Ride a White Horse (maxi single)
Goldfrapp
iTunes/AAC/256 kbps

"Ride a White Horse" is an electro-pop, disco, glam-rock song by the English recording group, Goldfrapp.  The single was released as the third single from their third studio album, "Supernature" (2005).

"Ride a White Horse" (2006) was released in the US as the third and final single from "Supernature", (international markets saw, "Fly Me Away", as the fourth and final single).  Unlike its predecessors, "Ride a White Horse", did not perform as well on the Billboard Dance Charts, a chart Goldfrapp was known to dominate in the US.  The single peaked at 29 but did manage to peak at number three on the Billboard Hot Dance Singles.

Multiple "edits" of "Ride a White Horse" have been released.  In the US, the "video mix" was used for airwaves, removing multiple verses, while the standard "Single Version" (or "Radio Edit) was used in international markets.  Arrangements from the album to the Video/Single Version are notably different.  The "Single Version" was released on the physical commercial CD-Maxi single in the US.
