If our responses to Elmo’s tweet are any indication, we’re not doing so hot. As a culture, as a society, we’re pretty down bad. And what do you do when you’re feeling in dire need of a little comfort… run to Cheezburger.com? Yes, absolutely. But right after that, you might be heading to Spotify to crank the tunes that make you feel less alone. We’ve all done it, we’ve all used music to cope. It’s a wonderful tool. We don’t have to bother anyone, we can just have the sweet hand of a musician who knows what we’re going through, shepherding us through our tough spot. It’s what music is for. 

If there’s one musician who understands that wholeheartedly, it’s Drake. Drake makes music perfect for blasting in a time of heartache, as the subject of this story knows all too well. Be glad that you don’t have it quite as bad as him. Pour one out.
