Neil Young gifts music to Greenland residents for stress relief

ECONOMY 28.01.2026

Veteran rock legend Neil Young has given Greenland residents free access to his catalogue, saying he hoped the gesture offered stress relief to those unsettled by US President Donald Trump's threats.

Text size:

"This is an offer of peace and love," the dual US‑Canadian musician said on his website.

"I hope my music and music films will ease some of the unwanted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government," Young wrote.

After European pushback, Trump backed down on his threat to take Greenland, a mineral‑rich Danish autonomous territory.

"All the music I have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear," the 80‑year‑old Young said.

Anyone with a cellphone number using Greenland's country code can access the gift, which Young said is renewable "as long as you are in Greenland."

Young has been a long-standing critic of Trump. When Trump was elected to his first term in 2016, Young wrote a song called "Already Great" as a repudiation of Trump's Make America Great Again movement.
