Did the Music Enhance the Poem?

"You don't know what you've got till it's gone," This quote from "Big Yellow Taxi" gave me the impression that this song is sad and depressing. I would never have expected that this song would be fast paced. Since I heard this song my mood about this song changed in a big way. 
Unlike "Field Below" were both the lyrics and the music were filled with despair. After hearing "Big Yellow Taxi" I noticed that the lyrics were  still upsetting but was put to a semi-fast paced song so it sounded less sad and more of a love story. I personally wish this song was put to a slow paced song so people could get the true emotions of how bad it hurts when someone you love is leaving or is gone.
