An Independence Day is an annual event commemorating the anniversary of a nation's assumption of independent statehood, usually after ceasing to be a colony or part of another nation or state; more rarely after the end of a military occupation. Most countries observe their respective independence days as a national holiday, and in some cases the observance date is controversial or contested.
The following is a partial list of independence days of countries around the world:
Mark Kermode (born 2 July 1963) is an English film critic, musician and a member of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. He contributes to Sight and Sound magazine, The Observer newspaper and BBC Radio 5 Live, where he presents Kermode and Mayo's Film Reviews with Simon Mayo on Friday afternoons. He also co-presents the BBC Two arts programme The Culture Show and discusses other branches of the arts for the BBC Two programme Newsnight Review. Kermode writes and presents a film-related video blog for the BBC.
Kermode, born Mark Fairey in Barnet, North London, England, attended Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, an independent boys' school in Elstree, a few years ahead of comedians Sacha Baron Cohen, Matt Lucas and David Baddiel and in the same year as actor Jason Isaacs. He was raised as a Methodist, and is now a member of the Church of England.
Mark Fairey's parents divorced when he was in his early 20s and he subsequently changed his surname to his GP mother's maiden name by deed poll. (Neither of them is related to the literary critic Frank Kermode.)

Her name is Amber, her life like no other
This was the night, her soul took flight
All the children went out to play
Independence day
I have voices in my head
We pretend that we're friends
They all say they hate you
They're not scared of you
It's an awful cruel world
The way you hurt me
The way you touch me, I'm your little girl
I'm your flesh and blood, I found your gun
Good night, sleep tight
Don't let the bed bugs bite
Pull the covers down, turn the lights out
Independence day, independence day
I have friends under my bed
They put ideas in my head
I need a sandpaper shower
I'll scrub my skin for hours
It's an awful cruel world
The things you say to me
The way you play with me, I'm your little girl
I'm your flesh and blood, I found your gun
Good night, sleep tight
Don't let the bed bugs bite
Pull the covers down, turn the lights out
Independence day, independence day
A bedtime kiss
Dirty hands unclean
A pillow for my head in case I scream
Frozen thoughts, white knuckles
But I'm not afraid
Of your belt buckle
I have your gun
Good night, sleep tight
Don't let the bed bugs bite
Pull the covers down, turn the lights out
