Suffocate is a track by UK rock band Feeder re-recorded from their 1997 album "Polythene", and was released as an in-between single to bridge the gap between the then current album, and its follow-up.
The new version of "Suffocate" is a full-band version of the acoustic track from the "Polythene" album, with slightly amended lyrics. It is the more popular of the two versions with the band's fanbase. The song began life in 1994 as part of the band's demo under the name "Give". At that time the band were called "Real".
Frontman Grant Nicholas once said that "Give" was the song that secured the band's record deal.[1]

[edit] Trivia
In the music video after Grant leaves the first tube train and sits on a bench, the sign behind him says "FEEDER" instead of the name of the actual tube station, but above that sign is one saying "Monument" so the tube station unintentionally has two names, and was not changed to "FEEDER" to correspond with the one directly behind Grant.[2]
