just wanna say that I0LITE is me! it's an old name that I rebranded to during a mini-crisis LOL. if you use this song for anything, please credit me as my current name, Vane!
also hi I updated the mix and a bit of the composition on soundcloud pls listen to that version: / a-crows-trial-2

checks off obligatory crow song from list
(edit: I’m also checking off fire gumi song bc of the final chorus lyrics)
NO but fr this song was so fun to write? I started with the pre-chorus both compositionally and lyrically, and kind of just went ham? The lyrics were inspired by older nonsensical vocaloid songs, particularly stuff like deep sea city underground! i wanted to just have fun writing something that made no sense and i really did have fun!! it's def more experimental than my usual, so i really hope people like it !!
the crow boy is named kieran, and the girl is named nina. while the lyrics are nonsensical, that isn't to say it's impossible to interpret a story from it. i definitely have my version of what happens in the song, but i'd like to hear what you all think ;)
sept 2021 edit: haha there will be lore. :)
I would like to give an OH so sexy shoutout to the people who helped me out this time!! Jelly blew me away with their incredible art! They were able to get the vibes of the song perfect and I'm so so glad I commission them!! GHOST also did an amazing job with the pv editing, and I'm so glad I asked them to do it!! I can't forget Pumpkin Head tho!! He did, once again, an amazing job tuning!! You should really check out his works if you haven't already, because if you like the vibes of this song you will like his music!! He tunes for most of my music and I'm ever so grateful :'D
I think that's all I gotta say!! I hope you enjoy!!
also im trying new title format Just Bc

We love watching birds.
that coming out of your icon is funny to me gn,,
Birds really do be a central antagonist in western vocaloid songs huh
nina isnt exactly a protag herself either
@@vanelily she said no to drugs so that means she's a winner.
Violent Violet Nina said NO to drugs but YES to eating organs babye!!!
I0LITE, well we all eat some kind of organ
@@vanelily don't worry! it isn't bad for your health as long as you share a blood type :)
now all you have to do is gumi fire song and then you are officially a vocaloid producer
this IS technically a gumi fire song, "in a burning town around infernos court" so im in but only as a loophole
Gotta love those technicalities
Glitchy hacker-overused voice:
"Alright, I'm in."
This song went in so many directions, it felt like a movie with a single picture
Three pictures.
i know right?
Thank you V Flower. Very cool.
@@goldenhydreigon4727 dangit you beat me to it
hello, fellow plantloid :)
"little miss, this isn't the deal we had!!" gives me chills every time. i don't know why, but it just feels so powerful - the betrayal and fear in that line is amazing

I might be reading into it a little much, but I have some ideas about those crows sitting on the stoplight. According to some sources, three crows will often preside of a large number of crows and decide the fate of another crow. Given that, and the repeated mentions of trials, I believe those crows represent judges of some kind in the afterlife, and that the crow boy (Kieran) is secretly not a crow or somehow different from the others. He calls himself a raven in the first chorus (around 1:12), while Nina refers to him as a crow.
She also mentions his voice being familiar but not recognizing his appearance, so perhaps he was once a human and usurped a crow's position? The frontal lobe he talks abt eating controls several things, including memory, though I'm not super sure how it ties into my theory but hey, it's there and it maybe relates to, like, losing his memory or forcibly removing who he was to become a crow or something. The mentions of paramnesia (a delusion where one cannot distinguish real and fantasy memories) also makes me think memories have something to do with it. Maybe Nina rats him out to the real crows at the end in exchange for becoming a crow herself (bc she eats the devil's heart? maybe eating organs is like intitation to becoming a crow) Anyway rant over, if you bothered to read all of this, thanks??? i mean idk why you would but i appreciate it!
All I got from this is that crows are metal as fuck
I mean you’re both right
W o a h ,,
Hes trying to get his memory back by eating frontal lobes of others
@@Helloagain987 WHERE CAN I GET SOME FRONTAL LOBES? I NEED TO RETURN MINE
this song is rly good but the line "take a shot" at the end sounds so much like "take a shit" and i cant get over it
I hear it now too XD
Take a SHOUIT

Remember kids, smoking is bad for you. If someone offers you a cigarette, just say no and eat the devil's heart instead
Also, not enough acknowledgement for the zombie that gets rejected by the turtles and raccoons and starts crying alone. I feel bad for that guy

