Jerusalem
The fifth track on Pass the Distance, a song Finn says came to him in one shot.
Simon Finn, from Pass the Distance (1970)
Simon Finn wrote "Jerusalem", track five on the Antarctica Starts Here edition of Pass the Distance. MusicBrainz lists one work with that title composed by Finn, with two linked recordings. He told the journalist Dave Segal, for the reissue, that Jerusalem came to me in one shot, and that one of his flatmates wrote it down as he played it over and over; Classic Folk's liner-note reading adds that it was recorded in one take.
Setlist.fm shows it once on the first page of results, as song five at La Malterie in Lille on February 22, 2012; his total play count is not established. We found no chart history, video, covers or samples. Our upload is titled just "Jerusalem" and is very probably the album track, but we could not confirm it.
