Q. Hey-lo Oracle person,
If I cover a Coldplay song and it is slightly successful, would I have to pay royalties on said song? How would I go about that? Or does Coldplay not even care?

Q. Hallo Oracle man/woman/thing,

How are you? (rhetorical!)

You see, I have a slight fascination with your album covers, and so I was wondering about a couple of things...

- Where was the picture of the band on the back cover of Parachutes taken?

- What is the meaning of the code/symbols used for all the X&Y album/single covers, and is it true (as I hear) that on the X&Y album cover there is a (deliberate?) mistake?

Q. Dear Oracle. I recently bought the Blue room EP and I was wondering : "to who belongs the hand on the cover ?" Chris? Will? Guy? Jonny?
Thanks

Q. Who came up with the album cover of Coldplays 2nd album, A Rush of Blood to the Head? It's amazing.
