🎸 Eagles – Take It to the Limit
“Take It to the Limit” is a song by the Eagles from their fourth album “One of These Nights” released on November 15, 1975. It was also issued as the third single from the album and reached No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the UK charts.
The song was written mostly by Eagles members Randy Meisner, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. Meisner, who sang lead on it, says the song began as his solo composition. As it remained unfinished when time came for the album to be recorded, Henley and Frey assisted Meisner in completing it.
The song’s meaning, according to Meisner, is 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. And just to take it to the limit one more time, like every day just keep, you know, punching away at it.
