[@sarahthompson2636]

yes, the point at the end is, she was an angel while living, and joined the angels that left before her. such a great song.

[@shainarobb5473]

Martina McBride wrote concrete angel for her niece and her sister Angela who was a victim of domestic abuse but thank you so much Martina McBride for sharing this song

[@edrrobb1988]

It's not about her family..that's a very very repeated falsehood but extensive research will find its not. No criticism meant

[@kristaransbottom6765]

Breaks your heart when you realize ALL the children running and playing at the end are concrete angels....

[@kerrihennebury7616]

But this is what’s so so beautiful about Country music. It doesn’t hold back the truth.

[@mrsd1095]

Martina tries to bring awareness to child abuse and trafficking. She wrote this one about her niece.

[@edrrobb1988]

It's not about her family..that's a very very repeated falsehood but extensive research will find its not. No criticism meant

[@changaming1275]

this song ALWAYS makes me cry especially when it gets to the part of the boy being an angel the whole time. this song and whiskey lullaby are the saddest songs...

[@Seagypsygirl]

My neice and nephew were shot by thier father in 2000. When this song came out I resinate with it so much to my core. The little girl in the video even resembles our sweet Angel Josephine. I swore Martina knew our story and wrote this for us!!!!

[@STEELERSCHIC]

SEB THE BOY WAS HER GUARDIAN ANGEL

[@rebeccabamford5505]

Martina McBrides “ Independence Day” is also amazing. About domestic violence but no one holds a note like her.

[@awy1977]

the 'Crossroads' where she sang that with Pat Benatar was just incredible.

[@SherriLyle80s]

Yes!

[@samanthajudy8333]

independence day is one of my all-time favorites...i friggn tear up every single time!!!!

[@jazzmaan707]

The little boy, was an angel, who made friends with her, before that day.

[@tonyascarlett2413]

The acting ability of those 2 children is amazing. No words spoken, and that little boy's expressions told a story that words could not.

[@SchreeSR]

Who else was was waiting patiently for Sebs to realize the little boy was her guardian angel? And I agree with him 100% about not being able to love anyone who hurts children.

[@singlechristiancowboy]

Yessum. Amen

[@katherineal-khanfar4436]

I'm always surprised how many people miss that.

[@christopheryochum3602]

He got it right away, faster than I did the first time I watched.

[@dogmorgan1234]

All the reviewers are missing it.

[@garfnob4832]

the boy was not a guardian angel he did not do any guarding. he was an angel of death, easing the transition and escorting the soul to what comes next.

[@dreamscrushed]

There is hope after a childhood like this, I'm proof! I'm a nurse who loves my patients and I love my two boys!! ❤️

[@scottdarden3091]

People!!!! If you see something, say something!!!!!!!

[@TaraLeeCampbell]

You should watch Martina McBride sing Broken Wing. When she sang it at the ACM awards, the audience gave her a standing ovation before she was done singing. This song will give you chills. It is a must listen to.

[@barbaratomlinson9519]

Listen to Martina sing "with a broken wing" about abused women but her vocals are insane.

[@karendavis2668]

My favorite song by her. I attempt it at karaoke 🤭

[@DocGliss]

My first exposure to Martina's voice was that one long belt in Broken Wing not long after it was released. I instantly became a fan. I've seen her a dozen times in concert, even met her once. And that voice never fails to make me forget everything else in the world.

[@paulahowlett1043]

Omg yes that one is awesome

[@juliefromusa2245]

Yes, this song would make me cry for the abused woman in the song.

[@bobjeaniejoey]

Yep, Broken Wing is Martina's most powerful song.

[@bethyoshida6715]

The first time I heard this song I broke down. It was because I was that little girl. At 5 I had to be shocked back to life after a beating. I grew up in foster care and I swore to myself that my kids would never go through what I did and I broke the cycle of abuse for my family. No child should ever go through anything like that.

[@B777-f7i]

❤❤I am so sorry for the evil that you had to endure. God loves more than you will ever know, I hope you found happiness and love.

[@anastasiabeaverhausen516]

As a child abuse survivor, I cry whenever I hear this song.

[@juanitamorgan5475]

I was just listening to this a while ago like literally and now here I am again the song is so sad listening to it makes me remember Sylvia likens that young 16 year old who was murdered by a woman that her parents left her with

[@tupelohoney622]

As a fellow survivor, know we can heal. Much love.

[@missypitts4135]

One thing I didn’t see was a comment about this song. This song was about her niece Angela Carter if you look at the gravestone Angela Carter’s name is on there with an angel. The song is just beautiful and should be shared with everyone. Martina McBride is one of the best singers out there.

