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").

P.I.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Когато нощ бди
Когато нещо тъмно
Стъпва тихо в моите очи
Когато не спя
Когато не бдя
Когато нещо плахо
Събираш целият ми свят
В себе си
Събираш целият ми свят
Опитвам се в ръце да побера
Цялото небе
Опитвам се да ти го подаря
Цялото небе
Цялото небе
Когато звезди
Когато лъчи избухват топли
В моите дни
Когато заря
Когато вълна
Когато тръпка боса чака тихо
Пред моята врата
Събираш целият ми свят
В себе си
Събираш целият ми свят
Опитвам се в ръце да побера
Цялото небе
Опитвам се в ръце да побера
Опитвам се в ръце да побера
Цялото небе
Опитвам се в ръце да побера
Цялото небе
Опитвам се в ръце да побера
Цялото небе
Опитвам се в ръце да побера
Цялото небе
Цялото
The lyrics of Цялото небе by P.I.F. speak about an intense and passionate love that feels all-consuming. The singer describes how, whether it's day or night, something dark and mysterious always enters their eyes. They can't sleep or stay awake without feeling the weight of this feeling, which also shines through in the darkness of their guilt. The lover becomes the center of their universe, gathering all their world into themselves.
The singer tries to convey the impossible nature of their love by saying they attempt to hold the whole sky in their hands and gift it to the beloved. The reference to stars, rays, heat and waves emphasize the intensity of the emotions, and how it feels like they're on the edge, waiting for the lover to knock on their door. The repetition of the phrase "Събираш целият ми свят в себе си" ("You gather my whole world into yourself") reinforces the idea that the lover is the central focus of their world and that the singer feels powerless to resist the allure of this powerful love.

Димо, бог да те прости. Изразнах с твоята музика докато живях в България. Сега живея в Америка от почти 20 години. Мъчно ми е че си отиде млад а имаше толкова много да споделиш с нас феновете навън и в БГ. След дълга работна седмица слушам твоите парчета. Голям музикант който ще живее завинаги в сърцата ни. Поклон.
