Here’s the new version:

California Music Presents Add Some Music is the end result of some tireless work from David Beard, editor/publisher of Endless Summer Quarterly, a reputable Beach Boys fan publication.

Said Beard in a statement:

“Gathering together these incredible talents in order to help those in need is as good as it gets, and when it comes to the music of The Beach Boys, it makes sense. We get to listen to music while helping others. It’s ventures like this one that make the future a little brighter.”

A portion of proceeds from the album will benefit Feeding America.

Love and Jardine also shared comments to Rolling Stone:

Love: “It’s a real joy to listen to this new incarnation of the song recorded with so many family members. The hope expressed in the lyrics of the song is that music can bring people together. The world in harmony — something that is desperately needed. It’s a sweet song with an uplifting message.”

Jardine: “It’s been a great pleasure to be involved in this new version of ‘Add Some Music to Your Day,’ something we should always be doing. Having the proceeds go to the charity Feeding America to help feed the hungry is something I truly believe in.”