[@AuthorTeeceReeder]

As a child abuse survivor, who almost didn’t make it out alive, I shed tears watching someone shed tears on our behalf. It means more than I can ever begin to tell you. Thank you for reacting to this video, it brings more awareness and makes this sickness no longer taboo. God bless you.

[@Joseph-ny5rr]

God bless you 🙏 ❤

[@baazinga13]

I'm sorry u had to deal with that!! Remember, u are loved ❤!!!

[@Meshuga.GeGeedah]

This 1000 times this

[@B777-f7i]

I'm so sorry you were abused and went through that evil. I hope you know Christ and his love. God bless you.❤❤

[@AuthorTeeceReeder]

@@B777-f7i Jesus Christ gets all the glory, He is the reason I survived. Bless you!

[@tanjadouglass6834]

I wasn't a fan of country music, but have since found out that there are some really great gems in country.

[@dannywood1472]

I coached 5th and 6th grade boys basketball for many years and I seen so many who suffered from life at home. I tried to show them how much they meant to me. You’d be surprised what a little love will get you. Some of the boys have kids of their own now and stop by the house just to check on me since I became disabled. They see us out and there’s always a hug for the wife and I. That’s all kids need, a little love and respect.

[@truthseekerforever9122]

I was abused growing up, I made it through only by God's grace. I came very close to the ambulance and grave. Every time I listen to this song it takes me back to a very dark time in my life. I am thankful that it is over. I try my best to love my son completely different than my childhood.

[@scottdarden3091]

Independence Day is another great song, Martina tackles domestic violence.

[@danieltilley4187]

This song breaks me everytime. When I was younger I was abused. Not anything close to this but still abused. It was in a foster home. But I love this song but I cry everytime I hear it.

[@jhcountry88]

My parents were mentally and physically abuse by their parents. They choice to break that cycle to became the best parents my siblings and I could have ever wanted. Raised with so much love. They are both gone now. I miss them deeply.

[@robertkemp185]

You were blessed to have such loving parents 🙏

[@ntracefan]

The song says “ In the morning it will be too late “ and “ she flies to a place where she’s loved” :-(

[@jeffmorrison2147]

Heartland I Loved Her First

[@whitewalker57]

“It’s not suppose to hurt to be a child”. Profound words for sure. Great reaction! The easiest thing in your life should be to love your children. You’re not always going to like them, but love doesn’t just stop for your child.

[@robinwilliams5254]

Little boy is an Angel

[@mikelmcknight72]

Very tough song. I was one of those kids, but I got out alive.

[@jeffjeff-j6t]

Hi Sebs ,You are a great Dad Sebs. God Bless.

[@Tyler_Mills26]

I can almost make it through this video without crying...I always break down when it's revealed that he was her guardian angel xxx

[@robindew9072]

She's an amazing country artist. Her voice is stunningly beautiful.

[@oohiikay7328]

most people don't realize the song is about that little boy... being her concrete angel from the start, as he saw it coming an was there for her before to ease her! but yes poor girl!

[@jimough2441]

Thanks for the message. It is incredibly important.

[@christinasullivan9304]

Martina has the greatest voice.

[@nataliehurley7081]

Martina pushes the boundaries others are afraid of

[@DeniseFowlerInNC]

You found Martina!!! Just saw her in concert with Wynona. Good lord, she is amazing.

[@gigih.hammer306]

I just listen to the Lyrics of this song. This is heart-breaking, So so sad. How can a mother not love her child. No matter how hard life gets, a mother should always show her child love.

[@kkspencer8376]

I'm a child abuse survivor. This song is heartbreaking, yet it means a lot to know someone sees us. I struggle with PTSD, and some days are rough. Watching your reactions to so many songs makes me smile.

[@louisewakelingsmith13]

Martina has some beautiful songs… keep listening

[@teresaglaros9457]

Love Martina McBride

[@magi12281991]

As everyone else has recommended “the Little Girl” by John Michael Montgomery. It is actually a touching uplifting song with a Christian undertone. I am 49 years old and recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. Your videos have been heartfelt in their emotions and i have loved watching your evolution from not liking country to liking country in the last few days. (I just found you). Thank you and your wife for being a little light and joy to my life in a dark time and God bless your daughters. It looks like they have an amazing father who will protect them from the storm when they need that.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

God bless you & praying you recover completely.

[@amandagarcia3668]

YES

[@charlesrumbaugh3668]

Yes!!!! He needs to do this one

[@sue9197]

Melle sending prayers to you🩶🙏

[@_S.D._]

🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼

[@cissylynn4992]

"Sometimes she wishes she was never born" is always what gets me too.

