"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. 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. The offer is for a year though Young said renewing is possible and applicants need to have a Greenland-based cellphone. This is an offer of Peace and Love, he wrote."
"The president's international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore his actions. If you feel as I do, I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon. A representative for Amazon Music didn't immediately respond for comment. Young's manager also didn't reply to questions. Young has long sparred with streaming platforms, like when he pulled his music from Spotify in protest of podcaster Joe Rogan's episodes on COVID-19 vaccines. Young later relented and his music was added back."
Neil Young is providing free access to his entire music catalog and music films to residents of Greenland for one year, with possible renewal. Applicants must have a Greenland-based cellphone to receive the offer. Young presented the gesture as an attempt to ease unwarranted stress and threats experienced by Greenlanders amid tensions involving the U.S. and NATO, calling it an offer of Peace and Love. The move contrasts with his decision to block his catalog from Amazon Music over owner Jeff Bezos's political support and reflects past disputes with streaming platforms, including temporary Spotify removals and audio-quality objections. Young's hits include "Rockin' in the Free World" and "Heart of Gold."
