UPDATE TO BELOW STORY.......
David Byrne has shared his new collaboration with Hayley Williams of Paramore.
It's called "What Is the Reason for It?" and it comes with an animated video that's below.
The track appears on Byrne's new solo album Who Is the Sky?, which comes out on Friday. Byrne held a listening party for the album at Rough Trade Below in New York City Tuesday, and he surprised fans by performing four songs with his new touring band after the playback was over.
They did "What Is the Reason for It?" and "Everybody Laughs" from the new album, plus the Talking Heads classic "Houses in Motion." They performed "What Is the Reason for It?" a second time, which was filmed to air on Jimmy Fallon last night.

David Byrne is releasing a new solo album, Who is the Sky?, on Friday and prepping for a tour that starts September 14th in Providence, Rhode Island, with a stop in Dallas at Music Hall at Fair Park on November 28th and 29th.
Yet he's found time in his schedule to get married later this week.
The Talking Heads frontman revealed he was engaged to financier Mala Gaonkar in a couple of interviews last month, and he posted on his Instagram story that the couple are having the ceremony this week.
Byrne wrote, “I’m getting married this week and made an almost entirely instrumental playlist while our guests eat an amazing and spicy dinner.” He shared a link to the 42 song playlist on Apple Music.
“My sense is that words and lyrics can be distracting – the ear goes to them, especially if it’s a song one knows. So, I opted for buoyant instrumentals that will create a hopeful and joyous atmosphere… and that folks can also ignore at the same time."
This is Byrne's second marriage. He was married to Adelle Lutz from 1987 to 2004.