@@thatonemoominfan Hahaha I love it
i'm probably wrong, but I've also been listening to it nonstop all day, so heres my interpretation.
nina (the girl) ends up in this place (the afterlife) and kieran (the crow man) is the devil. crow man offers her a contract (the smoke) but she refuses, and he says that she's in a web of lines. she makes a non-contract deal, and he agrees to it? regardless, he offers her a second smoke, and he swears its fine, but she says that thats a lie.
the ravens are demons, and some don't like their work? that might be a bit of a stretch, but the raven who ponders if he enjoys the gore but eats more regardless doesn't like his job as a demon. alternatively, this could be kieran pondering if he actually enjoys making these contracts, but hes stated to be a crow.
eventually nina learns more about whatever the place is, and overthrows the court, taking kieran's place as the devil and "eats his heart" taking his place. i'm not sure what the trials are supposed to represent/be but they're important because the devil tells their victim to "wait for trial".
thats really all i can think of but the song is really really good!
Update: I knew the underworld thing from a tweet before the summary, BUT after the summary was posted I feel like I was not close, but closer than I thought I'd be.
Maybe the trials are representative of people judging others for their beliefs irl?
the glass of port throws me off why would the reference Portuguese wine specifically?
dont smoke kids
this post was made by the bird gang
I support this comment.
But the bird is the one smoking? YOU BETRAYED THEM
I'd rather choke.
Despite past conflicts of our groups, we also agree that smoking is bad.
This post was made by the third eye gang.
if you smoke your start seeing gacha heat and other gross things
After only hearing this song from A Distortions Trial, the crow is a lot more attractive than I thought

"Paramnesia rules this world, so fake a smile!", is such a sick line!
Just want to let you know that I saw this song in an MV for The Magnus Archives and I literally can't stop thinking about it. The composition is so fucking good and I LOVE that kind of electroswing style. Amazing work, I hope you get lots more views!
Spiral vibes all the way through
i heard it in a HLVRAI mv, I listened to it so much because of how damn catchy it is.
ayy i also came from there
Same !!
i came from it too a little more than a year ago now and i'm just now coming back here bc it got stuck in my head out of nowhere :')
So... did the mannequin get their taxi?
Sadly no :(
@@karina_martinez420 oh :(
The turtle ate his best freind and so he entered a deep depression and couldn't afford the ridiculous taxi prices.
@@directorelysium34 that's just sad
@@inugamiwang9704 and that's why an economy matters.
Small theory! So you know that the girl betrays the crow right? What if that's because she knew him when he was alive? At the beginning of the song she said the crows voice sounded familiar to her but she didn't recognize his looks. Perhaps she's giving him a trial because he's not a full fledged Crow, maybe he was human but somehow tricked everyone to being a crow. She only recognizes him the more he guides her. She doesn't appreciate this trickery and plays a trick of her own, making it so that he'll finally get a trial.
So now someone protraying a crow gets betrayed instead of the main protagonist?
It's literally the opposite of Persona 5
monochromatic reality got an amazing glow up huh

Lyrics:
Guests line up to leave their moldy bedrooms,
In a dimly lit moonlit motel.
The turtles are dancing with racoons,
A zombie joins but gets a firm no thank you.
The mannequins calling for a taxi,
With a fee of 20 thousand yen.
A familiar voice cries out to me,
A feathered creature I have never seen.
The crow offers me a smoke,
He says "it'll take you for a joyride".
No sir, I think I'd rather choke,
Oh I'll be fine-
You're in a web of lies.
On a busy street you'll see the cityfolk,
Run at the mercy of the singing crows.
The raven ponders if he enjoys the gore,
While he takes the frontal lobe and eats some more.
Little miss, don't sit, come join the fun,
We've only got 12 hours till the party's done,
Paramnesia rules this world so fake a smile,
Take a shot, some scotch, and wait until your trial.
Crows line up to greet the local mushrooms,
sticking flyers on their spotted head.
The turtles are eating the raccoons,
A zombie sits alone and cries "I hate you".
The mannequins calling for a taxi,
For a crow who knows we have a deal.
A familiar voice cries out to me,
A feathered creature, and he's come to see me.
The crow offers me a smoke,
He says "It'll help you kill the third eye".
My my, do you think this is a joke?
'I swear its fine!'
He's in a web of lies.
The clocks take shots as the dolls relax under the morning sky,
They wonder if time would still proceed if they were to die.
The devils work life, suffice to say, is comedy at best,
He wonders if there will come a time when he can leave the nest.
In a burning town around infernos court,
The crows are laughing with a glass of port.
The woman ponders if she enjoys the gore,
Still, she takes the devil's heart and eats some more.
"Little miss? This isn't the deal we had!"
Oh, did I mess it up? I guess it's just too bad.
Paramnesia rules this world so fake a smile,
Take a shot, some scotch, I'll see you at your trial.

