May December - Fatal Equation Soundtrack Song by Coolstar
May December is one of the most intimate and emotionally resonant tracks on the Fatal Equation soundtrack - a tender, bittersweet song that speaks directly to the age-gap romance at the heart of the novel. It suggests that those who frown at such relationships - should keeps their thoughts to themselves.
In Fatal Equation, Laura O'Brien (in her fifties) and Ali Kurmi (35) navigate a love that society tells them shouldn't work. May December captures that tension beautifully: the vulnerability of opening your heart to someone from a different generation, the fear of judgement, and the quiet defiance of choosing love anyway.

This is a track for anyone who has ever loved someone "inappropriate" - and discovered that the heart doesn't care about timelines, expectations, or what other people think. It's about finding connection in unexpected places, and having the courage to embrace it.
Lyrics (Excerpt)
Every day - when I wake up
I see you - I need you
Can't believe that it's really me
Here right beside you ...
No matter what they say
They can't take it away
Whatever goes
You never know
You never know
Chorus: May December
We just fell in love
Ahh - They say we're acting like fools
May December
Our hearts don't tell lies
Ahh - We know we've broken the rules
But come on - we've been thinking it through
The title May December is a classic phrase for age-gap relationships - one partner in the "spring" of life, the other in "winter". This song suggests that social commentators should keeps their opinions to themselves!
It's a song about defying convention and finding beauty in the unexpected - themes that run throughout Fatal Equation.
