Formed in 2011, the group has received international praise for its dark, brooding, gothic songwriting. Blood and Sun thematically wrestles with personal tribulations and drive intertwined with metaphysical and pagan currents, delivering soaring and haunting melodies extolling the heroism and tragedy of life, its joyous excess and the vertigo of fate.
Although the music has an ancient sound, and nostalgia for the arcane, the band does not align itself with hateful rhetoric or ideologues and is not political in nature. Blood and Sun hopes for a world that is empowering to all of its listeners, where individuals of all backgrounds and identities are treated fairly, with respect, compassion and intrigue for our shared human condition. We strive for a re-sacralization of the world that adds to the mystery and awe in life. A world of meaning and purpose felt and shared.
In 2013, Tromiczak relocated from his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota to Brooklyn, New York to pursue his MFA, and continues to write and perform as Blood and Sun across the United States, Canada, and Europe with an ever expanding cast of characters and longstanding friends.

Fell
Blood and Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me lock you in my room and keep you
For a while
Could you be the answer to my every prayer?
Could you be the one for who I care?
Come into my arms and let your worries die
Come out from the web of all your tangles lies
Judge me not for what I've done but what I'll do
A million nights have led
To this one that we are spending
And I know it's better here
Than anywhere I've been going
With every morning grew
A void more wide and endless
Come out from the burning fire butterfly
Let me lock you in my room and keep you
For a while
You watch over me and I'll watch over you
And if you go tomorrow choke me till I'm blue
A thousand days have passed
In this house she and I were sharing
And I hate myself for it
But I have stopped caring
The Marilyn sky tonight
Is so black and blue and beautiful
The song "Fell" by Blood and Sun is a melancholic and solemn love song. The lyrics speak of a burning desire for companionship and a deep need for someone to share a deep connection with. The opening lines speak of a desire to keep the object of affection close, as if to cage the butterfly in a room, implying a sense of ownership over the person. The singer then asks if the object of affection could be the answer to their prayers, suggesting a deep need for a companion to share their life with. The lyrics further emphasize the need for trust and honesty, and not being judged for past mistakes, but rather judged for the actions that will be taken in the future.
The singer then reflects on the time spent with their companion, contemplating the void that grew inside them every morning until they found this person. The chorus repeats the desire to keep the person close, to watch over them, and to be watched over in turn. The singer also expresses the fear of losing this person and the desire to be choked until they're blue if the person were to leave them.
The final verse speaks of a thousand days spent in a house shared with someone, most likely the person being addressed in the song. The singer admits to hating themselves for not caring anymore, but the beauty of the night sky makes up for the pain. The line, "The Marilyn sky tonight is so black and blue and beautiful," alludes to Marilyn Monroe, who is famously known for her tragic death by suicide, implying a sense of beauty in a dark and tragic end.
Overall, the song speaks of a deep sense of longing for companionship, the fear of losing that person, and the pain that comes with loving someone deeply.

Come out from the burning fire butterfly
Leave behind the troubles that engulf you like a fire
Let me lock you in my room and keep you
I want to protect you and keep you safe with me
For a while
Even if it is just for a temporary period of time
Could you be the answer to my every prayer?
Are you the solution to all my problems and worries?
Could you be the one for who I care?
Are you the person that I truly love and care about?
Come into my arms and let your worries die
Allow me to comfort you and take away your anxieties
Come out from the web of all your tangles lies
Escape from the confusing and deceptive situations you find yourself in
But be true to me and I'll be true to you
Honesty is important in our relationship and I will reciprocate it
Judge me not for what I've done but what I'll do
Don't criticize me for my past, but look at my future potential
A million nights have led
Countless experiences and events have brought us to this moment
To this one that we are spending
To the time we are sharing together now
And I know it's better here
This is the ideal place to be
Than anywhere I've been going
Better than any other place I've been
With every morning grew
Every day that passed made me realize
A void more wide and endless
The emptiness inside me was growing and seemed to have no end
You watch over me and I'll watch over you
We will protect and care for each other
And if you go tomorrow choke me till I'm blue
If you leave me, it will cause me immense pain
A thousand days have passed
We have spent an extended period of time together
In this house she and I were sharing
This was the place where we lived together and shared our lives
And I hate myself for it
I regret and feel guilty about the way things turned out
But I have stopped caring
I am indifferent now and do not have any emotional attachment
The Marilyn sky tonight
The sky tonight, reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe
Is so black and blue and beautiful
It is a stunning sight despite the darkness and distress it portrays

I won't give a thumbs down, because I appreciate anyone trying to lift the folk soul, but I didn't like it. A for intentions though.
