David Byrne Covers Paramore For Record Store Day

After Paramore covered the Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House” earlier this year, David Byrne is returning the favor.

Byrne covered Paramore’s “Hard Times” for a special Record Store Day release.

It’s a natural fit – Paramore says “Hard Times” was originally inspired by the Talking Heads and Byrne’s unique “cadence and tone”.

Paramore’s cover of “Burning Down The House” appears on the upcoming tribute album Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense.
