'Precious' is a song by English electronic band Depeche Mode from their studio album, 'Playing the Angel'.

The song reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and No. 23 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Depeche Mode main songwriter Martin Gore wrote the song while he was going through a divorce.

The track is a message to Gore's children, who were aware of the divorce, and Gore felt guilty that they had to witness the process.

Recognising their 'Fragile' state, Gore expresses his sympathy for them but also mentions that 'Things get broken' and tells them to keep faith in their parents

I thought we'd manage,

But words left unspoken,

Left us so brittle,

There was so little left to give,

Although this is a very personal song for Martin Gore, it was sung by their main vocalist, Dave Gahan, which was standard procedure for the band.
