"Phantasmagoria in Two"
Song


Phantasmagoria in Two is a song that was composed by Tim Buckley, as appose to the Larry Beckett/Tim Buckley collaboration that was more commanly credited during Buckley's early years, and released (with Once I Was) as the third and final single from his second studio album, Goodbye and Hello. The song - which is dominated by its hauntingly Psychedelic intertwining guitar and piano sequences - is lyrically much like the majority of the other Buckley solo compositions of the time (such as Pleasant Street, Once I Was & Wings), with less of a specifically metaphoric and more of a purely ambiguous approach to the topic in question. However, despite these lyrical simmilarities, musically, it is perhaps the most deeply Psychedelic of Buckley's published recordings.
Indeed, when recorded in June 1967, it was the height of the Psychedelic era and yet despite being very much of its time, the single failed to reach anything like a significant chart position.
Despite its chart failing, the song still maintains a legacy as it was selected to be the opening track for what was perhaps Buckley's most significant live performance - at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, England. The concert would later (in 1990) be released in album format as Dream Letter: Live in London 1968 and the live, acoustic and notably slower version of the track would go on to be included on the notable 2001 compilation album Morning Glory: The Tim Buckley Anthology. The song was also covered by the British musician Neil Halstead on the 2000 tribute album Sing a Song for You: Tribute to Tim Buckley which was contributed to by a series of other artists.
