August 17, 2010 - submitted by Becca, United Kingdom Q. Dear Oracle :) I have a huge problem with my boyfriend, and I know that you probably get a lot of questions like this...but we have been going out for about 8 months now, and now he's told me he likes someone else. I don't know who she is...and he's being all apologetic and acting funny...I love him to bits and I don't know what to do... Please please please can you help me, I don't know who else I can turn to! Thank you soooo much! :) The Oracle replies: I am so sorry to break this to you but don't waste any time on this person; hold your head up high and walk away with your pride intact. This will not help you right now but in time maybe you will respect the fact that he was honest enough to tell you even though hearing this information has no doubt turned your world upside down. My philosophy is this: once the pain subsides let your rational thinking allow you to realise that you would not want to be with someone who does not want to be with you. That is hopefully what you would tell your friend if she was in the same situation. I think it's always wise to imagine what advice you would give to someone else although it's very much more difficult when it's happening to you in the here and now.

August 17, 2010 - submitted by Edwina, Australia Q. Hey Oracle I am the worst decision maker ever! According to my friends a change my mind a ridiculous amount of times! Therefore can you make my decision for me? I've just started Uni and I'm really keen to go on exchange - however I don't know where to go! I'm stuck between USA (where I have never been) and England (where I have been and LOVED). Should I go with what I know and love or should a take a chance and go to the USA? Please help me make up my mind!! Love from Australia The Oracle replies: Ah Edwina you know I can't make the decision for you. There are so many times in life where we settle within our comfort zone and familiarity certainly can be reassuring but maybe you should consider the opportunities available to you in each place. You haven't been specific with the exact location though so I can't even make some interesting comments. That would certainly influence my choice if I was picking. England is a very small country within the UK versus the vastness of the US. You could make an informed decision based on so many factors - weather, culture, financial reasons etc. I think you need to draw up a list of what you'd like to experience while you are at Uni and do plenty of research into the available colleges, their areas as well as their respective countries. There should be a clear winner in your heart or gut. You can always visit the country you don't choose in the future maybe as part of a gap year, vacation or perhaps another opportunity may arise.

August 12, 2010 - submitted by Catalina, Argentina Q. Sometime ago I saw the last chapter of season 6 of the TV show Grey's Anatomy, and in one scene I recognized Chris Martin's voice, am I right? In the last chapter there's a Coldplay song? If I am right, dear Oracle, could you tell me which song is it? Tks a lot! XOXO The Oracle replies: The last episode of Season 6 of Grey's Anatomy was called Death and All His Friends and there are three songs featured, one of which was [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymJvCqECR44]In My Veins[/ame] by Andrew Belle which I assume is the one you thought could have been Coldplay but isn't. FYI the other two tracks in that episode were Mariah McManus - Unarmed and Landon Pigg - The Way It Ends.

August 12, 2010 - submitted by Flo, Germany Q. Hey, my girlfriend is waiting for me to propose... but I am afraid of being married. What should I do? Please help me Oracle... The Oracle replies: Do nothing! Well, not nothing but do not propose. No-one should EVER feel pressurized into getting married no matter how long you have been with someone and no matter what age. You do not owe it to the other person. If you can, maybe talk to your girlfriend and gently explain your reasons for not rushing into this HUGE decision or ask her why her great need and urgency. I mean, if things are going well, why change it? And if things aren't going that great a wedding will not fix it. It's tricky as I know people who have delivered ultimatums "marry me or it's over" but that confuses me. If you love someone, you're with them and if someone feels the need for greater commitment I'm not entirely sure that their reasons are often insecurity rather than love. Call me cynical if you like but I don't understand why there's a need to have a ceremony unless both people want it? Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of marriage but only if it's a mutual decision. Old fashioned as I am I think I'd get married if I was bringing new life into the world but again, it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

August 9, 2010 - submitted by Teddy, United States of America Q. O Oracle, I was wondering who did the cover Parachutes and how they got the effect of the lit spinning globe and such. I was really stunned by the artwork and that was ultimately what compelled to buy the record, which in turn created my lifelong love of Coldplay. Thanks! The Oracle replies: It was actually a lamp so the light was already inside the globe. The shutter speed of the camera is key to the actual effect.

August 9, 2010 - submitted by Bekkane, United States of America Q. Hello Oracle. I'm sixteen and I'm trying to grow up and become more mature. But I have whiney friends and giggly sisters and I'm a sophomore. I'm trying to take responsibility and re invent myself into a smarter, more mature person who can handle my own business (thank you very much) but I don't want to lose my sense of humor or not be able to laugh. Any ideas? Thank you Oracle. I really, really do love Coldplay. The Oracle replies: I say chill out and enjoy being sixteen. You'll have plenty of situations come up in the future that will require a grown-up seriousness and you may yearn for this time you were 16! You can be responsible of course but you know what, just let maturity come to you, don't try and make it happen any sooner. By the way, getting old does not mean you lose your sense of humour. It's all about suitable behaviour so obviously laughing at an inappropriate time isn't advisable but there's no rule saying you can't have fun past a certain age.

August 5, 2010 - submitted by Ethan, United States of America Q. Greetings Oracle, This message is directed at Phil or Dave, a response from either or both would be equally desirable. I have a question regarding the abysmally awful state of documentaries about Coldplay. I've seen nearly every one of them, as far as those that are available here in the U.S., and not a single one of them is of any quality or credibility to reflect that of the band. Please advise if possible. Thank you, and best wishes. Ethan The Oracle replies: You are entitled to your opinion of course and whilst you'd like a response from Phil or Dave, you're stuck with me. After all it's my name at the top of the page ;) So in reply I direct you to the best [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PZardXOYIQ]documentary[/ame] by far (in my honest opinion) and hope this appeases you Ethan.

August 5, 2010 - submitted by Yelva, United States of America Q. I just heard the bit of Chris singing Parachutes during the Guadalajara show. Was he getting a little choked up by emotion? Thanks! The Oracle replies: No but I think most of the audience were! That was something that took everyone by surprise as none of us had heard that song live for quite some time.
