Music videos edit

In the Canadian version of the music video, directed by Mark Jowett and Dermot Shane, McLachlan sings "Vox" while falling water and flowers are superimposed over her. At the end she stands on top of a rock and throws flowers into the water. In the black-and-white American version, directed by Michelle Mahrer, McLachlan sings and plays guitar in a long black dress in a desert.
