What happened to Nature?

Author's Note: This is a piece reviewing the poem and music of Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell

 and Field Below by Regina Spektor.

These poems are about how nature is being taking away by man. Big Yellow Taxi talks about how you don’t know what you got until it's gone. Field Below talks about someone who had it but lost it and is longing to get it back.

I feel that both of these poems are both sad poem. They have the feel of regretful and depressed and longing to get nature back. I didn't really like them, because they were sad and depressing and instead of doing nothing they should get up and do something, make a stand.

Big Yellow Taxi poem was very different from the music, because the poem made you feel sad and depressed and then the music was happy and jumpy song, but then you listen to the lyrics and you are like why is this person happy. Field below, on the other hand, was exactly the same the poem was sad, the music was also sad and slow. Definitely not a song to cheer you up.
