I make it up as I go along, so when I'm sad, the song sounds sad, and when I'm hapy, I change, let's say from C minor to C major, and it sounds happy.

Which reminds me about the joke of someone opening Beethoven's coffin and he said to close the lid because he was decomposing. Sorry all I must be in "a mood" today.
