“Angels in Chelsea” describes the positive impact strangers can have on one another. Chelsea refers to an area in New York. Rachel’s optimistic view of humanity and desire to meet strangers are also seen on the song “Lonely Planets,” another track from Wildfire. Each song deals with “sonder”, or the realization that each passerby has as complex and vivid of a life as your own.

When she performed this song on the Wildfire Tour, Rachel would hold hands with an audience member during the bridge.
