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.

Dark Side of Mobile

A cinematic western-folk requiem told in twelve parables — from desolation to communion, from dusk to dawn.
Harlan Crowe’s baritone carries the grit of the desert; Sora’s soprano carries its light.
The Spanish classical guitar is the road itself: steady, unbroken, eternal.

you’ll find it once again

“Ghost Signal” dives deep into the heart of disorganised attachment, that painful push and pull between wanting love and fearing it. For people shaped by trauma, closeness feels like safety and danger at the same time. You crave connection, reach out, and the moment it feels real, panic hits. The body remembers what the mind tries to forget: that love once meant hurt.

This song gives voice to that invisible battle, the flicker of warmth and withdrawal, the yearning for touch mixed with the instinct to run. The “ghost signal” is what happens when someone wants to be seen but can’t stay visible for long; when connection feels like fire, both comforting and burning.

It’s not a song about heartbreak, it’s a song about survival wiring. About still wanting to believe in love while your nervous system is screaming don’t trust it. It’s tender, raw, and painfully human.

Gentle celtic acoustic guitar and mandolin open, joined by subtle tin whistle and steady, brushed snare. Warm bass underpins airy textures, while the chorus introduces lively, syncopated rhythms with accordion and low-key gang vocals. A fiddle carries melodic lines in dynamic instrumental breaks.
