I was born in Liverpool 1959 your analysis is spot on in the sixties, our parents encouraged us to lose our accents as they thought we would get a better job....im 61... Still got the vowels and consonants of scouse
Really interesting! You should analyze George Harrison. In his earlier interviews he had a very thick, nasal accent, and it got softer through the years.
Love this. Macca is allowing his natural Scouse accent to come out more these days. He’s always had his moments, be it in song or in speech, but it’s so much clearer now. Many of his newer songs feature a quite strong Scouse accent. When I saw him perform in Liverpool recently, he sounded very Scouse as well.
I love the way you, Tom, are fascinated analysing Paul's accent. I went to Liverpool 7 years ago and only then and there I realised British English has its own local accents and that's gorgeous! I remember the lady who hosted me used to aspire all the /k/ sounds (she used to pronounce "back" sort of "Bach", just like the German composer). I find it all very exciting!
I went to Florida on holiday once and I got talking to a lad from Detroit and he at first couldn’t figure out if I was Irish or German. I understood the Irish but the German always confused me but now you’ve pointed that out I accept get it.
I've been to Liverpool and yes, he has a very mild accent. I noticed that the accent actually seems stronger among younger people than the older - which is odd with regional accents. Usually the younger people have the lighter accent. If you want to hear an almost unintelligible Scouse accent watch videos of interviews that footballer Jamie Carragher. You almost need subtitles to understand him.
@@dandy1dandy198 My parents are the same! They have always discouraged a strong scouse accent and wont abide any slang. The scouse accent certainly has many tiers
I grew up in Liverpool and had a reasonable strong accent. I left when I was 21 but came back all the time. My accent has mellowed out a lot but it comes back when I’m at home or on the phone to my parents! 😂
I read that. John’s aunt Mimi was a bit middle-class and thought George was dead common. God knows what she made of Ringo who came from a really dodgy neighbourhood.
Leslie Khanna To a social climber likeJohn’s aunt Mimi? I’m not knocking anyone’s accent or background. East End of London with an accent that makes Danny Dyer sound posh. Who am I to talk?
Gerard Mann you know I’m just having you on. It’s very hard to offend a scouser. My Mum made Liverpool sound like Heaven. Lord, I miss her. She was loads of fun and always having us laughing. I believe that Liverpudlians are some of the best people in the whole world. Just like Paul’s Dad invited fans to come in for a cup of tea, that sounded exactly like something me Mam would have done. I hope you have a wonderful and Happy New Year,Gerard! Your one of the good ones,too!☺️
Growing up in Liverpool in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, our parent always encouraged us to speak 'proper'. This meant not sounding broad scouse, but the scouse you heard from The Beatles.
I can't believe you've chosen this video! I've been watching it every single day since it was released!!!! I've laughed and screamed with joy and even cried!!! Interesting analysis and fantastic video as usual!! Many thanks! I'd like you to analyse Emma Thompson's accent for instance. She's Scottish, isn't she? And she's an incredible woman, a fantastic actress and I love her! :)
It’s so interesting to see how each Beatle has a unique accent! I think George’s accent is really interesting and a lot thicker than the rest of the band! That would be cool to see in a future video
ahhh I love the Beatles' accents, especially those O's when the Scouse comes out, and the general lilt they have. Paul especially was taught by his mother to talk fairly posh but it still shows sometimes. And people do tend to sing in a kind of watered-down accent, but it's important to note that he pronounces the word 'customer' in the last verse of Penny Lane in a very Scouse way.
I wish we had been shown your videos as an example of accent analysis during our classes at university, it’s so much fun and I just love it! You’re a top-notch teacher indeed!
Paul definitely speaks with a thicker Scouse accent when he's in Liverpool. It's a cool Scouse accent though, not the awful one some people speak with now
@@nicklive66 sorry but we can’t change our accents just like our skin colour. In the 60s Paul and John lived in posher areas down south Liverpool. They grew up in middle class families. While scousers who was living at the same time as them in poorer accents. Had more of a broad stereotypical scouse accent. It’s about areas status and areas of Liverpool not time that changes it.
If I enjoyed it??? Tom, I always enjoy your videos, but this one in particular was the top one. Amazing! I’m a great Beatles fan and I love Paul. I am pretty sure they were the first reason why I’m so in love with the English language (btw, I only started to learn it when I was 18). Every time he comes to Brazil I go to his gig... and he’s coming again soon. 🤩🤩🤩 I have been to Liverpool some times. I have read and seen much about them and you were able to bring something brand new to me. It’s notorious the change in Paul’s accent through the years. When we watch his interviews in the 60’s we notice it was stronger... always lovely though. Anyway, as you said, understandable after so many years of experiences around the world. Congratulations for always being so professional and knowledgeable in your videos. You rock 🤘 ✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Scouse is a very unique and distinctive accent. Made from Irish and Welsh accents. A couple of miles from Liverpool say in Widnes and St.Helens they have a totally different accent. The Scouse accent was initially from Lancashire but has changed from the 1960's to a more rougher scouse accent. Its softer in the South where Paul is from and Stronger in the North of Liverpool. People from Liverpool are also known as Liverpudlians.
