Not in a song on an album, but on Muse's video for New Born, the cut is really obvious at 3:11.

If you are focused on mistakes or errors, you are missing out on an awful lot of great music.
If you are listening to the notes, you are unable to hear the music. or song, it's passion and meaning.
The same as, If a person is Concentrating on the words I'm using, They are not listening to what I'm saying.
