I guess the name 'Down in the Flames' is not the most obvious choice for a Roswell site. In fact, if you don't know the inspiration, it doesn't make much sense at all! The name came from a line in the Tori Amos song 'Not the Red Baron'. You can read the lyrics below and find a link to download a live version of the song.

The sadness/grief in NtRB combined in my head with the crash festival scene in the pilot episode. Max, Michael and Isabel looking on as the crash they assumed killed their parents is reenacted. You know the one. You are right there with them (in the flames). When I look back, I realize this is the scene that completely hooked me on Roswell. From that moment on I was with them on every journey.

Not the Red Baron Not Charlie Brown think I got the message figured another pilot down and are their devils with halos in beautiful capes taking them into the flames Not Judy G Not Jean Jean with a hallowed heart I see that screen go down in the flames with every step with every beautiful heel pointed Not the Red Baron I'm sure Not Charlie's wonderful dog not anyone I really know just another pilot down maybe I'll just sing him a last little sound many there know some girls with red ribbons the prettiest red ribbons
