Thanks for your comment, Foolstroope.

This article from theage.com.au mentions that "From Little Things Big Things Grow" is a remix of the 1988 song of the same name and by the same artists:

" 'AS PRIME Minister of Australia, I am sorry. On behalf of the Government of Australia, I am sorry. On behalf of the Parliament of Australia, I am sorry.'

...when I heard those historic words from Rudd's landmark sorry speech again this week — as part of a re-recording of an anthemic song about Aboriginal land rights due for release on Monday — few things could have convinced me more of the magnitude and significance of the metamorphosis this country is experiencing on a daily basis.

I had the privilege of standing on the lawns outside Old Parliament House in Canberra on February 13 but I will never be able to fully explain the experience of watching — and feeling — a sea of grief collide with a wave of hope.

If anything was going to come close, it was hearing Rudd's "sorry" words in the preface of a version of the Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly song From Little Things Big Things Grow, which I've been listening to on high rotation in the past few days.

When Carmody invited Kelly on a camping trip to his country, the Murri, in Queensland in 1988, it's doubtful either man could have imagined the journey they would embark on together — and individually...

Duelling guitars carried a melody and a message that would resonate long after that night...

What started as a heartfelt campfire singalong ignited a musical spark that refused to go out. And last year, when Kelly collated an album of Carmody songs performed by a who's who of Australian musicians, many of us who'd watched that spark flicker and falter in trying times gave quiet thanks for the songwriting gifts and inspired sensibilities of the Kelly-Carmody campfire connection. We felt a resurgent hope that the power of music could transcend the most challenging circumstances.

Twenty years after those seeds of musical change were sown, a big thing is materialising in a new version of From Little Things — featuring Carmody, Kelly, Missy Higgins and others — with excerpts of Rudd's "sorry" speech and Paul Keating's Redfern speech in 1992.

It's released on Monday courtesy of the Get Up Mob — the online activists who've campaigned to free David Hicks, support asylum seekers and, now, to bridge the 17-year life expectancy gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.

This is a critical and long-overdue campaign. Yet it doesn't seem long ago that the idea of this song forming the soundtrack to what is ultimately a test of the nation's maturity would have been considered fanciful. I feel sure I am not taking a liberty in suggesting that even at its campfire conception, neither of its creators would have dared to imagine this song might one day grow such determined wings. A little thing is growing. We have a chance to sing from the same songbook. And we can dare to be hopeful again."
