1) Last Days (a.k.a. Graham Richardson's) music explores personal themes of stasis and flux, escape and acceptance, security and upheaval. Drawing his moniker and ethos from the bittersweet emotions that often accompany periods of transition and loss, Last Days contrasts the intimacy of lonely field recordings and elementary instruments (a child's accordion, a single repeated piano note) with cinematic shoegaze swells and complex, interlocking melodies created by the latest in digital technology. The resulting mixes are often melancholy, but ultimately hopeful, acting as musical elegies to the places we can no longer go.
Growing up in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Richardson pursued music sporadically, playing drums for local bands before shifting his focus and detouring south to study graphic design. Completing his degree in 1997, he applied his trade in the mental health field but, after four rewarding, yet creatively stifling, years, decided to pack up his recently acquired PC, mic and guitar, and head north to Scotland. While the mood certainly preceded the move, Edinburgh’s darker, colder climate and close proximity to nature proved influential in developing Last Days signature blend of brooding synths and pastoral neo-folk. Inspired by the likes of Eluvium, Sigur Rós and Jasper TX, Richardson continued writing and revising in relative obscurity until February 2006 when he was discovered in Port-Royal's Myspace friends list by Mike Cadoo (a.k.a. Bitcrush) of the Oakland-based n5MD Records. With nine tracks already in the can, the timing could not have been better, resulting in the release of Last Days full-length debut "Sea" just seven months later.
Noting his penchant for writing soundtracks to lonely, isolated places, Richardson devised a unifying narrative for "Sea", which chronicles the hapless travels of a disillusioned man who, leaving his family behind, sets sail to find a new home. Through a combination of eerie, abstract set pieces, signpost song titles, and bleak cover art by Liam Frankland (another Myspace find), "Sea" captures the anxiety, confusion and yearning of a man lost at sea with only his ill-defined desires to guide him. Released to near-unanimous praise, Sea cemented Last Days reputation as a member to watch within the UK's burgeoning electro-acoustic ambient scene.
Just months after the release of "Sea", Richardson began writing material for its follow-up, a meditation on the inconstancy of "home." Released on n5MD in early 2007, "These Places Are Now Ruins" finds Richardson in far more personal territory, tracing a semi-autobiographical trip through the resonant locales and experiences of his adolescence. Book-ended (save the closing epilogue "Traveling Hearts") by "Stations" part 1 and 2, TPANR’s main body mourns the diminishing comforts afforded by fading memories and the lonely detachment that comes with discovering your "home" is no longer tethered to a tangible place. Opting for a warmer, more “realistic” approach, Richardson cuts back on the aimless synth washes of "Sea", anchoring the majority of these musical snapshots (like the memories they’re exorcising) in the familiar realm of live instrumentation, intimate field recordings, and emotional post-rock builds.
For his third full length, "The Safety of the North" (2009, n5MD), Richardson has fully embraced his cinematic tendencies, expanding his creative palette to include spoken excerpts, a vocal collaboration with Fabiola Sanchez of Familiar Trees, and a "script-based" compositional approach. Drawing on a theme first explored in "Sea"'s "Arrival at Jan Mayen" (in which its sailor is first excited by the prospect of a distant island home, then disappointed by its barren terrain), TSOTN tells the story of Alice, a young girl who leaves the city with her family to settle in the rural north. With a strict script in mind, Richardson divided the album into 15 "scenes", scoring each with a new focus on the emotional states of his characters and the settings they inhabit. Using the same tools he employs on "Sea" (i.e. field recordings, song titles, and album art), along with snippets of dialogue, monologue and new instrumentation, Richardson guides the listener through Alice’s initial departure, hopeful beginnings and eventual tragedy.
With an approach both abstract and melodic, lo-fi and hi-tech, yearning and content, Last Days has consistently yielded music that, despite its largely digital origins, is all-together human.
2) A punk rock band from Voronezh/Russia, formed in 2005. All started when drumer Oleg Mulat meet with Anton Berdnikov (vocal/guitar). Then they meet masterbasser Pat and began to play. But one guitar is not to much and Cid invite his old friend Dmitry Platon who plays the guitar.
Their name propose band guitar/vocal Cid. They combine elements of pop, punk, punk rock, ska, and alternative. Now Last days starts to record a demo. They are young an full of energy and ready to the big show.
3) A hardcore band from Dresden/Germany.

