((Author's Note: This is a response to the two songs "Field Below" and "Big yellow Taxi".))
The song "Big Yellow Taxi", is a song about the enviorment and the economy. When you look at the lyrics first and not listen to the song, you may feel a variety of things. Sad, sympathetic, regretful, and the list goes on and on. When I listened to the song, sung by, Joni Mitchell, I was not impressed by her tone to the song's lyrics. If you listen to it, you will be happy. Joni took a sad depressing song and turned it into a happy upbeat song that does not give the listener a clean message to the song. So all-in-all; good song, bad tone.
The second song, "Field Below", sung by Regina Spektor, is also a song about the fight between the enviorment and economy. The lyrics show a sad and depressed mood and when you listen to the song, it gives you exactly that. Her tone really fits the song well; she sounds sad that is what we wanted right? She shares the correct tone and her tone fits the mood. Summery: Good song, great tone.
In conclusion, both songs share a similar message, but one tone is very different from the other. Music helps share feelings and emotion. It can help you be happy when you are sad and open new worlds. Music is powerful and life could not exist.
