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

The two songs "Field Below" and "Big Yellow Taxi" have very similar meanings. When reading the lyrics without listening to the song, the mood is sad and depressing. Both of them tell a story of someone or something leaving them. In the song "Field Below", you can immediately tell by the voice of the woman and sad playing instruments that it is going to have a sad meaning. Where as in "Big Yellow Taxi", the man who is singing it has a happy voice and the music is up beat. That is, only until a certain part where he is singing about his father being taken away.
