Song #85
Tightrope by The Greatest Showman
It was released on December 8, 2017, by Atlantic Records
Fun Fact: "Tightrope" comes as P.T. Barnum takes off on tour with "Never Enough" singer Jenny Lind as The Greatest Showman enters its third act, leaving behind Charity and the couple's two daughters for the aristocratic glamour he always aspired for. At times delicate and rousing at others, "Tightrope" is a waltzing, emotional ballad performed by Michelle Williams' Charity that sets up Barnum's fall before his inevitable redemption. It accompanies a montage that juxtaposes the past and present of Jackman's lead, highlighting both how far he's come and how much he's strayed from his ideals.

All I wanted was you
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.