I really love this song and the artwork with it but I *swear* I see Mike Wazoski's silhouette hidden behind that little cluster of people.
yeah
😭😭😭
Yeah Mike Wazoski is the ruler of hell.
NOOOO I CANT UNSEE IT NOW
We now have a more important question…
…what did Mike do to get there?
girl: *outsmarts his deal*
crow: no! this is not how you play the game!
i am obsessed with this song i want to watch a whole movie with this plot
i’m working on a song series based off this song :0 that’s kinda close to a movie right ABAHAH
@@vanelily omg... that's so cool i can't wait!! i also am going to play it on my internet radio show this sunday, i thought you'd like to know :) it's really a great piece
Not quite the same thing, but there's a super cool The Magnus Archives animated music video that's INCREDIBLY well done, using this song. czcams.com/video/p1aRjjbrM_o/video.html
as both a vocaloid fan and a tma fan, this is beautiful
I- uh- *what's tma*

ok but i just noticed- is there a mike wazowski silhouette behind those 3 humanoid figures? what did he do to go to hell?
tax fraud
war crimes
murder
all of the above
dont forget arson
The trial of a murder of crows, by an unkind conspiracy of ravens.
DID SHE JUST ATE HIS HEART
When you first look at the art for it, it all looks great and fine and nothing suspicious. And then. AND THEN you start noticing those tiny little details that make the entire thing so damn unsettling.
For example the Mike Wazowski 😔
@@HamHamIsDeadInside LOL
Mike is a nickname, and nicknames are for friends.
Michael Wazowski is no friend of mine.
This has a whole different vibe than I thought it would have from the tuning streams! It feels like there’s a whole mysterious world behind it! Also rip tom nook
As a fan of To Hell and Back and The Magnus Archives who also has mild intrusive thoughts surrounding smoking, this song plays whenever I enter a room
I can agree (I am also all these things)
This was totally worth all the hype
really appreciate how u turned a song that was meant to be nonsensical into the basis of a legit story
who came here from the magnus archive's video - the distortion's trial? this song just fits it so perfectly..as if it was made for it
I KNEW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
i got here from a HLVRAI vid, "a security guard's trial"
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A DRAWING BASED OFF THE ARTWORK FOR THIS VIDEO AND I JUST NOTICED MIKE WAZOWSKI IN THE BACKGROUND I’M BAWLING
he's an integral part of hell
you go girlboss, outsmart that birdman

