 ==Overview==
-"'''You Gave Your Love to Me Softly'''" is notably short, at only 1:58.  It is however, regarded by many Weezer fans as a perfect piece of pop rock.  In this song, Rivers Cuomo sings about one night with a girl that "lingers on and on and on." It is quick, up-beat song with a solo that mirrors the vocal melody.

 ===Original Version===
-The original 1995 recording, as featured on the soundtrack to the film ''[[Angus]]'', was produced by Rob Cavallo.  It has a much more direct, dry sound.  The solo is played with only a keyboard, and is shorter, at about 1:51.

 ===B-side version===
 The song was re-recorded during the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions, and retains the rough sound of those sessions.  It is slightly slower, resulting in a longer running time.  The solo is played with a guitar and keys in unison, and with extra guitar fills.
-Although happy with the recording, the song was demoted to B-side status, appearing on retail versions of "[[El Scorcho]]".  Rivers reinforced his feeling that songs for soundtracks and single should not be album tracks, and vice versa.
