FilmPoems Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - Martina cares deeply about helping abused women and children, that is why some of her songs (Independence Day, Concrete Angel) deal with it.

Nov 16, 2008 - she didnt kill herself, she killed her parents, cause the lyrics goes 'Just put out the flames and took down some names and send me to the county home'

Nov 17, 2008 - This song says it all... I was an abused wife for many years until I got my Independence Day.. I got divorced on 06-18-86, my INDEPENDENCE DAY! Women can get out of spousal abuse, they just have to leave or get out...Thank you Martina McBride for this wonderful song..it means so much...

WHHS2002 Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - This is a really sad song but it has a good message. Abuse is wrong and needs to end before something bad happens.

Nov 17, 2008 - Well she seemed alright by dawns early light but she seemed a little worried to me. She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again but daddy left the proof on her cheek. I was only eight years old that summer, but I always seemed to be in the way, so I took myself down to the fair in town on Independence Day. Well, word gets around in a small, small town. They said he was a dangerous man. But mama was proud and she stood her ground she knew she was on the losin' end.

parkerbettycurry Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Until I saw her video with Elvis, I had not heard her voice. Yes....I've been living with my head under some rock, I guess. However, I have really been missing a beautiful voice and a lovely lady. SHE ROCKS!! I will tune in more and smile each time I hear her voice.
