Noble Hops - Life by the Numbers (ft. Miss Freddye)

The track arrived just in time for Independence Day, delivering a message of self-reliance, accountability, and joy that feels both timely and timeless. Written by frontman Utah Burgess, the track is already being dubbed “simple advice” by fans who’ve heard it live.

“In a world where a good bit of people seem to be a bit disjointed and fragile, I try to offer up some simple age-old advice,” says Burgess.

“Pull your boots up, be productive, own your actions, and get outside and enjoy some sunshine. Our time is limited. Make it count.”

Recorded at Rattle Clack Studio in Pittsburgh, PA with producer and percussionist Jazz Byers, the single captures Noble Hops’ signature blend of straight–up American rock, lyrical storytelling, and unvarnished soul. But it’s the surprise appearance by Pittsburgh’s own Miss Freddye, known as the “Lady of the Blues,” that elevates the song to new emotional heights.

“I kept hearing something more in the bridge section—where it just lays it all out,” Burgess explains. “I thought, ‘This needs some Gospel truth,’ and the first person who came to mind was Miss Freddye. She came into the studio on Mother’s Day after working a full shift at the hospital and just belted it out. It gave me chills.”
