"Calling All Angels" is a song by the Canadian singer-songwriter Jane Siberry. It was featured on the soundtrack for Wim Wenders 1991 film, Until the End of the World, and in the final scene and on the soundtrack for the film Pay It Forward. It features in season 2 episode 1 of Roswell, in the first season finale of Charmed, in episode 1, season 4 of the television series The Fosters, and in Season 1 of The Chair on Netflix. It also plays over the end credits of the 2021 film The Many Saints of Newark.

Relatedly, in Six Feet Under, in episode 6 of Season 5, one of the main characters (Ruth Fisher) takes part in an improvised, harmonic version of this song, following the death of one of her sister Sarah's closest friends.
