1) Florencia "Flor" Caserta (born April 13, 1984) is an Argentine female pop and rock singer.
Caserta was born in El Palomar, Buenos Aires. She met Pablo Romero, singer of the band Árbol, who heard her singing and invited her to make a disc of covers from different bands from El Oeste (the western zone of Greater Buenos Aires). It was there that she recorded her first song, “Mañana en el Abasto”, by Sumo.
After that, they proposed that she record some demos of pop music. The process lasted two years, until they obtained five songs which they presented to producer Gustavo Santaolalla.
2) Flor is a musical project of vocalist Zachary Grace, bassist Dylan William, guitarist McKinley Kitts, and drummer Kyle Hill. Their musical style is described by them as a "blend of indie rock and synth pop into an atmospherically hooky sound".
The band got its start in Hood River, Oregon, when Grace experimented with electronic musical programs to make "ear catching synth sounds." William would then build tracks around these snippets, turning them into songs that, while based on 80s sounds, were updated for the 21st century. Flor would also work with photographer/designer Jade Ehlers, who made visuals for the band; meanwhile, William established himself as a producer working with Flor, as well as artists like Halsey and Lostboycrow. The band would release their debut single, "Heart," online in 2014, with the Sounds EP arriving that October. Following the release of the 2015 full-length Sights & Sounds, Flor signed to Fueled by Ramen in 2016, which reissued the Sounds EP that February. The band's first album for the label, come out. you're hiding, was released in May 2017. Featured on the album was the single "Guarded." After releasing a single in 2018 called "Get Behind This", they would later release the ley lines album, then the Reimagined EP on 2020 with a guest collaborator, MisterWives, on their cover of Coldplay's "Yellow". In 2022, they released the EP "Skate/Big Shot/Play Along", which contain 3 titular tracks that are planned to be released on their future album, Future Shine.
La Respuesta
Flor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando tengo que mirar
En el mundo del dolor
Todo vale y ya no hay más
Nadie puede asegurar
Que el amor te tocó
En el pecho y sin temblar
Dame la respuesta del por qué
El miedo a volar
Si yo estoy en un sol
Que te mira desde acá
Está bien el llorar
Si se puede evitar
Que el dolor te atrape
Y no te deje respirar
Que si sos lo que sos
Nadie puede asegurar
Que el amor te tocó
En el pecho y sin temblar
Dame la respuesta del por qué
El miedo a volar
Si yo estoy en un sol
Que te mira desde acá
Si no soy lo que soy
Cuando tengo que mirar
En el mundo del dolor
Todo vale y ya no hay más
Que si sos lo que sos
Nadie puede asegurar
Que el amor te tocó
En el pecho y sin temblar
Dame la respuesta del por qué
El miedo a volar
Si yo estoy en un sol
Que te mira desde acá
Si no soy lo que soy
Cuando tengo que mirar
En el mundo del dolor
Todo vale y ya no hay más
The lyrics of Flor's song La Respuesta theme around the idea of identity, pain, love and fear. In the first stanza, the lyrics suggest that in a world of pain, anything goes, and everything loses its worth. It talks about the need to look inward to understand oneself better, to find the answer to the question, "if I am not what I am, then who am I?" The lyrics suggest that one may question their identity even more when confronted by the pain and sufferings of the world.
The second stanza talks about the uncertainty of love, suggesting that one can never be sure of its authenticity. The singer questions, "can anyone assure me that love has touched me without a single tremble in my heart?" It suggests that even though love may be present, one may still hold some fear. In the chorus, the singer asks for answers to the questions "why are we afraid to fly when we're standing in the sun that shines on us" while acknowledging that it is okay to cry, but also to avoid getting trapped in pain, so as not to hinder one's growth or progress.
Overall, the lyrics of La Respuesta convey the message that it is okay to question oneself and one's identity. Pain and love can be strong catalysts in understanding oneself better, but it's vital not to get stuck in those emotions and to continue moving forward.
