Help with writing inspiration

[colorguard28.livejournal.com]

I've been struggling with writing lately, and I think it's because I haven't found the right musical marinade for my current stories. So I figured I'd see if I could get some help from the wonderful KMP writers. :)

When I was writing Razor's Edge, especially in the latter stages of the story, I let my brain soak in Missy Higgins' "Where I Stood" while I was writing. I had been reminded of the song while watching Recoil and the more I listened to it, the more I realized it captured the Tony/Tim/Abby dynamic I was trying to write in RE. So I started putting it on repeat while writing with some really good results.

So I'm looking for some song recommendations for a few current and future stories. I'll give the themes, rather than the plots. These aren't all T2 fics, or even all NCIS, and I'm not going to say which themes go with which stories because I don't want to influence suggestions.

- Torn between two paths, one that the head suggests and one the heart suggests
- Making a difficult choice
- Forcing yourself to step back and let somebody make their own mistakes
- Having to trust somebody who's hurt you before
- Hiding something from the person you love to protect them
- Making a unexpected choice that shatters people's perceptions of you, even your perception of yourself

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!
