The mood and tone seemed different when I listened to the song "Big Yellow Taxi". The mood of poem the is so sad and depressing while the song was upbeat. The meaning of "Big Yellow Taxi" is that you don't really appreciate little things in life until they're completely gone. The purpose of this poem is to inform readers about what is happening to nature and how the author feels about it. The overall tone of "Big Yellow Taxi" is angry and sad at the people who are destroying nature to build a parking lot.
The meaning and purpose of "Field Below" is not having something in life that you really dream for. It shows what the author really wants and even that she wants to be in a more happy place. The mood of "Field Below" is feeling bad for the author and having the feeling of depression/sadness. The tone is very unsettling and shows that the author is clearly unhappy with her life. The tone/mood of the song is exactly how it is in the poem. It's not one bit different form the poem.
Overall this shows readers that poems and songs can be exactly the same but the tone can be very different. Or even like "Field Below" where you have the same exact everything and just translate it to a song or poem. Furthermore they were both great poems and songs to read and listen to.
