  • Nathaniel, I am sorry that no one saw anything until it was to late... May God grant you the peace you couldn't find on earth

  • Who put the onions beside my computer?

  • Did this really happen to her?

  • Martina played in Des Moines, Iowa last night. A spectacular show by a beautiful, classy lady. I was honored to witness it.

  • @riehm1129 I saw her in concert SHE is amazing!

  • beautiful song beautiful woman beautiful country im a man and this makes me cry everytime i hear it.love your woman and honor your country.

  • Every July 4th, i never stop listening to this song. I know thats not the real reason behinde these lyrics, but it just seems right. This video always makes me cry :(

  • This song remindes me of my birth father. I'm glad he got taken away before it ended the same way the song does. :'(

  • I could really relate to this song when I was 9-12.

  • I know all too well but I was saying, she knows what she's singing about, the words speak for themselves. IMO the video could have been better than this. It could have shown more than one outcome. That's what i meant.

  • every time i watch one of your videos it makes me cry because it is so sad

  • so sad

  • this song has a deeper meaning than I think even Martina can imagine.

  • @nerdalicious04 Not possible seeing as it's her song. She knows exactly what she's singing/saying. The video on the other hand is crap. It doesn't match the "meaning".

  • @Big8535 No its not some people knows how it fills to have this happen not just like this but knowing 1 of ur parents hits or beats the other

  • Why do you say that Big8535? It seems to match pretty well to me.

  • @nerdalicious04 Yeah it does a lot more than some people can even imagane

  • >:[

  • I remember when this came out.It was not very long after I'd taken a big walk from a potential train wreck of a relationship ( I knew it going in,but,thought somehow,he might be "different" with me,LOL,the typical mindset on the way to disaster.) Remember playing this loud on the radio,singing it,and thinking how glad I was that it was INDEPENDENCE DAY for me.Wised up,for once.

  • <3 Martina

  • I can't believe that Sean Hannity uses this song. What an asshole.

  • @ProLifeAsshole420 McBride has performed this song to sold out arenas when Hannity goes on tour. It's a great song, and helped make it so popular. Just sayin...

  • what the hells wrong with those clowns

  • It is insane to me that this song gets played at July 4th celebrations. I can get misinterpreting songs that are vague, or even ones that are about negative topics, but are sung ironically upbeat (since the chorus will always be the most memorable part), but like, there was VIDEO for this one that spelled it out quite unambiguously (besides which, even the chorus references it; people literally must hear nothing but 'Let freedom ring...Independence Day').

  • This song will forever be close to me. Remembering my childhood in Caldwell Kansas. That town will run people outa town who are left behind from situations just as this song says. xoxo

  • Haha! 1:42 ! ...stalker!! hahahahaha!!

  • I love this song and video its tells it like it is let the weak be strong let the right be wrong roll the stone away let the guilty pay its indepeandaance day its sad soemtimes it has to come down to this to get away from your abussers talk about your revolution its independance day let freedom ring let the white dove sin let the whole world know today is the day or reckoning all those womena nd child abussers will burn in hell on top of it takecare all godbless

  • RIP to 2 little boys i knew,charlie and Braden,your with ur mom now,and ur dads in hell,

  • @jcchasezmusiclover :-( Sad

  • @Big8535 its been rough,

  • @jcchasezmusiclover Know who you mean.Too bad mom couldn't have arrived at her own independence day and gotten away with the boys and left lover boy outside freezing in the trunk.

  • @jcchasezmusiclover I hope their dad is burnin', that was one sad day. But nobody can take Charlie and Braden away from their mom anymore.

  • @Disturbedfan4ever1 amen to that,

  • @jcchasezmusiclover I have no idea what happened, but believe me, I know what it's like for a kid to go through hell. I deeply apologize for your loss.

  • @Multi80sguy thanks it means alot,;) he killed himself,and killed his 2 boys in the process,he blew the house up,that they were in

  • I don't know... I think this video could have depicted things a bit more clearly, and positively. The little girl is now homeless... and (I can only guess) an orphan? She had to pay the ultimate price for her abusive father? Wow. Sounds like a selfish mother to me.

  • @Damaris1972 are u nuts,she killed the man who beat the shit out her her,it was self defense,for her and her daughter,thats not being a selfish mother,

  • @Damaris1972 that's not being selfish! she had no choice. she could either kill herself, or get the shit beaten out of her by her husband! she did it for herself and her daughter.

