About Mormon.in.the.90s Sound Effects

This is the title track from the 1995 EFY album Return With Honor — performed by Kenneth Cope, Michael Webb, and Julie de Azevedo, and produced by Embryo Records. It became an anthem for a generation of Latter-day Saint youth who were told they were saved for the final days — chosen, valiant, and born with a divine mission. The chorus still echoes: Return With Honor, Chosen Ones, Children of Promise, Your Time Has Come, A Royal Father so we may… Return With Honor. But for many Gen X and Millennial Mormons, this song also came with impossible expectations. We were told we were the chosen generation, saved for the last dispensation, held in reserve for nearly 6,000 years — destined for greatness. Now, decades later, many of us are burned out, deconstructing, and looking around wondering… were they talking about me? 🕊️✨ Drop a ❤️ if this brings it all back. Share it to keep the memory alive. #EFY #ReturnWithHonor #Mormon #LDS #LdsMusic #christianmusic
The EFY Medley arranged by Michael R. Hicks—this powerful mashup of As Sisters in Zion and Army of Helaman was written by an EFY counselor and quickly became the anthem of Testimony Night. If you were a 90s Mormon teen, this was a core memory: packed into the ballroom, arms around each other, singing your heart out like it was the most spiritual moment of your life. A total canon event. #EFY #BYU #Mormon #90sLDSNostalgia #latterdaysaint #ComeUntoChrist #especiallyforyouth #LDSMusic #MormonMusic #fsy #InspirationForYouth
Throwing it back to 1988 with Michael Webb’s “Don’t Ever Stop” from the EFY album Win the Race. This track was a cornerstone of 90s Mormon youth culture—uplifting, earnest, and full of that signature EFY energy. Webb’s voice, paired with Dan Truman’s composition, delivered a message of perseverance and faith that resonated deeply with teens navigating their spiritual journeys. It was more than just a song; it was an anthem for staying the course. While the lyrics emphasized unwavering commitment and spiritual endurance, they also reflect a time when messages were more one-size-fits-all. Listening now, it’s a heartfelt reminder of both the inspiration and the evolving understanding within our community. #EFY1988 #MichaelWebb #WinTheRace #MormonNostalgia #LDS90s #DontEverStop #ThrowbackTune #Mormon90s #lds #mormon #EFYClassics

What is your favorite EFY theme song? This gem comes from the summer of 1991! While EFY kids at BYU danced to this banger and bore testimony under the Wasatch sun, the rest of the world was watching Terminator 2, blasting Bryan Adams on cassette, and lining up for Super Nintendo. Beverly Hills, 90210 was shaping teen dreams, grunge was bubbling under the surface, and slap bracelets snapped on wrists across America. #LDSMusic #MormonMusic #90sLDSNostalgia #lds #latterdaysaint #ComeUntoChrist #LatterDaySaints #efy #especiallyforyouth #ChristCenteredLiving #InspirationForYouth #fsy #BYU #brighamyounguniversity
Walk On, the title track of Michael Webb’s groundbreaking album, marked a defining moment in LDS music and the launch of Highway Records. This soulful anthem of resilience and hope showcases Michael’s heartfelt delivery and deeply personal lyrics capturing the courage needed to keep moving forward through life’s challenges. The song not only defined the album but also inspired the Walk On concert tour, which brought its powerful message to audiences across the country, including Fullerton, California where I saw it. The tour highlighted Michael’s unique ability to connect with listeners, blending inspiring music with a deeply spiritual experience. The impact of “Walk On” reached even further when it was covered by Keni Yarbro for the “Return with Honor” EFY album, solidifying its place as one of the most iconic tracks in 90s LDS music. #WalkOn #MichaelWebb #WalkOnTour #HighwayRecords #LDSMusic #ReturnWithHonor #90sLDSNostalgia #FaithAndResilience #MormonInThe90s #StrengthThroughMusic #LDS #mormon #latterdaysaint
