Lyrics v.s Poem

"Big Yellow Taxi" is wrote to let people know that you don't know what you got until its gone. The tone the author set for this poem/song is that she is depressed, and sad because they took something away from her that meant a lot. They mood is you feel sad but inspired by her because the readers know now to  don’t take things you have for granted. However, the song was very different, the mood seemed happy and the tone was almost cheerful. When I read it as a poem it came off sad but she sings the song happily.  This shows that maybe I shouldn't have took the poem the way I did and maybe I should have looked at it from different points of view also. Although, it almost confuses me because the words seem sad but her tone of voice when she sings it seem really happy. It frustrates me because now I don’t have a clue about what  the mood or tone of this songs is!



"Field Below" is wrote to let the readers know that once something is gone for good you will miss it and wish it never left.  The tone is very regretful, the writer regrets her decision of leaving her hometown for the city. That reflects on the mood of the song and makes the readers/listeners  very sad for the girl in the song. However, unlike the song "Big Yellow Taxi", once I listened to "Field Blow" the mood of the song stays the same, even the way she sings it makes the listeners feel sad for her.
