submitted by Dana, United States of America Q. Hello All Knowledgeable Oracle! It would be such an honor if you would answer my question I give to you... I came across this song called Light Through The Veins by John Hopkins on one of my iTunes radios. When I first heard it, it sounded awfully like the beginning of Life In Technicolor. It basically has the same exact notes as the beginning of the boys song, which is kind of frustrating to me. Do you have an explanation for this, dear Oracle? Did John Hopkins pull a Vanilla Ice on Coldplay? Or is this just a remix of some sort? Thank you! I wish you a wonderful day.
THE ORACLE REPLIES: There's a reason it sounds similar but it's not a remix nor did Jon take LiT and do something else with it; it's the other way around. Viva's album sleeve explains: "Life in Technicolor and The Escapist both incorporate a large sample of Light Through the Veins written by Jon Hopkins." (The licensing information follows the credit).
submitted by Lorenzo, Italy Q. Hi Oracle, do you think that relationships between two people with a large age difference (over 20 years) can stand?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: I think it totally depends on the two people; yes in some cases and no in others - as with every relationship.

15 April 2015 submitted by Saryu, IndiaQ. Hi Oracle, I wanted to ask you whether the book they show in the video of Life in Technicolor ii really exists? Is yes, where can I get it from? I hope you answer my question, I have been thinking about that for a while now. Lots of love. THE ORACLE REPLIES: I answered this back in 2009 but no, it's not real. You can read an interview with the director here to find out more about it. There are a few unofficial books (pretty much copy / cut / paste jobs) but no authorized Coldplay book as yet. submitted by Marie, United States of America
Q. I found this video online: Is it just me or is a Chris walking out and a Chris looking back somewhere around 3:12 at the same time? How is this? Was the walking out part edited in? Thanks, Marie. THE ORACLE REPLIES: It's just you; the "Chris" looking back isn't Chris.

submitted by Anasshoumane, United Kingdom via twitter Q. In the intro of AIMH and outro of O, before Apple starts singing Don't Ever Let Go, what is the choir singing?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: It's not a choir; Apple and her friend Mabel sang (Moses Martin sang the reprise). For both Always In My Head and O the lyrics are: Oh, don't ever let go. Don't ever let go.
submitted by Sally, United Kingdom Q. Do you know if Chris still owns the raincoat he wore in yellow, it's my favourite song and I just always wondered?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: I have no way of knowing but I'd put money on the answer being "no". As is the nature of videos, it may not even have been his coat.
submitted by Abdul, United Kingdom Q. I plan going on a trip on my own before I head to college. Is it ok that I want to do it alone and see new people. Is that bad?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: I don't think it's bad at all - each to their own. I think you have to do what makes you happy. It can be hard when you leave people behind but you can keep in touch while you're on your new adventure. Start the next chapter and look forward to the stories you can share. College will still be there when you get back. You may face opposition to your decision but if you're of adult age and you're sure it's what you want to do, go for it.

The Oracle has been asked the #1 question on more than one occasion, and I don't think they are ever going to understand it. No matter who sang it, there is definitely something being said before AIMH starts, and it's not "don't ever let go..." It sounds like "Once happy" to me, but I'm not sure.

