The power ballad was written by Diane Warren, who originally envisioned it would be performed by " Celine Dion or somebody like that". It is one of four songs performed by the band for the film, the other three being " What Kind of Love Are You On", " Come Together", and " Sweet Emotion".
" I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is a song performed by American hard rock band Aerosmith for the 1998 sci-fi disaster film Armageddon, in which lead singer Steven Tyler's daughter Liv starred in. With smiles and tears, good memories of a not so distant era, this clip is a must-see, even if you can't stand the song (I love it but somehow I always think that a power ballad band could make it more interesting than what Aerosmith did, but since the band and Warren were on a winning partnership in that decade the result was fine anyway)."I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" on YouTube Sure, there's some magnificent and curious shots involving the band performing the Oscar nominated song in the middle of some special effects while they're in the pod launch, good stuff but I've seen a lot better (and without spending all that much cash) clips. There's the spectacle of scenes, edited with great tempo, teasing the viewer into getting to know more about the movie (a little suspect to talk about it cause I'm a big fan of it, watching ever since childhood) and enjoying the song while you're at it. Now, this one is just a commercial platform to showcase Michael Bay's blockbuster and nothing more.

But back in between 1980's and early 2000's having a video plus song from a certain film was a real event, at least to me they worked as a brilliant and better developed trailer, ten times better than the film trailers we're seeing these days. I'm not sure how current generations actually view clips and specially soundtrack videos. It consists of Aerosmith performing the song on a sound stage resembling NASA operation (to fit with the movie's theme, duh) intercut with clips from the movie, mostly scenes involving the couple played by Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler (daughter of Aerosmith's front man Steven Tyler). And the video adds a little something special to the already sound.

From the series of good soundtrack clips, comes Aerosmith's theme from "Armageddon", "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" (written by the great Diane Warren) holds a significant motion picture track that knocks down many romantic ballads out there, with power, energy and rock n'roll.
