Sobre el álbum
Are You Passionate? es el vigésimo cuarto álbum de estudio de Neil Young, el único álbum que presenta a Booker T. & the M.G.'s, y el octavo con Crazy Horse, lanzado el 9 de abril de 2002 como un LP doble y un CD sencillo. Representa la incursión de Young en la música soul, sin sonar como nada que haya lanzado anteriormente. Las excepciones son el rockero "Goin 'Home", grabado con Crazy Horse, y el inquietante "Let's Roll", una respuesta a los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre. El álbum termina con "She's a Healer", una extensa jam.Listado de Canciones

Letra
Wish you told me by and by, That my life would come to this, That I'd have to find a way to let things go, That my friends would turn to foes, And my love would come to blows, Then I would have done some things differently. Differently... I would ask you out every night. Differently... And I would make you feel so good. Differently... And appreciate the things that you bring to me, babe. Differently... Oh yes I would, oh yeah. Yeah, I know you tried and tried, But your signal I just missed, When you said my little girl would soon be gone, Yes I didn't hear you then, And it might be too late now, That's another thing I'd do differently. Differently... Like trying to make you feel loved every day. Differently... And saying little things to let you know how I feel. Differently... Yes I can hear your young voice calling me, babe. Differently... Oh yes I can. When I 'm away I call you up, And you don't seem to miss me as much, But I know our love is still there in your heart, Just differently. Differently... Oh yes, I can hear your young voice calling me, babe. Differently... Oh yes I can. Differently... I'd appreciate the things that you bring to me babe, yes I would. Differently... Oh come on back to me babe, bring your love back to me. Differently... Oh yeah I need your love, I need your love. Differently... Yes I can tell you babe, I need your love. Differently... Today is a brand new day, yes it is. Differently... Got to get your love back, babe, come on now bring it back to me. Differently... Turn it around babe, turn it around and bring it back. Differently... Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, got to get your love back, come on babe. Differently... Yeah I can hear your young voice calling me babe. Differently... Come on back to me, come on back, yeah yeah, turn it around. Differently... Oh yes I can, yes I can. Differently. - Quit (Don't Say You Love Me)

Letra
Are you passionate? Are you livin' like you talk? Are you dreamin' now that you're goin' to the top? Are you negative, In a world that never stops, Turnin' on you? Turnin' on me? Turnin' on you? Are you loving it? Can you ever get enough of it? Is it everything? A love that never stops, Comin' to you? Comin' to me? Comin' to you? Once I was a soldier, I was fighting in the sky, And the gunfire kept comin' back on me. So I dove into the darkness, And I let my missles fly. And they might be the ones, That kept you free. Once I was a prisoner, I was riding in a truck, Cleaned up for public display. I looked at those around me, And when they looked at me, I let them see my soul that day. Are you scared of it? Do you wish that it would stop? Does it bother you when you hear your spirit talk? Well I'm right with you, Yes I'm right with you. It's working on me, It's working on you. It's working on me. - Goin' Home8:49
- When I Hold You In My Arms4:44
Letra
When I hold you in my arms it's a breath of fresh air, when I hold you in my arms I forget what's out there, All those people with their faces walkin' up the street, They don't have to say a thing just look around and you see. New buildings going up, old buildings coming down, New signs going up, old signs coming down, You gotta hold onto something in this life. Well the older generation they got something to say, But they better say it fast or get outta the way. All those gangsters with their crimes they make it look so good, We've been blowing up the planet just like the old neighbourhood. New buildings going up, old buildings coming down, New signs going up, old signs coming down, You gotta hold onto something in this life. If I only had a heart it would beat all night for you, If I only had a heart I would cry the whole day through, When I hold you in my arms it's like a breath of fresh air, when I hold you in my arms I forget what's out there. Old heart's going up, old heart's coming down, My feelings going up, my feelings coming down, You gotta hold onto someone in this life. When I hold you in my arms it's a breath of fresh air. When I hold you in my arms I forget what's out there. - Be With You3:32
Letra
Crossin' the river in a big old boat, With a dollar bill in my hand. Gonna go fishin' in the afternoon, Got a simple plan. Oh yeah, baby. I got to hold on, I got to be strong, I got to live long, And be with you. Lonely nights and lonely days, When I'm not with you. Learned to trust and I learned to give, Found a love that's true. Oh yeah, baby. I got to hold on, I got to be strong, I got to live long, And be with you. Girl it shouldn't be too hard, To live with you. It's really not complicated, Until I get the blues. Come on over and sit right down, Let me take your hand, I got a love gonna fill you up, Take you to the promised land. Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah. I got to hold on, I got to be strong, I got to live long, And be with you. Be with you baby, Be with you baby, I got to be with you babe. Be with you baby, oh alright. Lonely nights, lonely days, When I'm not with you babe. Learned to trust and I learned to give, Found a love that's true, babe. Oh yeah, baby. I got to hold on now, Got to be strong now, To be with you. Be with you baby, Be with you baby. - Two Old Friends6:15
Letra
Preacher went up to the Golden Gate, And met God there, With the glow of love in his flowing hair. I'm dreamin' of a time when love and music, Is everywhere. Can you see that time comin'? No my son that time has gone, There's things to do. The world has changed since I first met you. Back when The Band played Rock of Ages, In their prime, And the old juke joint was rockin'... Oh Lord there's so much hate, In a world where we're from another place. Show me how to be like you. See no evil, hear no evil, Feel no evil in my heart. In my heart, in my aching heart. In my heart, in my heart, In my old black heart. In my heart, in my heart, In my beating heart. Sky had turned a lotta shades of gray, As they walked on, And a gentle rain fell down on them. They found faith in the way things are and, The way things change, And they said goodbye like two old friends. Take me up to the mountains high, Or a building top where the spirits fly. Show me how to be like you. See no evil, feel no evil, Fear no evil in my heart. In my heart, in my aching heart. In my heart, in my heart, In my old black heart. In my heart, in my heart, In my beating heart. Oh Lord there's so much hate, In a world where we're from another place. Show me how to live like you. See no evil, hear no evil, Feel no evil in my heart. In my heart, in my aching heart. In my heart, in my heart, In my old black heart. In my heart, in my heart, In my beating heart. - She's A Healer9:08