[@susanboyd245]

This song always makes me cry 😪

[@jamihanks6962]

This one and “The Little Girl” by John Michael Montgomery get me every single time.

[@chrisphillips6249]

"concrete angel" is also a reference to the sculptures of angels that are commonly placed on children's graves/headstones You and your wife should watch "In My Daughter's Eyes" together

[@rickyrheuark7989]

There was a lot of concrete angels . This world is half a nightmare most of the time. 😎🇺🇲👍🌟💯

[@frankscarborough1428]

Such a heartbreaker. Sometimes we need a reminder to pray for the children.

[@cliffordchang4612]

She sold merchandise for Garth Brooks on his tours. He promised to make her an opening act if she got a record deal. She signed with RCA in 1991 and Garth kept his promise.

[@jackie_jrml]

I bawl my eyes out - I can’t fully watch/listen. It’s the saddest song I’ve ever heard. She’s got the most amazing voice! Thanks for reacting to this.

[@carolgranados4892]

I think her song Broken Wing shows her range. Another must watch video.

[@terrisalser7721]

Another great song by her is God's Will. Definitely bring a tear to your eye

[@Meshuga.GeGeedah]

Thank you for loving your kids they way they, the way all kids deserve.

[@karenwalsh1143]

I knew you'd get to this video eventually BUT what I didn't know is the chills that went down my neck, back, and arms would happen to me when you realized he was an angel 😇 that's never happened before? THANK YOU SEBS FOR THAT !!!!!❣️

[@cindycarpenter6633]

She now sits in Jesus lap. No more pain.

[@charliebradbury3450]

When you realize she's going to play with that group of kids it makes you happy.... Until you realize they are all abused kids. 😢

[@Kimmielove70]

I swear I've seen this video 1000 times and the tears are running down my face. Oh I love all genres of music countries one of my favorite, but she's one of my favorite artist. She's so good life. Oh I can't stop crying. Thank you for your reaction.🫶🏼

[@greeneyelove2003]

Martina is amazing. She uses her talent and platform to bring attention to a lot of difficult topics. A few other country singers do the same. The teacher seeing those bruises and doing nothing always fills me with rage and then, at the end, the teacher is there at her funeral.

[@barbaramelville337]

😢😢😢 sad

[@lnetscoutnshelby5691]

"Whatever You Say" is another by Martina that showcases her range. She holds a note for 13 SECONDS! "Independence Day " (Official video) is also a must. She's definitely a powerhouse. Such a powerful voice from that little lady.

[@rosemariediamond5948]

It’s song is beautiful because of her voice. I cry every time I see this video. Please keep listening to Martina

[@jasongilbert2379]

Her voice is so beautiful!!! But the truth of this song and video is so heartbreaking:(

[@CantTakeTheSkysFromME]

This was me as a child, for 13 years every day not sure if that would be the day God finally said to me "Welcome home", but 4 times I always got "it's not your time, you have a long life ahead, be patient I'm here with you, my angles are watching.", and I was sent back to hell. idk why but I'm still here. Excepting your death, 4 times as a kid really messes you up. and with a mother that does nothing but allows it and hide it, tell you to lie, and a church that turns their head and tells you your the problem obey your parents, its a miracle I still believe in God, but that's because he has shown himself to me. I know I can't be broken, by anyone, tortured or beaten I'll get through again, my soul can't be broken. I figured each time if, I died my brother and mother would be free at least, but he still walks free, and my mom still talks to him. That's not forgiveness that's stockhome syndrome. Churches are corrupt so I don't go to church anymore and I don't take my kids. but we still teach God's word, I don't need a church of hypocrites and backstabbing gossipers do be close to my God.

[@Ketosaurus]

Seriously cant listen to this song without crying at some point. Such an emotional song.

[@jimsoderbom5884]

I've seen Martina live, simply amazing!

[@deborahjones8257]

She also wrote a song called Love you through it. It is about a woman who has cancer and her husband stands by her.

[@DeadSezSo]

I was like 11 when this song came out and I'd only just really gotten into watching mtv and vh1 and cmt and fuse. This song was big on cmt at that time and it moved me even as an 11 year old. I literally bawled when the little boy turned out to be her guardian angel. And I'm 30 now and I still cry every time I watch this video. I can listen to the song just fine but turn the video on and it literally breaks my heart all over again

[@tessan1970]

I cry EVERY time I hear it. And I have heard it many many times 😭

[@cindyphifer970]

Martina is a wonderful singer

[@Careless.Saint33]

The waterworks go every time for this song😭

[@AlexandriaAndrews3]

This one always gets me. Totally crying.

