Q
Have you heard Will Cookson? Go ahead and google his name, his website pops up first. You will NOT be sorry. His music is quite different from Nick's but the themes of nature, time, life, death, love, etc... and their emotional impact are very much the same. Check him out!!! He is as close to Nick reborn as we will ever get, I'm sure.

For everyone reading this, Will Cookson is quite good. Personally, he sounds like a mix of Michael Hedges and Nick Drake.

The person I most often hear compared to Nick that is currently living is Will Stratton. He actually has a Tumblr and sites Nick as one of his influences.

Maybe he was just too sensitive? Flayed by everything that life threw at him? A pure soul which had underestimated the difficulties of earthly incarnation and which had risen back to heaven almost as quickly as it had come down, after having given the world pearls too beautiful and which it hadn’t wanted…

“To listen to Nick Drake is to step out of this world of pose and noise, and enter a quiet oak-panelled room, dappled with sunlight - a room opening, through French windows, into a lush garden, quiet because we’re in the country, far from the sound of the city. It’s summer, bees and birds are abroad in the shade, and, beyond the nearby trees, a soft tangle of voices and convivial laughter can be felt, along with the dipping of languid oars in the rushy river winding through cool woods and teeming meadows hereabouts.”
