"I'll Sail This Ship Alone" was the third and final single to be taken from The Beautiful South's debut album Welcome to the Beautiful South. The single reached a low #31 in December 1989 compared to the band's first two singles "Song For Whoever" and "You Keep It All In", both of which made the top 10 in the UK singles chart.
The track was remixed for its release as a single. Whereas the album version was a simple piano and strings production, drums were added for the single version.
This song is also heard in the Beach Boys, a popular Japanese serial drama broadcast in 1997. However this song is not included in either of the show's two OST.

Famous quotes containing the words sail and/or ship:
“Undoubtedly if we were to reform this outward life truly and thoroughly, we should find no duty of the inner omitted. It would be employment for our whole nature.... But a moral reform must take place first, and then the necessity of the other will be superseded, and we shall sail and plow by its force alone.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“But Nature is no sentimentalist,does not cosset or pamper us. We must see the world is rough and surly, and will not mind drowning a man or a woman; but swallows your ship like a grain of dust.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
