According to Daniel Johns the songs meaning is, “It’s about an execution I saw on telly… I got this video of an execution, and I just saw it, and I was watching it one night, and I had a dream about it, and I woke up and thought, ‘Oh yeah, that’s pretty cool’, and I wrote a song about it.” This song is the only Frogstomp song that the band still played live in the years prior to the bands “indefinite hibernation” in 2011. “Israel’s Son” is one of four songs on the album written solely by Johns.
