Artificial Paradise

John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists in rock history. He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz. In 2008, Cale and Clapton received a Grammy Award for their album The Road to Escondido. more »

Many loves in a lifetime, 
They seem to go astray
Many people come and go, 
They never seem to stay
Sometimes I kid myself, 
Then I realise
I'm just living in an artificial paradise
A hundred times, 
My hopes and dreams are blown into the air
A thousand times, 
It always seems no one is really there
Then I know I'm fooling myself, 
I'm not so wise
I'm just living in an artificial paradise
Plastic state of mind, 
Superficial clothes
Living in a vacuum, close to zero
Sometimes I kid myself, 
Then I realise
I'm just living in an artificial paradise
