I asked The Oracle if it's "Don Quiote" or "Spanish Rain". Maybe she can pin the boy down. :rolleyes:

Hope she answers! :D

Q. Dear Oracle I would like to know what did Chris feel when he saw so many fans at the hotel in Buenos Aires?? We felt like we touched the sky with our hands, it was so beautiful!!! Thanks for answer me!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Yesterday Chris was saying how amazing it is to see so many fans and if it wasn't for those fans the band wouldn't be doing what they do or be in the wonderful position of travelling to these amazing countries. It is very touching to see so many and their reactions to a brief moment of glimpsing the band off stage. The sheer tears of joy makes even the toughest of us feel quite emotional!

Q. Hi mighty Oracle on tour!

First of all, thank you (and by these I mean all Coldplay peolple, crew, band, everyone) so much for the amazing show in Buenos Aires, by far the best concert I've been in.

Ok, here's the question: can you give us the lyrics from the Don Quixote song? Because singing the "oleee olee ole oleee"s was so much fun (in the Spanish way, of course), I want to learn the whole song (and I'm sure lots of people want this too). Please, dear Oracle?

Have fun touring :)

Love from Argentina.

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I haven't seen a copy of the lyrics just yet. Lyrics to songs are added to the site's lyric section when released so it's not usual to publish them until that point. What I can tell you is that Don Quixote is now known as its former name Spanish Rain. Given the weather at both shows so far Latin American Rain would have been just as fitting!!

Q. Hi there!

I would really appreciate it if you could tell me the lyrics for Don Quixote. I think I understood most of them, but I'm not quite sure... we loved the song, thank you so much! I still can't believe I was there at your show, it was amazing. By the way, when we sang "ole, ole, ole...", we didn't just say "ole", we said: "ole, ole, ole, ole, coldplay, Coldplay" I don't know if you understood it, because in your song you just sang "ole". Well, thank you so much for coming, it was one of the best nights of my life! Hope you had a good time too :)

Cheers. Lola.

P.S.: sorry for my English, still learning!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Yeah we were pretty impressed that some fans were singing that even before the first show started which means it could be heard during the soundcheck. We heard the change at the end as in fact that's what's being chanted outside the hotels! I could hear it from my room last night...

Q. Hey Oracle. I would like to know how is the band feeling right now when they are about to make their best concert ever!!! 04/03/10

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Everyone is a little tired after a very long travel day but also excited since arriving in Colombia and seeing the great vibe of the place and its people.

Once again incredibly patient fans were waiting at the hotel and there was one spectacular gift that no doubt Roadie #42 will post photographs of. It really is in an incredible thing!

Anyway, we have yet to see whether the band play the best concert ever but this time tomorrow we will be about to find out!

Now she made me curious!!! :bomb:

aww I want to send in a question too.. but have no idea what to ask :thinking:

I asked The Oracle if it's "Don Quiote" or "Spanish Rain". Maybe she can pin the boy down. :rolleyes:

 

Did you read that story about the fan that met Chris at one of the gigs and asked him that question already?

"After that we were supposed to leave because another group of journalists would go in, but I was able to have a small chat with Chris against security orders. I asked him how was the new song called afterall 'cause he'd named it both Don Quijote and Spanish Rain and we were puzzled. He said it'd be called Spanish Rain probably, because they have another new song called Don Quijote. They still don't know what to do with these 2 songs and I was all: Wow 2 songs, that's even better."

 

Yay! Two songs! :dance:

^ YAY, I can't wait to hear the other one!!

 

I did ask the Oracle what was the real name of the song, too.

Q. Dear Oracle, I would really like to know how did Chris Martin feel about more then 60.000 Brazilians wishing and singing happy birthday to him yesterday (03.02.10) in the Sao Paulo concert? I hope he really liked it. I was there, and I sang with all my heart, as I think everybody did. I would really appreciate if you could answer me because me and all the Brazilian fans wanted to make that night very special for him, who spent HIS day making OUR day, and we would like to know if we got to do it somehow...???

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Absolutely! You all made a huge impact at the show. It's an amazing feeling to perform to so many people on a birthday. I was stood with Chris' father and the band's publisher who asked "What were you doing 33 years ago?" and his Dad proceeded to tell us all about Chris' very first appearance. Chris had a really great day yesterday and received many gifts; though he tries to keep it all low key there was a party thrown for him after the gig and we all had lots of fun.

