I open this to mention Fred again, but you already did.
That Tracy Chapman Fast Car duet with Luke Combs on the Grammys got me. I remember listening to Fast Car when it came out and relating to it in a big way. Mainly because I was very young, married with a child, broke, and scared to death I wouldn't be able to give my family a good life. All these years later, it was great to see that Tracy is ok, and so are we.

I don't think I've ever cried because of a song but I love pg.lost's album "oscillate"
Off the to of my head

Todd Snider - Long Year / Sunshine
There is so much music they moves us, so it's hard to pick one, especially for me. Because of that, I'll choose one that I haven't seen yet but deeply hits me hard: John Coltrrane's "A Love Supreme". It came at the peak of his career. The first three parts were supple, mysterious, joyful sparkles of light, like dragonflies and butterflies dashing and fluttering on a beautiful summer day. Pure smiles, floating heart stuff. Then the final act hits. It's a prayer of gratitude and reverence, a reflection of the magesty of existence. It gripped my head and heart, leaving me vulnerable and open, crying in awe.
I love this album with all my heart. And yes, it makes me weep in rapture every time I hear it.

I always get goosebumps toward the end of Hurry, Hurry by Air Traffic Controller (Spotify link). I love the song and even though it's upbeat the message is poignant.
The tear-jerker songs? Brandi Carlile has a few, The Joke, and the opening track on the Highwomen album (that album has a few). And every single time, the Julie Miller track Rachel makes me cry, also Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris.
Feeling music deeply in general though? No you are not alone. It varies among people, most of us do some of the time, some of us do most of the time.
Motion City Soundtrack - Everything is Alright
"The chicken" by Bo Burnham. Don't be fooled by that title.
Caligula's Horse. I saw them live for the first time recently. I am left speechless, probably the closest thing to a religious experience I'll ever have.
for me it is Nightwish:
