Q. Dear Oracle! I attended Coldplay’s concert in Strasbourg, and after The Hardest Part I realized that Chris was beginning to play Postcards From Far Away! Is this the whole song, or was it just an excerpt taken from the original song? Second question: what is the exact email address of Coldplay?
The Oracle replies:
The song is very short, clocking in at under a minute. It precedes Glass Of Water but is still a song in its own right, brief as it is. The email address that mail should be directed to is [email protected].

Q. My 8 year old son looked at me one day and said “the shadow of a flower made by the moon is sad only because the sun will never see it”. After a bizarre moment of silence, I confirmed his statement and wondered to myself - should I be worried or proud?
The Oracle replies:
What an amazing poet he is already! As strange as that may have sounded, keep an eye on his talent and be there ready to nurture it.

Q. My sister is pregnant with triplet girls and wants me to name one of them. Do you have any suggestions, O Great Oracle?
The Oracle replies:
Minerva is the Roman name of the Greek goddess Athena. She is so cool that either of those names would be too.

Q. Dear Oracle, aren’t you afraid that your advice on personal questions might turn bad?
The Oracle replies:
Not really because although we are all unique individuals, we can experience many of the same situations and emotions. We’re all human after all and therefore can empathize and relate to a lot of shared circumstances. My main focus is the issue at hand, but we must remember that advice can be offered but it doesn’t have to be taken. So hopefully if anyone thought my suggestions were rubbish they’d use their own judgement and thus feel empowered!

Q. Hi great Oracle, I have a big question for you, I saw and heard a video where Coldplay sing Clocks in a live concert but the questions is Chris sing the last part “Home, home Where I wanted to go” and repeat this part more or less 8 or 9 times. Do you know what live concert is that?
The Oracle replies:
That refrain was often added to the song on tour (2002) so it could be any of them. Maybe try searching for Glastonbury 2002 as a start.

Q. Dear Oracle, can you tell me when and where the video for Viva La Vida 2 was filmed? It looks like Holland, and seeing Anton Corbijn filmed it, it probably is Holland. If so, too bad I missed them.
The Oracle replies:
It was shot in the Netherlands by, as you say, Anton Corbijn which is also why is bears more than a passing resemblance to another of his previous videos for Depeche Mode; Enjoy The Silence.

Q. Why are bingo wings called bingo wings if they’ve got nothing to do with bingo?
The Oracle replies:
Apparently it has everything to do with bingo! It’s a derogatory term that comes from a stereotype that many ladies who play bingo have excess flab under their arms. It’s horrible isn’t it?
