I don't listen to music while I write either, but I've had a similar experience to you. I've comes across songs that suit a character or their particular experience - it's usually random, while listening to the radio in my car while my thoughts are drifting, and it just clicks.

But so far, for me, music isn't part of my writing. I get too tangled in the notes, the lyrics, and the instruments for it to be of help to my writing process. :-)Barbara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547166495514562286noreply@blogger.com
