I'm looking out
In every way
I'm searching here
For some display
I couldn't find
The hidden art
So tell me how
Adventures start
I never knew where to find
The answer to a real good time
I never knew just where to look
I never knew just what it took
I never know where to start
Adventures
Adventures are
So they say
In every part
Of every day
But out of time
And out of place
It's got me here
Stuck in a space
I never knew where to find
The answer to a real good time
I never knew just where to look
I never knew just what it took
I never know where to start
Adventures
So how am I
Supposed to find
Adventures here
Where I'm confined
I'm in a spot
So unexposed
To adventures' doors
That always close
I never knew where to find
The answer to a real good time
I never knew just where to look
I never knew just what it took
I never know where to start
Adventures
Adventures
I really like this track. I'm not sure why, but what 'Division' is to 'Anywhere' somehow 'Adventures' does the same job on 'From A to B'. It builds a lush tapestry of sound. Reverse detail. A shuffling beat but it really fits. It's choca-block of synth sounds which is what really caught my ear the first time I heard it. And the chorus is a gem, and the way its underplayed with a subliminal second vocal is clever indeed. Overall, I can't fault it!

The reversed, echo-drenched piano notes of the distinctive intro (and used throughout) are one of the key features of this track.
The percussion is quite unusual too (and hand claps(?) also from 2:18 on). Along with the bass guitar it provides a fast pace. Nice string synths too.
Tony's vocal performance is very good - putting in a lot of effort in a similar vein to "A Map Of You". And it would perhaps be easy to miss the fact that he doubles his vocal on the chorus. The background vocal sounds more like him speaking than singing. Take a listen.
I'd say it's kind of a 'driving' type of tune, a little bit like "The Office" instrumental is. One might be forgiven for thinking it one of the weaker tracks, but that's only due to the fact that the other tracks are so incredibly strong. Certainly not filler, that's for sure - it's a great track.
And so to the outro, which is a fitting end to the track: very much like the intro. Nice!
92/100
