Mood is the actual function of scales and modes, which typically relies on the root note's individual character.
For example:
A Minor - sounds sad and bright. Well defined. (ABCDEFG) (basically every "sad" song you can imagine)
E Min (standard) - sounds mysterious and random (EF#GABCD)(most rock songs/pop songs)
E Phrygian - sounds mysterious and melancholy (EFGABCD) (Yngwie Malmsteen)
D Major - sounds colorful, but sullen and serious (DEF#GAC#)(Rush's Lock and Key)
F# Minor - sounds mysterious and twangy, but cheerfully so(F#G#ABC#DE) (Europe's The Final Countdown, A-Ha's Take On Me)
Needless to say, changing a single note or accidentally hitting the wrong notes has huge consequences.
Whenever you notice the mood of a song changes, it is usually due to a shift in key.
