“The Horses” by Daryl Braithwaite

"The Horses" was Daryl Braithwaite's grab for someone else's song on his 1990 album Rise: a Rickie Lee Jones and Walter Becker tune that Jones had recorded first, rebuilt here as big, sweeping pop. Released as a single early in 1991, it climbed to number one on the Australian chart that May and has since gone ten times platinum there.

That's Margaret Urlich singing the female part, although other work kept her out of the video, so the model Gillian Mather mimed her lines on screen.
