Q. Dear, my lovely Oracle.

I read that it took a month for Chris Martin to learn how to sang backward for The Scientist video.
So here's my question. What does the "backward" means?
Well, my sister and I has been argue about these for a few days and its start to annoying me.
She said that Chris only need to read the syllable backward when I said he need to read the lyric backward for every single letter.
Example: no-bo-dy = dy-bo-no (her opinion)
n-o-b-o-d-y = y-d-o-b-o-n (mine)
Which one of us is right and please give the explanation also cos we both really need to know before we start to kill each other because of this.

Huge thanks and love for you.
Salam

Q. Respected Oracle,

During the Twisted Logic tour, at the conclusion of "The Scientist", one could hear an added part that was, in fact, a recording of "The Scientist" played backwards. If you take this recording, and play it backwards, it sounds exactly like "The Scientist" from the album. Can you explain how Coldplay pulled this off?

Q. Hullo, kind Oracle!
I have recently discovered that Coldplay's beautiful video 'Yellow' was shot with Chris alone because Will's mother's funeral was scheduled on the same day of the shooting. But as for one other beautiful Coldplay video, "The Scientist", I am quite unsure as to why Chris is alone in it. What was the reason?
By the way, with or without fellow band members, these videos are extremely stunning.
Thank you, all knowing Oracle.
