Before you ever write such an article, I have a preliminary feeling about the shiver. I'd like to state it here and then see how close your take is.

Often when I get that shiver, it's immediately after a key statement in an internal dialogue. It's sort of like a cosmic highlighter pen saying "pay attention to this thing you just said to yourself".

It can also happen when I'm internalizing song lyrics. A few years ago I found myself getting that shiver (sometimes with tears) in response to Radiohead's The Tourist, where Thom Yorke sings "hey man, slow down, slow down ... idiot, slow down". This is just a variation on the same thing, it's still me having an internal dialogue, only there happens to be something external to myself supporting it.
