One of the most well-crafted songs from the Goodbye and Hello album, "Phantasmagoria in Two" wields classical, Elizabethan musical themes with some standard folk guitar changes. Electric guitarist Lee Underwood's excellent, subtle lines are indeed part of the countermelody, and he wouldn't have been out of line asking for a co-writing credit. Lyrically, this song is another example of Buckley's vulnerability, as he lays his emotions on the line at the beginning of a relationship, yet also admits his shortcomings. The studio version is indeed excellent, but the live version (now on the Troubadour collection) carries a more accurate image of the song's point.
