美國創作歌姬［芳達夏普］──流行搖滾曲──［Read Your Mind／看出你的心思］

We held hands and laughed
Then we jumped in the water
Off the jetty wed fly
As the sun got hotter

We were any age
Floating through space
Happy for once in the human race

On this sweet Sunday and into Monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
But am I really free?

If I could read your mind
I hope Id find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
Id try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time

Like a broken record
Ive stayed protected
From promises, from disappointments
I wanna hear your dreams, wanna drift away
Wanna break you in

Oh, I wanna stay
Stay in heaven, oh in heaven
And see my life finally begin
Will we be together, oh forever?
Darling please let me in

If I could read your mind
I hope Id find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
Id try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time

Oh, I want to stay in this sweet Sunday and into Monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
Has finally found me
But am I really free?

If I could read your mind
I hope Id find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
Id try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
Na, na, na , na, na

If I could read your mind
Na, na, na, na, na

１９９８年, 美國創作歌手芳達夏普（Vonda Shepard）芳達參加電視影集［Ally McBeal／艾莉的異想世界］演出, 擔任歌手角色, 受到歡迎

夏普為灌錄的原聲帶專輯［Songs from Ally McBeal］登上美國Billboard專輯榜＃７　拿到百萬白金唱片

國際亦暢銷　終於讓她嘗到走紅滋味。

１９９９年１１月, ３６歲的芳達乘勝追擊　推出［艾莉的異想世界］的第二張電視原聲帶專輯［Heart and Soul: New Songs from Ally McBeal］（550 Music／Sony Music Soundtrax發行）

仍舊收錄她在影集演唱之歌曲──五首為夏普創作

芳達參與１４首歌曲製作──其中４首與Mitchell Froom共同製作。

這回評價不如上一張，商業也下滑, 只登上美國Billboard專輯榜＃６０,

但仍拿下金唱片（５０萬張＋）, 銷售差強人意。

國際表現不錯；英國＃９　白金唱片（30萬+）

西班牙＃１６ 白金唱片（10萬+） 澳大利亞＃１７　白金唱片（7萬+）

德國＃１９　金唱片（15萬+） 瑞典＃７　金唱片（4萬+）

歐洲榜＃１９

全球賣出近２００萬張

大碟共推出五首實體／宣傳主打

其中之一為［Read Your Mind／看出你的心思］──這是專輯少數的全新創作之一。

由芳達與Mitchell Froom 譜寫, 並共同製作成一首流行搖滾, 旋律討好, 節奏輕快,

由於是宣傳單曲, ［Read Your Mind］並未打入排行榜

但卻是夏普一首頗獲好評的作品。
