The Higher Desires newest single, “Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition)”, is an indie rock anthem with a heartfelt purpose. Raw guitar riffs and powerful lyricism combine to pay tribute to veterans and their sacrifices. The band delivers intensity through lines like “They’re the unknown soldiers, all the heroes” and “There are so many names”, while also weaving in slower, reflective moments. Filled with emotion, the track balances hard-hitting rock with solemn remembrance, creating a rare mix that both moves and uplifts listeners. Few songs manage to rock with such power while also honoring service and sacrifice, but The Higher Desires strike that balance perfectly.
The extended version of “Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition)” is especially poignant, featuring a stirring electric guitar rendition of Taps, the traditional piece played at military funerals. Its inclusion transforms the song into a deeply touching tribute to fallen heroes. More than just creating a powerful rock track, The Higher Desires are also giving back 100% of royalties go to charities supporting veterans health and well-being. Their commitment extends beyond music; it’s a mission to honor those who have sacrificed so much. In an era where many songs are quickly forgotten, this one carries lasting weight and meaning.
Behind the music is songwriter William Walbaum, the driving force behind The Higher Desires. As writer, producer, and performer of much of the band’s work, Walbaum ensures authenticity remains at the heart of their sound. “Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition)” reflects the band’s larger mission: not only to craft rock anthems, but to make a real difference in the world. With this release, The Higher Desires show how music can be both passionate expression and meaningful action. Every stream becomes a salute to veterans, blending art with purpose.
