko Takaku. Originally published by Tokuma Shoten Publishing in Japan, the series is licensed and published in English in North America by Digital Manga Publishing.

The four-book series follows the romantic entanglements between Shima, a male high school teacher, and a male student at his school, Hikaru Umino, as well as Shima's ex-lover, Amamiya, who also teaches at Shima and Hikaru's school. The first two books in the series detail Shima and Hikaru's relationship while Hikaru is still a high school student. In books three and four, Hikaru has graduated to university, and is struggling to juggle university, his part-time jobs, and his still-shaky relationship with Shima.

The first book was translated by Ten Ten, and was notable for being poorly translated, with awkward language and many grammar mistakes. However, books three and four, translated by Sachiko Sato, an experienced translator, showed significant improvements in the translation quality.
