I'll jump on the band wagon for The White Stripes. I like Jack, I like how he keeps everything in context. And Little Acorns is really a song that some people live by.

I'm going to say Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree. Here is a part of Deadwing, from the album Deadwing of 2005.
Like a cancer scare In the dentist's chair Sucking in the air Wire across the stair Kicking down the door At your local store With the world at war Voices through the floor Unexpected news Wearing high heeled shoes Blowing out the fuse Paying all your dues Deadwing lullaby Like a fracture tied It's a worthless lie To the public eye Here is the entire song called Lazarus, also off of Deadwing. As the cheerless towns pass my window I can see a washed out moon through the fog And then a voice inside my head breaks the analogue And says "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" I survived against the will of my twisted folk But in the deafness of my world the silence broke And said "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" "My David don't you worry This cold world is not for you So rest your head upon me I have strength to carry you" (Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you) "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul Come to us Lazarus It's time for you to go" Possibly the coolest songwriter I have ever listened to. Period. I seriously seriously recommend this band and writer to everyone.
