Composition
"You Are Killing Me" was described by The A.V. Club as featuring a "sparse arrangement consisting of straightforward, chugging, overdriven guitar, multi-tracked vocals, and slightly off kilter harmonies".[3]
Music video
The music video features the actor and Warhol superstar, Joe Dallesandro and is seen as a semi-autobiographical story about his alcohol addiction.[4][5][6][7]
Content
Pryor Stroud of PopMatters described the song as "a straightforward, chomp-rock ballad that glides forward with a spry Magnetic Fields-esque melody".[1]
