The song is a tribute to Marc Brueland, who was a near friend and ‘soulmate’ of Tuomas Holopainen. Marc was a big fan of Nightwish after he heard their version of ‘Walking In the Air’. He contacted Tuomas, and told his story about his life and cancer. They met at a concert in Canada in 2003, were Tuomas and the band played and dedicated ‘Walking In the Air’ to him. A short time after, Marc died of his cancer.
Tuomas wrote ‘Higher Than Hope’ for his memory, who reflects how it is to lose somebody that stands close to you. The male voice in the middel of the song is Marc himself, recored right before his death, with some of his statements.

I'm just in love with "Red Sun rising. Drown without inhaling. Within, the dark holds hard. Red Sun rising. Curtain falling. Higher than hope my cure lies."
