"Walking Shade" is the first and only single from Billy Corgan's first solo album, TheFutureEmbrace. According to Corgan,
"(The record) was a little too strait-laced in my eyes. Because of the nature of the electronics and the way I wrote, it lacked a little bit of kick, so I thought it'd just be fun to write a dumb song, so I wrote 'Walking Shade.' I don't mean it offensively when I say it's a dumb song, I think a lot of great songs are dumb songs."
A steampunk video for this song was directed by P.R. Brown. All costumes for the video were designed by Emilie Autumn.

Famous quotes containing the words walking and/or shade:
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,
I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our father’s knee;
And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
