It features Mike Garson on piano, who is known for his work with David Bowie and The Smashing Pumpkins. Additional layers of guitars are performed by Danny Lohner and Adrian Belew.[1] There is a thick fuzz texture to some of the guitar tracks, while others trigger synth patches rather than traditional guitar sounds.[2] The song's time signature is 4/4 in the intro but once the drums enter it changes to 10/4 (4 + 6).
A live video of "Just Like You Imagined" appears on the DVD version of And All That Could Have Been,[3] with some of Garson's technically challenging piano tracks substituted by a theremin played by Charlie Clouser. There is a video of live rehearsal footage at Nothing Studios in New Orleans from 2000 on the Nine Inch Nails website.[4] The song was played during the encore in the Fragility tour.[5]
