This lady can sing. She can sing it loud and proud too. Such a talented woman. This song is very powerful too. Brings tears to my eyes. Sing it Martina.
Whether I listen to it once, or 100,000 times, raises the hair on my arms and brings tears to my eyes every time! What an amazing voice and such a beautiful song.....oh, and she is awful easy on the eyes too.....:) Great job Martina!!!!!!
Fantastic talent! I still recall the first time I heard Martina sing "Independence Day." I was driving down a country road and had to get off and park because I just wasn't paying any attention to my driving -- only to her. Always one of my favorites!!!!
I agree!! I went to see her perform once at an outdoor event and she was great!! The Lynn's opened for Martina. (Loretta Lynn's Daughters). Excellent Show!!
Wow, this brings me way back. I was in bands that opened several shows for her and my daughter was also a huge fan, so I have probably seen her live about a dozen times. She's THE single most consistent and stable voice I have ever heard. And she's just as genuine as you might think as she is the same person off stage as she is on.
@@audiophileman7047 Have you seen when Martina sang, 'Anyway,' on American Idol? She brought her youngest daughter with her. She was really cute. Ryan compared her to Paula.
As a 46 year old Brit its one of 3 that do it, the others What Ya Gonna Do About Me by Reba McEntire and Jesus Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood, now add 2 more to the list Gods Will and Concrete Angel both by Martina. Concrete Angel the biggest of the lot
Every time I hear her sing this song it sends chills up my spine. Was lucky to see her do it live in the late 90's. But a shout out to Gretchen Peters for writing an awesome song.
This song & message has never been more relevant or necessary then today. 9 yrs after this recording! Who is listening in 2022? We need to STAND TOGETHER & TAKE BACK our pure human given rights. No matter race, creed, geography or beliefs. More love to ourselves & each other! "Let the guilty PAY!!" "Let the weak be STRONG!"🙏 May God bless everyone reading this, you are worthy, loved, blessed & bountiful! Let's take back our independence globally. We are powerful together. Love & light. God speed you lovely humans💗
"Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's independence day." Beautiful in every way and a surprisingly poignant Easter message for today. God bless 🙏
Since first hearing Independence Day Martina has really blown me away, its the most emotional voice I have ever heard. In the "Heartbreaker" front she has already smashed Reba out of the park with this, Gods Will and the biggest of them all Concrete Angel On the looks front she hammers Reba as well, mind you she is 11 years younger, however Martina is up to 2nd from nowhere on my eye candy the only one above her is 16 years younger. I haven't heard enough cover versions or "Happy Stuff" to judge on that but its looking more and more like, Reba your days are numbered. After another couple, including a great cover of Rose Garden, Martina took favourite singer about 36 hours ago
I 1st cameacross Martina back in 1994. I had been given tickets to Garth Brooks in the Point Depot in Dublin. When I heard who was doing support I went off to the music store across the street and bought the album "The Way That I Am". I listened to every song and loved them all. The photograph on the cover is awesome but we all know they are touched up and brushed up. When I got to see her in person I was awestruck by her voice and her beauty. To this day (30 years later) I cannot stop thinking about those eyes of hers and just how stunningly beautiful she was.
Such a tiny person yet a HUGE voice. Her vocal chords must run all the way to her knees. I honestly don't think she has ever sung a bad note. One of my favorites.
Now thats singer and song that has got the lot A great looking singer with an amazing voice and a quality song with a strong message. Musics second biggest heartbreaker after Concrete Angel
Martina is a awesome country music artist What makes this so much better is my daughter is actually born on 4th of July! 🎉 She will turn 18 here soon ! We would love to see Martine McBride in concert that would make her day and then some !!! Let us know if you'll be in the Rocky mountains anytime soon?
I like heavy metal normally but have to say I accidently discovered this lady one day on youtube and have to honestly say she is bloody brilliant. I even bought some of her albums. Her incredible voice is just a gift straight from God.
When is gettin' beatn by husband's ever ok... Ok back then ..when Ok now...it shouldn't be. On the flip side of that It's not ok for women to beat the shit out of their husbands either. There are women who have beaten their husbands to death. So it goes both ways.
@@philwatson6659 I hear ya l was just saying it took long enough for Patty Loveless to be inducted in to the Hall of Fame I've been a fan of hers since 1987 Johnny From Alabama
