Everyone needs to have a good cry from time to time.
Here are just a few things that might make a person get teary: self doubt, dead dogs, failure. And if you need to have a soundtrack to go with your box of Kleenex, there’s one musician whose songs really stand out as particularly appropriate. His name is Drake.
Drake is great to cry to because he’s relatable. His music sounds like a waterfall; his voice ranges from soft to hard, making him the ideal singer for all your melancholy needs.
Below, in no particular order, are the best Drake songs to cry to, presented for your listening and your ugly-crying pleasure.

Indicative Sample Lyric: If you had my love / And I gave you all my trust / Would you comfort me? / And if somehow you knew / That your love would be untrue / Would you lie to me? (OK, fine; that’s the sample track. But it’s still pretty indicative!)
Listen to it when you: are sure you’ve been lied to
