Culture Club ~ Time (Clock Of The Heart) 1982 Extended Meow Mix

- After "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" hit big across the world, everyone knew who Boy George was. There was such a rush of singles that spring you could hear three different songs by the group on the radio within an hour!
One of those singles , "Time (Clock Of The Heart)" was recorded after the release of their debut album and while it was added to future pressings for a total of 10 songs from second run. However they omitted the song on the sleeve and label but had added the song as the first track on Side 2. So if you ran out and bought new when the soulful reggae of "Do You Really Want..." first hit, this song is not included.
It was the second single issued, peaking at #2 unable to overcome that movie theme from "Flashdance" for two weeks. The record label was getting ready to release a second single, but Culture Club had recorded the new song and felt it would be a stronger song than anything else on "Kissing To Be Clever". The executives heartily agreed and issued the single.
The third single issued was "I'll Tumble For Ya" proved the band could successfully chose their own singles. It peaked at #9 in the US. Later on that same year, they released their "Colour By Numbers" LP and it gave them their first US #1 hit, "Karma Chameleon".
The group faded a bit after that and with the diminishing interest in the band "The War Song" only got to #17. Their last pop hit was "Move Away" in 1986 with the band dissolved. Boy George had a major hit with the Pet Shop Boys produced "The Crying Game" and turned it into a surprisingly hypnotizing #15 pop hit.
1998 got the band back together for a VH1 Storytellers episode and have continued to record and tour, their latest news had the band playing Wembley in December of 2020 and broadcast around the world live streaming in response to the covid pandemic. After the recent ABBA album, it might be fun to hear some new material, I am in the mood for reminiscing you know, new music from old friends?

What a talent 💕🔥
This is one of the best songs ever recorded… ! The 80’s were completely sublime!!!
It was all digital in 80’s!
💯
They certainly were!!!!
Agreed - the best songs. People actually sang- no autotune.
Agreed
It hurts that I will never see this era again , people that meant the most to me is in the past 😢😢
So true Beverly, difficult days were eased by real songs from real people, with real instruments! Every day is a NEW day, the water has passed under that bridge. Keep it real, and enjoy the moment (not easy at times). Wish you good, in all you do. Peace and one love.
I agree
We’re here for you buddy
I feel the same way .
I know that feeling, and we care about you, you're not alone. Take care,❤😊❤.
One can really appreciate the instrumental work involved in the first minute.
INDEED!!!!!!! It's DOPE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely!!! Brings chills 😉
@@djbille4283 I thought i was the only one with chills. Such a beautiful song.
42 years later and still sounds as good as ever 😊
Yes!!!
@Ｍr.soulfunkbrotherさん
時が止まったように、変わらず美しいですね😊✨️（As beatiful as time has sttoped）
This is the kind of music I remember nowadays it's nothing but garbage rap.
I hate rap music. It sounds like two dogs doing it to each other in the backyard. If you get my point. This was when music was good !
Still listening in 2024 and sound just as great as when I first heard it. Great memories.. We will never hear music as beautiful as this and others anymore. 💯🤷🏾♂️
The best Culture Club song ever. So worthy of this sophisticated Extended Mix. Brilliant. ❤️
Agreed❤
It really is!
My favorite song of culture club❤
by far the their best song!
Absolutely! Give me 7 1/2 minutes of this and I'm a happy camper.
George O”Dowd was a fantastic soulful singer back in the day. Everybody got preoccupied with the whole Boy George look but his music and band created some of the best pop music of the early 80s. A bIg shout out to Helen Terry who sang back up on many of their classics too
I Never Heard This One. I'm Going To Have To Check Out Their Stuff!
I think Boy George is still soulful to this day, alot of voices out there, but there is only Boy George and one CC!!
All of the voices and musical instruments make this song outstanding.
I don't know why your comment reminded me of his song, "Don't Take My Mind on a Trip". I had the "cassingle" and played the heck out of it! I've gotta go look that up. 😁
Totally agree. There's no denying BG talent as singer, writer and composer. A nemorable song of that glorious era.