  • @Damaris1972 The mother is only selfish if she didn't try to let people know and killed him. If a woman is trying to tell people and send signals and they don't beleive or choose to be blind to it, they are all guilty. The guilt of standing by and not doing anything will eat them alive. The mother did what she had to if selfdefense. If it had continued, the daughter would have ended up in the same kind of life when she grew up. Men are good at fronting and women are good at hiding.

  • this song was super sad, but it is amazing

  • Very sad at 2:25

    ~ Theaddiction1013556 ~

  • just go to 0:37 to save u time to just start the song

    ~ Theaddiction1013556 ~

  • Love this one too (like Concrete Angel) and hard to get through without tearing up... Thanks for posting! <3

  • I love this video It's my favorite song ever, thanks Martina for really great songs!!!

  • all of her songs are so real. If her songs sad I feel like crying my eyes out, and if her song is upbeat then i want to leap around like an idiot. i wish all artists were like her!:D

  • Back off! Newt plays this song at all of his rallies!

  • OMG Another political ad from Mitt and Newt! Screw these clowns and get off my youtube. RonPaul 2012!

  • This video makes me tear up when it shows the little girl running towards the house and when it shows her in the cop car crying!

  • way to coolllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllll. thank-youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  • Independence Day, Concrete Angel, and God's Will, all in a row. :'[

    Time for This One's For The Girls.<3

  • is there any evidence that she might have been abused in her child hood? she seems to have alot that could relate to abuse. and just saying abuse inst always physical and its not only women that get abused. it is just as common for men to be abused but most men that get abused are mentally/emotional abused.

  • Ok I'm just throwing this out there, but both me and mom think that any man or woman, that has been convicted of domstic violents should have to redigster, like a sex offender dose. So that way it won't happen to another poor soul, I want you to tell me what you think, beside I have bad spelling

  • @moonstone101987 i think soo

  • @surferchick90249 Great maybe if we can get enought people to join us we can get this law passed it will be slow going and hard because we will be in diffrent states, but I know we can do it, We can change the future. We do it for all those people who had to make shrits for those, who died because they could not get help or were too afirad, It time that these people stand up and be held to there actions.

  • @moonstone101987 I like to pass laws on the state level not the federal level. I think everyone in all the states should fight for laws to protect battered woman. This song is sad but shows how people can become desperate and do crazy things. I would like to see more woman shoot these men.

  • Is this the best song ever recorded or what?--MARTINA and LAUREN ALAINA rock

  • :( its a really sad song when you look at the lyrics, but she makes it sound happy when she sings it.

  • @DeadlyVelvetRoses It's sad yes but sometimes when your backs up aginst the wall, this seem like the only way out. I hope that someday it won't be this way, but until than, keep your eyes and ears open. If you hear see it report it, even if your not sure.

  • @moonstone101987 Alrighty :)

  • My mom.

  • guys, don't hit your girl. common sense. sad it happens at all.

  • abusive men watch out this may happen to you. change your ways.

  • @Izzycuddles09

    It's not just women that get abused. There are cases of abusive wives/girlfriends. The men feel just as scared, hurt, and insecure as the women do in these kinds of relationships.

  • @Keyadori I agree men get abused too.

  • @Keyadori The vast majority of abuse is perpetrated by men, though.

  • when i was a baby my mom was in a abusive relationship: she try so hard to keep me and my sister safe .this song brings me into tears it brings me back to my childhood. 1992 is the year i wish i can change back. i am so proud that my mom left my birth father. he was a jerk for what he did to my mom if she didnt leave him i wont have a stepdad today who loves us and keep us safe and i am proud that my mom is safe now and in love for the Frist time.i love my stepdad because he is like a dad to me

  • We're Playing This At A Gay Pride Parded( Not Sure How To Spell That)

  • @xXlylalovedeathXx *Parade?

  • @AadriaKurami Yupp Thats Wht I Ment

  • I know it is all her husband's falt.

  • It's sad how rare it is to find music that reaches out to others. If only we had more people like Martina Mcbride, we wouldn't have a world like this.

