"I hope my music and music films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government, Young wrote in a statement on his website, Neil Young Archives, which offers comprehensive access to the 80-year-old songwriter's recorded and live catalogues and other output. It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, in its highest quality. This is an offer of Peace and Love."
"In October, Young announced he would be removing his music from the corporation's streaming platform, Amazon Music (his CDs and vinyl records remain available to buy). Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president, Young wrote this week. The president's international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore his actions."
Neil Young donated a year's access to his music and documentary archive for the people of Greenland. Access can be renewed for free while residents remain in Greenland. The offering covers recorded and live catalogues and films spanning decades and is presented as an offer of peace and love intended to ease stress related to an unpopular and temporary government. The move followed a tense US dispute over Greenland and President Trump's later walkback of claims and tariff threats. Young also protested Amazon due to Jeff Bezos's support for Trump, removed music from Amazon Music, and urged avoiding Amazon.
