It also once featured Carol Heller (Guitar/Backing Vocals), formerly of Get The Girl, but she later left the band to start a family. She is heard as backup vocalist in 3 of the tracks on the first album. The name +44 is a reference to the international dialing code for the United Kingdom, where Hoppus and Barker first discussed the new project.
On December 13th, 2005 (Tom Delonge's birthday), the band released a demo of the song "No It Isn't". Hoppus insists that, while it was directed towards Delonge's breaking up of blink-182, the release date was just coincidental. On September 1st 2006, they added a song called "Lycanthrope" to their official website, http://www.plusfortyfour.com. Also on September 7th, the +44 Song "When Your Heart Stops Beating" was played on KROQ radio. On September 18th, an unedited version of the song was posted on the band's MySpace profile.
Their debut album "When Your Heart Stops Beating" was released on November 14, 2006.
Hoppus has stated that the songs "Little Death" and "No, It Isn't" are about the break-up of blink-182. In both songs lines such as "The cry for inspiration never reaches ears on distant stars" or "You swore you wouldn't lose then lost your brain, you make a sound that feels like pain" can be seen to be related to Angels and Airwaves, DeLonges new project.
In several interviews Hoppus has claimed Tom quit the band through his agent and didn't even bother to call Hoppus or Barker.
While shooting the video for the first Single "When your Heart stops beating" Travis Barker broke his arm. Not noticing it was broken he played an entire European tour with the arm broken.
In an interview with Blunt Magazine in March 2009, Hoppus was asked if +44 will continue again, where he stated "I think so, yes. I love Shane [Gallagher] and Craig [Fairbaugh]. They are great guitarists and good friends and I'd love to do another record with them. I know that Tom [DeLonge] plans to continue doing Angels & Airwaves in some capacity but right now all of our efforts are on Blink."

I only wanna be part of your breakdown
She got caught by the four on the floor
It picked her up, and she'll never get let down
And now I can't stop thinkin' about it
All you people at the top don't know nothin' about it
We don't give a fuck what the price is
So just leave us to our own devices, and we'll leave you alone
I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark, when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
She says it all without a thought in her head
She says it all as she's pressed up against me
A little something just to take off the edge
A little more, and I'll fall off the planet entirely
I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark, when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark, when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
(I'll be there when your heart stops beating)
When we both get carried away
(In the dark, when there's no one listening)
When we both get carried away
The lyrics to +44's song When Your Heart Stops Beating are an emo-pop love song that expresses the connection between two people who are deeply in love. The opening lines convey a desire to stay in the moment and never go home. The singer craves to be part of the breakdown and not be caught up in the routine of life. The girl gets caught by the four on the floor, meaning the energy on the dance floor, and that's what picks her up, allowing her to never get let down. The singer can't stop thinking about the girl and how people at the top don't know anything about their love. They don't care about the price and just want to be left alone.
The chorus talks about being there for the person when their heart stops beating and when their last breath is taken away, not just in the good times but also in the times when no one is listening. The underlying message here is that love transcends death, and the singer will be there for them no matter what. The girl speaks her mind freely without any worries or inhibitions and leans against the singer, who's drawn to her. The last lines of the song echo the chorus, expressing that both the singer and the girl will be carried away together.
Overall, the song talks about the intensity of love, the desire to stay in the present, and the importance of being there for the people you love.
Line by Line Meaning
Turn it up, I never wanna go home
Let's turn up the music and keep the party going, I don't want to leave
I only wanna be part of your breakdown
I want to be there for you when things get tough, when everything falls apart
She got caught by the four on the floor
She was caught up in the rhythm of the music, dancing to the beat
It picked her up, and she'll never get let down
The music lifted her up and she won't be disappointed by how great it feels
And now I can't stop thinkin' about it
The experience was so amazing, I can't stop thinking about it
All you people at the top don't know nothin' about it
Those who are successful don't understand the same struggles and experiences we have
We don't give a fuck what the price is
Money doesn't matter to us, we just want to have a good time
So just leave us to our own devices, and we'll leave you alone
Let us do our thing and we won't bother you
She says it all without a thought in her head
She expresses herself without hesitation or overthinking
She says it all as she's pressed up against me
She tells me everything while we're close and intimate
A little something just to take off the edge
We'll do something to relax and feel less on edge
A little more, and I'll fall off the planet entirely
If we indulge too much, I'll lose all sense of reality
I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll never leave your side, even in the toughest moments
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
I'll be there to comfort you until the very end
In the dark, when there's no one listening
Even when it feels like no one else cares or is there for you, I will be
In the times when we both get carried away
During our wild and crazy moments together, I'll still be by your side
(I'll be there when your heart stops beating)
I promise to always be there for you, no matter what happens
(In the dark, when there's no one listening)
Even in moments of darkness and despair, I'll be there to listen and care
(When we both get carried away)
Even when we let loose and lose control, I'll still be there

@M8WhoSk8s
Despite these guys being a very short-lived band they still made a great record with songs that were melodic, had great emotion and helped me through some tough times as a teen
@skerpies
This album is a fucking CLASSIC
@Meadaa
Same with Box Car Racer
@Thomasmemoryscentral
Think this group qualifies as a one hit wonder as this is the only song of their's that had decent chart success
@M8WhoSk8s
@@Thomasmemoryscentral yeah they do. They only had one album anyways though
@Thomasmemoryscentral
@@M8WhoSk8s what is funny is that if Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus tried more original bands seperate from blink 182, they could almost rival all of jack whites various bands. They were The Transplants at one point.
Though When Your Heart Stop Beating didnt even crack the top 50 gets me thinking if blink 182 fans wanted more blink 182 and not really a side project with just 2 of the then members?
@tomdamian6603
Honestly this album is perfect. So much depth and emotion. No skips on this album
@greggdarby6610
Amen man
@EliottDeluca
Real but Lillian is kinda mid
@pk-don-dinero
It's more than one song?