  • thumbs up for Randy Travis playing the police officer

  • Captain William Nettles (Revolutionary War 1776-1783)...Kershaw Regiment Commander/Pee Dee Regiment. Commanding Officer: General Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox). The movie "The Patriot" depicts his Regiment!

    My grandparents lived this song!...Randy Nettles (Charleston, S.C.)

  • I love martina mcbride I wish I could sing the song with her

  • Martina you are amazing!!! I am so grateful to have grown up in the time of your music!! I've seen what violence does to family by doing charitable work at my mom's place of employment I can't imagine what it would be like to be in these ppl's shoes. God Martina your a gift to country music. I just wonder one thing how did you keep from crying in some of your music videos?

  • How lovely, Martina! As a victim of domestic violence, I can only say that I truly love this video!

  • This song is so powerful

  • this video is just to sad! abusers your day will come juuuust you wait!!!!!

  • Martina McBride writes the most touching songs Ever! :D <3

    Thumbs up if you agree. ;]

  • @bestgirl919 Martina didn't right this Gretchen Peters she wrote the song. The song was banned by many radio stations because of the content of the song. I remember watching her do this son live down here at our Rodeo event in South Florida she rocked it.

  • @bestgirl919 Gretchen Peters wrote this song, not Martina.

  • @bestgirl919 She actually didn't write this but she does sing well.

  • @bestgirl919 omg, thats what i was saying.. finally someone who openly agrees!! lol. i loooove martina <3

  • @bestgirl919 Too bad Martina McBride didn't write this song--- It was written by Gretchen Peters.

  • i hope this isnt a true story

  • i love this song:)

  • To abusers: Remember the day will come.

  • the sad part that happend to my mom when i was a baby i try not to think about it. but it stays with you forever even know you try to forget it...man should Never do that to their wifes if you loved them you shouldnt beat them up:(

    i am proud that my mom Left my birth father if she didnt i wont be here today and have a new dad that loves my mom now and she is safe with my stepdad<3

  • this is soooo sad,,, :(

  • this video made me cry

  • Comment removed

  • I have always loved this song and always will. It is an absolute shame that people treat each other this way but they do. It's a wonderful by an even more wonderful singer.

  • there are so many abused people out there. if there was a couple walking down thr street and the woman was crying, i bet 99% of people would ignore it. dont. she cant stand up to the abuse shes getting, 1% would try to talk to them until they see proof and then call either the cops or the national hotline for abuse. like this if your on of the 1%

  • @CamoCountryGirl4 I DO!!!!!!!!

  • @TheManFromAcme Thank God for men like you!

  • she should have just made the sandwhich

  • im 12 and the last man who put his hands on my mother was 42 and he got punched in the face so those of you if you see someone crying dont laugh or tease ask whats wrong and i never cry in public so i stood up for wats right im 12 so all of you who know of abuse stand up a 12 year old will but will you?

  • TheManFromAcme you got that right if a man abuses his wife or any girl he should get tazed repeatedly

  • this reminds me of me and my mom when i was kid :')

  • I love her songs,just sometimes they make me want to cry cause how sad they are

  • thats not really nice to say that about martina mcbride shes not a hillbilly whore and a tramp

  • Comment removed

  • Love this song! Why must people abuse other people? We are all equal and people. Everyone is equal. The 27 people that disliked this song either a, pressed the wrong button, b, thought the video was too sad or c, support cipher abuse.

  • well i got say i was beat for long time and i raise 2 girls out that hell and am strong women from that hell and i have me good man now so  see it prove every man is not the same

  • I get a chill up my spine everytime Martina hits those notes in the chours! What a beautiful voice.

  • My best friend just found out her dad abused her, her mom, and her brother and sister. 12 years later she contacted him and he lied and told her they had a shitty case worker and he had nothing to do with it. If he ever comes around her i'll have something to say about it

  • What a great song

  • Amazing Grace

    

  • What's the name of the song in the intro?

  • @OSKbanana Song at the beginning is "Amazing Grace"

  • @OSKbanana Amazing Grace it's a church hymn

  • i love this song it reminds me of when i was little and my dad hit mom every day it sucks to have bad memory's of my dad

  • independence day is a sad song

  • I wrote a story based off of this song and a dream I had

  • its sad what men will do to us women:(

  • ive always love her blue eyes... she's freaking beautiful thumbs up if u agree.

