This is a Cumbrian, (UK) take on "Take this Waltz" by my brother, Tim Hinson and friends Jack King and Jo King.

critical comments would be welcome! Thank you!

Love it!
Well done indeed

Well I suppose it kept you away from worrying sheep for a few hours.

if nothing else...

Haha What a lot of work you must have put into this. I like the part in the bathroom, hilarious!
However, the connection to the actual lyrics is lost to me. But I guess that is the joke of it all - a song about mortality (is it?) and three guys posing at the fine line to ridicule. Enlighten me, if I missed the message.

Are you aware of the Dissemination Act of 1603 which clearly stipulates that anyone seen singing/miming/scratching or performing any other such lewd act whilst sitting upon a privy and endeavouring to dupe the general public into believing that they are actually performing a Canadian chanson, shall be horsewhipped or fined 5 groats (or was it goats?) or both. Forfeiture of the aforementioned privy shall be sanctioned forthwith and leave and access given to the Earl of Cumberlandshire's jobbing-plumber (Spot the connection?) who shall straight away relieve the aforementioned miscreant of the aforementioned privy.
Apart from that, the film is a real treat!!

Great landscape! Great music!

Alas, the afforementioned Act, I was not aware of! I shall prepare the privy for his Dukeship!

One thing... Cumberland not Cumberlandshire.

Thanks all for your feedback, some was filmed on Islay in Scotland too.

Speaking as an old scouser I can say that you must be bloody tough to go swishing around in the externals of the streams and water courses up there. I know they like to wear t-shirts in Newcastle in mid winter, but you three..........

I'm sure it says Cumberlandshire in Wikidpoodia But what would I know. (Rhetorically dodging any flack)

Would have been better if they had hairy chests!

My girlfriend and I are here in New York, watching this and cracking up. We love Cohen, we adore this song, and think your take on it is absolutely hilarious.

Excellent creativity, boys.

I'm a very new member and this is my first post...what a brilliant video! Trust kwills to lust after hairy chests. What are you like sister? How am I going to listen to that glorious song again without seeing you three?

If Kanye West had interrupted the VMAs last week to say that THIS was the best video of the year, he would have been totally righteous.
Awesome.

Haha! well said!

Love your video. Of course, that song and that guy and that performance in the soundtrack are sheer genius! But you guys did a terrific job with your video. I have even watched it twice.
