U2: “Angel of Harlem”; “If God Will Send His Angels” [on ‘City of Angels’ soundtrack]. Martina McBride: “Concrete Angel”. * * * There’s a whole genre of songs about more sinister and specifically _fallen_ angels, and nephilim (angel-human hybrids). Bruce Haack’s 1970 album [_The Electric Lucifer_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Electric_Lucifer) (about that War in Heaven) featured two ‘angel’-titled songs: (side A, #3) “Cherubic Hymn”, and (side B, #2) “Angel Child”. For another example, see Aurelio Voltaire’s 2000 album [_Almost Human_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_Human_(Voltaire_album)) (intended to convey a “look at life from the perspective of Lucifer”), in which the title track is from Lucifer’s viewpoint, while the song “Feathery Wings” is from that of the Angel of Death. Author Michelle Belanger took the Enochian myth of Watcher Angels (the “sons of God”) who bred with the daughters of men to make with Nox Arcana their 2006 album [_Blood of Angels_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_of_Angels), on which the title track “features a chant consisting of several angelic and demonic names from Christian mythology, as well as names from Jewish mythology and The Book of Enoch: Azazel, Sariel, Koshbiel, and Shamsiel, Ananel, Sethiel, Raziel, and Zaquiel.” Note that a fascination with nephilim (the “blood of angels”) also led to Cassandra Clare’s [_The Mortal Instruments_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mortal_Instruments) novel series, in turn one [movie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mortal_Instruments:_City_of_Bones) based on the first book, and now the TV series [_Shadowhunters_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowhunters:_The_Mortal_Instruments). A current leading character on CW’s _Supernatural_, “Jack”, is also an archangel/human hybrid. ---
