"The band told me that their song 'Hard Times' was inspired by Talking Heads, so I learned it and recorded my version of their great song with a horn section. This was fun!" Byrne's "Hard Times" version was combined with Paramore's rendition of Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" for a joint 12-inch Record Store Day exclusive vinyl release on April 20.
