![]() ![]() This single version arranges the choruses in a different order and replaces the scat singing at the end of the original track with actual lyrics. Like the previous two singles U2 had released, “Please” and “Last Night on Earth,” “If God Will Send His Angels” was re-recorded and released in a “single version” that differed substantially from that found on the Pop album. ![]() Release plans continued uninterrupted in Europe. The soundtrack album was due to be released in April, but a leak of several songs on the internet forced the record company to move up the release of the CD in the US. In the US, the single release was held back until the spring of 1998 to coincide with the release of the soundtrack album. Instead of creating a new song for the movie, U2 contributed the single mix of “If God Will Send His Angels” which had been released on single outside of the US in December of 1997. So when it came time to produce an American version of “Wings of Desire” the director chose to approach U2 to contribute to the film’s soundtrack. U2 have contributed songs to many of Wenders films including “Faraway So Close”, “Until the End of the World”, “Beyond the Clouds”, and “Don’t Come Knocking” and it was Wenders who directed “The Million Dollar Hotel”. The film “Wings of Desire” was followed by a sequel titled “Faraway So Close” and that film had a large impact on the song “Stay”, both the video (directed by Wenders) and the song itself, which was used in the movie. The film was a very loose remake of the 1987 film “Wings of Desire” by filmmaker Wim Wenders that had been set in Berlin. “City of Angels” was a 1998 American film by director Brad Siberling starring Nic Cage and Meg Ryan.
