Neil Young has always used his role as a musician to promote causes that he’s deeply concerned about, and today’s political climate has left him with no shortage of issues. He released an album in 2016 called Peace Trail, promoting a message of peace during a particularly divisive climate.
Today, Mr. Young has returned with a new music video for his song “Peace Trail,” painting animated portraits of the current state of America. Young is downtrodden but optimistic, as the images help create the vision of Neil Young’s world.
The video premiered on NPR First Watch this morning, and can be found posted below.
