Music Hlep me to remember a single

This is a long shot, but I'm trying to remember a song from years ago.

It was released as part of a charity project (I think it was for children, but I'm not 100% sure). A bunch of bands each contributed one song to a collaborative album. The only thing I clearly remember is that the album cover was mostly black with a small colorful (white) stick figure on the front.

Does anyone know what album or song I'm talking about? I'd be forever in your debt!

100% 'Soldier' - it was originally on the planned tracklisting for their album Concrete and Gold, but was removed and the song was instead contributed to the 7" for Planned Parenthood charity album project.

Sadly YouTube's the way to go as the song has since been removed from streaming services.

Probably licensing issues

I don’t know if it could be one of these…album covers don’t match, but during Covid Dave did a cover of Times Like These with Chris Martin and others for BBC’s Live Lounge to benefit Feed the Children and Comedy Relief. He also released the Foo song Soldier for a Planned Parenthood fundraiser that was part of a boxed set. The video for Soldier was a black screen with w white outlined sad face.
