Simply put, this song is perfect. For me it’s all about balance and “Sabali” is all over that shit. Not too long, not too short; not too sentimental, not too blasé; not too heavy, not too light; not too fast, not too slow; not too old, not too new etc. etc. But it’s the way it all comes together that makes the track. You begin with this a Capella intro with some subtle string, after which you get this gorgeous intro and melody established (with just the right amount of beeping Nintendo accents). Finally, after you’ve practically resigned to the fact that this is one of those songs, one that doesn’t need a beat to make its point, the perfect beat comes in at the perfect moment taking the song to the next level. The second half just revels in the delight of all these perfectly complimentary elements coming together, then literally says “bye-bye” before your senses are fully satiated--which would be a frustrating tease if you couldn't ceaselessly play it on repeat.
