ESL Sing Along - The Beatles, Help!

Listen to the Song, Don't Read the Lyrics


Don't watch the video, just listen. Try and listen to the words that they are singing. A good idea is to write down the lyrics. There might / will be some words and phrases that you don't understand but that is ok. Try and think what the song is about.





Read the Lyrics while Listening

OK,now listen to the video again while reading the lyrics. Look for the words that you missed the first time.


Specific Meangings

"But now these days are gone" - Things have changed.
"I'm not so self-assured" - I'm not as self-confident as before.
"I've changed my mind" - I've changed my decision, I've changed my plan.
"I'm feeling down" - I'm feeling depressed / low, I have the blues.
"Help me get my feet back on the ground" - Help me get over my depression and back to where I was.
"My independence seems to vanish in the haze" - My independence is slowly going.
"I know that I just need you like I've never done before." - I need you more than ever.


General Meaning

The song is about the singer needing help from someone who is close to him. He is feeling low as he has lost a lot of the self-confidence that he used to have and he has also lost his independence. He needs this person more than ever to make him feel better.


The Fun Part

Now it is time to sing along. Use the video and sing along with the lyrics. Then when you have practised, sing along without the lyrics.

Do you enjoy the song? Any other questions? Just comment below.
