History:
The band was established in 1992 in the town of Varna, Bulgaria under the name "Resemblance". At that time Dimo and Ivan were highly influenced by the "Seattle Sound" (also known as "grunge") and were determined to incorporate that style into their music. During that first stage of their carrier they recorded over 40 demo songs, all in English.
In 1999 they changed their name to P.I.F. (an abbreviation for Patriots In Fashion) and moved to the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia, where they recorded their first, self-titled, album. It consists of 13 tracks, composed by Dimo and Ivan, and was highly critically acclaimed, and moderately commersially successful. Three of the album's songs were also made into musical videos, those being "Приказка"(Fairytale), "Вали"(It's Raining) and "Сам"(Alone).
In 2001 they finished their second album, "Pictures In Frames", which also contained some great songs, and was equally well accepted. The song "Отлъчен"(Banished) from that album also spawned a music video.
In 2005 the band suffered some lineup changes, some of it's members were replaced due to personal reasons and creative differences. After the last change was made with the acceptance of the drummer Atanas Kasabov into the band, they set out on creating their last album, "Passion In Fact", which was released in 2006 incorporates a slightly more electronic sound. It can be downloaded, free of charge, from their official web page (see contacts section).
Live Performances:
P.I.F. is a band which emphasizes on live performances and has done numerous shows throughout the years, mainly in Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv and occasionally in other bigger Bulgarian towns.
In December 2005, however, they made a successful tour around Europe, going through Germany and France, as well as England.
Awards:
Their first album, P.I.F., won an "Album of the year" award on the Annual Music Awards in 2001. Other successes of the band during that period were their nominations for the "Tangra" Radio Music Awards, where they were nominated in four categories, as well as their nomination in the "Forte" National Television music awards. During the same year they also won the "Audience Favourite" award at Bourgas' "Rock Explosion" festival with their hit single "Невидимо Дете" (translated "Invisible Child").

Приказка
P.I.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Остави в мен безчувствени мечти
Тъй искрен бе моментът за двама
с искащи, блуждаещи очи
Това е приказка една
И времето играеше драма
А ролите със образи бели
костюмите потънали в тъга
Това е приказка една
Това е приказка една

The Bulgarian song "Приказка" (which translates to "Fairy Tale") by P.I.F. is a melancholic ballad about a lonely day in the eternity of silence. The opening line "Самотен ден от безмълвната вечност" sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer describing the feeling of being left with barren dreams after a sincere moment shared with someone else. The moment was honest and meaningful, but now the singer is left alone with only their memories.
The lyrics continue to describe how time played out like a drama, with absurdity in the form of a comedy and characters dressed in white costumes now drowned in sadness. The song continues to repeat that this is just a fairy tale before transitioning into a final verse about cigarette smoke and an empty bookstore. These two images tie together the theme of loneliness and the fleeting nature of human connection.
Overall, "Приказка" paints a vivid picture of the emotional aftermath of a sincere moment shared between two people, highlighting the feelings of loneliness and the transience of human relationships.

Самотен ден от безмълвната вечност
A lonely day from the silent eternity left me with unfeeling dreams
Тъй искрен бе моментът за двама с искащи, блуждаещи очи
So sincere was the moment for two with craving, wandering eyes
Това е приказка една
This is a tale
И времето играеше драма
And time played a drama
Абсурдът бе комедия една
The absurdity was a comedy
А ролите със образи бели костюмите потънали в тъга
And the roles with white images drowned in sadness
Цигарен дим мастилница празна И приказка за стари времена
Cigarette smoke, an empty inkwell, and a tale of old times

Мир и покой на душата ти, Димо. Твоята музика беше създадена във бурно и смутно време която се открояваше от останалите защото по самата музика си личеше че си влагал цялото си сърце и душа и резултата е че след 20 години все още има хора които ценят твоята музика и тя няма да бъде забравена.