I Saw Culture Club at the Philadelphia Spectrum. I went by myself and scalped a ticket in the parking lot. No regrets. The show was fantastic!
This was my first exposure to a transgender person. I thought for sure it was a girl until my older brothers and sisters pointed out just was a boy dressed like a girl . I love the song he did for the movie the crying game. That was such a sad movie and the song is incredible.
@@brucemcclure1315similar experience with not knowing and siblings pointing it out but it was interesting how there were so many bands and artists that were using makeup and it was even heteronormative. Weird how time can change tolerance in both directions…
Woahh, Lucky you 🌷
@@brucemcclure1315George is Not transgender!!!
He's s a man who likes to dress up and has no boundaries when it comes to presenting himself to the public but he has never introduced himself as transgender.
His music is golden for sure and transgenerational 😉
Long live the spectrum. Shame they tore it down.
I do not care what anybody says Boy George is one of the best pop singers ever. Nobody sounds like Boy George when he sings......
I'm sitting here 40 years later saying the same thing❤❤❤he evokes feelings in me that no other artist can❤
I Concur ❤
Every time I've seen CC live, I have shed tears of strong emotion. Great song writing.. great talent, a very real soul George O Dowd..
An incredible voice
agree🙋♂️
My favorite Culture Club song. It's so classy and lush. The early 80s had some gorgeous sophisticated pop music and I was glad to be there for all of it!
Exactly! The strings are gorgeous!
I had the privilege to start my own DJ business way back in 1983 to 1991 and enjoyed every minute...
This 80's era of music was the greatest ever... So many great artists😊....
I did this in Sydney & Melbourne Australia...
Was booked months ahead after the first year of DJ ING alone...loved it...
Sold my business in 1992, but kept all my vinyl precious records....
I'm so happy I did....😊😊
80s was everything, the music, the fashion, disco and clubbing. No smart phones, just living in real time.
Your so right!
Yeah, I hear ya!
I agree with you all the way. Technology has put a distance between us . Mankind. It's getting worst as time goes by . It's 2024. I wonder in 2030. It would more distant. Worst. But it is what it is. Life goes on. Life is about changes
The world was at peak performance for sure. Something about that decade made me think of hope.
😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Simply as Lemmon aid ice tea and ice cream, apple pie baseball Chevrolet and the boy and girl... next-door...
The Sherri Shephard show bought me here today . Boy George was a guest . I can’t believe it is 42 years later . I was a freshman in high school when this was released . Song still holds up after 4 decades
Their best song without a doubt. Simply lush and wonderful.
Yet a song no one mentions! A pity!!
yes
@@JCesar-xf2bk every Black person does this was our song
@@KennyFame Really!? Why this song in particular? That's interesting!
Boy George and Culture Club were one of the highlight performers of the 80's. They were something really special. They are still loved.
Great extended version. Not overdone or needlessly repetitive. Flows well and feels like IT was the original version. My favorite Culture Club song.
Beautiful song! One of the greatest ever written. Thank you Boy George
Whoever wrote/created the different parts for all these instruments to play together is really amazing. The string line was stunning!..it supports the Vocal yet it was commanding without over powering the Vocal. The bass line was very groovy...not busy all the time but with enough gap in between the notes to give the beautiful 'flavour' required. The Melody of the vocal is quite simple, but the arrangement propelled it high.
What a power house of a band they were back in the 1980s.
He was only 20 when he wrote this. Incredible talent.
20!! Wow!!
@colleensmith723, I know right 😮
There's one problem though, and that's all of the talented people connected to Hollywood are being exploited and dragged through the satanic cult in case you don't know what's really going on and how they got to where they are
The more you want to accomplish, the more you have to give to the cult, ESPECIALLY if you want to be PRESIDENT
So according to the insider who leaked the info, there really is corruption within our government. This corruption won't always go on because God's going to one day clean house and turn the government over into the hands of those he wants to run it
42 years ago!!!
WOW !!! That's serious.
This song is so underrated and underappreciated
I love this particular mix!
