Covers

edit

In 2018 for Children in Need 2018 1486 children sang the song live in unison from 9 towns across the UK as part of the Children in Need Choir.[1] The performance started in the studio and as the children sang it cut between the different locations, in real time, giving each choir around 20–30 seconds on air, before going back to the studio to finish the song. The choirs sang from: Elstree at Elstree Studios a studio just outside of London where the main telethon was held,[2] Southampton at King Edward VI School,[2] St Ives at Tate,[2] Belfast at The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum,[2] Chester at Storyhouse,[2] Lincoln at The New Theatre Royal,[2] Glasgow at BBC Pacific Quay,[2] Cardiff at The Broadcasting House[2] and Wolverhampton at The Grand Theatre[2]

The Fron Male Voice Choir covered the song on their album Voices of the Valley Echoes, released in February 2020.[3]

American singer Christina Aguilera covered the song during her performance at the Expo 2020 closing ceremony on March 31, 2022, in Dubai.[4] Aguilera later performed the song again at the VinFuture Prize award ceremony on December 20, 2022, in Hanoi, Vietnam.[5]
