The songs "Big Yellow Tax" and "Field Below" are very similar. They have the same tone, the same mood, and they both make you think twice about yourself. But, that's only the lyrics. When you add the music to the words, they sound completely different because "Big Yellow Taxi" is so upbeat and happy. "Field Below" is so depressing and makes you want to cry. The only part in "Big Yellow Taxi" that is sad and depressing is the end, the music slows down and so does the voice of the artist. This made that part of the piece actually seem depressing, even though the rest of it is too. In the other song, the whole entire thing is sad, and that gives you the feeling that there is something wrong happening with this person.
