Dear Son or Daughter

Editor's Notes A beautiful love letter to someone not yet here, but so loved and hoped for.

US-based indie singer/songwriter Caleb Hearn comes to Wolf in a Suit with the beautifully captivating sonic creation that is "Dear Son or Daughter". With this refreshingly honest and down-to-earth mix of melodies and lyrics, we get to be part of a beautifully personal yet relatable story. It's a soundscape that serves as a letter to a future human being that has not arrived yet, but is very much loved and hoped for. And also it landed home for me, for I hope to someday become a dad and these words that he shares, live in my heart as well and I thank him and the other wonderful songwriters to give life to such beautiful tale.

"Dear Son or Daughter" has a special place in my heart and even inspired me to create a new playlist, one that serves not for the me today, but for the me in the future. I hope you are able to see a bit of yourself within this soundscape, and if you don't that's fine, I still hope you enjoy it for what it is, an amazing must-listen gem. So listen closely and dive into this word, so his yet so wonderfully ours as well. Enjoy!

"This past year, a lot of changes have come my way. Most significantly, I got engaged and we're looking for our first house. At 23, I find myself contemplating the idea of raising a family. It would be great to become a dad, something that I know I would cherish. I took the liberty of writing a song with two amazing songwriters, Katie Cecil and Chris Ganoudis. 'Dear Son or Daughter' is a tribute (love letter) to my future child. It started out as a simple guitar and vocal, and we were all quite content with the initial version. However, Chris added strings and piano to highlight the emotion of the lyrics. This song has a special place in my heart and soul, and I look forward to sharing it with others."
