tricky regular expressions

So regular expressions have been good to me so far, but now my problem
is a bit trickier. The string I'm getting data from looks like this:
myString =
[USELESS DATA]
Request : Play
[USELESS DATA]
Title: Beethoven's 5th
[USELESS DATA]
Request : next
[USELESS DATA]
Title: song #2
.....
I'm using this code to search myString:
....
pattern = '''(?x)
Title:\s+(.+)
'''
Titles = re.findall(pattern, myString)
....
The problem is that I only want the "Titles" which are either:
a) Followed by "Request : Play"
b) Followed by "Request : next"
I'm not sure if I should use RE's or some other mechanism. Thanks
