Q. Hi Oracle! Well I was reading the questions the other day & someone wrote something about Guy's tweets; I didn't know what is his real twitter account (if he really has one), can you tell me? :D

The Oracle replies:

No he doesn't have one of his own. Guy's tweets appeared on the official Coldplay Twitter.

Q. Hello from Azerbaijan! Will the fifth studio album feature concert picks, because I think Coldplay is one of the best live performers, I'd kinda like to have some of their live songs.

The Oracle replies:

Hello Azerbaijan! The band have never included live tracks on any studio album.

The only official live tracks available are on certain b-sides (check out our Recordings section), the Live 2003 CD and the free LeftRightLeftRightLeft CD that was given away during the latest tour.

Q. A girl dedicated the song Sparks to me. I was wondering as to whether you could take time out Oracle and help me out. What did she mean? And is there any hope in the song at all? Thanks Ryan.

The Oracle replies:

Well without getting all soft and sentimental on you Ryan I happen to think Sparks is a very romantic song. If someone dedicated it to me I'd be inclined to thinking they had fairly strong feelings for me. That said, I do know a girlfriend who said the song reminded her of her female friend because of the line "I'll always look out for you". I do think there's hope in the song especially from the viewpoint of the protagonist. Therefore I'd say there could be for you and this girl...