17 April 2015 / submitted by Samuel, United States of America Q. TEAM ORACLE QUESTION #211 I have this friend. She hates my guts now. She won't talk to me at all. We were best friends. She said she doesn't have a reason why she hates me... I'm crushed and I've been listening to Warning Sign a lot now. What do I do? I see her 6 times a week. THE ORACLE REPLIES: I feel for you, Samuel. Quite frankly, your friend doesn't sound like much of a friend. Over the years I have lost friends (both mine and their doing) and I can't say there was ever a time when I didn't know the reason. Even if that reason was that we drifted apart. If you honestly can't think of anything you may have done or said that she took offence to, it must be very hard for you to try and make sense of it on top of the rejection. Seeing her so often must be painful but try to avoid contact. Perhaps before you do, write her a letter saying how you feel and ask that at the very least you are given an explanation. It may be that other people have influenced her decision if she's become part of a new circle which is sadly common at a young age. I'm afraid other than that, there is nothing you can do apart from make new friends and / or surround yourself with people who do want to be friends with you. Sorry I can't be of more help but in a nutshell, move on and be happy with better friends. Over to you. If this is how she is going to treat you then leave them. Seriously. I have been through something similar, and then came to discover that she was not a true friend. I know this type, they change friends like they change clothes. A lot. Be careful, she might be playing around to see if you truly care or not. It doesn't seem like this is the case, though. Good luck Samuel. Love, Solaf.
I think that all your friend wants is a change. Maybe something happened to her, and now she's just trying to adapt. Maybe she's changing, and all she wants is for the world to change with her. I just know that this is what my life has been for almost a year now. I've had this feeling, that this is not my life, and the only one who can fix that is me. I'm trying to mould my world into what I need it to be for this new version of myself, because I've changed too much myself already. I had these friends who cared so much about me, but in the year I finally started living, they've become so distant to me. I hate myself for letting them slip away, but I hate them, too, for making it so easy to let go of them. Maybe this is what your friend is thinking. I think you need to talk to her. If you really care you need to show her. Because if she is as far gone as I am, you're really gonna need to show her exactly how much you care and how much you're hurting. My friends say that nothing's changed, and we're still close friends, but that's all they do. They're never there for me when I need them, so I wish they'd just stop pretending, stop half-heartedly caring. In short - BE the friends you wish you could be, or just give up, and let her go completely. Victoria.
I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe she doesn't have a reason, there's always a reason. And if she says there isn't one I think she's lying and you should wonder if she was ever your best friend to begin with. You don't go from being 'best friends' to not talking to each other and lying about the reason why overnight. Can you remember when her not talking to you started? Did something happen that week/day that could've caused her behavior? Are you sure she actually hates you? You could write her a letter, but she'll probably not respond to that either. I know its hard, but I'd walk up to her, ask to speak to her in private and just confront her and ask for an explanation. I really hope it works out, but you might have to consider letting this go. I know that's hard, but in the end you can't force her to be friends with you again and you'll be better off spending your time on making new friends, then waiting around for something that might never happen. Good luck! Amanda.
What happened to you is horrible, it happened to me many times. Sometimes it ended well and sometimes not so good. I presume you tried talking to your friend, and she said what was supposed to be said and if not, try to read between the lines. Maybe she told you a reason, but she said it in a way only she understood, this happens every now and then. If she was and still is your best friend, she doesn't have a reason to hate you, a friend loves you with your good moods and bad moods, with your guts, or without it. There are times when even a strong person is hurt by certain words or stuff like this, it's normal. Even the strongest fall, but when they rise, they rise like the Phoenix from its ash. I once told myself that it was my fault, that I was the reason why my friend was mad, but in the end, it's not only your fault. Talk to each other openly, discuss about everything that comes to your mind, bad or good, funny or not, painful or lovely, this way you will cover every subject of discussion you ever had. Just go in a pub or park or the first place where you met and remind yourselves about the good times and smile and laugh and be again what you used to be. I hope I helped! I wish you good luck!! Lots of Love from Romania. Madalina.
That's good if you listen Warning Sign, but I don't know if it will help you. I hope so! You realize that you are in love but the other side is not responding you the way you would like it. I guess she knows about your feelings and she runs away because you have ruined your friendship somehow and she can't stand it. Maybe she has also some feelings for you but she is too afraid and confused. You should talk to her directly and ask her any question about your friendship, I hope it'll make things more clear. It's hard that you see her often but that's good situation for your growing up and maturing. Try to learn how to deal with your emotions and reactions, even if it is difficult, make that situation to serve you for learning. Respect her feelings and decisions; if you can go on as friends or be together or not to be at all, accept that as a life lesson and be patient with yourself and others always knowing that something great is waiting for you,just keep climbing the mountain! With love, Kamili.
I, like many others, can relate to your situation. As I have grown older I have seen the best of friends come and go from my life and it is never easy. Sometimes it is because we can no longer relate to each other or that we have both matured and the realization hits that we aren't the same people that we once were. I feel for you and I know its never easy. In my experiences the best thing to do is to not force anything and give yourself space from this person when possible. There is a reason why she doesn't want to be around you but you shouldn't concern yourself with that right now. Sometimes you just need to tell people like this that you love them for being such a good friend over the years and that you will always be there for her if she needs someone to talk to. You never truly know what a person is going through and many times letting them know that you are there for them if they ever need anything is exactly what they need to hear. If she does not come around do not take it personally. People change and there is nothing that you can do about it. Keep you head up and continue being a caring and loving person and everything will work out in the end. Jay.
Unless she's been through a rough time recently and this is a coping mechanism, I'd say give her a wide berth. You can't make her tell you why (if there is a why) and you can't make her be friends with you but you can be with other friends who make you feel good instead of her. Your friend may he hiding something so it's up to you whether to support her from a distance or not. I wouldn't fight for her - not just yet. See if time makes a difference. Who knows, she may come back and you may be the one telling her that you don't want to be her friend? I'm sure she doesn't hate you - that's extreme - but weird things can happen inside us when we're growing up and maybe she's struggling with her thoughts and feelings. Fiona.

