Responce to "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Field Below"

Authors Note: These following paragraphs are responses to questions regarding the mood and tone within both of the poems/ songs "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Field Below", and their message.

·          

     The meanings of the poems are that you should be happy with what you have at the moment because it won’t always be there.

·         The first song seemed happy the way she was singing it, but while reading it, it seems sad. The second song seems so much more depressed and the message is expressed through the tone and slowness of the music. 

      The mood in the first one almost seems as if she’s trying to sound happy, but the lyrics do not. The tone is making me feel happy too. The second song’s mood was depressing and made me feel sympathetic.

·          

      The first song did not relate at all to the poetry. The singer did not do a good job using emotion and taking the lyrics and expressing them through sadness in the music. The second song could relate a ton to the poetry because you can hear in her voice how she sounds sad and depressed. I feel that the singer in the first song did not do a good job using emotion and taking the lyrics and expressing them through sadness in the music. I though the singer in the second song did a much better job with her emotion and relating it to the poetry and message in the poem.
