Reflections from the Edge: Songs for Stepping Back Away is a cinematic, genre-defying concept album that walks the fragile tightrope between despair and resilience, darkness and light, survival and surrender. Drawing inspiration from torch songs, vintage ballads, disco anthems, jazz standards, and sacred requiems, this is not just an album—it is an emotional lifeline, a sonic companion in the silence between breaths.

Created by Akiva David, a seasoned chaplain with over 15+ years of frontline experience ministering to individuals facing mental illness, addiction, trauma, and suicidal ideation, each song is born from real encounters with the human soul in crisis. These aren’t just stories—they’re echoes of whispered prayers, shattered moments, and the sacred tension between holding on and letting go.

This music is not a replacement for therapy—but encouragement to seek medical intervention when warranted.
It does not diagnose or prescribe, but it fosters empathy, reflection, and emotional outreach. It is designed for those moments when words collapse under the weight of pain—when silence screams and the will to live feels like a distant memory.

This project exists as a gentle plea:
You are not alone. You are not invisible. You are not finished.
There is love waiting in places you haven’t yet reached.
There is divine attention—a whisper from beyond the edge—reminding you that your soul still matters.
Please, don’t expire before discovering why.
