Chastising

__​**BIG YELLOW TAXI by the Counting Crows**__ TThey paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them No, no, no, don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parkin' lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT I don't care about spots on my apples, Leave me the birds and the bees - please Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot Why not?

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door swing, And a big yellow taxi took my girl away Now don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Hey now now, don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise to put up a parking lot Why not, they paved paradise They put up a parking lot Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it Why you wanna give it Why you wanna givin it all away Hey, hey, hey Now you wanna give it I should wanna give it Cuz you're givin it all away, no no

I don't wanna give it Cuz you're givin it all givin it all away yeah yeah** Cuz You're givin it all away hey, hey, hey
 * Why you wanna give it**
 * Why you wanna givin it all away

Hey, paved paradise, to put up a parking lot la,la, la, la, la, la, la ,la ,la ,la ,la Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

I chose this song to represent the theme of chastising because through this song, the artist is basically chastising people for taking things in life for granted. He does this by telling people not to take things for grantedand waiting for them to be gone in order to realize what they have. The melody of this song sounds kind of sad and regretful and this helps enhance the chastising theme of the song because this regretful, sad melody is telling people to avoid regret by not taking things for granted While your song slection is good, hardly any words are bolded and you really don't do much with interpretation; it's not enough to tell me, you must PROVE your point with textual support.
