Here, Oldham actually veers close to stripped down, singer-songwriterly folk. I Gave You's melody is reminiscent of the English traditional song, John Barleycorn. It is the tale of offering everything to a loved one ( "I gave you a child, and you didn't want it") only to be rejected and belittled. This theme, and the paucity of the song, invites comparisons with Leonard Cohen - Sweeney's understated guitar providing a hypnotic instrumental spine,a la Suzanne.

Sweeney's playing is the same on the lengthy B-Side, My Circle. This is quite something - at first its quiet sadness is touching but its unrelenting repetition really does wear out the listener's patience, especially after having heard the title phrase for the twentieth time. And I know that is probably the point. Fine single though, and hopefully one to lead to more appreciation of the excellent Superwolf.
