1) The Method - a genre-defying band from Cardiff:
Mariacha horns, Middle Earth Club’s avant lysergic delirium, the three-button suited, angry cool of The Specials, wahed guitars and synth bubbles lifted from ’70s Blaxploitation plus drum beats fit for the dancefloor… ladies and gentlemen may I introduce you to The Method.
Vocalist Richie Hayes sings it like he means it, equal parts soul man, Northwest garage band shouter and cocky indie star. All who have seen them play live swear by ’em. For those who haven’t been lucky enough to feel their disease See Monkey Do Monkey release a double-headed primer for the band’s forthcoming debut long player.

2) The Method, a stuttering, confused collection of stupid, talentless geniuses has had a career notable for its massive, crashing failures. Destroyed record companies, destroyed studios, nearly burned down tower blocks, torn banjos, smashed ukuleles, furious publicity witches and some of the worst gigs ever seen in the UK this was always a band to be relied upon for gross indecency and the occasional bit of gross vandalism.
3) A Washington DC band, The Method combines catchy, danceable tunes with progressive improvisation. Widespread appeal for The Method’s original music has earned the band a significant following throughout the greater DC area. The Method is poised to break into the wider jamband circuit.
4) The Methods also have their own page on last.fm, so why the auto-correction changes this name to 'The Method' only the last.fm folk know!!
Strangers
The Method Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can this be
Stranger than Martian
All alien to me
Stranger than Martian
How can this be
This love affair to me
You see, is Stranger than martian
Between Jupitar and Mars
Where tiny people roam
And drive in flying cars
There they 'll understand you
Much better than me
Your subtle language
Is their expertise
Your stranger than martian
Stranger than martian
There they'll decipher
And articulate your words
They won't depend on
Your feelings to be heard
They'll go through
And render a new dialect
And send me coded messages
To help me perfect
Your stranger than martian
Your stranger than martian
Your stranger than martian
This love is stranger than martian
Stranger than martian
To me, your words, you see
Are stranger than martian
Your stranger than martian
Stranger than martian
The Method's song "Strangers" appears to be a love song with an interstellar twist. The lyrics suggest that the person being sung about, the love interest, is somehow alien or foreign, even more so than a creature from Mars. Their language and communication style is so different that the singer cannot fully understand it, and they suggest that others from another planet would be able to communicate with them much more effectively. The song paints a picture of a love affair that is otherworldly and mysterious, one that is baffling to the singer and requires translation or interpretation.
The metaphorical use of the term "stranger" is quite powerful in this song. It suggests a certain level of confusion and disconnection between the singer and their love interest. The fact that the loved one's ways are compared to a Martian underscores this sense of distance and inaccessibility. The reference to the "subtle language" also plays into this idea of difficulty in understanding one another. Furthermore, the lyrics imply that there is an element of romance in this confusion; even though the singer admits to not fully comprehending their love interest, they still find them alluring and captivating.
In conclusion, "Strangers" by The Method explores the complexities of love and the difficulties that arise when two people cannot fully connect with one another. By using vivid and imaginative metaphors, the songwriters have painted a picture of a love affair that is both alien and fascinating, one that requires a considerable amount of effort and translation to fully grasp.

The real name called the "Socratic Method," has existed for you hundreds of years and isn't widely known allowing people to falsely claim to have created something new.
7Schläfer
but it only works if the other person is interested in a conversation
Bjoviii
@7Schläfer I think that goes for most conversation tactics
Uzair
@Bjoviii yuh can't force someone to have a conversation no matter how good your social skills are
JustASuscriber
@7Schläfer The God of Conversation and Social Skills comes to you.
"I want to have a conversation"
You tell him, "No"
He says, "We have to fix that. Let's not turn this r*** in a m****r."
