"Guardian Angel" is a 1983 song[1] by Drafi Deutscher under the pen name Masquerade. German and Italian cover versions, named "Jenseits von Eden" and "La valle dell'Eden" respectively, were released by Nino de Angelo in the same year.[2]
The song was originally released by Drafi Deutscher under the pen name Masquerade. It charted in Germany as well as in several other nations and is the second most famous song by Deutscher after "Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht" (engl. Marble, Stone and Iron Breaks). In the UK, the song was released in a version sung by Nino de Angelo who had also recorded German and Italian covers (see below). De Angelo's version reached number 57 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
Music video
Numerous European TV-show appearances of Masquerade were used as separate music videos for the song. The hitmusic television-show was called Eldorado and the video featured two men in white makeup lip syncing to Deutscher's vocals.[4]
Other Appearances
In 2022, the song was featured on the web series Angel Hare, where the titular character, Jonah Whitman, reunites with his guardian angel, Angel Gabby. The song is heard faintly in the background of this video.[5]
