"Guns and Horses" is a song by English singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding from her debut studio album, Lights (2010) as its opening track.

[3]The song was used in the sixth episode of the second season of the American television series Drop Dead Diva, "Begin Again", originally aired 18 July 2010.

[4] In a review of Lights, Mark Beaumont of NME wrote that the song "skitters along on bleeps and fizzes, xylophone tinkles and acoustic strumblings.

"[5] David Renshaw from Drowned in Sound cited the song as the album's stand-out track, stating that it "starts with nothing but a finger picked guitar and basic drum beat.

"[6] Digital Spy music reporter Robert Copsey, giving "Guns and Horses" four out of five stars, referred to the track as "[a]nother example of the glorious folktronic pop sound she and producer Starmith established on 'Under The Sheets' and 'Starry Eyed'—and reassuring proof that her romantic suffering wasn't for nothing.
