The Eagles of Death Metal are calling for unity through music.

The band, which found itself in the middle of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris earlier this month and lost merchandise manager Nick Alexander in the fatal shootings at the Bataclan theater, is asking fellow musicians to cover its song, “I Love You All the Time,” and will donate proceeds to the families of the attack’s victims.

Said Eagles of Death Metal's Josh Homme in a statement, "We are calling upon our friends to donate their time, talent and good will in a show of solidarity to help the victims of these atrocious acts in Paris and those affected by terrorism worldwide. We are asking for you to cover our song 'I Love You All the Time.' For every cover sold, we pledge to donate 100 percent of the publishing income to The Sweet Stuff Foundation. We ask that you also donate the money generated from sales of the song to the charity. In the same spirit, we would encourage you to offer one of your songs up to be covered by another artist, and follow suit – donate the publishing monies to charity – the 'Play it Forward Initiative.'"

My Morning Jacket covered the song during their show in New York over the weekend, and now the Deen Ween Group has produced its version of “I Love You All the Time.”

In the days following the attacks, Duran Duran spearheaded a Facebook campaign to boost their version of "Save a Prayer" performed with Eagles of Death Metal a few weeks prior to the Paris tragedy, to No. 1 on the U.K. charts. Duran also vowed to donate all royalties from the sale of the "Save a Prayer" collaboration to charity.

On Monday, Styx announced that their nonprofit organization, Rock to the Rescue, which they founded with REO Speedwagon, has donated $25,000 to Homme’s Sweet Stuff Foundation.
