NOW AVAILABLE! COMPLETE MP3 COLLECTIONS!
Music is a huge part of YC, with catchy tunes and deep, tough lyrics that edify and convict, providing a deeper understanding of both the Christian biblical worldview and its secular opposition.
The Master Collection features a sampling of songs from all YC Web musicals. Or listen to the entire soundtrack from a particular film!
​
* NOTE: some songs in these collections are villain or opposition songs; while equally impactful, they must be listened to in context of the character and his/her motivations in the story, and not as a song in praise of non-Christian beliefs or practices (especially if you are listening to soundtracks BEFORE seeing the film). There is no swearing in any songs, though some songs may contain mature themes, so parental discretion advised for younger listeners.
​
All songs composed and produced by Matt Kramer, and performed by the You Connection cast.
