Dude, Martin's vocals are fuckin' awesome. Listen, if you only expect singing voices that are immediately gratifying, then you need to widen your close-minded vocal tastes. Martin adds his own personality with his voice and holy shit does it work. Imo, his vocals don't take any "getting used to..." he's a good singer.

I love this song despite all the hate it gets. I listen for Chvrches, not just Lauren and this song is absolutely amazing.

I guarantee over 90% of the negative comments are Chvrches fans who either just recently got into them or have never been to a live show... Most of the actual concert goers will tell you "Under The Tide" is one of the most loved songs live as the energy is amazing with the crowd! Martin goes crazy on stage dancing like a lunatic and everyone just goes ape-sh*t! I will be honest as well and say yhat before seeing a show I thought the song was underwhelming. After being amidst the crowd during the song it has given it a whole new life and feel to it for me. Trust me when I say certain songs change after seeing the band live.

I'm hoping maybe for the next album we get to hear more of both Martin and Iain's vocals, as much as I love Lauren I love the band as a whole!

This is one of those songs that could be an hour long and I wouldn't even notice. I'd just be in a trance bobbing my head and tapping my foot to the beat. One of my top 5 Chvrches songs for sure.

So many negative comments. Not enough good ones. Chvrches is a band. It's not just Lauren. I think it's awesome that they put a music video out there that wasn't starring Lauren. Chvrches isn't like those other bands where only the front vocals should be known! All three members are important. Super cool video!! I'm glad Martin is the center of attention in this one.

I doubt the band will ever read this comment. But this song has very significant meaning to me. My dad passed away today 9 years ago. This song I played on repeat and helped me through his passing from cancer. I just want to say Thank You. I listened to it again today on repeat and will do so for many years to come.

I’m curious where are you at with the band 8 years later? I started listening in 2021 to How Not To Drown first, then the whole Screen Violence album and love it. I’m now going back through their catalog and love their music. I adore this band. They are so good!

Lot of people saying that this isn't "true" or "good" CHVRCHES because it's not Lauren singing, or that it's not really passionate when performed live or something to that effect. I couldn't disagree more. I've seen them live twice (first at Sasquatch 2013, second in Vancouver September 2013) and at the Vancouver show I was the first one in the venue and watched the whole thing right against the stage. They performed Under The Tide (back then just called "Tide") for one of the first times live and it was face-meltingly good. The amount of passion and fervor they all put into performing this song was palpable. Total chills all around. I love Lauren but she doesn't need to be the only singer to validate the band's music.

How about everyone shuts up about this guys voice? This is right up there with my favs from this album. Very good singer in my opinion. Super awesome song in general!

Martin's songs are some of my favorites, dude has a gorgeous voice. all three of them are just so talented and work together so well, they don't get nearly as much attention or praise as they deserve 🥺

Thanks Mr. Robot, pretty good song.

So many great songs on that album. This one is overlooked and under appreciated.

This is the second song I've heard from chvches so I though "hey cool, they swap the mic for different songs, and Im really enjoying this tune.. much more than that cliche ridden tune 'the mother we share', nice". Having read only a couple of the comments I gather that isnt actually the case. Let me say to the fans who are disappointed about Lauren not singing - try not to be so fickle about music. There's a comment here saying "we all came for her voice" and it has a lot of likes... that fucking sucks. Why is music all about just one pretty voice to so many people? I get it kinda cause I love the voice of Little Dragon but there's actually decent songwriting and sounds too. Idk, I just feel deflated to see this damn decent song thats different from what I expected to be hated on for the lamest most shallow of reasons. As long as mainstream audiences can only focus on a pretty voice, asses like Simon Cowell, dumb ass lyrics and culture sucking shows like the voice/country idol are gonna be prevalent. What Im trying to say here is, OPEN YO MINNNDSSS PEOPLE!

