"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." [1]

A steampunk video for this song was directed by P.R. Brown. All costumes for the video were designed by Emilie Autumn.
