Songs That Are Icemav Coded

Songs that are Icemav coded

Okay, so you'll have to hear me out, but the song "Tightrope" from The Greatest Showman is so Icemav-coded; every time I listen to it, it's all I can think of.

"Hand in my hand, and we promised to never let go" would so be Ice's hope that they would always be wingmen and how he doesn't want to lose Maverick.

"Will you catch me if I should fall?" is so Maverick worrying if Ice will still want him when he's at worst (or when Bradley leaves after the whole paper-pulling mess).

"And I risk it all for this life we choose" describes both of their worries with the risks their relationship poses (fuck DADT) and how they're both risking their entire careers and lives to be together in secret.

Also, I think the whole "we're walking the tightrope" applies to their relationship because they go from being in a safe place but the next move they make, they could end up on the ground.

"If clarity's in death, then why won't this die? Years of tearing down our banners, you and I. Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts, give me back my girlhood, it was mine first."

TOM CRUISE as Stefen Djordjevic, All the Right Moves (1983), dir Michael Chapman

"There's no fight we cannot win, Just you and I defying gravity With you and I, defying gravity They'll never bring us down."

Goose: Mav, you want to know who the best is? That's him: Iceman. It's the way he flies, ice cold, no mistakes.

Maverick looking at Ice: "Helpless" from Hamilton starts playing.

I was listening to the Mamma Mia 2 soundtrack again and I got Icemav thoughts:

If "Andate, Andate," is Maverick to Ice, then "The Name of the Game" is Ice to Maverick.
