Both of them burned up, when she finally cracked. "I'm not saying it's right or its wrong, but maybe its the only way" Mom couldn't find a way out. "Let the weak be strong, let the wrong be wrong. Roll the stone away let the guilty pay" Stop turning your eyes away from abuse and help others, roll the blinds off your eyes and step in.
Actually if you watch the video closely you will see the mom run out the mom survived but they give the image of her burning up in the house because they’re shooting it from the back of the house not the front of the house
it's actually a Christian message. Notice Amazing Grace at the beginning of the video. "Rolling the Stone" refers to the burial and resurrection Jesus. The stone was rolled away from His empty tomb which made Mary Magdalene think his body had been moved but he appeared to her in his resurrected form. "Rolling the Stone" has thus become a Metaphor for coming back from Death, defeating death etc. "Let the Guilty Pay". How do we judge who is guilty, after death Jesus is the judge and there is no escaping his judgement the way many can on Earth. "Let The Weak Be Strong, Let The Wrong Be Wrong" has strong connections to the Beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount.
@@rhiahlMT county home either way really. if she dies in the fire the girl is orphaned and if she lives she's in jail and the girl is still sent to the county home. The song and video were meant to have that open ended ending though. It's the same with her song a broken wing as well where the ending is ambiguous
i like the part with the clowns and how it showed that to everyone else it was just harmless fun, funny even, but to her it was a painful reminder of her every day reality.
I am a survivor of domestic abuse. My husband , at the time, just had a serious anger issue and I was his punching bag. I was 16 and he was 21. He would hit me and then say he was sorry and I would believe him. He would love me and treat me like a queen....until the next time. I would not tell anyone because I thought I loved him and he loved me. I did not want to lose him. After a couple years of abuse.....oh, by the way, he also started to abuse our baby girl by shaking her when she would cry and throw her into her bed.........after a couple years, he got put in prison for some bad things he did and I took advantage of that and divorced him. I never let another man ever touch me like that and I made sure my daughter was NEVER abused again. That was almost 47 years ago and I can say that both she and I are happily married to two great guys and we proudly tell people that we are survivors, and not victims!!
My understanding is that Martina was too close to the house while she was singing and ended up getting burned, but she knew she only had a limited number of "takes" while it burned so she put the pain of the burns into her singing. I had a foster child once, a toddler, who had come from a rather violent background. Our family was watching TV, NCIS or something similar, and two of the characters got into a fist fight. I looked over at the toddler and turned off the show. The poor babe was cowering in a corner shaking with silent sobs. I've never before encountered a child who could cry so silently. It broke my heart and while the child was with us, we were very careful with what we watched. The scene with this little girl reacting to the clowns in the parade always brings this moment to mind.
Both, that was the significance of the lines “I ain’t saying it’s right or it’s wrong; but maybe it’s the only way. Talk about your revolution, it’s Independence Day”. The mom could not save herself but she could save her daughter by burning everything to the ground.
I am a DV survivor x 2. The first wasn't too hard to get away from. The second one...I was trapped for a long time until I could run. I can't stand the "well why doesn't she/he just leave" comments because it's obvious that being deliberately ignorant on this subject is the priority. Try reading! Stop the victim shaming...those that do are part of the reason why we can't leave. Abusers don't change...that's a hard one for people to understand...control is their power...they don't give that up. Bones and bruises heal faster than words...don't need physical injuries to suffer for decades over what you were convinced about yourself...worthless, ugly, stupid...it never ends. The "I'll kill you if you leave" actually does happen so unless you can provide a safe place until that SOB dies, just shut up. End of rant.
Had a stepfather that worked for the railroad. My mother knew the dangers so she literally was trapped until I left for college. Then she had the option of running and focusing on her safety, which I commend her for. Later on, he used his job to chase a woman across FOUR STATES. But yea, I wholly agree.
You're too right. My mama didn't dare file for a divorce from her second mistake until she hooked up with a trucker who got us and the animals out of the state. For a long time only my granny knew where we'd gone.
FINALLY! Glad you got around to doing this reaction! The mom set the fire and burned down the house with both her and the dad inside. That’s why the little girl was taken away to a county home.
Both parents died in the fire, started by the wife, after sending the little girl to town to see the parade, rather than letting her witness more violence. While little girl was gone to town, mom burned down the house killing herself and abusive husband both. That's why she says the line about being sent to the county home.
My favorite songs from Martina McBride are That’s Me, Independence Day, That Wasn’t Me, Wrong Again, and Still Holding On (duet with Clint Black). She has amazing range and power. You can feel her emotions every time she sings with that golden voice.
I like the version on one of the awards ceremony when she sang this song. Her powerful voice freeing her of domestic abuse and received a standing ovation.
This song was written about the true life story of Francine Hughes which became a book and a movie entitled "The Burning Bed" with Farrah Fawcett. Francine was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. As a writer, we sometimes begin our story with one single truth, and then build upon it. This song is like that. The true story was somewhat different with Francine found not guilty. She rounded up her children, put them all in the car; and then, went back in the house and lit her husband's bed on fire. She then drove to the police department before turning herself in...
The implication is definitely that the mom set the fire. I always assumed the mom died too but you had me questioning it lol. Child Taken to the county home implies she no longer has parents, but if mom was taken into custody same would happen It reminds me of a true story that was really sad. Man named Josef Barsi was an abusive drunk that constantly threatened to kill his wife and daughter. Police got involved but mom dropped the complaint. CPS got involved after the daughter had an emotional breakdown and was referred to child psychiatrist. They dropped the case when mom promised to leave the dad. She didn’t. Dad shot his 10 year old daughter in her bed, then his wife as she came running to the sound. 2 days later he stet the bodies and house on fire. Then short himself His daughter was Judith Barsi, a prolific child actress in the 80’s., dozens of commercials, tv appearances, and major voice roles in “Land Before Time” and “All Dogs aGo to Heaven.”
Thank you for saying what you are on here and for playing this song. I was beaten, kicked down stairs, robbed, you name it by my former Marine husband. I am now in my "Independence Day" and grateful to be old and alone - at least I have a normal life.
Thank you I'm a DV survivor I left that relationship after 3 years and having miscarriage. I'm a single mom of a son and daughter and they know I don't put up with that or SA I'm also a survivor of that but I don't use that excuse that will not define the woman I am. Anybody being abused get out now, don't let abuser tell you how sorry they are or that it won't happen again or that it's your fault, value,love and respect yourself. If it happens once it'll happen again God bless everyone 🙏🙏
'Independence Day' was a movie that pretty much parallels this video, abused woman blows the house up by turning the gas on the stove and lighting a match, mom and dad in the house, both dead in the end. Very sad movie, fabulous song!
I was the little girl. Only, somehow God made me my mom's voice. Her protector. He started putting her in the hospital before i was born. I saw some horrific shyte. From the time I was around 8, I started getting in the middle and really dressing down my Dad; mirroring certain behaviors(intentionally) like breaking things after he did to show him how horrible he was. By some miracle, my Dad never hit us. And by another miracle, he just up and stopped. Just like that, after one of my huge flip outs when I was 11. He kept drinking, flipping out and destroying our stuff, however he stopped hurting her. I carried a lot of effed up baggage until my mid 30's. It's horrible. But the song is right. Sometimes, it's the only way. Talk about your revolution; It's Independence Day. Please reach out if you are in this situation. I know it is easier said than done. Love light Strength and Healing to all. 🕯💚😇🧿
In 1994, Martina McBride released "Independence Day," a single that became one of her signature songs. Written by Gretchen Peters, the tune shares the story of a mother and daughter living with an abusive husband, told through the eyes of the young girl. On July 4th, the lyrics go, the daughter walks down to the fairgrounds -- and while she is out, her mother burns down their house, with her husband inside, and achieves her own "Independence Day."
In 2008, I was living with someone who I thought was great. Bought me small things, cooked for me, looked after me...until one day I said something or looked at him funny or whatever. I got hit hard in the face. I'm 5' 10" and weighed about 220 at the time. I could defend myself, but in that second, I felt worthless. I remembered what my mom told me. One time is one times too many. I got to a neighbors, called 911, had him arrested. He called from jail and asked if I could come get him, said he's never going to do it again, etc. I said "nope", had the locks changed (it was my place), and threw all of his shit on the lawn. I see this guy around town once in a blue moon. I laugh, because I've been married for 8 years to a guy who is actually great and would rather die than abuse me in any way.
You should check out John Michael Montgomery - The Little Girl, Teddy Bear - Red Sovine, Broken wing - Martina McBride, or What do you say - Reba McEntire. If you haven't yet?
I got out of an abusive marriage, with 4 children. after 8 years it was enough! after 3 yrs, I married a man that God sent to me! He loved my children like his own son, who came to live with us!! 47 yrs, and now he is with Jesus, but a great marriage, after a bad one is the best revenge to me!
The implication was that the mother went to jail for burning the house down and killing the father, hence why the narrator of the song went into foster care (the "county home").
Also domestic abuse in general. I was mentally, verbally, emotionally tonally, and financially abused in my past and that leaves scars you cannot see and I still struggle at times years later and sadly again happened with a more recent ex.
Other songs about spouses killing spouses I like: "Goodbye Earl" - The Chicks "Papa Loved Mama" - Garth Brooks [Note: Garth's songs are very hard to find on streaming services] "The Thunder Rolls" - Garth Brooks "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" - Reba McEntire "Gunpowder and Lead" - Miranda Lambert "Kerosene" - Miranda Lambert "Two Black Cadillacs" - Carrie Underwood "Church Bells" - Carrie Underwood
You should react to Alyssa Lies, that one will make you cry Love Martina McBride, she has a beautiful voice and she has a at least three songs about domestic violence: independence day, concrete angel, and with a broken wing
Fun fact Martina actually got burnt filming the scene in front of the house because they had to get it one shot and she was standing too close. If memory serves me correct.
My sister was murdered by her husband. He blamed it on her. He said that it her fault because she got him mad when he was drunk, and she should have known better. She was 19.
Another emotional song dealing with domestic violence is titled the little girl by John Micheal Montgomery. Another is from a rock trio called Rush titled everyday glory. I hate bullies and wish one day we can finally eliminate people like that. Whether it's bullying a woman, kid, or just somebody smaller or outnumbered. We NEED to eliminate this problem.
Love the NF Clouds hoodie! The first time I heard this song, when I was younger, I had no idea how deep the lyrics were, I thought it was just a patriotic song. Also, completely agree bout littering, people are too lazy and inconsiderate. The same goes for leaving shopping carts in the middle of parking lots, just put them where they're supposed to go. I'm off my soapbox now lol!
The fact that she couldn't bare two watch to clowns messing around at a fair because she had such PTSD breaks my heart...this always struck a cord with me when watching this video 😢💔💔
it's true both of them died in the video for some reason the video you watched didn't show the mom holding a light match near a broken kerosene lamp looking at down the highway where the daddy is and dropping the the match into the kerosene to set the place a blaze
This really did happen and Danville Michigan in 1977 a woman that was being severely abused by are living ex-husband she got sick and tired of it while he was asleep she died into the bed she poured a flammable liquid around him and burn him alive she gathered up a kids went to the police station and turned herself in she went into the police station screaming I did it I did it by the time the police got there the whole house was ingulfed in flames
I always thought the mom killed the dad in self defense and then burned the house down and was arrested. But maybe she was still in the house and died too. I never thought of that angle.
Nobody can deliver it by Martina she has the voice of an Angel
Both of them burned up, when she finally cracked. "I'm not saying it's right or its wrong, but maybe its the only way" Mom couldn't find a way out. "Let the weak be strong, let the wrong be wrong. Roll the stone away let the guilty pay" Stop turning your eyes away from abuse and help others, roll the blinds off your eyes and step in.
Actually if you watch the video closely you will see the mom run out the mom survived but they give the image of her burning up in the house because they’re shooting it from the back of the house not the front of the house

"Let The Weak Be Strong, Let The Wrong Be Wrong" has strong connections to the Beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount.
@@thomasdemay9805 interesting take on the sing,never noticed it
@@mrtoad8585 Yeah, that's how you wind up in the county home, because your mom survives a fire.

Such a profound meaning of the mother and daughter singing Amazing Grace that morning.

You speak nothing but the truth madam!

I'm happy you got away from both. You are a true WARRIOR x
You're too right. My mama didn't dare file for a divorce from her second mistake until she hooked up with a trucker who got us and the animals out of the state. For a long time only my granny knew where we'd gone.
She's got one of those voices you can't help but like
Martina has pipes, and this song brings me to tears every time
The fact that you didn't once mention her voice has me questioning you
FINALLY! Glad you got around to doing this reaction! The mom set the fire and burned down the house with both her and the dad inside. That’s why the little girl was taken away to a county home.
Its possible that the mom didn't actually die but still went to prison for killing her husband. The song doesn't say exactly what happened.
Both parents died in the fire, started by the wife, after sending the little girl to town to see the parade, rather than letting her witness more violence. While little girl was gone to town, mom burned down the house killing herself and abusive husband both. That's why she says the line about being sent to the county home.
Her song "concrete angel" is another heartbreaking song that brings light to child abuse
lmaoooo loved the vid. wish you talked more about how lit the song was. but thanks for appreciating the meaning behind it. subbed
Her voice is amazing. Her and Dolly are my favorite female voices in country
Martina's voice is amazing! As a singer I could only wish to have such a strong voice with amazing range.
Oh yeah this is so sad, its an old song but still brings tears.
I’ve been waiting on you to do this reaction!
I agree with ya Bro. 100%
Keep up the great work.
we should comment on the voice and power of Martina McBride!!!
You dont decide when the video starts, martina does lol
My favorite songs from Martina McBride are That’s Me, Independence Day, That Wasn’t Me, Wrong Again, and Still Holding On (duet with Clint Black). She has amazing range and power. You can feel her emotions every time she sings with that golden voice.
I wish you saw the color version. She has the MOST beautiful blue eyes!
I like the version on one of the awards ceremony when she sang this song. Her powerful voice freeing her of domestic abuse and received a standing ovation.
From a Domestic Violence survivor this song holds special meaning,

Yes. Her gravestone has her catchphrase "Yep, yep, yep!"

Your right on what you are saying good for you

New sub. Great reaction. Look forward to more. EDIT... Littering should have a life sentence. Man I'm a fan. You rule

Amen
Dude you react to the best songs ever
In the original video, mama was led in cuffs to a police car. Why the scene was changed idk, maybe for people to read what they wanted into the story.
Took both their lives. The song says the little girl was sent to the County Home :-(
This was one of my moms favorite songs, but we lost her on October 1 of 2019 to metastatic breast cancer. I tear up every time it is played .
I got out of an abusive marriage, with 4 children. after 8 years it was enough! after 3 yrs, I married a man that God sent to me! He loved my children like his own son, who came to live with us!! 47 yrs, and now he is with Jesus, but a great marriage, after a bad one is the best revenge to me!
Mom had the match and let it drop. The girl was sent to the County Home, so I am assuming both parents went up in flames.
the difference in a fight and domestic violence is that you're getting hurt by someone that you love and is supposed to have loved you
The implication was that the mother went to jail for burning the house down and killing the father, hence why the narrator of the song went into foster care (the "county home").
She wasn't " afraid " to use her platform to champion the problems of the world. She was AMAZING at it.
I totally agree with you on littering. The earth is not a trash can.
Both were in the house i think the dad was passed out drunk and mom may have been seriously wounded but she couldnt take it either way
You NEED TO REACT to Broken Wing by Martina!! It is FIRE!!
Life sentences. THANK YOU
They were both in it. She was saving her daughter from her abusive dad so she wouldn’t have to go through what her mom did.
I agree with you on the domestic violence thing. At least 25 years. And on the wrong side of the prison too
Also domestic abuse in general. I was mentally, verbally, emotionally tonally, and financially abused in my past and that leaves scars you cannot see and I still struggle at times years later and sadly again happened with a more recent ex.
With a broken wing, I think is also martina mcbride
Martina is a real treasure.
I’m with you bro! Wtf is wrong with people just littering?? Throw your shit in the trash. !
I grew up that way , I don’t wish that on any child ever😭
Other songs about spouses killing spouses I like:
"Goodbye Earl" - The Chicks
"Papa Loved Mama" - Garth Brooks [Note: Garth's songs are very hard to find on streaming services]
"The Thunder Rolls" - Garth Brooks
"The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" - Reba McEntire
"Gunpowder and Lead" - Miranda Lambert
"Kerosene" - Miranda Lambert
"Two Black Cadillacs" - Carrie Underwood
"Church Bells" - Carrie Underwood
in Maryland its a 25000 dollar fine for littering
The little girl by John Michael Montgomery
The mama lit it up
There were oil lamps on the mantel that he knocked on the ground you missed her lighting the match
Not necessarily a patriotic song, but a great video and a beautiful voice
You should react to Alyssa Lies, that one will make you cry
Love Martina McBride, she has a beautiful voice and she has a at least three songs about domestic violence: independence day, concrete angel, and with a broken wing
I hear you on them litter bugs, man.
I love this song
If the mom got out, they wouldn't be sending the 8 year old to the county home.
Fun fact Martina actually got burnt filming the scene in front of the house because they had to get it one shot and she was standing too close. If memory serves me correct.
Both was in the house
She turned the gas stove on, and blew themselves up, along with the house.
Mom burnt the house down with both her & her husband in there.
My sister was murdered by her husband. He blamed it on her. He said that it her fault because she got him mad when he was drunk, and she should have known better. She was 19.
Another emotional song dealing with domestic violence is titled the little girl by John Micheal Montgomery. Another is from a rock trio called Rush titled everyday glory. I hate bullies and wish one day we can finally eliminate people like that. Whether it's bullying a woman, kid, or just somebody smaller or outnumbered. We NEED to eliminate this problem.
The mom's desperation led her to take both herself and her husband out. It was the only solution she had. 🥺
Love the NF Clouds hoodie! The first time I heard this song, when I was younger, I had no idea how deep the lyrics were, I thought it was just a patriotic song. Also, completely agree bout littering, people are too lazy and inconsiderate. The same goes for leaving shopping carts in the middle of parking lots, just put them where they're supposed to go. I'm off my soapbox now lol!
The fact that she couldn't bare two watch to clowns messing around at a fair because she had such PTSD breaks my heart...this always struck a cord with me when watching this video 😢💔💔
it's true both of them died in the video for some reason the video you watched didn't show the mom holding a light match near a broken kerosene lamp looking at down the highway where the daddy is and dropping the the match into the kerosene to set the place a blaze
She actually got he back burnt c7z she stood too close to the fire ans she said nothing until the song was over.
She felt it was her only way out.
Both of them.
The mom kill the husband and herself in the fire the phrase that County took me away it's what they mean thank you for your reaction
Martina used her musical platform to raise social issues, "Broken Wing", God's Will"
She burned it down with both
This is taken from an actual occurrence.
This really did happen and Danville Michigan in 1977 a woman that was being severely abused by are living ex-husband she got sick and tired of it while he was asleep she died into the bed she poured a flammable liquid around him and burn him alive she gathered up a kids went to the police station and turned herself in she went into the police station screaming I did it I did it by the time the police got there the whole house was ingulfed in flames
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice yourself to save others! She did what she had to to protect her child!
You should listen to Arlo Guthrie Alice's Restaurant if you don't like littering. It's about 30 minutes and a story song
I always thought the mom killed the dad in self defense and then burned the house down and was arrested. But maybe she was still in the house and died too. I never thought of that angle.
Call that bill taking out the trash 🙃
Mom burned the house down with both of them in it. Sadly it was the only option she thought she had.
I think the message is…the victims are many in DV. Especially kids. ✌️