20 April 2015 submitted by Marcela, BrazilQ. Hi, dear Oracle !! I have this question that keeps me wondering all the time, it's about the clothes that the band wears. My question is: who decides the kind of clothes they will gonna wear on tour and how are they made. Thank you very very much! THE ORACLE REPLIES: The band come up with the initial ideas - style / colour / theme - and then meet with stylists. The clothes are not all made the same way. Some are custom made (Viva / Mylo) and some are off the rail and some are a combination of both. The Viva outfits are a great example of what I mean, as you can see here. submitted by Aimee, IrelandQ. Hi Oracle! I've just been wondering, who made the puppets of the boys in the Life In Technicolor ii music video? THE ORACLE REPLIES: A guy called Nonny Banks. I answered a question about the LiTii video last week. The link I shared gives more information about their creation. submitted by Luis, Puerto RicoQ. Dear Oracle, do you know where I can find a Paradise elephant costume? Many thanks in advance! THE ORACLE REPLIES: They were just costumes hired from fancy dress shops - except Guy's which was very expensive as they couldn't get a 4th one the same in time.

submitted by Sigrid, Chile Q. Q. Hey Oracle. Is the band celebrates anniversaries Coldplay? And whether celebrates how does the place?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: No. There are some key dates that we acknowledge (Anchorman and myself have good memory skills) and we may point those dates out if they feel significant. There are so many anniversaries and we don't tend to celebrate them.
submitted by Abdulaziz, Kuwait Q. Hi Oracle! Actually I heard the song Idiot which the band sang live at Sydney. I really loved the song so much and I wonder if the band even thinking about releasing it. And if not why?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: I doubt they think about it AT ALL. Ever. Why? Because it's 13 years old! It's just not relevant any more and they're moving forwards, not backwards. I can't think of one artist who released a song that old. Ah, actually, I know that All Around the World (Oasis) was written much earlier but pencilled in for album 3 at the time of writing - that's forward planning. That wasn't the case for Idiot or any of the other AROBTTH rejects.
submitted by John, United States of America Q. Hello, I am a huge fan of Coldplay and I would like to do guitar covers of some of their songs like Don't Panic, White Shadows, and Square One (I would have the recordings playing as I play)... However I recently learned about the copyright laws of YouTube and would like to avoid any copyright. So I guess what I am asking is whether I am allowed to do this, and if not, then how do I get permission.
THE ORACLE REPLIES: If you have the records playing in the background you are in breach of copyright so can't do it. If you don't have them playing in the background, you can do it. Signed bands / songwriters do not own copyright to their songs so they cannot grant permission. You'd have to get in touch with Parlophone Records and Universal Publishing for a license.

Wasn't there an earlier question about the possibility of releasing old unreleased material, and the answer was something like, you never know, it could happen? Maybe I'm imagining that.

submitted by Alice, Brazil Q. Dear Oracle, once my physics teacher quoted Coldplay in the classroom and said that Chris had some sort of training, diploma in Arts. That's right?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: Not to my knowledge, no. Chris didn't study the Arts or any art subjects. He studies Ancient World Studies (Greek & Latin).
submitted by Eric, United States of America Q. Can anyone identify the font used in the intro titles for the Paradise music video? It's the same font that the current Parlophone logo uses. I'm not sure if the crooked O's are part of the font or have been tweaked. Thanks!
THE ORACLE REPLIES: I don't know the font name but yes, it is the current Parolophone font and the Os are part of that font.

submitted by Laurie, Canada Q. Hey Oracle, Hope you are doing great! A good while back you answered a question with regards to a video of The Scientist, performed at Glastonbury 2005. The band as you recall took crowd pics after the song. Any ideas what sites they may have shown up on, would really love to see them.
THE ORACLE REPLIES: I've never seen those photos published anywhere. As you may know, the band took photos on disposable cameras during the Twisted logic Tour and threw the cameras out into the crowd. Goodness knows who caught them and where - if anywhere - the photos appeared. I'm sure some will have made their way online. Perhaps we should start a campaign to track them down?
submitted by Frank , Germany Q. Why I can't find a Miracle Promo CD?
THE ORACLE REPLIES: Because there isn't one. Miracles was only available as a single track download.

