"'Suffocate'" is a track by the UK rock band Feeder, re-recorded from their 1997 album 'Polythene'. It was released as an in-between single to bridge the gap between 'Polythene' and its follow-up, 'Yesterday Went Too Soon'. Feeder later repeated this in-between single process building up to a following album, with "Just a Day" in 2001 and "Shatter" / "Tender" in 2005. The single reached the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 37.
The version of "Suffocate" released as a single is a full-band version of the acoustic track from the 'Polythene' album, with slightly amended lyrics. The song began in 1994 as part of the band's demo under the name "Give". At that time, the band was called Real. At the time of its single release, Grant Nicholas said that he wanted to revisit the song.
Frontman Grant also once said that "Give" was the song that secured the band's record deal, which in turn was one of the reasons for its inclusion on 'The Singles' album.[http://www.myspace.com/feederweb MySpace.com: Grant Nicholas on Feeder - The Singles, track by track]
