Marathon des Sables music

During the MdS the organisers played magnificently cheesy, inspiring Euro-pop anthems at the beginning of each day. This one has stayed in my mind, for its appropriate lyrics and catchy tune. You can listen to it on the YouTube clip below.

When I woke up this morning
I said to myself
should I laugh or should I cry?
It’s a little bit strange building castles
in the rain
so I made up my mind and said to myself

It’s a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today
it’s a beautiful, beautiful day,
don’t take it away.

Funny little things
can make my day,
funny little things
can make my day.

It’s a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today
it’s a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day.
don’t take it away.

At the start of the main race it was unbelievably loud, powerful and emotional
