First introduction

Don't Let It Break Your Heart (DLIBYH) couldn’t possibly be heading in any more different a direction emotionally (than Up In Flames). It’s almost violently life affirming. I remember texting Phil during the Glastonbury rehearsals when they first played Charlie Brown in its live incarnation. I was amazed at how vast and invigorating it sounded. They’re going to blow the sodding walls out when they kick into this one tomorrow. [2]

The Oracle on Don't Let It Break Your Heart
January 30, 2012 - submitted by Jean, Puerto Rico
Q. Dear Oracle, my question is: Why haven't the boys played U.F.O., Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Up With The Birds live? They are part of the album and I feel as if they've been left out, please answer, back to you now.
The Oracle replies:
They have never played all the songs from an album. I'm pretty sure there was one song from each of the first four albums left out (Parachutes from Parachutes, A Whisper from AROBTTH, Twisted Logic from X&Y and Reign of Love from Viva la Vida).
I guess being part of an album doesn't necessarily mean part of a tour is a given. Some songs just don't work live or don't fit into the setlist.
I think your question could be changed to why haven't the boys played those songs yet. They still may; they've got a lot of dates. U.F.O and Up With The Birds could easily be X stage additions at least. It's too early to say whether they'll make an appearance though.

Q. Is DLIBYH an acronym, or is that the actual song title?
Thanks very much
Tom
The Oracle replies:
How exactly would you be pronouncing that then Tom? It's an acronym just as other titles to songs on the album have appeared: UATW, CB, ETIAW, MM, MTM, HLH and POC.
The most asked question over the past 24 hours has been 'what does DLIBYH mean?'
You know I can't reveal that but there's only been one guess cropping up.
Live
The song was first played live at Rexall Place, Edmonton, Canada on 17 April 2012.
Lyrics
And if I lost the map If I lost it all Or fell into the trap Then she’d call 'When you’re tired of racing And you find you never left the start Come on baby Don’t let it break your heart' Though heavily we bled Still on we crawl Try to catch a cannonball And a slowly burning tide Through my veins is flowing From my shipwreck I heard her call She said 'When you’re tired of aiming your arrows Still you never hit the mark Even in your rains and shadows Still we’re never going to part Come on baby Don’t let it break your heart Oh oh oh oh oh Don’t let it break your heart Oh oh oh oh oh Don’t let it break your heart Don’t let it break your heart'
