Ehresman recalls: "This song is about the inability of some people to experience things in the moment.....instead, spending the entire time taking pictures or filming it on their phones (obliviously blocking the view of everyone else in the process). It's as if the thing being recorded doesn't actually exist in these people's minds until it's seen in replay after posting on-line. Some of these Facebook addicts have no regard for proper internet etiquette, like respecting if other people DON'T want pictures of themselves posted on-line. Just another addiction, or a sign of poor character.......? I say the latter."

lyrics

I Must Post!
(© 2015 Walter Ehresman)

It does not happen, if I don’t see it through my lens;
It never happened, if I can’t Share it with my Friends.

I must post!
I must post!

There are no boundaries; There are no rules;
I’ll snap my pictures, and post them anywhere I choose.

I must post!

Is it compulsion? Well, it has that kinda smell;
It is pervasive? Well, I’m kinda shocked that you can’t tell.
