Wikipedia article"'Only the Horses'" is a song by American band Scissor Sisters. The track is the first single from their fourth studio album, 'Magic Hour'. It premiered on April 6, 2012 on BBC Radio 1, and was released to various iTunes Stores as a single on April 13, 2012 in Europe and was released on May 13, 2012 in the United Kingdom. Scissor Sisters worked with producers Boys Noize and Calvin Harris on the track, after having met Harris while working with Kylie Minogue on her eleventh studio album, 'Aphrodite'. Music videoDirected by Lorenzo Fonda and produced by Ross Levine, the music video for "Only the Horses" was released on April 19, 2012, and features a quartet of horses running through the desert in slow motion. Attached to the horses are long hempen ropes, and over the course of the video it becomes clear that the other ends of the ropes are attached to metal plates set in a decorated triangular panel. As the ropes run out of slack, the equestrian imagery is intercut with slow-motion reversed footage of paint cascading over people (the band members, with Jake Shears covered in pink, Del Marquis in yellow, BabyDaddy in green and Ana Matronic in blue, also revealed to be wearing a Scissor Sisters ring). At the end of the video (quite evidently a homage to John Huston's, 'The Misfits'), the taut ropes pull the plates from the panel and fountains of paint shoot out. Critical receptionLewis Corner of Digital Spy blog gave the song a positive review stating:
