Q. Dear Oracle, During the Arras concert, Chris said "Bonsoir biloute". How did he know that it's people Northern France's nickname? Did he inquire into the region? Sorry for my English it is "broken" :-) Why do you never answer to my question and to another questions from France? You aren't interested in French fans dear Oracle? Thank you!
The Oracle replies:
They do their homework! Seriously the band do care about where they play and finding information about that area too so it's not unusual at all.
I LOVE France and do answer questions from all over...

Q. Dear Oracle, The boys are best friends in real life? They're hanging out together?
The Oracle replies:
Yeah totally, they are the best of friends. Obviously when they're on tour they spend a LOT of time together so when they get home they spend time with their family and friends but are often hanging out at the studio and do socialize together too.

Q. Dear Oracle.. I have asked you some random questions before but no answer, but this time is serious I do need you, I've been crying for two hours now because my 4 month Weimaraner got this virus disease and I'm insanely sad, I can't stop thinking about her and I was there holding her paw when the doctor put her to sleep and carried her away please give me some happy words or whatever. I really really need you.
The Oracle replies:
Aw Gabriela how sad for you. It's natural to feel this way but hopefully you will feel some comfort that you were with her at the end so she wasn't alone. I know she was only young but that won't make you feel any better having only had a short 4 months with her. Death is a part of our lives and it's bound to happen. Our pets don't tend to outlive us so accepting that they will die is hard but given she had such a short life it must feel like you have been denied a significantly longer period of time with her. I feel very sorry that you are grieving but you will feel better one day but it's still early days. I know you can't replace her so maybe take time before you bring a new animal family member into your home. If you do get another dog it won't be the exact same but you can give it affection in her memory. Other than that it's all a matter of time I'm afraid. I was trying to think of something that might cheer you up and what I suggest is that right now do something fun and don't feel guilty for it. Go to see a movie, spend time with friends, go to your favourite place, bake a cake, listen to uplifting music or maybe do some exercise as a form of venting your emotion. It's going to be hard but give yourself a moment during your day where you do think of her and your happy memories. It's ok to cry but as I said to someone yesterday, don't sit in your sorrow. I've compiled a short list of words that will hopefully evoke some happy thoughts: dancing, hugs, children, singing, chocolate, laughing, smiling, bicycles, balloons, ice-cream, hide-and-seek, birthdays, candlelight, snow, stars, cookies & milk, jokes, smell of flowers, waterfalls, holidays, photographs, smiles, kisses, music, pancakes, slides, sunrise, sunset. Hope that helped a little, maybe you could add your own words?

Q. Dearest Oracle, Is it humanly possible to love someone so much, and hate that same person all at the same time?
The Oracle replies:
Not everyone would agree but I do believe you can love and hate someone at the same time and that the emotions are driven by different parts of our psyche. How true the love can be is questionable because if you also hate someone, they're obviously not worthy of the love. If you get hurt by someone you love, it sounds pretty plausible to me to have an overlap of both emotions. You often hear people saying "I love you but I don't like you very much" and this also highlights how very different love is. It seems to be an unfathomable force that we have little control over. I'd investigate what you think it is you love about someone and then compare it to what you hate; it may be that you don't actually feel either! If Prince didn't ban everyone from putting his music on the Internet I would have linked you to his song that also answers your question. As I can't, here's one line...
I hate u because I love u
But I can't love
Because I hate U
