It was written by Belouis Some, and produced by Pete Schwier, Steve Thompson, Michael Barbiero and Belouis Some.[1] "Jerusalem" reached No. 98 in the UK and remained in the charts for one week.[2] In a 1984 interview with Debut, Belouis Some described the song's lyrics as "really heavy". He stated: ""Jerusalem" is a bit depressing, it's just me trying to be clever, but I'm not trying to get any message across."[3] For its release as a single, the song was remixed by Thompson and Barbiero in May 1986.[1] Critical receptionUpon release, Lola Borg of Smash Hits wrote: "It's smooth 'n' moody, a tinge on the pretentious side and sounds as though he's recruited David Bowie on vocals and Sooty on xylophone. And as for the lyrics - what on earth is he going on about?"[4] Dave Ling of Number One stated: ""Jerusalem" sees a drop in pace after his last couple of re-releases. Unfortunately this strategy blows up in his face as this rather laboured song just forces home how average a vocalist our Nev really is."[5] Roger Morton of Record Mirror commented: "Mr Some has tried for a big pop song here. One of those epic musclebound ballads, awash with splendid synthesised atmospherics. As an idea, it's wonderful. As a record, it plods."[6] In a review of Some People, Voice of Youth Advocates said: "...on tracks such as the elaborate "Jerusalem," he seems to reveal his true affinity, a highly textured art rock".[7] Lisa Clark of Smash Hits described the song as "haunting" and "David Bowie-inspired".[8] David Marx of Debut described the song as "haunting" and "inevitable but fascinating".[3] Track listing