  • Thumbs up if you think Sean Hannity is everything that is WRONG with this country. and the idiots who follow him are blind sheep.

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if the Shawn Hannity show brought you here...

  • all of her songs have so much meaning and inspiration!

  • I'de never stay in an abusive relationship with my child, pride or no pride, your child should come first not matter what! :'( That was selfish for her to do. This song always makes me cry!

  • @Iloverandomness19 Not bein' mean but she might of been forced to....he might hav threatend 2 kil her or her child...1ce i saw a movie (based on a true story)and the man attempted to kill her for leaving him and taking their child!

  • @Iloverandomness19 I was in an abusive relationship from the time I was 14 until I was almost 16. It's easier to say I'm leaving than to do it. You are afraid they will kill you if you leave or try to get help. They make you believe that you are worthless and can do no better than them. It's not easy. But PRAISE GOD I GOT OUT!!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!! I LOVE YOU LORD!!!!!

  • This song has a lot of meaning in it

  • the only tragedy worse that what happened in this song is that the Baby music video has over 675 million views and this doesnt even have 700,000 :( this deserves way more views!

  • Gretchen Peters.... What a story you wrote. Martina McBride.... What a performance. It can be said that freedom is never free. Sadly the story and its outcome are all too real. Domestic violence is a tragedy.

  • Out of all the 90s country songs this one is my favorite out of the whole decade.

  • this song is so good, but it makes me cry because things like this actually happen

  • What a voice!

  • Physical &Mental Abuses; they come in three different colors. Hurt & Pain come in the colors of black and blue. The last color of a Mending Bruise is yellow; which is also the same color of an Abusers hands, fists, and words. If you can't control your anger, whether it be physical or through words, get help. Stop the violence and mean verbal abuse against another adult or a child.

  • "Let freedom ring!!" :) sing it girl!

  • I love the black and white concept for the video. It is very upsetting how it all turns out. Just shows how sometimes freedom has no guarantee.

  • I have always loved this, but the mom should have not killed herself. That was weak bc that little girl needed her.

  • @legalglitz Well my theroy for the mom killing herself is the dad said ill kill your daughter if you dont! thats just my theroy though!

  • @legalglitz The mom survived, but was taken to jail for causing the fire.

  • LOVE this song! <3

  • what a powerful song! I was just looking at music when I came across this! This woman is beautiful! in every way god bless her! I hope she didn't really loose her mother this way 8[

  • If a man hit a woman they are not a man in my book. But I will say somthing I am proud that Martina McBride did this video to show how it can affect a family!!

  • @Kbiertzer it makes a man a coward to hit a woman

  • @2111jade i been in a bad relationship but i left the guy and unfortunately now im pregnant with his kid.

  • Came to this video..didn't think it would make me cry?

  • Any man who touches a women or girl is not a really man

  • @SummerCinn10 Amen to that.

  • this song tuches me i love its just sad to have seen this in still crying Proud to be a man and say I love this song. Shame on ANY MAN that lays a hand on his wife much less a women. Want to be a real man? Raise someone else's child, Lead your household and take your family to church,give respect-get respect and above all This song may be about a mother and daughter's emancipation from an abusive situation but in the distant future I think it's going to mean so much more than that.

  • @loveme123690021 i agree but just cause you refuse to rase someone elses kid doesnt make you not a man , and women need to be real women and not slutty whores

  • @quinny946 i agree they are oh and can i add you ok but im a girl i just loved your coment nd i still agree

  • @loveme123690021 sure :))

  • @quinny946 lol

  • Proud to be a man and say I love this song. Shame on ANY MAN that lays a hand on his wife much less a women. Want to be a real man? Raise someone else's child, Lead your household and take your family to church,give respect-get respect and above all, raise the women in your life to the highest pedestal. This song has always moved me. Thanks for the post.

  • @TheManFromAcme u seem like a good person

  • @TheManFromAcme i couldnt agree more honestly, i feel the same way.

  • @TheManFromAcme Amen to you. I'm not a man yet, but i'm 12 very close to 13 and I have a girlfriend and I treat her like she is my pride and joy... because she IS my pride and joy! Men are not supposed to be abusive to their wives, or children, there supposed to care for them... It hurts me so much when I see a child or woman being abused... :(
