Where he finds the time? No one knows. 

But between being an actor, a Chicago Cubs fan and basically the most beloved man on earth, Bill Murray is recording an album. 

The New York Times reported that Murray plans to surprise fans by releasing a new musical album this summer. 

Murray's new project is titled "New Worlds," and will feature chamber music led by cellist Jan Vogler. Throughout the album, the 66-year-old Groundhog Day star will sing songs like Stephen Foster’s "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair," numbers from West Side Story, and perform select literary readings by Walt Whitman, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain.

In the New York Times article, Sofia Coppola, Murray's director in Lost in Translation, told the Times she definitely didn't see the news coming. 

"This is very unexpected," she said. "But because it's Bill, I'm not surprised. He is always surprising. That’s what’s fun about him."

There you have it, sometimes the universe provides exactly the thing you didn't know you needed.
