It was then re-recorded by Stone and his sister Julia, as the duo Angus & Julia Stone, and released on their 2010 album Down the Way,[1][2][3] as well as their 2010 EP Big Jet Plane.

"Big Jet Plane" was named Australian Recording Industry Association's Single of the Year for 2010 at the ARIA Music Awards of 2010, while Down the Way was named Album of the Year.