Those strings are MAGICAL and so is this remix. Good job! 👍🏾
I agree! Great job!
I agree too absolutely magical
I’m so glad I was born in 63 lived through 70/80/90s music always been a fan life without music to me would be intolerable! God bless you all keep safe much love ! 🙏🏻👍🏻😉
I remember when Do You Really Want To Hurt Me came out, I was waiting on line with my Dad to check out at some store in a local mall and this song was on MTV on a TV above the cashier. He turned and looked down at me, pointed to the screen and told me, "Look, it's Boy George. He sounds like Smokey Robinson." I smiled and nodded.
Great quote 😊 it must have been epic seeing all those bands pop up practicaly at the same time. Culture Club, Duran, Kajagoogoo, ABC..
I don't think I'd compare Boy George to Smokey Robinson but this song called Time is a classic.
"Time (Clock Of The Heart)" is my favorite Culture Club song. Even 39 years later, the lyrics stir strong emotions, especially the way Boy George sings them.
The Bonnie Raitt song "Nick Of Time" is another example of great lyrics.
And, also during the 80s, Rush's "Time Stand Still" has great lyrics & the wonderful Amiee Mann doing backup vox! 👍👍
🎤 Mine too 💚
I totally agree with everything you said ! Especially Bonnie Raitt's songs "Nick of Time" & "I Can't Make You Love Me" ! 100% Classics !
A classic from culture club 😂😂😂
This is what happened when the British kids born in the 50's listened to the Motown, Stax, and Lamont-Dozier records their parents owned...early 80's British Pop! And THIS band, imo, absolutely NAILED IT with THIS song. The vocals, the longing progression, and those SWEET, sweet strings arrangements...my god, I MISS songs like THIS...CLASSIC!
Timeless song!!!! 😍😍😍😍❤👍👍👍🙋♂️🇲🇽
It tells a story like gold baby a great groove to thy heart yo
God I can remember this like it was yesterday. Great times theses was. Boy George and the culture club. Music was spectacular than and still is just as beautiful now and then. ♾️✌️💯
I wake up every morning 🌞🌄 to this timeless classic good enough to soothe me ,wakes me up, and keep me going with a smile in my face🥰
❤
❤
Mi viene solo una parola : CAPOLAVORO
SI.🎉🎉🎉
One of their sweetest tunes ever!
CRIMINALLY Underrated timeless Masterpiece ❤ 🎵
No doubt about that!!!! Masterpiece!!
This still hits hard!!! Love it 💕
The 80s should’ve NEVER LEFT; the farther it gets the more my heart breaks ❤️😢❤️😢❤️😢❤️😢❤️ emotionally ❤️😢❤️😢❤️😢❤️😢
It’s still the 80’s for me and that decade never left for me I’m still figuring out stuff I didn’t know that happened in the 80’s.
Agreed
I love this song it brings back beautiful memories ❤💕💖
The intro to this beautiful song is joyful.
Song ages really well.
Loved it! I love the violins! The arrangement was awesome! You never disappoint!!
Listening to this for the millionth time...I just love the background strings, the sax, and the bells.
My absolute favourite of all the Culture Club songs, by far. The strings, oh my... they sound *glorious* on this version! Thank you for creating and sharing this one!
This is a classic that will stand the test of time. A truly beautiful composition sung by an exceptional vocalist in Boy George. This hits me right in the heart light ❤
I listen to it. I just ❤❤love it
Beautiful Culture Club Classic !!!
This band had an impressive cultural following. One of those iconic bands of the 80’s.
A Club, even. 😉
I love that bass, such a great tune, nobody disrespects Boy George around me.
❤Will Never Stop Loving "Time"❤❤❤
This is my all Time Favorit Culture Club Song 💙
@@benjamincarter1884 exactly, me too
Wasn't aware this one till I saw it now 80s now my fave anything by c c or psb simple minds style council long hot summer 80s all over
Same here and Miss Me Blind
@@purplelove010 me too
One of the songs that slowly started the rise of the MTV Era.
They don't make music like this anymore,sure a good message too.Glad I grew up with such good music like this.Listened to it 3 times.
