Q. Hi Oracle, this is my third questions :) although none of it has been answered hohoho... do Coldplay have their own choreographer? and do you think Mercury Rev vocalist stole Chris' style a bit? ;)
The Oracle replies:
The band doesn't have a choreographer no. During the filming of the Speed of Sound video, director Mark Romanek did encourage Guy to move more but they are not told how to move around. During the shows they decide who goes where and when. Mercury Rev have been around for a lot longer than Coldplay so Jonathan Donahue has his own style in my humble opinion.

Q. I just heard yesterday a great Christian song. I called the radio station and they told me that that was an Coldplay "spanish" song. Where I can find it if it is true?
The Oracle replies:
There aren't really any "Christian" songs but due to the fact Viva la Vida has a Spanish title and has religious references that could lead the listener to believe it is a Christian song.

Q. Dear Oracle, A friend of mine sent me a song with the title "Swallowed in the Sea" so I assumed it was it, but when I came to hear it, it wasn't Swallowed in the Sea at all, my friend had clearly made a mistake. I really loved this "mysterious song" and I would love to know the title and what album it's on. The lyrics go like this:
"Well I had a girl, she was the best around,
I was in love, now I'm just hanging out.
Burning in the sun, losing my mind,
Hearts break in the summer time..."
Please I'd love to know
The Oracle replies:
This has been doing the rounds for years wrongly credited as a Coldplay track. It is in fact Burning in the Sun by Blue Merle and not in fact by Coldplay at all.
