Similar and Difference between "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Feild Bellow"

The song “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell was about nature being destroyed by humans and technology. Then the song “Field Below” by Regina Spektor was also about nature being destroyed but instead talking about a city being built and having no sunlight.

The tone in both songs when reading the lyrics is sorrow, anger, and sadness and the mood is regretful and anger. When the music was played it was all changed. “Big Yellow taxi” was happy and cheerful like she was happy that the city was built but sad at the same time. People listing would think she was happy not angry or sad. “Field Below” was more of what people think when reading the lyrics which are sadness and regret. I don’t like how the singer of “Big Yellow Taxi” sang the song because she was too happy and the song was to fast when the other song was slow and sad. I would have liked “Big Yellow Taxi” to be more serious. It was as if the song was a joke I could not take that song seriously.
