About This Track

“Precious” is Depeche Mode’s forty-first single, and the first single from the album Playing the Angel. It was released on October 2005. The single reached #4 in the UK, #71 on the Hot 100, and #23 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Although the meaning of almost all of Depeche Mode’s songs are not revealed (because Martin Gore prefers people to find their own meanings for each song) he made an exception with “Precious,” revealing that the song is written about his children and what they must have been going through when he was getting a divorce from their mother.

    it´s very strange. DM was decided by the journalists to be eralier dead as they reported news about them. That was in 1981-1982.....now it´s 2012.....they all had been wrong....thats life.

    Still kicking ass, and maybe even more so, after many years of spreading cool.
