Yeah, all the time! Especially with certain pieces of classical music, it takes my breath away like nothing else. Coldplay's Clocks also has that effect on me - I can't just casually listen to it or have it on in the background, whenever it comes on I'm get completely consumed by it.

The whole A Rush of Blood to the Head album is awesome!

There's this composer named Eric Whitacre. He writes mostly a capella choral pieces. Sometimes the harmonies hover at this tone that is so sublime it makes your throat ache. I got to sing one of the songs, Lux Aurumque, when I was a music major at the university, with our enormous choir, and just before the end of the school year, I sat in the audience and listened to the choir sing Cloudburst. Another good Whitacre song is Water Night.
