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.

Flor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Light sleeper, late night glow
I'll be your song breathe, repeat, be fine
Read between fine lines
I keep drawing my own
Pick up speed you call to me, no
Take a seat
And take with me
Everything that I've worked for
Oh I'm still standing still still standing
In the dark we've come to know
In the dark with no control still standing
Still standing still
In the nothingness, at least we're not alone
It feels like home
All I wanna do is give what I got
Let it out, let it live
All I ever get from you, keep it up
Lock it so they don't get in
What's the point in loving me?
Shutting off the world to see
Sure enough, they'll never know my name
I pick up speed you call to me, no
But I know these streets
And I'm faster than before
I've got everything
Even sleeping on the floor
My friends are alright and
I'll spend the night
Can't ask for much more
Oh I'm still standing still still standing
In the dark we've come to know
In the dark with no control
We're still standing still standing still
In the nothingness, at least we're not alone
It feels like home
Oh I'm still standing still still standing
In the dark we've come to know
In the dark with no control
We're still standing still standing still
In the nothingness, at least we're not alone
It feels like home
