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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel you near me
I can feel you close
Are you with me?
Please, say you're with me
I can't be alone
Can't be my sin
Are these feelings I long for
Best left unsaid?
You can read me
Oh, I know you read me
You get in my head
I won't keep it
I won't keep it to myself
You've won again
Can't be my selfish nature
Can't be my sin
Are these feelings I long for
Best left unsaid?
Nothing hurts when you hide away
Let 'em in and they'll bring the pain
But something about you feels okay
Comfort can't help me grow up anyways
Can't be my...
Best left unsaid
Left unsaid
Can't be my selfish nature
Can't be my sin
(Can't be my...)
Are these feelings I long for
Best left unsaid?
(Left unsaid?)
Best left unsaid?
Flor's song "Unsaid" is an emotionally vulnerable track that addresses the fear of being alone and the fear of opening up to someone. The lyrics directly ask the question "Are you near me?" and constantly express a longing to be with someone, seeking reassurance for the fear of being alone. The lines "Can't be my selfish nature, Can't be my sin" seem to show a secondary fear of being rejected for one's own flaws, leading to the question of whether these feelings of longing are better left unsaid. The lyrics illustrate the internal push-and-pull of wanting to be heard and understood while also hiding away for fear of rejection.
The line "Nothing hurts when you hide away, let 'em in and they'll bring the pain" suggests that the fear of opening up to someone comes from the fear of being hurt or rejected. However, the following line "something about you feels okay, comfort can't help me grow up anyways" shows the longing for connection and comfort. The repeated phrase "best left unsaid" throughout the song serves as a reflective question that the subject is asking themselves. In essence, the song expresses the feelings of fear and vulnerability that comes with opening up to someone and the internal battle of wanting to connect and the fear of being rejected or hurt.

I just realized this song was released on youtube in the exact same day my heart was broken.
I discovered Flor randomly during that time and ever since then I've held this band in my heart as something I found during one of my worse moments. Time flew by, I still love Flor and I'm feeling much better.
You are amazing (you too, person who's reading this), don't ever let anyone make you feel otherwise <3

It has taken me a year of listening to this album obsessively to realize this is my new favorite. Nothing beats it... every single song on this album is just stunning.
@madeleinep.828
Man, I just really love indie pop.
@shitluck4862
this sounds like the song that would be playing at a highschool dance and you’re sitting in a chair by yourself and this person walks up to you and you take his/her hand and you and him/her slow dance in the bathroom and this song is playing
@clonk_
I listened to the whole album on Spotify yesterday as soon as I got home. This song was undoubtedly my favourite :D
