Where's My Motivation?

I'v been putting off writing one of the key scenes in the novel I'm working on, knowing that when the time is right, I'll know. I'll hear that song that's going to get me where I need to be to put what's in my head into my heart, and then into a word doc.  Kinda like in the Fifities when a girl wouldn't go all the way until she heard "the song".  At least that's how it was on Happy Days. Wa, Wa, Wa.

I've always been a huge fan of Alice in Chains and while I'm driving home from work, scanning the channels looking for tunes, because I'm in all out novel writing mode and you never know when a song might inspire, WHAMMO, this song comes on. Chills go up my spine, sinuses burn, and I know 100% that this was what I've been wating for. It brings me to that place deep in my mind's world of hurt.

The lyrics, music, changes in dynamics, and the eerie feeling that Layne Staley is dead but this sounds like his spirit is singing with them, let's me know I can go all the way.
