Response to the poems "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Field Below"

The mood and tone between the song and just reading it on paper is very different for the song "Big Yellow Taxi". Just reading the words you would think of it as a very sad or depressing song but if you add the music they had for it, it would sound joyful and cheery. It throws people off when they hear it and it's happy when the lyrics are sad. I think they should have made it a more slow and sadder melody than what they had.

For "Field Below" the mood and tone was not the same. Just like "Big Yellow Taxi", it was happy music but sad lyrics. The difference is that this music was even more happy for a reason i cannot think of. The tone and mood should have been made more to match the lyric, not to throw people off and confuse them. This should also have been more slow and sad music than they had.