Sam I don't think my opinion is "unusual" considering people seem to agree and I don't really have a preference either way. Also, Im not telling you to open your mind to some conspiracy and really I have no idea why you bothered saying that. It's not really an effective point... I don't know why you are being defensive dude. When I said open your minds, its a suggestion to people to see this song for what it is, not just compare it to the chvches they knew and couldn't stand to see change (apparently). If you did that already then the message obviously isn't for you, and if you just don't like his voice or this song thats cool.

This song has become part of my life soundtrack - its been playing on repeat now for days. LOVE it! I love the lyrics, his voice, and how the music is both dreamy and danceable .

why is everybody so harsh on him, the song is actually pretty good. I have heard this song and Dead Air by them and think both songs are exceptional.

idk why this song is getting so much negative criticism, its awesome and very chvrch-y, funky synth pop. just because lauren isn't on the vocals doesnt mean chvrches is splitting up or something, don't be so ridiculous.

This is one of my faves off the album. Martin's fragile vox == perfect.

I'm a newbie to Churches. Only know leave a trace and decided to deep dive after years of being aware of them. First listen to this album and this was my favourite track. Confused by the comments saying it's hated lol. I love that I can hear the Scottish accent.

Lo Pan enjoys this song live done by Martin. So much energy this one has. Lo Pan's favorite song live is Science/Visions.

One of my favorite tracks from TBOWYB. Sounds a bit different from the album version, I still like it though. Some fuckwits don't understand that CHVRCHES is a band, not The Motherfucking Lauren Mayberry Experience. And no, they're not splitting up, this song was released in 2013. Just because Lauren's not singing in this song doesn't mean she's leaving the band.

You are so correct Amanda. Great post. I just heard of these guys yesterday and I have been listening to them for 20 hours straight! They are one of the most refreshing, unique, talented and mesmerizing bands to come out in the last 20 years. I will continue listening to them for another 20 hours probably. Kudos to Chvrches!!!! Luv all their stuff.

I have known Chvrches only for a year and it was an instant connection, became one of my favorite bands. And I don't understand why people don't appreciate Martin's singing as much as they should. Lauren is my Goddess but I appreciate all of them. All members are trully special and talented. And this song gets me into a dancing mood instantly. LOVE IT. Wish I could see them live and have this song on the setlist.

This song is great! I actually really liked that they switched it up and had him singing. That's why they're a band, it shouldn't be Lauren and Chvrches, just Chvrches. I think this was a great move, it freshen things up!

Personally, Martin's songs are some of my favourites. They have a really cool vibe and his voice fits really well.

For me, CHVRCHES best song.

one of my favorite song in the album, and Martin accent make the song even better! great job chvrches!!

This is just as amazing as a song that Lauren sings, cause Lauren is just one of the voices of Chvrches, just like the synth, the guy is awesome.

I wish this version was on the album, his voice to me is perfection

There is a sort of down-to-earth-realism in how martin expresses himself and in how this song manifests through him. His 'character' here and in the live-performances (but not just the high-energy in his dancing), embodies something of modern man. In this tune is the mantra taught to us by our fathers and father-figures, one we keep repeating to ourselves, to keep our heads up - to keep going. It doesn't just 'come to us', we have to keep saying it, pretend to be 'strong', and hope to God that that 'our heads are actually kept up'. At once, this tune exposes that bewildering symphony that is the marriage of three things (a) the realization of our inherent weakness - that we don't have power, (b) an ecstatic hope - of the grace that will carry us through, (c) a satisfaction of this way of things.

An absolutely amazing song, seeing it live was fantastic. The energy in the room was electric and Martin's dance moves are fucking solid.

Lauren has a great singing voice, yes, but, bypassing general fan expectations, Martin could sing lead on several of Chvrches' songs, and sing them WELL. And what is with the Lauren obsession? It's kinda creepy. She's as equal a member of the band as Iain and Martin, it's not like you're gonna marry her one day or some shit. The three are a rock solid band with a unique sound and they're going to continue doing whatever the fuck they want. Hopefully they'll share the lead mic more on future releases, I'd like to see where they would take things. (also iain plz)