Time..such an appropriate title for this masterpiece. Completely encapsulates the time we were living in. Reminds me of my time in Miami during the coke ward 😂
I don't exactly know what it is about this tune but it's really something fabulous.
I saw Culture Club also in Philadelphia my boyfriend took me to see Boy George it was the best nite of my life can't believe I was just 16 miss the 80's
80s was the best!❤
If Boy George was around now with the acceptance that we have today , the group would be HUGE ! ! !
That’s for sure!
Regarding this so-called "acceptance" thing, wait until Judgment Day because those who support abominations won't have a leg to stand on

I have always loved this song.
Boy George has a voice like a bouquet of Roses 🌹
Los 80's ... Esta melodía me transporta a esos años y personas que ahora no están y los que están, están viejos o enfermos... Que triste cuando vez que el mundo cada vez es peor y el tiempo pasa tan rápido!😢
Awesome
This is one of the most beautiful remixes of one of my favorite songs. Wow I was 21 years old. Now I’m 60 years young. Wow….. Time
21/60, me too.
Where did it go?
@@fotografere2968 I often wonder too. Seems like yesterday hmmm 🤔
@@fotografere2968 😊aww 😊
La pop Anglaise come on l'aimait dans les 80.
Une merveille.
Magnificent! Brings back fond memories of high school in the early 80s.
This was so beautiful. I never heard a song so beautifully rework.
The 80' s were such a unique time. Great tune.
This is Culture Club with Boy George Biggest Track. Love It Gentlemen.
Such a tune ❤️
Luv the 80s, Boy George and Culture Club 😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💕🎶
This track was always my favorite by Culture Club. Reminded me of the Phil Spector “Wall of Sound”, but for the New Wave era. Well done!
Yes indeed! A number of New Wave bands, Electro-pop groups & singers channeled the Motown & early 60s vibe. (which also highlights why so much music since the 90s has sucked...it doesn't reference the great music that came before...it doesn''t contribute to the timeline of creativity in popular or alternative music)
Culture Club, Duran Duran and Madonna were the first voices of what ushered in the '1980's' Great high school memories coming back!
Prince
@@dartanya2 yeah definitely Prince
You Never Fukkin Lied!
Forget Madonna. I never liked her stuff.
Prince, David Bowie, and Michael Jackson fits in there somewhere too
UA-cam just dropped this on my broken heart…. 💔🖤❤️AMAZING!!! Very nice rework/edit/mix👌
Legend never die ,until you forget them .😎
An absolute masterpiece of a song.
Love love love this song!!!❤️❤️❤️
This song is loved by ALL
JUST A CLASSIC W A SOULFUL BOY GEORGE VOICE!
I listen to Time, instrumental version every day while driving. Great choice, DJDISCOCAT.
My favourite Culture Club song ❤️
Love this extended version, with the extra instrumental sound. 🫡
I love ❤️ this song
Real good hands down
I wish this version was on Spotify
Sooo good I played it 3 time straight!!!!!

it was the most greatest and beautiful song from culture club Every time i hear it turns me so back to sweet yesterday that i do not want to go back to today this is magic that never gone
..con un nudo en la garganta y mis ojos empapados de alegría y nostalgia al recordar una de las mejores canciones de los años 1980s..Boy George and Culture Club furor in Chile 1980s..🇨🇱
Esta cancion la escuchaba en radio imagina 88.1 y era espectacular escucharlo asi de la nada, grandes recuerdos, Saludos desde chile.
Oh what a track the strings, the baseline and the superb vocals and then that sax takes me back to a special time the 80s were a wonderful time ⏲
One of their best!
Boy George is just a great singer, love his voice ❤❤
This music was so ahead of its time, I remember being a junior in high school, this hit transcended all genres.
Smooth bassline & Boy George with that undeniable delivery, how I miss the 80’s
Just timeless!
Love this song, lots of memories back in this era ❤
Love the sax interlude and the church bells. What a great remix. Thank you DJDiscoCat!
I love his music can listen to him all day.
