This is from 2003, the first time Nightwish played on USA.
When Tuomas called his friend, Marc, from San Diego, Marc was almost dying with cancer.
On the last chorus you can also see Tarja turning to Marc, because she was talking with him before the concert. (Remember that Tarja's mother had also died with Cancer.)
This song was being sung specially for Marc. It was also given to Marc a T-shirt saying "Angels fall first" with Tarja's image on it... it was such an emotional moment for them...
I didn´t know about this before... I found it out today, and it makes me so sad... Even though it was 7 years ago, and I don´t/didn´t even know marc, I´m crying right now... his story touched me... and I´m happy for marc he had the chance to met this wondeful band before he died T.T
I tear up everytime I see this. I feel it's senseless since I didn't know Marc, but I guess the connection of pain that I knew my sister had with her cancers makes me break down.
Please rest Marc and my sister, I hope the tears don't make you sad.
He was really a good man,the story is really sad.He is really brave,he fought with cancer 7 and half years and he got out the wheel chair to hug Tuomas.He said :That's my brother. my god I cry when I watch this over and over again

This was performed in Atlanta, wasn't it?
Marc flew over there to see Nightwish perform that, eventhough he was incredibly ill. He got out of his wheelchair to go on stage and hug Tuomas.
May he and Eric rest in peace.

Poor Marc.
I never knew you, but when I hear your voice on Higher Than Hope, I still want to cry. Cancer is a terrible thing, my dad died from it.
