Q. Why in every album of Coldplay, there's always a "color" song. Yellow, Green Eyes, White Shadows, and finally Violet Hill....what next? What is the different of Life in Technicolor and The Escapist? These songs have the same intro.. (Sorry for my bad english).

The Oracle replies:

So there is. There's no reason for it and it's definitely not a deliberate decision but I guess life is a colourful place! The second part of your question has already been answered so rather than answer again, I will just say Jon Hopkins and hope you can find out from that.

Q. Dear Oracle, I really need to know more about the Lost Video Competition. I have been thinking of ideas and getting things ready to start my project. I checked out the dates when Coldplay will be playing in the UK. But I need to know if the person who wins will get to choose what day they can make it, 'cuz I have exams until mid Dec. and I really don't want to spend time making this video if I won't be able to go anyway.. please answer me! this may be the only chance for me to ever get to see my favourite band of all time play! Thanks!

The Oracle replies:

I don't want to seem pessimistic, see it as realistic, but surely this is something to worry about IF you win? As we say, let's cross that bridge when we come to it...

Q. Hi, uncle O! I Know the answer to that weird question you made! Someday, my friend, someday! The real question is what will you do while your still around? Look at me for example, i`m going to change the world. Wanna help?

The Oracle replies:

That is indeed the answer but to be honest I do believe in living your life to the maximum. I think it's better to live with a sense of adventure, going after what you want, having self-belief, bettering yourself without regret and without missing opportunities. Life is for living and also for the living so we all may as well make the best of it for however long we're here and help others do the same who are less fortunate. Right, that's deep enough for one session!
