I'll Never Forget You
Birdy Lyrics
Eighty-Six Charlie came over
He asked me for a favor
Asked me a question
Asked me to make an exception
Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back
Said he'd been thinking it over
Said he's had a change of heart
He thinks he's made a grave mistake
I'll never forget you
You make things so easy
I'll never forget you
Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back, he came back
Sat down at the table, and for the last time
Said he's finally made up his mind
He wonders if it's not too late
It's not too late because
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
You made me so angry
I'll never forget you

2) A pseudonym of Xavier Duquesne (b. 1972, Paris France - aka Last.FM user 'DjBirdy'), who first got in touch with electronic music in the year 1989, during a trip to Detroit where he spent most of his time in underground clubs.
A few years later, he started working for various party organizers in Lyon and began to spin records at private rave parties. Famous French Progressive DJ Max Le Sale Gosse then decided to book him for an official party. And his career took a big step forward. His skills brought him up to play in clubs like Space and Fridge in Lyon and abroad in Spain and Lithuania, among other locations.
Recently he met with Nûgen, a talented French progressive house producer, and became part of the Nu-records label. Its on Nu Recs that Birdy released his first Dj-set album.
After settling down in Paris, he played at Folies Pigale, Vinyl, Batofar, les Bains Douches, took part in the huge Techno Parade, and currently organizes private events going towards progressive sounds, inspired by artists like Timo Maas, Francesco Farfa, Sasha, Digweed, Luke Dzierzek or Chris Lake… Together with Nûgen they performed at Morphismes’s parties « Quattrocento » which soon became the best progressive house parties in Paris.
2006 took a new turn with the birth of the Connected Parties, along with deejays Faskil, Be (KRM, Atlant rec.) and Boombatcha, Uk (Sumsonic). Already a huge success, those parties have an unmatchable family spirit.
2007 now see his first collaboration with Faskil as a remixer with the release of Guillaume Nyckees’s Elision, which remain 1st download for over a month on Resonant Vibes

Eighty-Six Charlie came over.
He asked me for a favour.
Asked me a question.
Asked me to make an exception.
Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back.
Said he'd been thinking it over.
Said he's had a change of heart.
He thinks he's made a grave mistake.
But I, I'll never forget you,
I'll never forget you,
You make things so easy,
I'll never forget you.
Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back, he came back.
Sat down at the table, and for the last time,
Said he's finally made up his mind.
He wonders if it's not too late,
It's not too late because,
I'll never forget you,
I'll never forget you,
You made me so angry,
I'll never forget you.
birdy - i'll never forget you
auri
Truly this song spills out my feelings,
I love you
But... it's over
I'll never forget you.
Please don't forget me.
No no you should be happy
But I should be too
So why is it only you that's happy?
Why can't you let me be happy?
I love you so much
But somehow I can't move on
Please don't leave me
I feel like you already left
I'm sorry..
Giacomo Del Rey

This is actually a cover of Francis and The Lights song, "I'll Never Forget You". 'Eighty six' refers to a loose term used sometimes in restaurants meaning 'to remove an item off the menu'. It likely has it origins to the Article 86 New York Liquor Code of the 40's wherein circumstances were described when alcohol was not to be served to a customer.
This song deals with the ending of a complicated love affair. 86 Charlie removed himself as an available option on her love 'menu' likely due to it being a type of love triangle or extra-marrital affair.
They both have had this discussion with each other before and knew the moment was inevitable when the relationship was finally going to be ended. She's not really angry or hurted. Nor is she disappointed. She is just depressed that she may never again refer to him again as her lover - He's not available to her anymore.

Thank you for clearing it for me! Outstanding voice and tune!
Penrose
THANK YOU! Love the vibe of the song but never understood the overall picture drawn by Birdie. You put it in beautiful words :)
Sia Damae
jd619 why would it just be a love triangle or an extra-marrital affair? sometimes loving someone is just not enough I've heard. Perhaps that's the reason that someone is not available anymore... who knows ? but that was a great comment anyway. I've been trying for a long time to see what this song means.
Reality Smith
jd619 sums it up perfectly. thank you
