I remember parts of the video, at the end people were sitting around a bonfire on the beach, other bands and fans and I believe the guys mom? the one face that really sticks out is Brandon Boyd from Incubus. They also used some sort of ghostly effect to make seem as if the guy was there with them all on the beach, like in spirit. Any help would be grately appreciated.

Its angels son by sevendust written by lead singer Lajon Witherspoon, this was originally recorded acoustically and written for and about James Lynn Strait of the band Snot. Strait died in a car wreck in December of 1998 along with his dog. Apparently, he lived a life battling an addiction as mentioned by Sevendust on their DVD Retrospect. The song also appears on the CD Strait Up, which was released in November of 2000 and contains tracks recorded by Jonathan Davis of Korn, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Brandon Boyd of Incubus and many others who were good friends of James Lynn Strait.