Awwww...........:smug:proud papa stories ! "back when Chris made his first appearance:baby:"

 

:awesome: my my my, how the boy has grown:wink3:

Before asking Chris I did the same question to The Oracle :awesome: And the oracle was as puzzled as we :lol:

Q. Anchorman's report tells of Chris and his dad being the last to leave Chris's birthday party. If I remember correctly, Chris's dad was with him (in Australia?) at his last birthday, with the story going that his Dad way outlasted him. Does Chris's dad travel with the band often or does he only join them around Chris's birthday?

Thanks!

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Chris and his Dad were the last to leave and last year he did stay up longer than his son. He travels with them for quite a few shows not just around birthday time. He's here for the entire Latin American tour this time. One of Chris's sisters was here too but left for the U.K yesterday. There's been quite an entourage of family and friends on this trip.

Q. I was wondering the other day what is Chris's favorite song... if you could, please answer this question!!! Thank you.

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Funny you should ask me that because after the Rio show I told Chris that Politik was the best I had ever heard them play it and it's my favourite. He replied that it was in his top two favourite Coldplay songs and you know what? I didn't think to ask what his favourite was! I will endeavour to find out as I suspect it changes from time to time so it may be different today than it was on Sunday!

Something tells me he will say his favorite song will be "something we're working on at the moment". :dozey:

Q. Hello Oracle! How was your holiday?

 

I got X&Y for Christmas, and I was flipping through the inside booklet. What is written on the back page? Even with the key I couldn't figure it out.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

The band wanted to have Make Trade Fair as the final message in code.

Congrats, Christina! I'd feel really happy too, if my question was answered by the Oracle. She receives literally hundreds and hundreds of questions each day!

Q. Dear Oracle:

I want to know if the band had struggles yesterday with the altitude (high) in Bogota? the concert yesterday was amazing...Coldplay is the best band of the world.

Oracle please answer me

 

The Oracle replies:

The altitude has certainly affected us all especially in Colombia. Will was saying last night how he feels quite short of breath. We've all noticed being light-headed and almost a wobbly on your feet feeling.

We're now in Mexico City so we should start to adjust soon.

Q. Hey dear Oracle!!

I was just wondering how the band felt playing here in Bogota. Speaking for myself it was the best night ever, I had never felt such a rush and such excitement! Please answer me, I hope they felt as if they were at home.

Ps: Sorry for my english :)

Thank you!!

The Oracle replies:

The general opinion amongst the touring party is that the crowd in Bogota was the best yet with their manager even saying it was one of the best shows he has ever seen. The atmosphere was amazing with a deafening response to every song; it made the hairs on the back of my arm stand on end (which is a good thing to say by the way).

I can also share with you that a couple of people admitted to feeling very emotional with tears welling up because of the atmosphere you all created. Well done Bogota, you gave Rio a run for its money!

 

 

Chris....???:D

ive gotten two of my questions answered, maybe thats why the oracle never answers my questions anymore :(

Aww to tears :nice:

Well done Colombia!! :nice:

Q. Our Oracle!!

I'm very excited the show in Bogota was amazing, I love you so much. The question is: I wanna know if the band eats something of the Colombian kitchen and n if this like the band. pls answer me n sorry for my English.

pd: come back pls

pd2: I don't know where r the puppets in the photo in Colombia.....

 

thnx

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

We weren't in Colombia for too long but the first night we arrived in time for dinner. Some people stayed in and had room service and some went out locally; there were no complaints about the lovely food!The catering at the venue was really tasty too.

I have to say the weirdest thing that I tried was in a very small cafe in the centre of the city. A few of us had hot chocolate and it came with cheese on the side. I was the only one who put the cheese into the chocolate, drank it and then used the spoon to eat the cheese! Weird but actually quite nice!

The puppets were photographed in a gazebo at the Parque Sim�n Bol�var where the concert took place. The backdrop of the mountains with the sun setting was just the perfect photo opportunity.

Q. Hi, Oracle I'm so exited because today is your concert I been waiting for 5 months.

But I have a question: What do you do before the concert begins?

A LOT OF KISSES UR THE BEST

LOUSA

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

A typical show day will consist of training in the gym, eating breakfast and chilling out before lobby call. Once they get to the venue they will play on the Playstation or table tennis as well as promo work, dinner and a meet & greet before they warm up for the performance. Chris will also pop to watch some of Bat for Lashes when he can.

Wow. The Oracle answering on Saturday? This vacations are doing good for her! :P
