  • I can't give you the reasonings on why things changed, but I can give you an update from what I observed. The Oracle was run by Debs Wild. Debs is still with the band and helps out fans, for exam

:thinking:

 

But she said he's not saying the album title.

I guess she made a mistake. If you watch the video at 2:35 it is very clear that he yells "Mylo Xyloto".

^ Yeah I saw that when somebody here mentioned it shortly after Lolla. It is not very clear... because he's NOT SAYING IT. I can see where people might think that, it sounds kind of similar, but it's not that.

 

And why would she lie?

And why would she lie?

 

I am not saying she's lying. Maybe she didn't even see the video in order to answer. Just assumed that Chris wouldn't say the album title before its proper release.

 

However, if she did see and hear the video, maybe she didn't hear it so CLEAR as I am hearing it, for example.

I sense a new thread topic :P

 

Well it sounds like Mylo Xyloto, if not then what is he saying :confused:

 

I dont know many words in a sequence that sound like Mylo Xyloto XD

 

(dont hurt me :uhoh:)

I don't know guys, and I am not going to fight or argue about this, but to me it sounds pretty clear. However, maybe I am biased and I am hearing what I want to hear, not what he's saying.

Well, it was already discussed shortly after Lolla. I don't remember if it had it's own thread or if it was mentioned within another one. I'll see if I can find it.

I guess she made a mistake.

 

 

She can't be wrong because

hahaha. she has been wrong before, though.

Yeah, I think that's the thing. And I don't think she'd answer a question without having watched the video or something more. She could have said 'I don't know' or not answer the question at all. Doing the opposite, I'm sure she tells truth/knows for sure it's not MX that Chris says.

For sure he says 5 syllables, but that's as far as I got. It doesn't sound exactly like MX, but it's easy to hear it if that's what you want to hear. Also, the volume sin't great on this. I'm going to listen to the whole show, so I'll crank that part.

Don't hear it at all.

I hear it.

 

I dont agree with the oracle.

 

 

She was wrong before,and sometimes fans now more about cp than her.

I'm just wondering how she knew he didn't say Mylo Xyloto but she didn't know what he did say.

Sounds like Aa--something, I don't hear Mylo at all.. I hear the xyloto part maybe though.

Q. Dear Oracle,

 

On the album official announcement written by Chris, there is a little drawing with two words just after the phonetic spelling of Mylo Xyloto. What does the drawing represent and what does it say?? I can't make it out...

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

It says under 1 roof and it's written under, er, a roof!

Q. Dear Oracle,

There's this ridiculous rumor that 'Mylo' is an Egyptian derivative of the name Miley and 'Xyloto' comes from the Greek term for Tombs of the Kings which is located on the island of Cyprus. When you combine both of them it'll say "Miley Cyprus." In other words, "Miley Cyrus." And according to this article, the album was dedicated to her. So, please Oracle, can you tell all the Coldplayers out there that this is not true?

Thanks in advance!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I most certainly can tell you all that this is not true - once I have stopped laughing hysterically that is! I have no idea who dreams this stuff up but by golly, they really should find more interesting ways to spend their time. Ha, ha, ha!

Q. Hello Oracle,

 

I know you won't publish my question but I'll write it down the same. Is there any connection between MYLO XYLOTO and the street artist XYLO (whose name is MYLO)? There are lots of coincidences and not just in the name...

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Nope, no connection at all. The band have never heard of him. I checked him out and it's purely a coincidence that his name is Mylo (there are plenty around) as is the fact he's into graffiti.
