"A Woman Knows," John Anderson--sexual betrayal at southern speed, meanspeed=70 beats per minute, meanemotion=grace

John Anderson’s video A Woman Knows is about how even though a woman secretly knows that their husband and father-to-their-children is unfaithful sexually, because “it’s all about the family, she’ll stay with him, no matter what she chooses not to see.” Meanwhile, the video shows this Southern family of four, a young white couple with 2 young daughters, and a cheating husband and a wife crying herself to sleep at night as the husband turns his back to her. Meanwhile, on the surface, he is still going to church with her, making “love” to her every night, and buying dozens of roses every Valentine’s day. Still: She knows! The speed? Pure grace. I have to say: this song’s genre is “Country,” and John Anderson is a country singer. I’d love to see a New York City version of this—or maybe not! An attitude of calm reflection in the sexual betrayal is conveyed by the 53-year old veteran singer-songwriter Anderson. In fact, the video is practically John watching a video of the couple as the “wise older person,” knowing what really goes on in the bedroom—and how a woman always knows—you do, do you not?
