Drop (liquid)
A drop or droplet is a small column of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces. A drop may form when liquid accumulates at the lower end of a tube or other surface boundary, producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop. Drops may also be formed by the condensation of a vapor or by atomization of a larger mass of liquid.
Surface tension
Liquid forms drops because the liquid exhibits surface tension.
A simple way to form a drop is to allow liquid to flow slowly from the lower end of a vertical tube of small diameter. The surface tension of the liquid causes the liquid to hang from the tube, forming a pendant. When the drop exceeds a certain size it is no longer stable and detaches itself. The falling liquid is also a drop held together by surface tension.
Pendant drop test
In the pendant drop test, a drop of liquid is suspended from the end of a tube by surface tension. The force due to surface tension is proportional to the length of the boundary between the liquid and the tube, with the proportionality constant usually denoted 
. Since the length of this boundary is the circumference of the tube, the force due to surface tension is given by

Raindrops (Dee Clark song)
"Raindrops" is a 1961 song by the American R&B singer Dee Clark. Released in April of that same year, this ballad. about a man who convinces himself that the tears he is crying since his lover's departure are raindrops since "a man ain't supposed to cry," peaked at position 2 on the Hot 100 and at position 3 on the R&B chart. Billboard ranked it as the ninth most popular song of the year for 1961.
Clark was reportedly inspired to write the song after a late night drive through a heavy rainstorm. Accordingly, the opening and closing of the song both feature heavy rain and thunder sound effects, with the closing augmented by Clark's powerful, swooping falsetto. musicians on the record included Al Duncan on drums, Quinn Wilson on bass, Earl Skarritt and Phil Upchurch on guitar--Skarritt on electric and Upchurch on acoustic. The song was recorded at Universal Recording Studios in Chicago in a 3 hour session.
In 1966, Jan & Dean covered the song on their album, Save For A Rainy Day. Other artists to record the song included Tony Orlando and Dawn, David Cassidy, and Narvel Felts (a Top 30 country hit in 1974).

Raindrops
by: Mr. Meebledoes the rain define me?
emotions dripping
i’m slipping and falling
my senses are calling
but not enough sense to come in out of the rain
there’s something inside me that says to stop
stand still, just feel
let them find you and remind you
there’s a point to every drop
raindrops keep falling on my head
but that doesn’t mean
my eyes will soon be turning red
soon be turning red no
raindrops are falling on my head
they keep falling
but I am free
nothing’s worrying me
does the rain remind me
of something i’m missing
it’s some sinking feeling
the symptoms of drowning
are swallowing several unbearable things
just flood me with something until i stop
sucking down this drought
let them fill me, let them kill me
there’s a point to every drop
i am falling
falling on my head
when it rains it pours they say
i keep my doors closed
so what i hold inside is not exposed
to whoever’s outside of my window
feeling insecure and judging myself more
for this long suffering that i’ve endured
through it all
the man in the mirror has become more mature
as these puddles start to fill
the rain becomes my comfort
i learn how to swim
and not let life take me under
i compose to the lightning and the thunder
raindrops wash away my tears
so i stand right under
i’m the seed that mom and pops planted
no wonder it rains
seeds need water to grow
and to be met by the sunshine
peekin’ through my window
the rain i speak of is a state of mind
that falls in the form of trials and tribulations
if you are not tuned in to happiness
