All the attention on trans youth in the news may feel somewhat new, but trans youth aren't.

We are part of a community, we are part of a tradition, we are part of a remarkable group of people

with deep, long- longstanding roots in this country.

To hear about American trans youth over the last century, listen to all the only ones, a new

series from NPR's Embedded Podcast.

It's all songs considered.

I'm Robin Hilton from NPR Music.

I think it's safe to say that no one was expecting a new Beatles song

to come out this year, but that's exactly what happened last week

when the band released what they're billing

as their final track together.

It's called now and then.

I know it's true it's all because of you and if I make it through, it's all because of you. For more than 40 years now and then existed only as a scratchy home recording that John

Linen made on a boom box. It's just him singing at the piano at his house.

And the surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr,

it couldn't do anything with it because the recording was just too bad. You know John's voice was lost in the piano

There was a lot of background noise

But just in the past couple of years we've gotten this truly mind-blowing technology that allows you to

strip out individual parts from a single audio recording. So if there's you know a

voice and drums and piano and background noise all happening at the same time on the same track

Now you can strip out all the individual elements and isolate them which means that they could finally pull out John Lennon's voice from that old home recording,

put it on its own track, and rebuild the song around it. I know it's true.