Paul made a cute joke at his Liverpool concert Dec. 12, 2018. He said something about being at the Echo "arena" in THE MOST SCOUSE way possible... like a Liverbird. The audience knew he was putting it on thick and laughed. Also, I've heard him say that he was taught by his parents to speak with a less local sound, if you will. John is the same. Listen to a vid on RUclips of John's Aunt Mimi. It's hard to believe she had a long family history in Liverpool. Ta for the vid la! 😉
I have tickets to see Paul in concert this coming May, in Raleigh, NC (not where I live, but couldn't find a closer venue). Never seen him in concert; I'm told I'm in for a treat. One friend who saw him years ago said he did a three-hour show that night, then went back to the hotel where she was staying, sat down at the piano in the lobby, and did another hour there. Very excited!
I just checked the video. One is her in the sixties, where she seems to be putting on a more RP accent. If you watch a later interview, when she is older, the Liverpool accent is there, albeit mild. Not too different from how people speak in Woolton today.
Thank you very much for this explanation. Very interesting, since I love the Beatles and I love everything related to them. Apart from that, it is interesting and important for me as a learner to know the differences among the English accents.
Loved this Yes, I am sure that we all conserve some or most of our childhood accent, no matter how many countries we have lived in or how many foreign accents we have married into.
Thank you! For instance in the film A hard day's night his accent is way more thick than it's now. The guys rotate their "R" and in general sound truly scouse. As for me, as an English learner, I was unable to make out most of their speech :)
OMG! Such an awesome video! I've just shared it with my students! I was also charmed by this interview and was planning to use it at the lessons! You did it for me and did it brilliantly! BTW you've changed the logo! Really cool! Thumbs up!!!
A lot of the Northern English accents share similarities, but one telltale sign of a Liverpudlian accent is the added pronunciation of a hard "g" at the end of words that end in 'ing'. Now tackle the Hull, East Yorkshire accent! Although he's not from Hull, Sean Bean has a Yorkshire accent, although somewhat 'softened' by his acting career.
I was surprised Tom missed that, because there was a great example of it in the She Loves You bit. Paul always pronounces it song-guh. That’s indeed very common all around Northern England, but particularly in Liverpool.
When I ( German ) met my husband who was born in Liverpool, I wondered which language he had spoken. It didn't sound English 😂. He has spoken such a deep Scouse accent. I wished I would have seen and heard your explaining the Scouse accent years ago. Would have helped me to realise that it's English. 😂 You are a great teacher. I enjoy your little videos. Thanks for that
Terrific! When you talked about dropping the "t" in "that" etc I automatically thought of the Cockney accent! In "Lazy Sunday" Steve Marriott (SMALL FACES) sings "Woodnt i- be nice, to ge- on wiff me neighbours".
I'm an a level English language student and I love learning about accents. Thank you for this video it was really interesting. I would like to see a video about Ozzy Osborne / the Birmingham accent.
I was in Liverpool for the first time a couple of years ago and some people I talked to had a really thick scouse accent and in the beginning I had a hard time understanding them, but I found that the trick is to just concentrate on what they're saying and look at them straight in the face, particularly their mouths and the way it moves when they talk
I really love your videos, thank you so much because when I watch your I can improve my listening and now I'm able to understand and communicate with native speakers.
Also Paul still has that strong "G" sound at the end of words...like, "SONG" would sound like "SONGEH", very distinctive, George had that too, and he and Paul lived in same school district and both had very similar accents, though George's was much stronger. John's was much more sublte, however and MIMI made discouraging remarks about George and his thick Scouse... Great video!!
Exciting video Tom. I'm not native brit speaker but I can understand you even when you speak a little fast. Thanks for this lessons. Hope more vids like this.
Sir Paul is such a legend that he surpassed his own nationality, like, you know, i'm brazilian, born in Rio de Janeiro, but he just seems like a m8 i would see at a local bar and star chatting like friends while wee drink some beers, it's crazy!
As a scouser, Paul came from South Liverpool which is why his accent is softer, I’m from North Liverpool so it’s quite strong but I went to south Liverpool for cool which has softened it!
The Beatles themselves called their accent Scouse. It’s been called Scouse for a very long time but it has changed. It’s all cut-off vowels now; the closer you get to the Pier Head, the harder it is to understand what people are saying.
I was looking for one on Ozzy, but it would also be neat to have a video on any or all members of Sabbath. And I'm definitely not just saying that cause Ozzy mumbles so much :P
What an interesting video! I've listened him since I was a baby and I never really notice most of the things you said. Love it!! Greetings from Buenos Aires!
yay! been looking forward to this! scouse is one of the most interesting accents of all british accents. it sounds like some other language,somewhat german(maybe only to me lol).
I’m Dutch, and what fascinates me is how the k- sound in Liverpool is often pronounced as the hard g- sound we have in Dutch. Back becomes bach; it’s a sound very few languages have, and no Western languages other than Dutch, AFAIK.

