What happened to the kids dad? At the end of the video, The mom comes into the room, and sees the kid over by the "Holo Box"

I haven't seen the video in years, but I remember it well. Judging by some of the lyrics, I've always interpreted it as a message from a lost loved one to his family warning of a dark future. That's a really generic view, I know. I'm remarkably lazy today. :)
Trivia: Name the lead singer of Mike and The Mechanics. Hint: he briefy sang lead for Squeeze in the early 80s and a had a huge hit in the 70s with pub-rockers Ace.

Easy one! That's Paul Carrack, who sang "Tempted" for Squeeze, not to mention "I Need You" and "Don't Shed A Tear" as a solo artist in the 80s.
