Q. Mystical Oracle.

What is Chris' e-mail? I've tried emailing so many different 1s but they all come up wrong and don't send!

Plz plz plz plz plz help me!

From wondering Hayley

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

It doesn't matter which variation you try; none will work as Chris doesn't have an email address. Actually I wouldn't give out personal emails anyway but thought rather than you continue trying it's better that you know.

Um, that's not stalkerish or anything...:uhoh:

 

I've sent in a bunch of questions recently...and nothing :disappointed:.

You should try with The Angie :wacko:

youhouu sven it's me xD

Q. Anonymous Oracle, I need your help. There is this song that I know love, but typically, I can't remember what it's called or who it is by. All I have is one lyric, and that is " Here I go again on my own, down the only road I've ever known". What song is it??!! You're my very last resort, I'm depending on you!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I really hope it's the soft rock epic that is Whitesnake's Here I Go Again.

Random fact: I remember thinking the woman in the official video, Tawny Kitaen, was the most gorgeous girl in the world.

Q. What would be a better name for a cat; Jonny or Guy?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Personally I'd opt for either of their surnames; Buckland or Berryman. I just can't imagine shouting Jonny or Guy in for their dinner! If I had to choose though I'd pick Jonny because you can call him JB or Jonny Boy and that would suit a cat far more.

Q. Hi!I don't understand what is a soundcheck. There is no equivalent in French. Can you explain please?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

If we break it down into the two words 'sound' and 'check' it's quite self explanatory. Basically it means to check the sound. Before the show the sound levels on both stage and out in the audience area are checked to make sure the overall sonic experience is a good one.

Q. Greetings Mr/Mrs/Miss Oracle!

I stumbled across a cover version of "Live Forever - Oasis" by Coldplay on the internet. I would like to know if this cover is available on any album- maybe as a b-side on a single? Thanks!!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

No, there's no official recording of this track on any release.

youhouu sven it's me xD

Congrats! :)

Jonny, time for din-din. :lol:

Buckland is a cool sounding cat's name, more than Berryman

Martin is our fish's name

Martín is a common name in spanish :P

This is what I picture when I think of a cat called Buckland

 

I just can't picture a Berryman cat.

Berrycat would be a nice name

Berrycat would be a nice name

 

I agree :D

I'd use it but I don't like cats :P

Q. Hi Oracle!

Now that 28 finalists for the new 7 wonders of the world have been named I would like to know which places would you vote for. And have you voted during the previous stage?

One more thing...I was wondering how much time did it take to shoot Strawberry Swing because it seemed like a lot of work?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Well, I remember being thrilled when Machu Picchu was chosen as a man-made wonder of the world as I have been to Peru and seen the magical place for myself so feel that I should pick somewhere I have also been from the 28 finalists.

I haven�t voted so far but am very tempted to.

The full list for those who haven't seen it (and can't be bothered looking) is:

 

Amazon

Angel Falls, Venezuela

Bay of Fundy, Canada

Black Forest, Germany

Bu Tinah Shoals, UAE

Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

Dead Sea

El Yunque, Puerto Rico

Galapagos, Ecuador

Grand Canyon

Great Barrier Reef

Halong Bay, Vietnam

Iguazu Falls, Brazil/Argentina

Jeita Grotto, Lebanon

Jeju Island, South Korea

Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Komodo, Indonesia

Maldives

Masurian Lake District, Poland

Matterhorn/Cervino, Switzerland/Italy

Milford Sound

Mud Volcanoes, Azerbaijan

Puerto Princesa Underground River, Philippines

Sundarbans, India/Bangladesh

Table Mountain, South Africa

Uluru, Australia

Vesuvius, Italy

Yushan, Chinese Taipei.

 

Now given I have always found the Grand Canyon a great fascination but have only seen it from an airliner, I can't pick it, plus Colca Canyon in Peru is deeper!

I have only visited 2 from the final list; Cliffs of Moher and Maldives, I have to say that Maldives are my first choice.

They are all impressive so I'm not bothered who wins as they're all worthy so any of the others to make up my 6.

Watch out for news later in the week about the SS video!

Q. Oracle,

At the last two Coldplay shows I've been to Coldplay performed a really cool remix of God Put a Smile Upon Your Face and Talk. Is there anywhere I can find that? (By the way Coldplay put on the best show ever).

 

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

 

They like to rework some tracks for the live shows, the above 2 are an example, but there's no plan to release any of the versions that may appear.

Oooh news about SS vid :D Maybe a behind the scenes :wideeyed:

Yes, sounds great. Can't wait to see how they did it :)

Q. Dear Oracle,

Ok so I really hope you answer this question because it is rather important to me. Ok so I'm getting married in August and I want to have Coldplay's song Yellow played as my husband and my first dance. What do you think? Yes? No? Ah! Please help! Share your wisdom! It is much needed!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I can't imagine how you'd slow dance to Yellow but I'm sure you can make it work. Hopefully you are both deciding together?

Think I've said before that it's your choice and hopefully something you will only have to choose once in your life; so choose wisely. Whatever you do, don't use Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve, it goes on way too long and everyone will get bored!

Watch out for news later in the week about the SS video!

 

 

OH yay!!!!
