#NeilYoung Trashes Amazon, Gives His Complete Musical Catalog to #Greenland for Free

“Amazon is owned by #JeffBezos, a billionaire backer of the president,” Young writes to fans. “My music will never be available on Amazon, as long as it is owned by Bezos”

By Andy Greene, January 26, 2026

“Young’s complete catalog and a vast archive of live concerts, studio outtakes, and concert films is available on the Neil Young Archives in super high definition sound. Prices range from $24.99 to $99.99 a year, but he’s just gifted all of it to the people of Greenland in response to President Donald Trump’s threats against the nation.

" '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,' he 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. This is an offer of peace and love. All the music I made during the last 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free was long as you’re in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example.' "

Get Up Stand Up

"Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

You, preacher man don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
You a duppy and you don't know
What life is really worth
It's not all that glitter is gold
And half the story has never been told
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights
Come on

Get up, stand up, brother
Stand up for your rights, come on
Get up, stand up, sisters
Don't give up the fight, I'm beggin' you to
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight

'Cause you know most people think
A great God will come from the skies
Take away every little thing
And left everybody dry
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours right here on earth
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights
Come on

Get up, stand up
Don't make them push you 'round
Stand up for your rights, come on brothers
Get up, stand up, be brave, now
Don't give up the fight, I say
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Don't let them hold you down
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of this game of technology
Humbly asking Jesus for His mercy
We know and we know and understand
Almighty Jah is a living man
You fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights
Come on

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights, come on brothers
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight
Don't let them push you 'round
I say, get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Come on sisters
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight"

Strength

"Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

Who will light the fire that I need to survive
Who will be the life blood coursing through my veins
Like a river flowing that will never change
I need someone I can depend on

I’m a man of emotion who can’t hide the tears
I’m a man of feeling who can’t hide the pain
I’m alone on the outskirts of town where no one knows my name
I’m at the point in my life where I need affection

Give me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live for

Someone write me a letter, I need to know that I’m still alive
Someone give me a telephone call, I need to hear a human sound
Someone open up a door and let me out of this place
I’ve been caged up for oh so long, I don’t know if I’m living or dying

Give me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live for

I walk alone, across the outskirts of town
I can’t control what I’m going through now
Will you light the fire that I need to survive
Will you donate the life blood coursing through my veins
Will you open up the door and let me out of this place
I’ve been caged up for oh so long, I don’t know if I’m living or dying

Give me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live for"

Idiots Rule

"I got a lie
A fat fuckin' lie
About a law
Idiots obey
They made it easy
Now cheaters have their way
You hi-di-ho's
You're living on your knees
Forget the rule!
Oh - idiots rule!
Forget the rule!
Oh - idiots rule!
Idiot!"

When The Generals Talk

"Up there, up there, up there on the platform
He is speaking to the people
The people are responding
With clapping and a cheering
But the meaning of the message
Not revealed to those assembled
They're taken for a ride
Taken in his stride

"When the Generals talk
You better listen to him
When the Generals talk
You better do what he say
When the Generals talk
You better listen to him
When the Generals talk
You better do what he say"

So, I'm like a Boomer/GenX borderline baby. It just blows my friggin' mind that we're still having to fight the battles that started many years ago. Why don't we realize that we ALL live on #MotherEarth, and we're all dependent on Mother Earth! And if we hurt Her, we hurt ourselves. What is so difficult in understanding this?!! Seems like a no brainer to me... But then again, we're sailing on a #ShipOfFools!

Heads We're Dancing

"You talked me into the game of chance
It was 39 before the music started
When you walked up to me and you said
'Hey, heads, we dance'
Well, I didn't know who you were
Until I saw the morning paper

There was a picture of you
A picture of you 'cross the front page
It looked just like you, just like you in every way
But it couldn't be true, it couldn't be true
You stepped out of a stranger

They say that the devil is a charming man
And just like you, I bet he can dance
And he's coming up behind in his long tailed black coat dance
All tails in the air
But the penny landed with its head dancing

A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor but it couldn't be you
It couldn't be you, it's a picture of Hitler

He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
Do you want to dance?

Well, I couldn't see what was to be
So I just stood there laughing

A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor but it couldn't be you
It couldn't be you, it's a picture of Hitler

He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Heads we're dancing

Do you wanna dance?

Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh

Heads we're dancing

Do you wanna dance?"

I heard this gem on #WMPG today. A new-to-me band, #MoonWalker. Wow!

The Price Of Life Itself (2022)

[Verse 1]
We're raiding drug stores to finally cure the disease
Peel back the skin and see the real thing
Go follow the money, tell me where it leads you
Do you think you’re not part of the same machine?
We're bugging phone lines, and tapping into your dreams
Did you think freedom would be free?
We can't provide security ’cause the price tag would be too steep
And who'd finance the enemy?

[Chorus]
Treat our militia like trigger-happy machines
Fеwer lives saved than casualtiеs
We all poison the water, and drink it up because it tastes so sweet
For some, not all
We still believe in angels, and leaving everyone blind
Sentencer says "eye for an eye"
But he still talks to the money
Taking bail and bribe security
The price of life itself

[Verse 2]
You love to talk but you're finished making sense
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Little man with a big mouth
Train him, give him a big gun
Dosed up to do some power tripping
There ain't no justice, white judge addresses all white jury
Hear no perspective that don't come from white congregations
White legislation proposed by white administrations
Enforced by other-fearing victims of white isolation

[Chorus]
Believe no pictures
We live by prophecies (Ignored by white abominations)
Affirm convictions while we sleep
We walk lambs to the slaughter
To give our sons and daughters what they need
For mine, not yours
We still don't hear no answers
That challenge what we think (Oh, yeah)
Don't need no harsh reality
We can stay above the water
While still lending a hand to those who sink (No way!)
The price of life itself (Not me)

[Interlude]
When I was younger
My momma told me
In this world there are sheep and there are wolves
And you can be whichever one you want to be
'Cause when you look like you there’s a choice
And I chose, woo

[Outro]
But momma didn’t raise no wolf
And I was never really one to fight
You know I never had no friends
But that's life
I thought it always looked like fun
When they gun ’em down on the TV
In the cops I saw a hero
'Cause you know they all looked just like me
Just like me
How's that?
Try white, rich, Christian and unstable
And they ain't gotta take no accountability
They just say that they were scared and under pressure
As if that’s not the only special skill set needed to do their job

"I am an Antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want, but I know how to get it
I wanna destroy passersby

'Cause I wanna be anarchy
No dog's body

Anarchy for the U.K., it's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time, stop at traffic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme..."
