The meanings of the author in both poems "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell and "Field Below" by Regina Spektor, are that you don't no what you've got until it's gone. Both of the authors are talking about how the nature around them was sucked up by the big city that they both live in. The mood of Joni and Regina are anger towards the nature around them that is now gone and the tone is disappointment and anger.
Both of the author's turned their poems into songs and the mood and tone of them are very different between the two. In the song "Big Yellow Taxi", it is fast paced and almost sounds happy. But, like I said before, her intentions of the poem were to express her anger, not happiness. In the song "Field Below", it is very slow paced and it seems like she is really agonizing over what is happening around her. I did not think that the song would be that long and dreary because her poem had a pretty consistent rhyme pattern which usually means it is going to go faster.
