"Walk This World" is a song by Bermudian singer-songwriter Heather Nova. Released in 1994 by Butterfly Records as her first single, the song was included on her second studio album, Oyster (1994). Nova wrote the lyrics, while Felix Tod and Youth produced it. The song was a top 20 hit in New Zealand as well as on the Canadian RPM Rock/Alternative chart. It is her most well-known song, which has led to Nova being considered a one hit wonder in many countries.
Steve Baltin from Cash Box wrote, "Nova is a new singer/songwriter with a gift for words behind her Tom Petty-like rock riffs. Whereas most female singer/songwriters are being placed on Modern Rock outlets, Nova’s roots are in rock. Yet the crossover success of Jeff Buckley indicates that she will likely find acceptance from those outlets. A strong singer as well. Nova has made a memorable first impression."[1] Johnny Cigarettes from NME noted "the irresistible spirit of a stirring mini-epic blowing across this song."[2]
The accompanying music video for "Walk This World" was directed by American film director, producer, screenwriter, and cinematographer Zack Snyder. It was filmed all around the world, while Nova plays her guitar and sings the song at the different locations.
