Eddi had this to say about the new single:

"The words for Baby's Boat are from a lullaby I heard in the Robert de Niro film, Awakenings. I've always wanted to use them. They were written around 1898 by a woman called Alice Riley who encouraged young women to learn to dance, sing, act, and to be involved in public affairs.

She died in 1953 in Pasadena, which is now my brother's home. We were inspired after a run in with our little babes now turning into adults and teaching us how to let go. We all started jamming with it in my house, Mark captured it on tape, and I spent time editing it into a song. John came up with this melody from one I improvised.

Upon finishing recording I symbolically chucked a bottle with a message in it off the pier at Clydebank.I whispered a prayer into the bottle before screwing down the lid. I watched it float towards the Clyde estuary and on to Argyll and someplace other...Sail Baby Sail."
