Frank "Son" Seals (August 13, 1942 – December 20, 2004) was an American electric blues guitarist and singer.
He was born in Osceola, Arkansas where his father, Jim "Son" Seals, owned a small juke joint. He began performing professionally by the age of 13, first as a drummer with Robert Nighthawk, and later as a guitarist. At age 16, he began to play at the T-99, a local upper echelon club, with Walter Jefferson, “Little Walter”, who was his brother in law. At the T-99, he played with many other musicians, such as Albert King, Rufus Thomas, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, and Rosco Gordon. Their varying styles contributed to the development of Seals' own playing techniques. While playing at the T-99, he was also introduced to country-western music by Jimmy Grubbs, who would ask Seals to gig with his group every now and then on both drums and guitar. At 19 years old, he formed his own band to fill in at a local club in Osceola called the Rebel Club. Shortly thereafter, a man from Little Rock, Arkansas came to find “Little Walter” for a gig at his club, but when he turned it down the offer went to Seals. The band members were “Old man Horse” (Johnny Moore) on piano, Alvin Goodberry on either drums, guitar, bass, or piano, “Little Bob” (Robinson) on vocals, and Walter Lee “Skinny Dynamo” Harris on piano. The band’s name was “Son Seals and the Upsetters.”
"Bad Blood" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, from her fifth studio album 1989 (2014). The album and remixed version of the song, with the latter featuring American rapper Kendrick Lamar, was released on May 17, 2015, by Republic Records as 1989's fourth single. The album version was written by Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback, with Lamar writing his verses on the remixed version. The lyrics of "Bad Blood" describe the betrayal of a close friend. The album version is the eighth track of 1989.
The remixed version received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production and Lamar's guest verses. The song reached number-one in Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Scotland, and the United States, becoming the third song from 1989 to do so. The accompanying music video was directed by Joseph Kahn and features an ensemble cast. The video previously held the 24-Hour Vevo Record with 20.1 million views, before being surpassed by Adele's "Hello". It won Video of the Year and Best Collaboration at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. The song and its music video were nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video at the 58th Grammy Awards.

Bad Blood is an album by Gerling, released in 2003.
I been out on the road a mighty long time
Couldn't wait to get back home and see that woman of mine
But when I finally got there, I found a letter instead
I picked it up and read it, and this is what it said-
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Well I hope that you understand,
I found another man, dear Son.
Tried to figure out where she went, I didn't have a clue
She not only took her coffee cup, but she took her coffee too
The only thing that she left behind were written by her pen
I picked up that old sad note, and read those words again-
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Well I hope that you understand,
I found another man, dear Son.
I thought that she was diff'rent, a little quiet, a little shy
'Til that day that she ran off and found another guy
I didn't know what I did to make her disappear
To leave my with this lousy note, crying in my beer-
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Well I hope you understand,
I found another man, dear Son.
Now if you ever see her, make sure you treat her right
Don't always be trying to link, make sure that you're home at night
And don't ever let her catch you with Sally, Betty or Sue
'Cause you'll end with with a note, a note addressed to you
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Dear Son, I'm sorry baby, I'm movin' on
Well I hope that you understand,
