This is really cool its kind of like barbershop quartet meets the baroque pop of the late '60s Beach Boys.

I'm thinking the wrapping paper is kind of like the paper bag floating around in American Beauty, the way it blows around wildly by the direction of the wind. That's where he is at now that the constant in his life is gone.

The picture that reminds him of old times is the fixed contrast to the wrapping paper, since it is staying in one place and always getting him nostalgic for the past while presently he is directionless.