24 April 2015 / submitted by Andre, Peru Q. TEAM ORACLE QUESTION #212 Perhaps it is not really relevant, it is important for me... I'm a very insecure and shy guy, and it is difficult for me to talk to a girl. The point is that sometimes I fall in love with some girl I know just for a month, it seems stupid, but usually happens, the question is: Am I a womanizer? Thank you in advance. THE ORACLE REPLIES: I'm guessing you're a teenager because you're describing very normal teenage behaviour. The fact you're shy & insecure gives me the information that you are not a womaniser despite you falling for girls very quickly. I wouldn't focus on that - I'd work on your self-esteem and confidence. Try to forget that they're girls and remember they're people. Talk to them like you would talk to your friends rather than there be any awkwardness. Get to know them and vice versa. See what common interests you share and suggest going somewhere together. There's no rush so take your time. You can fall in love instantly so a month isn't necessary quick but it's the frequency of those feelings with different people. That's probably your age. There comes a point where we become interested in people romantically and it can be very confusing. There are a lot of girls out there. The key is to treat them (& yourself) with respect. Be nice and there's no problem - as long as you're not hurting anyone. If you were a heartbreaker, then we'd have an issue but currently it sounds like you're just adjusting to a new phase. When you're growing up - and sometimes when you are grown up - you will experience strong feelings that can mistaken for love (especially infatuation). Desire, intrigue, a common interest, having a similar personality can all attract you to someone or it could simply be your hormones bouncing up & down. Don't forget that many people feel the same way. Just relax and be yourself. Oh, and if you're not a teenager, most of this answer can still be applied. Over to you. I am a girl and you seem like a mirror to me when I was younger and it happened to me in the same way. But I say no, I don't think you are a womanizer unless you tell us that you fall in love with more than one girl at the same time. Usually the boys didn't notice me or saw just a "friend", not someone to fall in love with in me. I can't explain you why we feel / felt so. Luckily I found my boyfriend and we are together for nearly 4 years. It took it's time 'til he fell in love with me, too. Have patience . Good luck. Maren.
You're not a womanizer, Andre. You just seem to be easily infatuated with girls. I've dealt with the same thing, but it's nothing to be worried about. What I do is, if I feel like I like somebody, I wait a month or two, while still getting to know them. If I still like them after that time, I then follow up on those feelings. I'd recommend you do the same, or similar, but it's a common, and harmless issue, unless you start leading on a lot of girls at one time. Jackson, USA.
I'm there right now, and there is nothing wrong with how you're feeling; you can get a crush on anyone who sticks out to you or impresses you. We (you, me, and probably most people in the world) are just feeling a natural love for at least a few of the amazing people in the world, and of course we want to be around people that make us feel good or better about ourselves. The worst thing we can do is to flutter like a butterfly to whatever gives us temporary pleasure, instead of making lasting friends that could last you a lifetime. Your love for them can make you more personable to them rather than drive them away in most cases. Nick.
Oh no no no, you really aren't. I know what that feels like, I used to be the shy girl who fell in "love" with many many people as I went about. It is a really natural feeling, and you shouldn't feel that it's stupid or lame. You mustn't let it affect you in any way, though. But you know, you should try actually talking to them, you know, they are just as scared, and just as shy as you, the only difference between you and them is that they try and actually get over their shyness instead of letting it conquer. I did that, and trust me it makes a very big difference. Try it, it works, but naturally it will take time. I hope things work out for you. Love, Solaf.
Good News, Andre! Changing your "crush" or "dream date" every month or so, does not qualify you to be a womanizer. It is completely normal for a shy guy to take interest in a girl they haven't really known for a bit. I would almost say that it would be wierd if someone hasn't a least once. However, if you pursue all those different ladies and change to pursue another one every month, it may cause you to walk on the road that leads/ends to womanizing. Which may and can cause further complications for the girls. The most serious case I've witnessed is when they start taking a sudden interest in the song The Scientist while usually accompanied by a bowl of rocky road ice cream, to symbolize their rocky, month-old relationship with you. You being a Coldplay fan, as I presume, you've probably heard of this "disease" (which can't really be called that cause The Scientist is an awesome song). Anyways, a bit off point. You're all good man. I just suggest that when decide to talk to one of those girls, you stick to that one for a while... Best Wishes! Jonathan.
