FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Higher Desires Release The Children — A Heartfelt Call for Peace in a Divided World
About the Song
Seattle, Washington
September 2025
The Children is the latest release from indie rock band The Higher Desires, a song written as a message of peace and hope for the next generation. Built on acoustic roots with layered instrumentation, it blends intimacy with intensity, urging us to teach children compassion and understanding rather than conflict.
With socially conscious lyrics and a melodic yet dramatic arrangement, The Children invites listeners to reflect on their role in shaping a future where peace is stronger than war. It’s both a cry from the heart and a reminder that humanity’s legacy is written in the lives of the young.
Artist Statement
"This song is for the next generation. Children deserve to inherit a world where they learn more about peace than about war. It’s our responsibility to guide them in love and unity, not division."
— William Walbaum, songwriter, producer, and front man of The Higher Desires
About The Higher Desires
The Higher Desires is an indie rock project led by William Walbaum, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist who writes, produces, and performs nearly every part of the music — including drums, bass, guitar, vocals, and production. Over the years, he has honed his craft not only as a musician but also as a producer and engineer, learning to record, mix, and master songs to bring each track to life.
Inspired by real-world struggles and guided by a vision of unity, The Higher Desires’ songs currently released span themes of peace (The Children), honoring veterans (Unknown Soldiers), and generational challenges (Generation Me, I Know Right). With about ten more songs in production, the project continues to grow — exploring themes from love and celebration to the tougher moments in life that remind us to keep our heads high.
