Synopsis

Counting Crows perform "Angels Of The Silences" on a darkened theater stage, with Adam Duritz at the center of an intense full-band performance. The camera moves between close shots of Duritz and the musicians, wider views of the stage, and glimpses of an enthusiastic audience. The shadowy lighting and restless editing match the song's urgent rock arrangement, giving the video the atmosphere of a dramatic concert rather than a narrative short film.

Waiting for you
All my sins...
I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

Every night these silhouettes appear above my head
Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper
