"I am admittedly not a big fan of videos, for the reasons you mention, but I thought the Independence Day video was really well done. The house was an old abandoned house which they got permission to burn down. They only had one chance at it, obviously, and got that footage of Martina singing in front of the house while cinders were falling on her back! I don't know what I would have done differently, if I'd had the chance, I thought the video was very powerful." Gretchen Peters
"We'd never worked with Martina and we heard the song 'Independence Day' and we called Mary Hamilton at RCA and said 'We have to do this video.' And we don't normally do that." George Flanigen
"Martina McBride, Robert Deaton, and George Flanigen brought the video in. There was a little bit of anxiousness in the committee meeting and just knowing that the subject matter was gonna be a little difficult I remember watching it and thinking this was probably one of the best videos I’ve seen so far." Fran Galloway, CMT Programming Dept. 1994, in the Independence Day episode of CMT’s Controversy.
