Lyrics vs. Music


Authors Note: We read two poems and we also listened to the music of the poem. This explains how the music can change the mood and tone of the actual lyrics. 


Big Yellow Taxi

The mood of this is Happy it seams. Especially on the refrain. When its not the refrain it seams a little more sad, but mostly happy.  I think the writer is a little crazy, but I actually like that. It adds a kick into the song and makes it interesting.

The tone the author is trying to communicate how we are ruining the world, but she doesn’t want to make a sad song. She's crazy and is really sad and wants to express her feelings towards this subject. She actually sounds pretty happy. She had a lot of emotion when she wrote this song. She has a lot of meaning. She didn’t just write the song to write it.

Field Below 

The mood is definitely sad in this song. It makes the audience sad also. Its a lot different than Big yellow taxi. Big yellow taxi is a lot more happy and cheerful. I don’t mind this song, its got a good melody but it has a depressing tint in it.  I feel when I hear this song.

The tone is also sad. It sounds like she is trying to make herself sound like she's crying in some parts. The Piano also makes it seam like a sad church song. She's gloomy which makes the audience feel gloomy.
