In January 2023, Adalita, Mick Harvey and Andrew Duffield recorded a cover version as a tribute to the song-writer Ollie Olsen who was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy in 2020.[2] The single performed by Adalita was released on 16 June 2023.[3]
The song's executive producer, Jane Gazzo said "It's just a hauntingly brilliant and beautifully written song and when myself and a few of Ollie's friends heard he was not well, we felt we needed to do something to help. Remarkably all the musicians, including Adalita and Mick Harvey were completely up to donating their time and had belief in the project. I think this is a stunning rework and I really hope the music industry and public get behind it and give it the new lease of life we know it deserves."[2] The EP is scheduled for release on 14 July 2023. The song peaked at number 1 on the Australian Independent Record singles chart.[4]
