"Make a Move" is Incubus lending their muscle to the soundtrack of the film Stealth in 2005, and it's got a clever trick up its sleeve. The guitar and bass riffs sit in E minor while Brandon Boyd sings his melody in E major, with the notes arranged so the clashing thirds never land on top of each other. The result has a strange, restless tension, a song pulling two ways at once without ever quite coming apart.
All five members share the writing credit, and it made it to number 17 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart.
