The song was first released on Hunter's fourth solo album, You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic in 1979.[1] The song is said to be about Hunter's relationship with his father.[2] Barry Manilow cover"Ships" was later recorded by singer Barry Manilow for his sixth studio album, One Voice. His version peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100[3] and number 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[4] Manilow's version also charted at number 78 in Australia and number 28 in Canada. Casey Kasem reported on the American Top 40 broadcast of October 27, 1979, the reason that Manilow selected this song to record. His father had been absent from his life since the age of two. Following a concert 30 years later in 1975, Manilow was changing clothes in his dressing room. An unknown man entered his room, telling him simply, "I'm your father. I enjoyed the concert and would like to see you again." He then left.
