As part of a collaborative charity effort, the Gift Horse Project and Manimal Vinyl Recordshave enlisted a group of musicians to record school-friendly cover songs for a compilation called Cool for School: For the Benefit of the Lunchbox Fund. Bright Eyes appear on the collection with a school-themed take on the White Stripes' "We're Going to be Friends."

Proceeds from sales of the compilation go toward the Lunchbox Fund, which provides meals in South African high schools. Below, stream the Bright Eyes track.