Last Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a haze of confusion
Searching in vain
For some hopeless absolution
You can prostitute your art
Put the syrup in the soundtrack
But I know that you won't do that
Welcome to your world
You can make it what you want to be
Keep an eye on the sky
Don't look to me
There will be days
When you cry in confusion
Searching in vain
For some bitter resolution
You could be devil or saint
Party girl or model of restraint
When you leave no reason why
I watch my heart keep an eye on the sky
When it gets colder
Don't spend half your life
Looking over your shoulder
And asking where does the time go
Welcome to your world
You can make it what you want to be
Keep an eye on the sky
Don't look to me
Welcome to your world
You can make it what you want to be
Keep an eye on the sky
Don't look to me
When you leave no reason why
I watch my heart keep an eye on the sky
When you leave no reason why
I watch my heart keep an eye on the sky
When it gets colder
Don't spend half your life
Looking over your shoulder
And asking where does the time go
The lyrics to Last Days's song "To The Sky" convey a sense of uncertainty and searching for meaning in life. The first verse describes days filled with confusion and a desperate search for absolution, implying a feeling of aimlessness and a longing for answers that may never come.
The line "You can prostitute your art, put the syrup in the soundtrack" suggests a compromise of artistic integrity for commercial success. The lyrics imply that the singer knows the person being addressed will not make that compromise, highlighting their integrity and refusal to conform to societal pressures.
The chorus encourages the listener to create their own world and shape it according to their desires. The phrase "keep an eye on the sky, don't look to me" could be interpreted as a rejection of reliance on others for guidance or validation. It encourages the individual to trust their own instincts and forge their own path.
The second verse continues the theme of confusion and searching, suggesting that there may be days when tears are shed in the pursuit of understanding and resolution. The lyrics mention the possibility of embodying different personalities, such as being a devil, a saint, a party girl, or a model of restraint. This suggests that the individual is grappling with their identity and trying to find their place in the world.
The bridge emphasizes the importance of living in the present and not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. The reference to looking over one's shoulder and asking where time goes suggests a fear of missing out or regretting past decisions. It urges the listener to embrace the present moment and not let worries consume their lives.
Overall, "To The Sky" encourages self-reliance, embracing individuality, and living in the present rather than getting lost in confusion or seeking validation from others. It speaks to the universal struggle of finding meaning and purpose in life while reminding the listener to stay true to themselves and remain open to the possibilities that lie ahead.
Line by Line Meaning
There will be days
There will be moments in life
In a haze of confusion
Filled with a state of uncertainty
Searching in vain
Seeking fruitlessly
For some hopeless absolution
For an impossible sense of forgiveness
You can prostitute your art
You can sell your creativity
Put the syrup in the soundtrack
Add artificial sweetness to the music
But I know that you won't do that
But I understand you won't compromise your integrity
Welcome to your world
Embrace and take control of your own reality
You can make it what you want to be
You have the power to shape it as you desire
Keep an eye on the sky
Stay attentive to the possibilities
Don't look to me
Don't rely on me for guidance
When you cry in confusion
When you weep due to your perplexity
For some bitter resolution
For a harsh and unsatisfying conclusion
You could be devil or saint
You have the capacity for good or evil
Party girl or model of restraint
Either wild and carefree or composed and reserved
When you leave no reason why
When you depart without explanation
I watch my heart keep an eye on the sky
I guard my emotions and remain vigilant for opportunities
When it gets colder
When the atmosphere becomes inhospitable
Don't spend half your life
Don't waste a significant portion of your existence
Looking over your shoulder
Constantly being cautious and suspicious
And asking where does the time go
And questioning the passage of time

@@georgebentonjr3876 : There are two ends that the Bible promises, One is the end of the God's dealing with the Jews. Namely the end of the Jewish system. Daniel 9:24 prophesizes this.
(Hebrews 1:2) Now at the END OF THESE DAYS he has spoken to us by means of a Son,
The other end is the end of this Satan run system. Also called 'end of the world'.
Jesus gave us signs to indicate when this end would come.
Staring at Matthew 24:7 Jesus tells us about World War 1 and other specific signs which will happen following this first sign.
(Matthew 24:8) All these things are a BEGINNING of pangs of distress.
During this rime Jesus will send out his Disciples to do a Noah type warning to this world. These will fulfill:
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth FOR A WITNESSES to all the nations, and THEN THE END WILL COME.
We are now living in the last part of these last days. Soon God will send Jesus to fulfill Daniel 12:1.
The destruction of the world's Governments and the wicked and the saving of God's regathered people. Jesus' True Disciples.
Contrary to what preachers teach, God intervenes to SAVE this earth from destruction.
(Revelation 11:18) But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and TO BRING TO RUIN THOSE RUINING THE EARTH.”
Jesus Christ's rule of this earth would begin and:
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.
The promise of Everlasting life may come to mind (John 3:16).
All this information and more could be gleaned from the JW website. It is JWs that Jesus is using to fulfill Matthew 24:14.
I too get this help understanding where we are in God's time table.

Being "saved" has various meanings. Being "saved in the Kingdom of God", or eternal exaltation, requires a complete, lifetime devotion to Him -- not just a one-time exclamation of belief.
