Regardless of the genre their songs may fall into, Faith And The Muse show empathy, talent, and a style that connects their music with their fans. Through each of their songs they give a sliver of their talent for the listener to savor in each melody presented. It is this approach and their style in music and stage presentation that laid the groundwork for many bands that strive to recreate what Faith And The Muse shared with the music world.

It is one of the songs that is soothing to the ear, beautiful in its presentation, and gives a form of elegance that brings the music to life. The one challenge for any fan of Dark Wave or music with a mellow medieval feel is to place Sparks into a set and not have it diminish the songs around it. Some songs in history have had a certain quality to them where they stand out in what they give and that is a very good thing for the song and can be a bad thing for songs competing with it for attention.
