The "live band" sound of "as The Crow Flies", coupled with the tours at major festivals that following year, more than proved to a worldwide audience of rabid fans that Coen Wolters rocks, funks and plays the way he wants to play and leave the comparisions for this crowded genre up to others.
It's hard to stand in the shadow of great guitarists, but CWB fans know that Coen's songwriting, music and performances are much more than a typical blues rock Experience.
Coen’s performances are always high energy, reflecting his love for live performances. His guitar style is unique and emotionally charged, spiced with just a touch of Texas sizzle.
Born in the seventies, Coen began playing guitar until age 18, and within a few of years he was performing in local bands, making a name for himself while his skills advanced rapidly, and dramatically, as the young slinger advanced his name and reputation with each iteration.
The early part of his career consisted primarily of playing in rock bands, but by the age of 24 he decided he had to pursue a heartfelt longing to play blues based music.
Rapidly progressing from local bar band to an international touring band, the CWB performed on international highly rated festivals like the Skopje Blues & Soul festival (Macedonia), Rother Bluestage in Germany (with Snowy White) and the Grolsch Blues festival in Schoppingen (Germany).
Readers of the online rockmagazin “Rocktimes” voted the opener song of Broken Glass as 2nd best song of the year.
The German national major radio station “Deutschlandfunk” recorded a live show which will be broadcasted early 2007 for a German nationwide audience.
A newspaper review after the gig at the Rother Bluestage stated that Coen was:
“Young, hot and in a few years one of Europe’s most important Blues guitarists”.
Ain't No Way
Coen Wolters Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As you shake your head in disbelief.
Ain't no way I could bring you comfort,
As you burst out into tears.
We're sitting here, both crying.
Watching faith now, watching faith now slip away.
It's like waiting for a midnight train
Just passing by, passing by now.
[Instrumental]
Ain't no way I could have told you,
As you shake your head in disbelief.
Ain't no way I could bring you comfort,
As you burst out into tears.
We're sitting here, both crying.
Watching faith now, watching faith now slip away.
When realization dawns,
You slowly, you slowly walk away,
You walk away baby.
[Instrumental]
The song Ain't No Way by Coen Wolters Band is a heartbreaking ballad about a relationship that has ended, leaving both parties feeling lost and hopeless. The lyrics convey the singer's regret and helplessness in trying to console his partner. He acknowledges that there is "ain't no way" he could have stopped their separation, and expresses sorrow for his own inability to provide comfort.
As the two sit together crying, they watch "faith" slip away, possibly referring to their faith in each other or in the future of their relationship. The metaphor of a passing midnight train adds to the feeling of missed opportunities and fleeting chance encounters. In the end, the singer must come to terms with the harsh reality that his partner has already started walking away towards a new life without him.
The emotions conveyed in the lyrics are enhanced by the simple yet powerful instrumental sections. The guitar and piano melodies reflect the sadness and resignation of the lyrics, creating a melancholic atmosphere that lingers long after the song ends. Overall, Ain't No Way is a beautifully crafted song that captures the universal feeling of heartbreak and the struggle to let go of what once was.

Ain't no way I could have told you
There was no possible way for me to inform you
As you shake your head in disbelief
While you move your head from side to side in shock
Ain't no way I could bring you comfort
It was impossible for me to offer you solace
As you burst out into tears
As tears suddenly streamed down your face
We're sitting here, both crying
We are together, weeping
Watching faith now, watching faith now slip away
Observing trust disappear before our very eyes
It's like waiting for a midnight train
It's comparable to awaiting a train that arrives at midnight
Passing by, passing by the other way
It passes by going in the opposite way
Just passing by, passing by now
Simply moving forward, now gone
Ain't no way I could have told you
There was no possible way for me to inform you
As you shake your head in disbelief
While you move your head from side to side in shock
Ain't no way I could bring you comfort
It was impossible for me to offer you solace
As you burst out into tears
As tears suddenly streamed down your face
We're sitting here, both crying
We are together, weeping
Watching faith now, watching faith now slip away
Observing trust disappear before our very eyes
When realization dawns
When understanding finally emerges
You slowly, you slowly walk away
You depart gradually, gradually