Dex can’t cause he just lost his job.
Nah he committed adultery
The divorse papers tho
Ok here's what my tired brain has scrounged together for a story
Basically, this takes place in the afterlife
Not everyone is a human (like, there are zombies, mannequins, crows). If anything, humans are known to be uncommon and weak
This place is very known for not everything being as it seems
There's this human girl trying to make it here, do her best, and this crow guy (im so sorry, i forget their names oof) thinks that's HILAIRIOUS so he does creepy things just to get a reaction out of her
He gets it at first, but then she turns it around and she turns out not to be a human but a demon or something like that, and does even worse things than him and mr crow is Fear
I love this song so much i have no words... . . .
i love this!! the lyrics are especially neat but like...the whole song and pv slap 😳
Is that Mike Wazowski standing behind the people to the left of Dex???
Lexi perhaps
purghaps*
I’ve officially memorized 3 songs with lyrics and sound
The dream granter
A crows trial
And my favorite to sing is perfectly sweet
Came here from the Distortion's Trial animatic along with so many other folks. This is such a bop, and I love the story behind it. Awesome work.
I love that instead of the obviously demonic (at least in nature) guy being the evil one she turns around and scares the crap out of him, absolutely love plot twists with my vocaloid songs
I'm upset that this comment section is lacking in chubby sad rat appreciation.
At least be glad he got a part where it was just him in the video
At 0:52, the video zooms in and in the middle of the image there is a pole with 4 figures behind it. If you look at the silhouette directly behind this pole, to the right of the person, there is a figure that looks just like Mike Wazowski standing behind the other 3 people.
It feels like a tale of the bewitching demon becoming more human, while the human he was supposed to lure became more demon-like
call that a catastrophe crow
Here’s what I think I got from the song so far. Although, you might see this edited a couple of times. As I was writing this, I thought that the party was referring to the raccoons and the turtles. But i think it’s actually referring to the massacre that’s going on outside by the crows. this is definitely a work in progress.
-there is a motel that the protagonist is staying at. The motel is not good. it’s dimly lit, it’s moldy, etc. everybody is trying to leave the motel as fast as possible. The zombie he’s trying to join the dancing from the turtles and raccoons. But they are told no. This really upsets the zombie. The turtles may look like they’re dancing with raccoons, but in reality they’re eating them. The mannequin had a deal with the taxi driver, and they settled that outside with a money payment. The crow goes up to the protagonist also having a deal. They offer a most likely lasted cigarette. The crowd does this multiple times, making outlandish claims about what the cigarette can do. The protagonist is not falling for it.
So the protagonist does know that they have a deal, but hasn’t seen the crow before. But the protagonist has heard the crows voice before. By the end of the song, the crow is scared at the fact that the protagonist is not doing what they said they would do in this deal. But she pretty much goes tough luck, see you at the trial.
This is the first time I've listened all the way through this one and that was such a cool twist we really have to stan that. Loow how she ate that 🧚♂️💅
HARU THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUTLOUD
When you're trying to sleep but birds are being obnoxiously loud outside your window.
This is amazing imo! Really, everything from the lyrics, to the art, to the instrumental and tuning all combine to make a very good song. I’m not really sure what to make of the ‘story’, but whatevs. Thank you all for working together to make this happen, and I’m glad you had fun making this!
Nina used Uno Reverse card...
It's super effective!
Woaaaah this sounds amazing!!!! Like the art is amazing! The tunning! And the composition and music and lyric stufff!! Alll amazingg! definitely feel like this is gonna become one of favs, nice work!!!
dont u just hate it when you reject a smoke from a crow and he tells you you're in a web of lies?
I'm confused is this song about an undercover cop
and undercover cop trying to catch the crowmaffia
i came from a TMA animatic and holy shit this song goes so well with Helen/Michael/The Distortion
I know which one you’re talking about, I watched it yesterday
nina really said 'lmfao im become satan'
petition for this to go on spotify
this song has the vibe of being at a victorian style party and not knowing what the heck is going on
I really love this!! I kinda just discovered your channel from Dream Granter, and I'm wicked excited to listen to more of your work!!! The type of music you make is one of my favorite kinds and I can't wait to check out more stuff!! Thank you for sharing with us 🖤

When I translated the song to show my mother and to her question, "Why you like it?" I replied with, "I can relate to it," she began to worry about my mental health T.T
Absolutely OBSESSED with this song
Watching this after I love you mijo is pain
Out of all the songs from (to hell and back) this is the best one so far.
This is a MASTERPIECE!
this is gen my favorite vocaloid song. just ever
I enjoy this entire entirety
how is this not more well-know?! this song slaps!
So why is Mike Wasowski in the background?
This is so funky I love u iolite ur cool....
This is actually very good, wow!
mmyes dont smoke till 4/20
ok time to go crackhead conspiracy mode
my personal belief is that all the separate items and animals in the song (the clocks, raccoons, zombie etc.) all represent different organizations or gang members, with the entire town/city being infested with different types.
the crow/raven guy is an advocate for his own gang or whatever,, trying to indoctrinate the girl (who is probably new in town) into his. However, the girl eventually sees through this.
instead of just backing away or whatever, she ends up joining and destroying the gang from the inside-out, hence the “little miss this isn’t the deal we had”
probably wrong but heY it’s fun to imagine
stumbled upon it today while on shuffle on spotify SO GLAD I DID
this is still so jammin', love the vibes
This reminded me to brush my teeth thank you
I love this song 😭
This is awesome.
