"Can't Be Forever Young" is an album where Gotch realises that he can't go back to his teenage years and has to move forward. "Can't Be Forever Young" is a homage to "Beck", "Wilco", "Bright Eyes", "Neil Young" – and generally American indie from the 90’s when alternative music. Lyrics are swaying between hope and resignation, teaching us to see present events from perspective. About the cover, Gotch explained "In this scene, I’m heading to a funeral – my funeral. It’s a kind of requiem for my adolescence,[...] but shootings often take place in front of a barber shop, let’s not be too serious." Also, "The Long Goodbye" song's drums part had been modified for this album.
