  • "Precious Illusions" is a song written, performed, and produced by Canadian singer Alanis Morissette for her fifth studio album, Under Rug Swept (2002). It released as the album's second and final international single on May 20, 2002. Its lyrics describe a conflict between idealism and realism, and its protagonist refers to her childhood fancies as "precious illusions" that she has distanced herself from with a feeling that reminds her of "parting with an imaginary friend". "Precious Illusions" did not receive as much radio airplay in the United States as "Hands Clean", the first single from Under Rug Swept. It peaked within the top 20 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart but garnered little Top 40 radio play compared to "Hands Clean" and failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100. However, it reached number four in Canada and peaked within the top 10 in Hungary. The music video for the song is presented in split screen, offering a side-by-side comparison of the mythic and the real versions of a romantic relationship. (en)
  • Precious Illusions est une chanson écrite, interprétée et produite par la chanteuse canadienne Alanis Morissette pour son cinquième album studio, Under Rug Swept (2002). Sixième piste de l'album; le titre sort en tant que deuxième et dernier single international le 20 mai 2002. Ses paroles décrivent un conflit entre l'idéalisme et le réalisme, et sa protagoniste qualifie ses fantasmes d'enfance de précieuses illusions dont elle s'est éloignée avec l'impression d'abandonner un ami imaginaire (♫...like parting with an invisible best friend). Precious Illusions ne bénéficie pas d'autant de diffusions radiophoniques aux États-Unis que Hands Clean, le premier single issu d'Under Rug Swept. Le titre culmine dans le top 20 du Billboard Adult Top 40, mais les audiences radiophoniques ne se traduisent pas dans le Top 40 par rapport à Hands Clean et le titre ne parvient pas à figurer dans le Billboard Hot 100 américain. Cependant, il atteint la quatrième position au Canada et culmine au top 10 en Hongrie. Le clip de la chanson est présenté en écran partagé, proposant une comparaison côte à côte une version romantique et une autre prosaïque, mais toutes deux fantasmées, d'une relation amoureuse. (fr)
  • Precious Illusions è una canzone scritta e prodotta da Alanis Morissette, e registrata per il suo sesto album Under Rug Swept del 2002. È stata pubblicata come secondo singolo dell'album. La canzone parla del confronto fra realismo ed idealismo, e la cantante si riferisce ai propri ricordi di infanzia, definendoli "precious illusions" ("preziose illusioni"), prendendone distanza, come a voler dimostrare il passaggio all'età adulta.

  • Precious Illusions — второй сингл Аланис Мориссетт с альбома 2002 года Under Rug Swept. «Precious Illusions» не была такой популярной на радио, как «Hands Clean», первый сингл с Under Rug Swept. Сингл попал в первую двадцатку чарта Billboard Adult Top 40, но получил гораздо меньшее внимание радиостанций, поэтому не попал в чарт Hot 100. Он попал на четвёртое место в Канаде и в десятку в Чили. Режиссёром видеоклипа стал Френсис Лоуренс, который также был режиссёром клипа «Hands Clean». Клип был снят в конце мая 2002 года. Съемки клипа были задокументированы в программе Стоп! Снято на MTV. (ru)
