"Take It to the Limit" is a song by the Eagles from their fourth album One of These Nights (1975). The single climbed to #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was sung by bassist Randy Meisner, which was notable because it was the first A-side single released by the group on which neither Don Henley and Glenn Frey sang lead. 

The song was written mostly by Meisner.  He said he wrote the first few lines one night while playing an acoustic guitar after returning from the Troubadour; however he was not able to finish the song by the time they were close to recording it, and Frey and Henley then helped him with the lyrics. On the meaning of the song, Meisner said in the documentary History of the Eagles: "The line 'take it to the limit' was to keep trying before you reach a point in your life where you feel you've done everything and seen everything, sort of feeling, you know, part of getting old."

Meisner's performance of the song was very popular with the audience in Eagles concerts, particularly when he would hit the high notes; but performing it on tour night after night (and sometimes being sick, or not taking good care of his voice) made it difficult to perform. Some nights he would refuse and his reluctance became a big issue between he and Glenn Frey. Eventually it was one of the reasons he would quit the band, in 1977. He was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit (coincidentally, the same bassist who had replaced him in Poco years earlier). Schmit's vocal range was similar to Meisner's and he was able to take over singing "Take it to the Limit" in concert.

Baltimore band Us And Us Only recently signed to Topshelf Records and they’re preparing to drop their debut album Full Flower come July 14th. Despite this being their first full length, the group are no newbies in the indie rock scene. They’ve released a slew of EPs over the years. We’re drawn as latecomers into their melodic chugging, tightly woven indie rock by Full Flower lead single Bored Of Black. The song entrances with a languid dreaminess yet captivates & galvanizes with a gummy tenacity. You can pre-order Us And Us Only’s debut album Full Flower from Topshelf, here.