This accent is absolutely FAB
What is FAB? Fabulous?

Agree with you. Definitely the most peculiar accent of the famous four.
Yeah, he had a strong accent and it was so cool
OOF, he wouldn't hide his accent at all! That was lovely about him. I would love to see him analyze George's accent hehe:-)
And he was very clever in his interview.
Yes, I would LOVE to see that!

Fantastic! Really glad you liked the video Macca Lives
So sexy, too.
Yeah, I feel it coming out more and more, though it does tend to mix with his more American accent as well. So it's somewhat in between both.
American accent?
Linda McCartney's accent was a really interesting mix of American and British influences.
Yeah, she had a real trans-Atlantic accent. I find it almost annoying but kind of hot at the same time.
its a fake accent. She tried to sound British, but its falls flat!
I love Paul Mccartney

I love him 😍

Im in my 40s and a scouser. My parents however always discouraged me from being as common as muck and to prevent any thick sounding accent.
@@dandy1dandy198 as common as muck? But i never knew scousers were so snobbish!

I need subtitles because the man's speech has no periods.

Paul and John (auntie) were middle class. While ringo and George were heavily working class. That’s why.
What are bloody gonna do resurrect him.
Wonderful video... I would love to see the other Beatles being compared, especially John and George.
Paul’s Scouse accent seems to be more apparent when he’s around other Brits, especially other Scousers.

@fooloof I agree. I'm from Merseyside and the awful Steven Gerrard type accent that you hear now sounds nothing like The Beatles.
I've got that accent that some people speak with now..
@@nicklive66 what about Carra's accent?
He’s got the posh scouse accent I think, rather than the ‘rough’ one (which I like!). Similar to the different types of manc accents too

Oh? So people from Crosby have a harsh accent?
Every time he plays Liverpool his Scouse accent doubles or triples. It's almost shocking to hear!
That's just to fit back in again.
Our accents adjust naturally to adapt
More Scouse please ! Thanks for this video :)
I haven't enjoyed a video this much in a long long time! It's so fun and informative at the same time. Thank you!!!

If we scousers talk fast. Nobody has a chance other than other scousers. But by now, we all will understand if you don’t understand at first listen.

Is it me or did John's accent sound a little different than the other three.
John was from a higher social standing so I could see that having an affect on his accent VS the others
and he was also much more nasal than the others, unless I'm imagining it!
Pete Burn and John Lennon had the same Accent
graceh2973 Liverpool accents are more nasal anyway, but yes, John was quite nasal.