Andre, if it's important to you, then it certainly isn't irrelavant! The answer to your question is, no. You are not a womanizer. Not unless you go after girls with cheesy lines all the time, only to have sex with them and then dump them again at least. I used to be, or maybe still am, shy and insecure like you. I'd fall in love with a guy but after a month or two tops, when things were about to get serious, I always dumped them. I don't think that has anything to do with being a womanizer (or whatever the female version of that is) and everything with being shy and insecure.I recommend trying something like assertiveness training or something similar to help you overcome your insecurities. Good luck! Amanda.
I'll start by telling you that I, like you, am very shy and insecure, but that's not something bad, it's actually sweet. You say that you feel that you're in love after a month, well, I know I'm in love after a second. The thing is, to fell in love is something unique and you live the feeling of love with all your heart and soul. So, to answer your question, I'll put you to ask yourself, for how long do you love someone? If it's for more than 6 months, then you really felt and feel something real, but if it lasts less, then you should consider the fact that you just had a big crush. I don't think you're a womanizer, you just get attached to someone very fast, don't worry, some people do that, I myself as well. It's not a bad thing to care, but it is bad to get hurt in the end because you cared too much. I went through that, so please be careful who you share your heart with. Be yourself, try to know the ones next to you better and smile. Lots of Love from Romania!! Madalina.
We need to make a few distinctions here. First of all, falling in love with someone is not the same as feeling attracted to someone. You can like somebody so much when you meet them that you become a little obsessed with that person and can't stop thinking about them. But that doesn't mean you are actually in love. Falling in love with somebody is different. It doesn't happen often. You don't "usually fall in love". Loving someone implies not only feeling attracted to a person. When you love someone, you can imagine a future together with them. You love them with (what you consider to be) their flaws. You want to make that person happy and want them to be happy even if they are not in a relationship with you. It's totally normal to like different people and to go on dates, and the fact that that happens often doesn't turn you into a womanizer. You date people to get to know them, until one day you find a special someone you want to have a relationship with. A womanizer is someone who seduces/dates several girls at the same time and doesn't want any commitment. And sometimes they don't make clear that they don't want anything serious (and it's very important to be clear about that, given the case). So take it easy when you meet a new girl you like. Take it slow. Noelia, Argentina.
If you cheat your girlfriends or change them constantly, then you're probably a womanizer, but if you only fall in love, I don't think that's bad. You are in a process of maturing and growing up, let yourself explore life, girls and your feelings, but always with respect and truth. If you say you're shy, I think that you fall in love often because you're too shy to do something, to make a step, so it's easier to change a feeling and fall in love with another person than stop and try to grow that feeling by facing that girl and meeting her, being with her. Maybe you should take your feelings more serious and find out if they are deep enough and then to work on that relationship. Try to meet the girl more, spend a lot of time together, be just friends until you realize if it can become a love relationship, but always tell her what you really feel and explain the steps you take. Good luck!! Kamili.
You probably don't fall in love with the girl, but just seem to like her. Love is a very strong emotion that would be very hard to overcome about the person that you have feelings for (not in a months time span). Think about what type of feelings, Specifically, and think about the kind of relationship you want with the girl. If you do constantly change the girl you like, then you MIGHT be a womanizer. But it does really depend on why you like the girl. Gary. Thanks to all those who replied to this week's question.

27 April 2015 submitted by Tarasha, CanadaQ. Hey, I've always been a fan of the Ghost Stories album and I absolutely love the animations. Do you know which artist designed them? Also, do you happen to know the inspiration behind them: THE ORACLE REPLIES: I don't know if you mean the inspiration behind the artwork or the animation but either way, it was the music. The band commissioned Mila Furstova for the artwork and there were many discussions and ideas bounced around before giving Mila a lot of free reign to design and make her beautiful etchings.

Q. Hi Oracle, I went to listen to the Viva album on Spotify and was pretty mad when the first song started playing and it wasnt't Life In Technicolor but a radio edit of Life In Technicolor ii, why is that? THE ORACLE REPLIES: I think you may be confused, Rafael. Life in Technicolor - that appears on the album - is the shorter version of the two. Life in Technicolor ii is the longer and appears on Prospekt's March. On my Spotify I only see the Prospekt's March Edition of Viva which has both Life in Technicolor & Life in Technicolor ii.
