Harry Hudson Taylor – releases the new single ‘Hiding From Nature’

Hiding From Nature is the kind of song that arrives after something breaks open. Harry wrote it on the other side of a dark night of the soul, and that origin is audible throughout: it is not a song about going through something, but about what you see when you come out the other side.

What he found on the other side was not peace exactly, but clarity. And with it, a recognition he couldn’t unfeel. The ‘nature’ in the title is not forests and rivers. It is the self underneath the persona, the consciousness below the identity you built to survive, which at some point stopped being protection and became a prison. Most of us know that feeling. The song is about what happens when you can’t ignore it anymore.

“I wrote this on the other side of something dark. And when you come

through that, you start seeing how many people are still inside it, still

performing, still defended. The song is an invitation. Or maybe a challenge.”

Built around the mythology of the Green Man, the ancient Celtic figure of death and rebirth whose leaf-woven face appears carved into churches and forests across Ireland and Europe, the track channels that imagery without being consumed by it. The Green Man is not decoration here. He is a way of saying: your true nature is always looking back at you, even when you have buried it under years of performance.

Sonically, the track sits at the intersection of grunge-fuelled intensity and folk-rooted directness, big guitars driving forward before the bridge fractures the momentum and opens into something rawer:

“Whatever makes you wake up and break through / Shackles that hold you down.”

The artwork, a hand-painted portrait by artist Keir Ross, depicts Harry as the Green Man, his face emerging from the leaves. It makes the central tension of the song visible: you can construct a self, but what lies beneath keeps surfacing.

Harry Hudson Taylor is an Irish singer-songwriter and producer. Formerly one half of folk-pop duo Hudson Taylor, he is now stepping out on his own with a sound built on indie rock urgency, folk-rooted storytelling, and instinctive pop melody.

He produces and records everything himself, playing all the instruments from first idea to finished track. That autonomy shapes the work: direct, searching, unguarded. His music follows him wherever he lands, shaped by what he carries rather than where he is.
