'''''These Days Will Fade''''' is an extended play by American alternative rock / post-hardcore band Moments in Grace. It is the band's second release, following Postcard Audio's eponymous extended play released in 2002, but the first to be released after changing their name to Moments in Grace. The extended play was first released as a free download by American record label Salad Days Records on December 12, 2003.<ref name=":18" /><ref name=":6" /> It was later re-issued digitally and on compact disc by Atlantic Records and Salad Days Records on March 23, 2004. The release includes the song "Stratus", which was later pushed as a single to radio stations in June 2004, and its music video was released to music television channels in August 2004.<ref name=":38" /><ref name=":2" />
The extended play was intended as a teaser for the band's forthcoming full-length album ''Moonlight Survived'', its material having been written at the same time from mid-2002 to mid-2003, while the band was still named Postcard Audio. The band's line-up then included vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist and principal songwriter Jeremy Griffith, guitarist Justin Etheridge, bass guitarist Jake Brown and drummer Brandon Cook.<ref name=":02">{{Cite web |last=Brown |first=Jake |date=July 2002 |title=Postcard Audio General Information |url=http://www.computerclubrecords.com/postcardaudio/generalinfo.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020810232554/http://www.computerclubrecords.com/postcardaudio/generalinfo.htm |archive-date=August 10, 2002 |access-date=June 10, 2022 |website=Computer Club Records}}</ref>'''<ref name=":35" /><ref name=":17" />''' Cook was replaced by Timothy Kirkpatrick in May 2003 and a month later the band was renamed Moments in Grace. The band recorded sixteen songs over the span of three months, split between June–August 2003 and November 2003, with producer Brian McTernan at Salad Days in Beltsville, Maryland; four of which appeared on ''These Days Will Fade'' (with the rest appearing on ''Moonlight Survived'').<ref name=":31" />
