Author's note: I am comparing the song "Big Yellow Taxi" to the poem with the same words/lyrics. I am also comparing and contrasting "Field Below" with the song, and the poem as well. My purpose of writing is to prove that the lyrics and words are the same but when you sing it, the words sound different than when you read it and how different it is.
In the poem, Big Yellow Taxi, the message sent out is to not take anything for granted, also that nobody really knows what they have until it is gone, so you should appreciate everything you have. Field Below has nearly the same message sent out but they are sort of trying to make you feel sorry for them in sympathy.
Big Yellow Taxi: The song sounds happy, with the music but with the poem, it sounds depressing. It just sounds really different. Unless you really listen to the words you kind of get distracted by the music because it sounds happy, and louder. I like the poem better, because you actually realize that it is depressing. The song and the poem are very different and they contrast.
Field below:
Other than the poem, the song is slow, and the singer's voice is soft and you focus more on the depressing tone, and it goes with the poem, more, and there is a little piano solo that makes the song relaxing to listen to. The poem and song are alike in ways being the song you actually feel more emotions unlike the poem which you just read it and don’t really think anything of it, but the song has more emotion.
