This song is featured on the DVD and VHS versions of ''And All That Could Have Been.'' A prominent pre-recorded vocal recording, perhaps saying the title, occurs when the drums and bass come in at the beginning of the song, and bounce between the stereo channels as they fade.  The [[Fragility]] Tour version of the song featured a rare instance of Reznor playing bass.

Versions

Just Like You Imagined

This is the original album version. It begins with quiet ambience and synthesizers, providing the setting for a piano and guitar introduction. The energetic main body of the piece features three distinct melody-driven sections demarked by short breaks, one of which layers synthesizers modeling Trent Reznor's voice. The final section returns to the quietness of the introduction, but with piano and bass playing one of the basslines in unison. They fade in volume to a quiet, distorted percussion loop, which ends the song.

Just Like You Imagined (Alternate Version)

Running Time: 3:46

Released on The Fragile: Deviations 1. Also known as "Just Like You Imagined" (Alt) when it was originally released on Apple Music as part of The Fragile Instrumental. It lacks the rhythmic static at 1:37 and at the end of the song, with a shorter piano fadeout.

Just Like You Imagined (And All That Could Have Been)

This song is featured on the DVD and VHS versions of And All That Could Have Been. A prominent pre-recorded vocal recording, perhaps saying the title, occurs when the drums and bass come in at the beginning of the song, and bounce between the stereo channels as they fade. The Fragility Tour version of the song featured a rare instance of Reznor playing bass.

Live
