The boy's choir Libera recorded a cover of this song on their 2008 album "New Dawn", and it was performed in December 2007 at the annual Kennedy Center Honors Awards, attended by President George W. Bush and a host of celebrities, as a tribute to Brian Wilson, opening with the dedication "Mr Wilson, we were born a long, long way from your California beaches, but the sunlight of your music can be felt everyday on the streets in South London" by Joshua Madine, age 13.

Famous quotes containing the word covers:
“Whatever an author puts between the two covers of his book is public property; whatever of himself he does not put there is his private property, as much as if he had never written a word.”
—Gail Hamilton (1833–1896)
“Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean, which, we are told, covers more than two thirds of the globe, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace, more than of another world, I made a visit to Cape Cod.... But having come so fresh to the sea, I have got but little salted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And so we ask for peace for the gods of our fathers, for the gods of our native land. It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth. Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret.”
—Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (A.D. c. 340–402)
