Author's Note: I wrote this response about the mood and tone and difference between the poem and the songs.The songs and poems that I am comparing are Big Yellow Taxi and Field Below.
The author/song writer wanted the tone in Big Yellow Taxi to be sadness or depressed in the lyrics. When you listen to the song it sounds more upbeat and country . When you listen to the song Field Below, it is a lot different then what you think. When you read the lyrics and figure out the tone and mood it is a lot different in the song. When you listen to Field Below, it still seems sad and depressed. When you think about it, the song writers want you to feel sympathetic about the song lyrics, but when they have the singer sing it, it is different. The mood I had when I listened to each of these songs were different. I felt like Field Below was sympathetic, that is how I felt when I read the lyrics also. Then when listening to Big Yellow Taxi, I thought that the mood was also sad and sympathetic, but when listening to the song I thought that it was up beat and different.
