After watching it I’m not too surprised that Paul’s accent is pretty soft. He’s really good at imitating different accents. As can be seen in this video and others:
I get the feeling based on what I’ve seen in other people and also my own experience, that people who are good at imitating other accents don’t have a super strong natural accent and/or they tend to incorporate bits from many different accents. Whichever way it ends up with not pointing to a strong single accent. Could be wrong on this, but that’s what I’ve gathered in my life.

Based on my own experience and others, I have to wonder having a musical ear might lend itself to fluidity of accent/an ear for accents as well.
It’s also important to note that Paul’s mum would also encourage Paul and Mike to speak ‘the Queen’s English’ when they were kids.

Yeah, a lot of the comments pointed that one out.

That definitely applies to me as well. I’ve sung a lot in choir and I’ve had to sing different languages and even learned some basic IPA from that, so the nuances of pronunciation and how to physically construct a sound come up quite a bit.
I think also with music there’s a certain amount of pitch replication that comes into it. I’m very good at remembering the pitches that someone speaks at. Because of audiation, I focus on replicating the pitch from muscle memory rather than worrying about the distortion of hearing my own voice differently.
Not everyone that’s good at music can do accents/imitate individuals. It definitely has some overlapping advantages though.

Well he also said the Beatles were “possibly” the greatest band of all time. So clearly he’s not a reliable source

BeatlebugI've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline I the Blue Ridge Mountains above all of Earth, I had no idea they had a song. Thanks, @Wigwam!
(However, I’m mildly disappointed that that they refer to the Blue Ridge Mountains ‘over in Tennessee’ when everyone knows that there are more Blue Ridges in MY STATE! 
)
On the topic of random Tubing, I’ve been binge-watching Key and Peele vids lately — these are my favourite:
EDIT: After listening to the song on repeat for hours, I realised that he sings ‘over near Tennessee,’ not ‘over in Tennessee’.
