Music video

The music video was one of the rare instances to portray full nudity: the first half showed McLachlan lying in a wooded field, completely naked and covered from head to toe in mud, before walking underneath a waterfall, washing the mud off, and proceeding to sing by it dry and fully clothed in the second half. Interspersed throughout were shots of a young girl running through the woods in slow-motion.
