Synopsis

A woman enters a recording studio with a black cat, which accidentally triggers the song by stepping on a keyboard. As Aerosmith perform, the band appears on studio monitors and video screens surrounded by imagery from their earlier music videos. Steven Tyler sings directly to the camera while the footage shifts between the present-day performance and a visual archive of the band's Geffen-era identity.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was released in 1995 to promote "Walk On Water," one of two new tracks on Aerosmith's compilation album *Big Ones*.

• Its central visual device is a video wall showing excerpts from earlier Aerosmith clips, making the promotional film function partly as a retrospective of the band's MTV era.

• The opening studio sequence uses the black cat as a playful trigger for the track: when it steps on a keyboard, the music begins.

• "Walk On Water" was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Jack Blades, and Tommy Shaw.

• The song was Aerosmith's last single released through Geffen Records before the band returned to Columbia Records.

• The track was also included in the 1995 computer game *Quest for Fame*, an Aerosmith-themed title built around interactive rock performance.