[@angelasuttles]

This is such a great song. This video is so hard to watch. I paused twice before the music started just to try and brace myself for what I knew was coming. Still had to pause again halfway through to pull myself together. I actually hate watching because it tears me up so badly, but always watch anyway to support the song and artist…and on this occasion to support the reactor as well. Thank you. I have the utmost respect and love for artists brave enough to speak out on important issues. It’s so admirable that she uses her platform in this manner. She does the same for abused women in “Broken Wing”. Such a beautiful powerful voice. Her talent is undeniable. And the message will never stop being so very important. We must protect those among us who cannot protect themselves. Much love young one! ❤️🙏😇

[@chriswhite4212]

I have heard this song many times and I still get tears in my eyes. Martina has a powerful voice.

[@BrokenLady67]

I think of my big sister when I hear this. She was six when she was killed

[@rachaelyamasaki3889]

Martina!! What a wonderful Singer! And this song! Like nobody but Martina could do!! Powerful!

[@brinasmom35]

God's Will is my Favorite Martina song.. I just love it!

[@darawallace5758]

Gods will by Martina McBride

[@jeanniewhite4458]

One of my all time favorite songs!

[@brandonbeltzer4136]

her voice is haunting and very good!

[@unavoidable_damage]

In my daughters eyes by Martina is beautiful

[@lianabaddley8217]

[@gretacarrick5934]

Martina is phenomenal. So many great songs. My two favorites are “Broken Wing” and “Independence Day.”

[@danrudnick5252]

Love how the country journey has just turned into Try and Make Sebs Cry

[@robinwilliams5254]

Martina so sweet

[@littlelion2544]

The video makes me cry with joy that my little stillborn daughter, Rebekah, from 1986 is in a good place in the arms of our Savior. I'll be there soon sweetheart. Also, the little girl in the video looks a lot like my almost 3 year old grand daughter that my son and his wife adopted at birth. She would have been in a bad situation, but thank God we all have her and we love her sooo much!

[@kellieshae]

I have absolutely loved country music for my entire life, and I have always been bullied for it, but you give me hope! This song, and another you reviewed "Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carrol, always give me the chills and makes me cry. I used to listen to them in middle school specifically to cry.

[@OneTrueHeart13]

Now he needs to do how can you be that lonely

[@SilverbladeDagger]

Martina is probably the most powerful voice in country music. She is the only one that can out Pat Benatar Pat Benatar herself, and she did on an episode of CMT Crossroads. Thing is, she's a tiny lady, but she can belt it out like someone twice her size!

[@lnetscoutnshelby5691]

Patty Loveless is another one that is so underrated. She has some incredible range.

[@pamelawilkinson]

Sebs. Once in a while, my algorithm here on KZbin sends me to your channel. And I say to myself “oh yeah, that’s that guy that hasn’t reacted to Dimash Kudaibergen yet.“ Even though I’ve begged him about three times in the last year to check him out. I have written three books about this young man and his vocal range and his humble personality, and his constant desire for peace in the world. He has amazing videos and MVs to prove it. There are at least 50 remarkable and out of this world songs I could recommend to get you on the Dimash train. But I’ll start with Stranger, new wave 2021. He’s not a household name in America yet but it won’t be long. I don’t want to turn this into a novel because I know so much about him. He has been in Los Angeles since February 1 working with the famous Walter Afanasieff who made the first six albums of Mariah Carey. Dimash has a seven octave range and has a stage presence like you have never seen before from a solo performer. Please give him a try and say “thanks Pamela for bugging me about this guy. You are correct he may be the best vocalist ever.” Thanks and you’re welcome. 🙏👍🏻

[@hloman4]

Your comment about being the parents/adults that we wish we had when we were younger..that is how I try to live my life every day. My father was a mentally and emotionally abusive alcoholic and to this day I still have lots of issues from what he put us through. But now in my late 30s with a husband and two sons, my life goal is to make sure that my kids never have to experience what I did. Home for them will always be a safe place, even if mine wasn't growing up.

[@MatthewvMayo]

This is one of the things I love about country music. It doesn't shy away from songs about the hard stuff. Jason Michael Carroll's Alyssa Lies is another beautiful song about child abuse.

[@BrandyMarshall-p9j]

This was my anthem growing up, i was lucky enouph to survive and became free, this song gave me strength and determination to never break.

[@terrygravley4376]

this one makes me cry every single time. if you want to cry again. Dolly Parton Me and Little Andy.. It will get you everytime

[@ronhunt9396]

Shes BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED

Oh I knew you were in for a rough ride on this one but God Bless Martina for getting the word out and alerting the world to protect these innocent lives! 🥰😍
