Independent or The Independents may refer to:
An independent or nonpartisan politician is an individual politician not affiliated to any political party. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent.
Some independent politicians may be associated with a political party, perhaps as former members of it, or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level.
The Independents were a group of modernist painters based in the New Hope, Pennsylvania, area of the United States during the early 1930s. They evolved out of The New Group (founded in 1930), a collection of artists dissatisfied with the hold that "conservative" Pennsylvania Impressionists had on local exhibitions.
Members of the Independents included Peter Keenan, Robert Hogue, R.A.D. Miller, Charles Evans, Henry Baker, Ralston Crawford, Charles Frederic Ramsey, and Faye Swengel Badura.
Mister Sadman sitting home all aloneNo one to talk to, no
one to phone
Crying out in your shame
Sadman can you take the pain
Why do you cry
Mister Sadman
Do you want to die
Friends you had but now are gone
You are left in a no man zone
Cheated, schemed, happiness you decay
Sadman you are left to pay
Mister Sadman caught up in your lies
Hatred now boils behind all eyes
Self-esteem all you have lost
Was your loneliness worth the cost
