Response to the songs

When I read both of the poems "Field Below" and "Big Yellow Taxi" I though that they both had a sad tone and mood to them but when I heard the songs to both of them it was different.  The song "Field Below" had the tone I thought it did, sad and unhappy and I was right the song was sad and lonely.  In "Big Yellow Taxi" the mood and tone was the complete opposite to what I thought it was.  I thought that is was also sad and lonely but in the song it was happy and fun.

I think that in "Big Yellow Taxi" the lyrics are sad and that is why I was so surprised when I heard the song when it was happy.  On the other hand, I was not surprised when I heard "Field Below" and it was sad.  The lyrics were sad so I predicted that the song would be sad to.  In both songs I thought that the tone and mood were sad but it was different between "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Field Below".
