Indie rock band The Higher Desires have released their latest single, Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition), a powerful anthem honoring veterans through both sound and purpose. The track combines soaring guitars, raw lyricism, and a stirring electric guitar performance of “Taps,” blending rock energy with solemn reflection. Lyrics such as “They’re the unknown soldiers, all the heroes” and “There are so many names” highlight themes of sacrifice, remembrance, and gratitude, while the extended version gives listeners space to process its emotional weight.
More than just a song, the project stands out for its mission. In a bold commitment, 100% of royalties from the track will be donated to charities that support veterans’ health and well-being. By tying their art directly to action, The Higher Desires transform their music into a vehicle for impact. For curators and listeners, the release offers both a compelling rock anthem and an opportunity to amplify a message of honor and peace.

Led by songwriter William Walbaum, The Higher Desires are signed under Def Garage Records and known for blending alternative energy with heartfelt storytelling. Their discography moves fluidly between reflective acoustic ballads and driving rock anthems, always carrying emotional depth. Recent singles like The Children and Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition) showcase the band’s mission-driven side — using music not just for expression, but for remembrance, healing, and change.
Looking ahead, the band plans to balance their heavier themes with lighter tones, releasing upcoming tracks that explore love, joy, and human connection. By weaving together struggle and celebration, The Higher Desires capture the full spectrum of the human experience. With honesty at the core of their songwriting, the band invites audiences to reflect, to remember, and to celebrate life’s enduring spirit.