@@RenoWeedLajos oh she was gorgeous. It was the days before the internet. You know. We heard tales of her beauty and she definitely did not disappoint with those baby blues.
Lady crush on this woman….inspirational. Vince Gill is gentlemanly….he seems to be very supportive of women….including Carrie Underwood ….he is like the fave Uncle of Country Music lol
Saw Mrs. McBride live, in concert, several years ago. Although she hardly talked at all between songs, her performance was, in my opinion, very impressive. Definitely has singing and stamina skills, and definitely has singing and performing talent. And she even did a song at the end of the concert that was also impressive -- a "near-perfect" rendition of the Journey song, "Don't Stop Believin'". It sounded exactly like the real song, except with a different singer. I didn't know she had the rights to sing that song in concert -- but I won't argue. I assume they have worked it out legally with the lawyers. If you completely ignore the lyrics, her concert performance was classy and family-friendly. Anyway, for what it's worth, that's my take, however partial, on her concert performance.
Stunning woman, stunning voice, stunning performance. She is without the greatest female vocalist of my lifetime, and I'm not a young man. This is a very hard song to sing in any octave; she chooses the highest one and absokutely nails it everytime. Her voice doesn't even crack once! On top of all of that talent, she is drop dead gorgeous!
It's really hard to be abused for the time before I got out of my very last marriage. I will never be beat up no more. You go girl help those that are going thru this. GOD bless and keep you safe. I'll never get married again.
Pathetic outlook. Get back in the game, or life will pass you by. Trust me, real love is out there. Don't be afraid of being hurt, be afraid that one bad experience could make you miss out on real love.
I started out in a orphanage so this song rings a familiar chord with all I've been thru. We freedom fighters are here. Screw the satanic corupt COURTS!!
Domestic Violence, is rampant in the US. Women are held captive by their husbands, partners or others they think they can trust. Once that trust is broken, there should never be any going back. You never heal from this. You can seek treatment, try again but that type of treatment never heals. Relationships usually don’t last. It takes hard work to take someone on that’s been abused, mentally and physically. Only a special person could endure such a try with a partner that’s experienced such abuse. This song, is a perfect example of type of treatment. Thank you Martina!❤
💙 Independence Day 2024 Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light Though she looked a little worried and weak She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again But daddy left the proof on her cheek And I was only eight years old that summer And 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 Mama was proud and she stood her ground She knew she was on the losin' end Some folks whispered some folks talked But everybody looked the other way When time ran out there was no one about On Independence Day Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July By the time that the firemen come They just put out the flames and took down some names And sent me to the county home Now, I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong But maybe it's the only way Talk about your revolution It's the Independence Day Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day Roll the stone away, it's Independence Day

When Martina sings a song, she really belts it out. I am amazed at the voice that comes from her little frame. When it comes to singing, she is huge.

We missed in this life but you were and continue to be on my bucket list girl. Best in life!
She is simply the best female country singer
Certainly top 3. She would have to do something spectacular to top the lot. My current favourite Reba
I am not a country music fan but this song grabs my soul.

And she raised three daughters while doing it.

Pat and Martina did CMT crossroads, and they did this song. You can find the video on TH-cam.

She and Pat did this on MTV - Worth a watch
Your song is an inspiration to women who were beaten by their husbands... It was ok back then.. Thank you for you beautiful song...
No man EVER should EVER hit a Women
When is gettin' beatn by husband's ever ok...
Ok back then ..when
Ok now...it shouldn't be.
On the flip side of that
It's not ok for women to beat the shit out of their husbands either.
There are women who have beaten their husbands to death.

💙 Independence Day
2024
Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And 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
Mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
When time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now, I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's the Independence Day
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day
Roll the stone away, it's Independence Day
