Ok, this one is pretty good. While "Shady Love" has that dark, seedy underground sound that Scissor Sisters dominate, "Only the Horses" brings that big hit quality that we can directly thank Calvin Harris for. Harris' superb production highlights the big moments in Jake Shears' lyrics, giving "Only the Horses" a decent shot at making it on radio. But who cares about that, right? We have this track, this gorgeous song about running away with your loved one to the point that only animals, beasts, can find you. There's something romantic about being away from it all and the aspect of horses in the track just takes the romance up another notch. Add in this quirky video which is, for the first half, visually "Only the Horses" until we see that the Sister's prison of paint is being busted open by some gorgeous steeds. A western feel is suddenly a geyser of color while the Scissor Sisters sit and look wise. Fun video, amazing track. Can't wait for May 28th when their new album, Magic Hour, gets released!
